[Arturchik 33]

Just got out approval!!!! Checked like 100 times today and then it suddenly went to “Case approved”. 
 

Noa 1: 19 May 2022

Noa 2: 31 May 2023

 

Wishing everyone a speedy process!

i hear ya.. an believe me your right.. were just right now being hopeful because they jumped to our month... our original timeline is mid to late july.. as long as they consistant with that were happy...

Looking at a lot of clean-up by USCIS thus far.

 

Seems like cases are touched sporadically, while the tail-end of remaining 2021 cases are starting to pick up denials left and right.

 

May cases are wavering around 30% approval rate so far, but it's very scattered.

 

Fortunately, I haven't noticed much activity by the "additional RFE sent" officer in our month just yet, nor by "initial and additional RFE sent" officer. Those are brutal.

 

Yes, after so much case-crunching, I feel like I can spot signatures of individuals. 😅

I have the same issue as a NOA1: May 31-filer, I try to see myself as a June filer but honestly that is really tough to do.

You might be one of the first when they start June. I am May 3rd but somehow they seem to avoid that day so far;)
I think they have their chunks of files split by weeks or so sitting on their desk and you are screwed when you are at
the bottom of such a stack. As end of May filer you might be lucky to be on top of a stack.

The closer it gets to when it estimates adjudication, the more nervous I get. I can't even sleep at night anymore. I would hate to have to start all over again because I made some minor mistake over a year ago

Chin up!  Yep it's stressful!

It is extremely tough. Frankly, by now realizing that VJ is a commercial entity, I am surprised there aren't any ads for psychological help, for heavens know, we (still waiting to be adjudicated) all need it by now.

 

It's so mind-boggling to look at people around oneself and realize that one of them might hold the power to choose whether to let you be happy or not. Remember, some phases of the process rely on offices outside of California.

 

Stay strong.

 

I've pretty much put my entire work-free life on hold, devoting it only to communication with my special other and to checking cases statuses.

 

...

 

I'm pretty sure I'm voting against every incumbent during the next cycle. For no human should go through this.

There are over 3,500+ cases still piled up from pre-May 2023. And there are just as many RFE's waiting to be answered.

 

I'm not American by birth, and that's one part of this culture I can't accept to date: not having the courage to tell someone "no" - leaving them wondering and guessing for months after the fact instead. I mean, there are September 2021 cases still being actively adjudicated this week!

 

I so feel for the people going through this mental BDSM - and I'm so terrified I'm about to be one of them myself. My week's cases are 40% approved - and there are plenty of approvals from cases 2 weeks past mine...
