Overall week was great, I feel like in Oballaks sheet we can clearly see every month a slight increase in cases weekly done! That's amazing. Also Idk if it helps but as someone who does work with the state due my job is connected to state reports with social media I can maybe tell u that proper training takes around 6 months. I am not sure if it is the same, but generally how the training goes for us is that u first have 2 months someone look behind your shoulders, and then 4 months u work by urself but they tell us quality is more important than speed. Generally we do have a speed on how many things we have to process in a day / judge - but quality is still more important. Like I said IDK if it is the same, but since we do work with them together, I can see it (I work for an american company) so maybe that is similar why we see each month a increase? Like I myself just took this job in another company and I got 6 months training period...like I said it could be different but I do work for an American company in English which has to do with the state (kind of for security) soo o: Maybe we will keep seeing increases since they sped up on January and we are in May so they should be out of practice technically by June/July maybe some (depends how many batches they also hired at what time tho) o: But I think we will keep seeing increases like this! Amazing job also from everyone here who makes the sheets 😄 ! (Im also wondering if we see a slow day sometimes due big meetings requiremens etc.... I as example have 1 day a week where I have to have meetings and training lol..)

Excitiiiing! :3 I can't wait it seems like october will be touched by End of August/September if they keep this up, so super hype hype! I am actually flying to my fiance in September so very interesting cuz it's his bday so HYPE!

Ooh uppsies I didn't know whoopsie hoopsie. I thought for some reason the rejections didnt count there haha Idk why thank youu ❤️ I was curious cuz those random approves :3 Andi to the rescue for answers haha

That makes me wonder if that's why September October and other months are already 12%ish estimated done? Maybe Oballak can give more insight or someone else? Could it be besides obvious expedites that they do pull out random cases to like get a small number in the works for future months? o: Very curious!

I am wondering actually if USCIS has like cases that a similar to a case example a last number is different but the front might be the same that it got accidently put into the pile that was given to them, and they have to work on that, since it's their job, so whoever sorted might've effed up? I can see that being a possibility, besides that I'd go with expedite maybe that the system didn't yet fully register or smth... seems unlikely unless like u all said above are rng carried haha. Maybe I used all my rng with my gacha games 😆

Seems pretty accurcate all to me, I wonder if they start may here this week or beginning of next week, how much further they'll push honestly. At this rate I am wondering if they do start May here this week or next, if we can actually expect our NOA2 in October/November fully ❤️ Would be nice ALSO CONGRATZ @Bh_sarah I JUST SAW UR APPROVAL AS WELL ❤️ FINALLY!! SO HAPPY FOR U!! ❤️

I feel this so much! I was thinking with my fiance to file for a CR1 instead but we ended up deciding doing the K1 route because the fact it'll take a while to work for us was just better. I want to get to know the people, look around, have some time to process HEY Im in a different country WITH MY LOVE u know? I do absolutely agree that u choose what's best for u in the end! 100% what Naterson said ~ And I do agree! Honestly if October hears on October or even before, then 2023 fillers might hear in November/December!

We talked about it here before if u go back it's a while tho it won't affect the K1 process at all, those people moving over, have nothing to do with the K1 process staff so no worries~ And yeah FB and Reddit super toxic I try to stay away, tho the Sep/Oct filler chat is nice... everyone is hopeful we get all approved by like september/October And they just want everyone to be fast approved haha

I am assuming their min req probably is around 1200 per week from now on, doubt we will see a lot below that for a week unless it's a holiday or something happening, so that's nice! pretty much gurantees that most people will be approved who filled later than july within 13 months I assume. Good job USCIS u did it! Not 6 months but a little bit down, I honestly take it!

Moving to San Frans QQ

Super thank you~ :3

I actually have a question, my fiance just left, and I am planning to see him for 25 days in August to September cuz it's his bday, I still have a valid ESTA, but it has my old work there, do I need to contact someone to get it changed or any clues? I'm not too worried about being denied entry anymore since I will buy a back ticket, have a valid reason his bday, stayed before there and left for 4 weeks (originally 2 weeks planned but I got covid there so I had to stay 2 weeks more which wasn't a problem since esta was 3 months anyway) - got a official positive covid test back then too from a doctor so they know I was longer there due Covid.)) and I have a job which can vouch for me having vacation to that day (I will bring a copy showing I am on vacation) + I can prove I need to go back esp due my cute little kitten 😘 so I wonder do I need to change my esta or nah? Anyone knows? ><

