Guys! We got approved !!!! I cant believe it, I lost all hope when I saw how few cases have been getting approved since the beginning of the month and that they skipped august and moved onto september/october, but now I opened the case tracker and there was our 2nd active review. My husband just woke up and confirmed that the approval letter was there!

My timeline is updated, but ill pu it here as well:

PD August 3rd 21, petitioner is a citizen

Nebraska transfered to Vermont

AR 1 Jan 24

AR2/ NOA2 July 23 (which is Saturday which I find odd)

Good luck to all of you!

Omg I am so happy for you. I know you have been feeling the same as me. Hopefully I can share the joy of my approval with you soon!

337 days and still nothing. I just booked my 3rd trip to go visit my wife at the end of August.

 

I applied for the global entry program last weekend and still haven’t received my conditional approval. Anyone have any experience with this? My family (6 people) all applied and got theirs the next day, I’m the only one still unapproved. 
 

I’m beginning to think Uncle Sam has something against me.

I applied for GE and had to go to Wright Patterson AFB (the nearest one) for an interview then received it within a week.  It's made a huge difference but the interview was an hour away.  Took the entire evening and almost everything we talked about was how flawed USCIS was. Not much about me.

Yea I’m 332 days and still nothing. I am buying my ticket next month to go and see my husband in November. Hoping and praying we have our approval by the time I go back. If not it will be 450 days (15 months) and still waiting

My GE application was just approved. That should help me whenever I return from overseas. Last time in O’hare it took 2 hours to pass thru customs. 
 

I just read an article written this year about USCIS purposely taking longer to process requests because if they did them quickly they wouldn’t have justification for annual budget increases. It’s a sick game these people play with others lives and happiness. 
 

Thanks for the reply.

Just wondering, where did you hear this?

Couldn't agree more.  I think they should have to go through the process as a condition of being hired. It should be a part of their vetting process for employment.  However, it's the government.  They don't give 2 shits about the people they supposedly "serve" because they get their paycheck whether we wait a day or a decade.  If there were competition from the private sector, those processing times would drop like flies.
