Hi @gjd2017! So good to talk to to another April 5 filer:) I sometimes feel like I'm all alone in this boat. Your fiancé is from Japan? I spent 6 months in Tokyo! Can I ask where you get your February time frame? It seems like March folks are getting reviewed now. Don't you think that puts us in the beginning January category? 

You are definitely not alone!! Yes, he lives in Tokyo too. That's so cool! I was also living there for awhile and recently moved back home. 

 

Even though they have started March filers, the number of working days this month is shorter because they will have their holiday break. This pushes most of March to be approved in January. Leaving us, February, maybe even March. But we are on the earlier end so once they get towards the end of March, we can anticipate it to be soon for us.

Oh god, I used to worry about the interview (the stress) but now I can't wait until that day! 

 

This has been such a stressful and upsetting situation for everyone. We can only hope that things improve for us all.

 

Thank you for letting me know, I'll be sure to check that part of VisaJourney

No worries! I check it quite frequently too. My personal confusion is that for Belarusians interviewing in Warsaw, should I be looking at times for "Warsaw" or for "Belarusians"? That is, the Warsaw consulate has an average of a 69 day wait time, but Belarusians as a whole have an average of 110... I presume I should be looking more at the "Warsaw" time because we select our interview date ourselves, yes? Can't imagine it's somehow worse just because your assigned embassy is in a foreign country, everyone should have access to the same time slots...?

 

Also, I see 12 approvals and 2 RFEs today from the March 575xx-5790xx group. Not many by any stretch of the imagination, but still something.

Hi All,

Which case tracker app do people use to track uscis cases? Please advise. 

Thanks!

Do you use case tracker app? How do you monitor uscis daily activities?

Yes, CaseTracker; only started tracking recently, though honestly I don't advise because you can go really crazy refreshing it

Which one is it that you're using? I see a couple of them in play store, but I'm not sure which one to use.

Hmm, I have an iPhone, and the app is literally just called "Case Tracker"... background is American eagle in front of the flag.

 

Also - good morning to my fellow March filers, I come bearing great news! Quick search for cases 575xx - 580xx, despite it only being 9:45 in California right now, yielded 12 new approvals, almost a record for March, period. Huzzah!

Hi all. I uploaded this screenshot of my account from the USCIS site. Does this mean my NOA-1 is March 12? Thanks and good luck to us all!

I think they are starting to feel the heat of us March filers calling in and submitting/resubmitting our inquiries. Let’s keep hoping that it’s full steam ahead before the holidays!! 🙏🤞

Your NOA is March 12. If you are in doubt, look up your WAC number on CaseTracker; it will almost certainly only show you that March date.

We won’t keep quiet until all of us have our visas in hand! 🤝

Noticed there was also 6 filers from 580xx - 585xx that got approvals today, as well. Excited to see how this pans out by close of the workday.

How can you tell which is your number?

[LemonLemonade 64]

Wait what? o.o  So if my NOA1 I-797C ( I think that's the first notice) , my notice date was March 13 2021, but receive date is Jan 29 2021. And when I type my WAC on USCIS it says received Jan 29, does that make me March or Jan filter? Mine is WACxxxxx49xxx

 

Omg I think I just realized I might be Jan filter I think... and I am still waiting... 😱😭

If your received date is Jan 29, then you are a Jan filer. Have you contacted ombudsman? You have been outside normal processing for a while now.
