Yup, you can unsubscribe from that as well from those emails that are being sent about others near your filing date. It really was an issue because first of all you're getting my hopes up and second I literally gained an access to other people's accounts. That was so weird.

I opted out off VJ estimates back in November. 😂 It was just contributing to my stress and once I realized and it was confirmed that they skipped us I knew it makes no sense to keep those estimates, especially since they started sending me emails that I got approved and it would be someone else's account, 3 weeks in a row.

I only see those 13 from yesterday, nothing was showing on Monday. Still, terribly low. But at this point, like you said, I'll take it.

In an organized world we wouldn't be in this situation to start with. But yes, let's agree that in an "organized world" we should be next. But I'm so discouraged with the current numbers. Yesterday not even 1 July application was approved. They are working on August 15th and 16th cases according to casestatusext. There's still 400 July applications between current number of unprocessed ones and our range (I'm not counting June here). Our July range is around 1200 and currently there's more than 1600 applications waiting. At this rate I'm not sure if we can hope for the beginning of March for things to start moving tbh. I thought they couldn't go lower than December number of processed applications but it seems January will be even worse.

If we could only see an approval. Just one. Is it really that hard 🙄 Again, I can only imagine how January, February, March and so on filers from last year feel when they see August being processed. It's even worse than for us.

Yeah. Sorry, bad wording. 🥲 And I honestly can't believe that didn't happen but I guess they were too busy with August applications. 🙄 We went from hoping to finally be together this upcoming spring to thinking if it happens by the end of 2025 we'd consider it a success.

If I understand correctly you're checking the nearby cases percentage under your subscription which doesn't show the whole month of July and the other number shows the overall number for July. I might be wrong though. I was hoping they'd at least go under 1500 cases for July as our range is 1275 so that would give us some hope we might see a movement in a month but 1699 is not promising at all. Not to mention that this month has/had the lowest number of processed applications in the last 18 months which is visible on TMVN. Absolutely horrifying.

I guess you're right 😅

This. Things started going downhill when they let go of those 400+ workers I believe and after that it never went back up. All that story about moving offices did nothing positive in reality as numbers still keep going down. It's so hard to not be frustrated when you can't be with your person through all the hardships and happy moments because those that are supposed to do their work properly don't. Yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel but it's unfair to have to wait way longer for that light when we shouldn't. They are messing with people's lives here. Not to mention that it's now obvious they won't deal with our range before January 20th and that's now an additional reason to stress and worry. What I also don't understand is why are we allowed to only contact them once a year has passed and not after 8 or 9 months. I don't want to have to imagine having to contact them after July 10th 2025 (that's our inquiry date) and to only be told that we're within processing time. It's cruel. And to answer @Bunninuts, they don't separate by country at this stage. That comes later. It's all supposedly done randomly.

Tbh I'm having hard time believing that it's a consequence of them moving offices. Simply because they did it before. February/March range was skipped before they moved offices in August. They have their reasons which probably have to do with their numbers and we're just a collateral damage to them. It's infuriating seeing August 7th case being approved while you have not only 1700+ cases from July waiting but hundreds from February, March and so on and you know you can't do anything. It's awful knowing that once more we won't be able to celebrate together birthdays, anniversaries and all the other important dates, especially for us whose partner doesn't have a way of coming to the US even as a tourist and can only see each other twice a year but we still have to keep a positive mind here and hope for the best. Nothing else we can do.

Oh wow I even see some July 5th update. Let's hope for things to start moving then. Thanks for the update! 🤗

Honestly, I don't think that contacting your representatives will do anything, they'll just tell them that you're withing normal processing time which is true. I checked yesterday to see if there's an update in the processing time for K1 and it's now 8.5 months but was 9 like 2 weeks ago so I think it's fair to assume that they've skipped our range so they could improve their numbers. We don't have a problem with waiting, you go into this knowing it'll take time and patience but you don't expect you'll be pushed aside and left to wait without any explanation. It's like you said, they're holding our range in favor of another and that's what's unfair, especially given the fact that we are all paying the same amount of money so the least you hope for is that the process will be fair. I saw yesterday, possibly on reddit that someone's whole process lasted 7 months from start to them arriving to the US and that was painful to read as we're now approaching 6 months of waiting. But yeah, we need to stay positive as we all can see that there are still people from February and March waiting, probably the skipped range so it's even worse for them. Please let us know should you see any movement in our range on TMVN. 🙏

They've started approving that skipped range at the end of August so it's been going for a few months now and still not done. I also keep in mind that their processing rate was higher 2,3 months ago than it is now. 🥲 I mostly think it's unfair because we all pay the same fees so the least you'd expect is that they process it in order but that's obviously not how it works.

July 5th. We reached the front of the line around Oct 30th and just when we thought it's gonna happen soon they started on July 12th cases and I knew that our range will be skipped. TMVN confirmed it 2 weeks later. It's unfair, especially when you see people complaining how it's slow and they filed like a month or 2 after you and you're aware they'll now get their application reviewed before us. We were hopeful that they'd reach us by January 20th because nobody knows at this point what the new administration will do but now we've come to terms that that probably won't happen. It is what it is. Life is unfair. Just train your patience.

I've unsubscribed from VJ email estimates. The last 2 times I had the same thing happen, it said I was approved and when I would click on the account link in the email it was someone else's account both times. So I've decided to opt out. And the estimate before that was all over the place, October, November, February, January. Once I realized that there aren't enough cases here in my range I unsubscribed. I'll probably subscribe to tmvn for a month if we don't get any news by the end of the year as my free trial ended.
