Was relatively accurate for me from the onset in August.  I even believe the predictions were an overshot in my instance, and as the months passed, the predicted wait shortened by about a month.

 

Regardless of the comfort it provides, it's only relevant to the USCIS stage, and the NVC stage is absolutely shrouded in mystery.  🤣 In a way, it got my hopes up way too much to track only the USCIS stage.

@hplusj I’m sorry you are having difficulty with the NVC stage & hope you have good news soon! What is going on?
 

We will also have our interview at the US Embassy in Joburg. I plan to add progress updates to help others in SA. 

I have information on my NVC experience in the thread I created about duplicate NOA2s, and I also try to update on the March 2024 NOA2 to Embassy thread when I can

we had good luck with trackmyvisa now.

When we first looked at it (back in march) it told us there was a 50% chance we'd hear something within 2 weeks.

and if i remember correctly we got our approval within a few days after looking (very weird coincidence that we happened to look right at that time, but he had just left from visiting and we were anxious for hear back at that point lol)

Just use it with caution as naturally they are estimations and guesses based on data, and it isn't going to be accurate for everyone - there are hundreds of cases from each month of filers who it isn't accurate for - I have come across October and Nov filers who used it and obviously it wasn't accurate they are still waiting.

 

It also isn't accurate for me either - a March 4th Filer. Said I'd hear back between May 15th and June 21st and still waiting.

 

So the best advice is, it's a great little service to use, gives you something to look at, but either way take it with a grain of salt and keep in your mind that USCIS activity in approvals is an extremely unpredictable thing - they can jump, skip, go back to whatever month or day they want to, it doesn't really seem to have a pattern to and there are still thousands of cases that it won't be accurate for because USCIS behaviour is so unpredictable. Not everyone will fall into the estimations - they are estimations!

 

Good luck! :)

@apnzz Thank you for your response. I hope you get good news soon! 
 

I couldn’t add the YouTube link to the video TMVN update. Here’s the title if interested in watching: 

 

USCIS I-129F July 2024: Skipped Cases & Low Wait Times 

Thank you, I already watched it when it was first posted.

 

The people who use tmvn, and those within that date range (feb 23 to march 6th) get their subscriptions for free indefinitely until they are approved. The owner of tmvn is a really good guy and made the decision to not charge any of us anymore because of how things have gone for us whilst using tmvn.

 

Unfortunately as of yet they still haven't touched my day nor week. 

 

Hopefully soon.
