Thanks! Yeah we were at CSC. My fiancé in Cali received the email but if you go on the USCIS website you can check your status, and I think you can set up email notifications so as soon as something happens they let you know!

Wow, congrats to everyone who's getting approved - we are still waiting but I noticed the case numbers right before and after ours +/- 1 are I129F that have been approved. My mind is alternating between being excited and fearing that we either got the slow adjudicator or are lost in a pile somewhere, haha!

Hello all. We are also July filers with a NOA1 date of July 17, 2013. I just found this thread after seeing the June filers thread I really felt left out. Glad to have found my place with seemingly great people because I don't know about you guys but my circle of friends mean well but are irritating with their lack of understanding of the process & unhelpful advice of "what they would do if they were me." Like I can go to USCIS and demand they put my petition through NOW lol.

I got super excited when I saw a July filer get approved. I knew it had to be an expedite but I confirmed it wasn't. YaaaaY hope filled my mind that since they're NOA1 date was a week before mine I was ok thinking I should hear something within the next week, but then a July filer with my same exact NOA1 date was approved yesterday So there went my 'dated batches' theory I created in my head. Now I'm still hopeful but I was so prepared to celebrate our moving to the next step.

On a positive note I literally have to keep reminding myself that it does seem it will be before November like I thought so I need to be appreciative. .. right? Lol

Thank you all for being here and I'm here for you all.