Thank you for your hard work! Wondering if it'll be the same situation as last time haha, maybe they are aware of ur hard work and they try to hide their bugs more carefully now 😆 They don't want to be EXPOSED haha

Prolly bugged, Oballak trying to figure out what's going on I am assuming right now @Oballak

USCIS is truly something else lmao first their website sucked and then everything is a fiesta lmao haha. I def have an earlier range than u (seeing ur range on the bottom so very confusing lol) Honestly once this is all done we should meet up and eat food 😕😆 USCIS should pay us our michelin star food xd

I think USCIS is trolling me right now, it always said 19th October Case Was Received, and now it says this: Can they just change dates like this? Our copy also says 19th what lol haha

The NVC stage seems more on where someone lives I feel like because I am in a few groups and people from January are already in America now with their fiances, while I see people from Feb still waiting on the NVC stuff (they should hear a response soon I think tho cuz 3 months is max or?) So I am srsly wondering if the embassies that are filled just gotta wait longer, I looked at Germany and it seems like average wait for appointment is 7-10 days interview lol so Im wondering if its from country to country wish we had insight on that

I hope you get approved fast and everyone else too TT ❤️ It is definitely garbo I agree that it's like this, but you got this! I don't think particulary NVC stage is bad, wondering actually if it has to do with embassies and where u are from that one, I saw someone get their NVC number 50 days in , while I see some waiting 70 days, so I wonder if that's the stage where it matters where u live, or if it's just luck too TT

I agree with this, when we did this process we expected around 1 year and a half up to 2 years...I think now that october is most likely be approved by october/november is just luck we could have not predicted before that actually late 2022 will be getting their noa2 in 13 months most likely, for the other cases earlier 2022 fillers, it must be tough, since they don't have anything guranteed right now and the recent trend does show people who filled after 22 have a higher chance to be waiting instead maybe 14 months 16 😕 ...It must be extremly tough seeing other months being approved before u, everyone understands, but see it that way, maybe 1 months more and then another 2-3 and you have most likely visa on hand and be with ur fiance/fiancee! Depends on your country I guess as well tho (speaking 2-3 months for Germany here so..) I think if people would've known later fillers get approved within a year and a month or 2 , everyone would have filled later haha I do wish for everyone to be approved soon though we all got this! It's like another 4-5 months until everyone's approvals and peope waiting maybe 1-2 more months!! We got this ❤️

I just saw the sheet update with 80 cases XX , I am pretty sure it's a bug as well, no way considering I saw on FB quite a few approvals for march/april! If it's not I am fully expecting today like 400 cases or so haha. I am positive though with how the numbers are last few months, there is smth. going on! Also I do wonder sometimes, if people who work for USCIS check here ! Or even are aware of Oballaks sheet! 😆

Man I wish that you will be approved fast you have done a lot for us all ❤️ I am sure it must be so nerve wrecking though, waiting everyday, checking everyday TT I wish u seriously to be approved as fast as possible ❤️ ! I do think October at this rate will prolly come down to 12 months instead of 13 if they keep this speed up, at least the more likely earlier cases I guess..still it makes me sad seeing u and many others still waiting...we all want to be with our fiance/fiancee but at least make it fair and square TT

First of all thank you very much for this! And this actually is super interesting to see considering this is for feb to see how many got approved and still pending seems like yeah the last week sadly is the 20% most likely that's gonna suffer 😕 I am assuming the range we see and what u said then so 22 - 30th basically depending on the month and how weekends fall huh...that's such a shame honestly and feels kinda sad I wish for everyone a speedy approval! Did you get approved yet urself? I think u said u were feb or? :3 Hope u did! I just remember u were def earlier than we were XD ❤️

Just been seeing on FB a few NOA1 waiting on NOA2 from April saying they're April 1st and still waiting and they been seeing April 12 being approved o: But we do know the whole thing isnt in order lol so I am confused a bit myself but oof 22 to 25 is pretty rough I wonder if thats the dates where most people filled or the least? Really wish we would know more TT !

I have been wondering though...I been seeing on FB people who are like from the 20th to the 30th (basically last 10 days) usually get stuck but now I also see day1 fillers being processed slower...really makes me wonder what is happening currently there HAS to be a factor that we don't know yet or?

Thinking of UPS to be like extra safe because some of those are also...very big Q_Q 1/4 size of an anime person...very big xd Gonna be a lot of fun and expensive LOL ... I cant wait anymore to not pay customs tho! Germany I always have to pay customs for my figures from japan and all that~ In America I never had to pay customs yet! XD
