Sent! After 63 days, finally!

It's crazy, we're also July 5th NOA1 but our NOA2 was 8 days after yours. We're on day 63 of waiting to be sent to DOS

Unfortunately that part is completely embassy dependent as opposed to the rest of the process.

Yup, I've noticed that too. Those that received their NOA2 mid to like 25th March were sent to DOS mostly in around 40 days. Then USCIS thought it's normal so they took 2+ weeks to send April 1st and 2nd cases which they still haven't finished so no wonder that we're now waiting 2+ months. And not just that but the fact they don't even respect order for this part of the process is infuriating so I have to see April 4th sent before me. 62 days and counting

I really hope so. I saw yesterday that they started sending April 4th, no mention of April 3rd 🙄 This whole process is so unfair toward us who got skipped for that long and now another long wait for the next step. Horrendous And congrats ofc, I can just imagine the relief!

April 3rd? According to the subscription that we shouldn't be mentioning the latest they are sending is April 2nd. I am only asking because my NOA2 is April 3rd and haven't seen any cases for that date still sent to DOS. Exactly 60 days for me. 😭

We are still waiting to have the case sent to DOS. 7 weeks today exactly. Hoping to hear something next week. Do we know if they send cased to DOS every day? I think I saw a calendar with dates for NVC to embassy transfers but not sure if that's the case for DOS too

Without doubt. Although I was a train wreck this last mont and my f was trying to keep his composure but I knew it was hard for him not being able to help me. I've really started to suffer and I'm so glad that I can finally breathe even though this is just one part, I still have the interview and everything else to prep for. Never could've imagined this whole process would be this emotionally draining.

273 days. Finally approved last night. I'm still so numb, it'll take a few days to realize that this part is finally behind us.

Congrats! Unfortunately still no news for the two of us, our specific July 5th range, like 50 cases around us has just barely been touched. 270 days today exactly 😔

Congrats 😍

Congrats! 🥳

We know as most of us have reached front of the line according to them at the end of October to mid November 😂 I think in normal circumstances they can be rather reliable but not when something unprecedented as this happens.

I can't use the name of the website here because of the rules but yes for those who have a subscription with them it's been confirmed yesterday that they're coming back to processing us starting with June 27th and 28th.

Yeah, they've started approving June 27th and 28th. The subscription also confirmed that they are back to processing our skipped range and they'll be doing it in chronological order. I'm July 5th so not expecting anything soon because I'm aware they need to finish June then 1st, 2nd and 3rd of July. Also they're working on December, January and February cases which only adds up to us feeling hopeless but gotta keep the hope alive.

The data I have is from the beginning of November when I used my free subscription trial figuring that something went wrong and it said back then it was 278 for June 28th which was also the last business day in June so it's the only "officially" skipped day for June range. I haven't heard there's been any movement since then but those that have access to the subscription can tell you if anything has changed. I keep waiting for something to change so I can start with the subscription because I don't want to pay without needing to. There's still 449 pending June cases though so you can get an idea.

Well, as of today there's 1283 July applications left. The number of only July, not including June applications, they've skipped is 1275. Let's see what the next week will bring because logically they have to process more than those 8 otherwise I will be pretty sure they lost our applications. Also, if any of you who has the subscription sees any movement please let us know 🙂🙏

They've started approving January and February cases 😂😂😂😂😂

Yup 😂 At this point we're just trying to stay sane as much as we can as it's obvious they just don't gaf about gambling with other people's lives

That means nothing for us as the only reason that happened is literally the fact that they skipped us. Before they skipped us it was 9 months. And we're done with waiting a year to contact them. If they can't do justice by us there's no reason for us to follow their rule about "the earliest contact". I see they're approving Sept 30th, this is just outrageous.

I've read on Reddit that it was actually a Senator who contacted USCIS on behalf of one the applicants and was told it's a technical issue, then the applicant forwarded the news to the subscription. Still can't say I trust them but I'm hoping they wouldn't be lying to a senator. OFC that still doesn't mean a lot because we want to know what kind of tech issue it could be that affects only certain dates. It does sound rather sketchy but like @JKHUSA said it's the best we'll get for now

I suppose. But it's a serious question. If they really do have a technical issue we are entitled to know what kind of issue it is, it's our lives here they are playing with. The more they keep us out of the loop and pretend that everything's peachy the more time passes by. Do we need to wait until July, until next year, until 2027 to be told that they can't find our applications and that we need to file again? Because technical issue can be a lot of things and if you haven't processed a single one out of the range it could very well mean that you've lost 1600 applications and don't want to come clean about it.

How sure are we that what they're saying is truth? They have ignored us for exactly 4 months. The common decency would be if you know that you have a tech issue you then send out some kind of statement letting 1600 people know about it. Maybe it's just their way to get us of their backs so they can continue making their processing time better. If my profession has taught me anything is that "diligently working on solving the issue" is like the biggest lie ever and something you use to get others to back off. If there is an issue they should've let us know about it instead keeping their mouth shut for 4 months straight. What are they doing to fix it if it's true? Have they lost 1600 application? Do we need to file again? If so are we going to need to pay the fees again? And if/when they finally start doing their job I'm not optimistic that we'll be prioritized as they've showed so far they just don't care about people and how they affect our lives. I know this is a lot of what ifs but we have to think about every scenario atm. I can't believe the level of negligence they showed if this is really the truth.

Not sure what's happening but I came to ask if anybody else saw the news about the supposed technical issue. I'm guessing the previous posts were about that?

You take what you can get 😄🥳
