From my understanding that number means nothing. My process went from 5 months to 4, 3, 2 (always in more or less six week intervals), then to 5 weeks. From there it updated to 5 months, 4, back up to 5 and now 6 months. I saw an article explaining how they come up with those numbers and I’ll try to find it for you, but bottom line is many people have experienced arbitrary changes on their countdown that didn’t reflect on how fast their i130 got processed. Try not to look at that tab when you log in, just go to the documents one and see if they put your approval on there. And don’t give up hope, be kind to yourself, hug animals of your preference for serotonin and drink lots of water. Looking at that number will do you no good, it’ll just pile anxiety and stress you for no good reason. I knew because I keep torturing myself the same way but since it went to 6 months here last week I stopped looking at that number and I’ve been despairing a bit less  

Yeah those timelines absolutely mean almost nothing. Hopefully some june filers should be getting aproved here in june or july and then we can start expecting to see ours also approved.

Looks like they've started approving 2nd week of May !

We made it to the week in June! I am praying, we will start to see some approvals!

How could you figure that out? I filed at July 12……..what do you think when that is working?

[UK_Dreamer 42]

I'm following the 'may 2023' filers thread and that's how i'm working it out.

 

Based on the current rate, i would expect that someone from july 12 would be approved the last week of july or first week of august

Any update from anyone yet? I know May had more applications then June so there is likely going to be some delay.

No nothing yet PD: June 10th still hoping for something soon 

[Ara Burton 24]

Best of luck June filers. You will be approved soon!!!!!!

 

My PD is all the way in November but I check on these threads from time to time to see how things are trending.

Given current progress it seems like mid-next week is when they'll start looking at June

How do you know which service center your case is at?

Congratulations @enitsirhc thank you for sharing. Hopefully the is an indicator that the timeline section in VisaJourney is not up to date. I still see May 11th for TSC.

For both notices (Notice of Receipt and Notice of Approval), bottom left part tells you which service center dispensed the notice. 
 

When we filed our i130, the NOA1 came from Texas Service Center. 
NOA2, Vermont.
