Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping well.

 

I was just chatting to my Fiancé about the emails I get from this forum with my approval estimate dates and wondered about other people experience with this. 

 

I know it's an estimate but is there anyone on here that was getting those dates emailed that are now approved? 

 

How close was it? What's your experience?

 

I'm only asking as mine ( estimate ) has moved forward by 7 weeks which is great.

I'm thinking about the time I'm going to need to sort out my life in the UK ( sort out work, my house that I own, sell my car etc) I know there's no certainty until I physically have my visa but it's good to have an idea of what will happen and when which I guess is the whole point in everyone sharing their timelines.

Thanks for taking the time to read my rambling thoughts.

Mine keeps being wrong in the email when I compare it to what I see on my timeline here. So I would not use it to plan too much, or get my hopes up. That being said that might also be because my consulate is not a very common one on the site, but we filed before you guys and it keeps telling me there is not enough data to give me a timeline.

Unfortunately, many people do not fill out their timelines which makes the prediction of the site more inaccurate. It's very hard to be accurate in any circumstance because USCIS sometimes gets up to strange antics such as skipping two entire weeks of submissions. Also, individual factors (background checks that take longer than usual to process, for example) have a big influence.

The predictions are far from perfect, but hey, it's something!

Reading is what? Fun-da-men-tal!

Granted this was years ago; however, I received notice of petition approval on the front end of the VJ timeline estimate.
