Happy Birthday! 

Ok Augustine’s, I’m about to board a plane to the UK to see my ❤️ I will catch you all in about 8 hours time and I expect to see a whole heap of approvals!!!

I don't believe anyone here would argue against strong vetting and security.  If that is why I'm at 9 months then I completely understand.  That doesn't explain August, October and November approvals though.  If they are extreme vetting May and June, why do some November non-expedited filers get approval in under 70 days?  The extreme vetting argument disappears when some filers are approved in 68 days while others are waiting 270.  

Congratulations!! 😊

Congratulations!! 😊

OMG!!! Guys I check my status online just right now and this is what I got! So excited I’m shaking right now. NO1 Aug 15 and WE GOT APPROVED Feb. 12 NO2.
Hoping for the best for ya’ll August is a miracle!!😁😁😁

Happy Birthday! 

Happy Birthday! 

@EmEhL I'm going to assume the answer is no because obviously all of us are planning to work eventually but we aren't legally allowed to work till we get EAD (Employment Authorization Document) or a green card.

Hello all you love birds!! I wanted to take a peek at Augusts filers. We are July 31st filers. We are still waiting...........  But we are strong and happy. I'm gonna wish everyone the best of luck.

It's back on 

Maybe they’re working on updating everything for Monday?? Haha wishful thinking lol 
 
Yeah I’ve checked mine and it’s acting up. Definitely try again tomorrow 😊

Yep, me too. Something is wrong with the USCIS website, it's not us.  It says:

This site can't be reached.
The connection was reset.
 
Hopefully it's back running by Monday!

Hello Augustines 
 
Friday was so good for all of us!! I hope everyone who is still waiting are feeling strong and positive!!
Things are just getting started, and they DID start STRONGER than ever! 
This is a new record! Even better than how July started (First week and we already saw at least 150 approvals!!!)
 
I will put first overall movements for the week, and then approvals.
You will again see some dates with no approvals (Things are coming in mail!!!)
Please check your mailboxes.
I already saw some only mail - silent noa2s from those dates with little to no approval!

Hello there! I am an August 25th filer, too. Good luck my fellow Augustine! I hope and pray that noa2 will rain next week for everyone.

Lol that’s all we can do right now. Just try and keep busy! I’m sure we will have our approvals soon 

Just wait. It'll take them one - two months to clean up the month, at least. There are still people waiting in May and June, and of course, in July. USCIS only takes inquiries seriously (or at all, it seems) after you're gone past their processing date on the website (It was June 27th last I checked). You're still in normal processing times. 

Congrats!! Ghost approvals are here to stay!

Been lurking for a while and thought I’d post. We received our NOA1 August 2nd. Waiting patiently for our NOA2. Congratulations to everyone so far on their approvals!
