I'd heard they're working on end of September 2023 but then as you say you hear a December has been put through and it's like "what?!!".  But how does anyone really know what date they are on it seems random though its not supposed to be 😪

They're on around 5th October 2023, if you follow the sequential order of things, not the anomalies included.

Oh I hope you're right 🥰 I'm 9th - 13th October with 6 cases in 3 different service centres. Do they approve parents, then the kids do you know? Or can they just be random? Thanks

It's hard to say. We are 3. Spouse and 2 kids. All with the same PD. Filed within seconds of each other. Spouse and one child were transferred to Nebraska 4 days after filing, and on the same day one child's petition was transferred to California. Around 13th January the California petition got moved to Nebraska. You would think this was them linking our cases under the same reviewing officer, right? But no. We got an RFE on 17th January for the spouse. Responded on 28th January. Got another RFE on 31st January for the child that was transferred from California to Nebraska for the exact same thing, just with different choice of words. The way the two RFE letters were written it did not seem like it was the same person. But I have often heard of spouse and children getting approvals simultaneously. Still waiting on some movement after our responses to the RFE's.

Hope you are answered quickly and on to the NVC soon. I'm dreading the RFEs and keep thinking what if I didn't fill out something right. Etc. 

 

Mine had alot of activity around the time we filed and said actively reviewed etc a few weeks later but nothing since. That might have been them moving, not sure though. I have 3 in Texas, 1 in Nebraska and 2 in Vermont.

I have seen some October approvals, but yes it seems random, hence the reason I think we should start asking questions.
