I know it's early days yet, but would love to start a thread here for fellow Sep23 filers so we can track progress together!

 

Filed: Sept 22, 2023.

NOA1: Sept 22, 2023. 

AR: Sept 29, 2023.

 

I am contemplating the filing of an I-129F. Not sure yet.

We're just a few days apart! Let's see how this fares for us experience wise.

What's the estimated wait time MyUSCIS gives you?

[Cookie88 81]

We have 3 applications - 2 are for step-children.

 

From the start it showed one step-kid as 4 weeks (then when that time ran out it showed 'taking longer than expected'). The spouse showed as 3 months. And second step-kid showed at 6 months.

I was hoping to see some useful signal in this estimate, but judging by what you are saying they may just be using a random number generator 🙃

 

I guess we'll wait and see.

Hello Friends: 

My husband and I are part of the September 2023 gang. Here are our dates. 

• Mailed: Sept 19, 2023
• Filed: Sept 22, 2023
• NOA1: Sept 22, 2023
• Service Center: Texas (TSC)
• Spouse Citizenship: Mexico

The Texas center is currently processing petitions with NOA1 dates of May 27, 2023; so the backlog has about 3 months of petitions ahead of us "septemberers". I am hoping for some of us to get responses in October 2024. 

The historic processing times for USCIS (all service centers) held steady at about 11.5 months for all of 2023 and 2024; so, I was hoping we would have some action by July 2023. Unfortunately, that is not happening; so, obviously processing times have slowed and the rolling statistics published by USCIS have not yet updated.  (source data)

 

Data from the state department shows that 9,837 happy couples received CR-1/IR-1 visas in June (1,824 of these were CR-1). 

 

My thoughts are with all of you as we wait for action on our petitions. 

 

Joshua

I hope you are not completely right with the 3 months…._😔

My comrades in suffering:

I just found this website and have entered my information in the hopes of getting a more proper time estimate than from USCIS, which hasn't really communicated with me.

• Filed: Sept 19, 2023
• NOA1: Sept 19, 2023
• Service Center: Texas (TSC)
• Spouse Citizenship: Iran

My wife is not able to come to the US until this completed — if it is completed, ugh. She will hopefully be interviewed in Ankara, but I have not heard anything beyond a receipt saying that our case has been received.

Sending out good vibes to you all.

We have the same NOA1 date! We filed online though. Our NOA1 came from TSC but I spoke to an agent via Emma chat a few weeks back and found out one I-130 was transferred to CSC and the other two I-130’s forwarded to NSC.

What are the rest of you guys in Sept seeing in your VJ estimated processing time? 

[emeditz 3]

Pretty much the same for me: October 10, 2024 to November 16, 2024.
