There have been so many approvals from late July that I began wondering if May, June and early July had really been skipped over. So of course I had to do some research.

Period Sent        NOA1's   Approved    Open   % Complete
    Jan             28         28         0       100
    Feb             41         41         0       100
    Mar             50         49         1        98
    Apr             46         42         4        91
    May             64         51        13        80
1st 1/2 June        46         29        17        63
2nd 1/2 June        23         18         5        78
1st 1/2 July        28         21         7        75
2nd 1/2 July        80         24        56        30

The lack of late June and early July approvals reported recently makes sense because it looks like those periods are 3/4 finished. The question still remains as to why May and the 1st half of June is lagging behind. It could be petitions from May have more than the normal number of RFE's and complicated name checks. The first half of June could have the same problems but it seems strange that only 63% of petitions have been completed when the second half is 78% finished.

The other thing I see is that despite the many approvals, there is still a long way to go before the second half of July is complete.

Bill? Where is your stinkin' NOA2? I check all day everyday looking for your announcement! I think I want your approval almost as much as you do!

C'mon VSC give Bill his NOA2 NOW!!!!! I need to be able to relax!

Yeah come on VSC, give Bill his NOA2 and also in addition to that please give me mine, because it's sitting right next to his....!!

Thanks guys! Given how VSC has open petitions stretched from April to July, I am thinking I might be approved today, the end of January or anywhere in between.

I know; the uncertainty is the killer, isn't it

and what you said above was pretty much - like, close to word for word - what I've been telling people who've asked about our progress

I'm sorry to be a pest but do you think you could split this to show whats left at each of the service centers? Thanks again for all of your hard work on these reports!

The figures here are only for VSC. I did not do CSC. Maybe if I get some time later I will do CSC also.

Thanks Bill for all the info! As the July approvals started pouring in, I thought we might just be approved but looking at all the data who knows when!

Bill, How'd you get all this information?

Bill, How'd you get all this information?

VJ timeline searches. It is simple to do as long as you remember that VJ excludes the opening and closing dates in the search.

Thanks for the info. But who is it? It is helpful to know the member's name so that people know if this is an approval of which they are already aware.

[Bill y Bella 0]

Here is a new one that was reported late. She just found out today when she opened the envelope from USCIS that had been in her house for at least a day and maybe more.

Dariusz & Sandra (Sunsi) Sent 7-23. NOA1 7-31. Approved 12-3.

That makes 19 for the week and the month not including the 2 that have still not updated their timelines.

Bill, yup , makes sense!

Here it goes, posted by Turtles today!

I have just recieved an email saying

On December 6, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

But i cant check the online case since they are having matience problems. Does this mean everything is approved and that i do not have to mail back any additional information? I did not recieve any mail in the postal yet, just this email.

I was just curious if step 1 is complete?? Whats next now??

Hey guys (directed mainly at Bill I suppose),

I got a letter from NVC that gave me our case number and said blah blah in about a week your petition will be forwarded. This was 2 days ago. I, of course, called on...Wednesday, I believe, and was told it had already left. Hm.

My main concern however, is that they misspelled my fiancee's last name on this form. On both NOA1 and NOA2, her name is correct.

If I were to call DOS, could they tell me

1) If it's made it to London yet

2) If her name being misprinted on this letter is a problem

3) If it is, can they fix it?

On every document but this, her name is spelled right. I'd like to think that this letter is rather meaningless to the whole process but I'd like to know for certain before I assume it is and then find out "oh ####### that's a problem" when she gets to, say, the interview.

Congratulations on all the new approvals - at least they still workin'! And 19 approvals in 10 days - GREAT!
