I am so happy about the July approvals, especially yours since I know how much time is of a premium in your case. However, after remaining so calm since the NOA1 debacle I'm beginning to fret and wonder whether our petition got lumped according to 'NOA1 date' (late September) and not the 'received date' (late July) as hoped. I'm also really hoping our NOA2 arrives before I return to the UK on the 28th. We keep checking the mail and status online and nothing so far.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-12-20 12:07:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	I think Stilltheprettiest's ideas for the list are fine and sensible. It is sad for people who have waited more than six months for an NOA2 and no one is saying we should ignore them but since USCIS has some kind of 6 month promise then it is safe to say that those people (pre April 12) are not sitting on a shelf awaiting adjudication, they have been adjudicated and awaiting further evidence or stuck in some kind of AP hell. Very sad for those people but we can not assume that everyone bothers to update their timeline. Thanks for doing the list. It is useful to see roughly what is happening at CSC and saves me looking at individual timelines and filtering for approval posts And another big fat congrats to weedebz for that NOA2. For me, Debz's approval was always the sign that July petitions were on the desks. Now we know we're getting somewhere. Good luck everyone	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-11-14 13:13:00

I just signed up, but I've been a lurker for the past 5 months or so. I check the USCIS website daily, and nothing has changed in my account since 6/22. So I decided to give the old RFE trick a try today. To my surprise the guy told me that I was approved today! It is kind of strange that the status has not been changed on the USCIS website yet. The customer service guy told me that it was because I was just approved today and I should receive my notice in 1-2 weeks. At least they're moving along with June filers. I wish you all luck! Congratulations CherryBlossoms and thanks for coming out of hiding to tell us QUOTE (My Lao Po @ Nov 1 2007, 03:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Last, IMO, for those of you worrying about an RFE......don't worry a lot!!! Very few RFE's are issued this late in the process. Most come soon after the initial I-130 and/or I-129F is sent in and that important first content review and document scan takes place at the front door, so to speak. It is not common to see the RFE this close to NOA-2.......if there is to be a surprise, you will most likely get it during the interview at the Consulate or Embassy. This is also why the "approval" we all speak to at this stage, is really in name only. Remember, everyone of that 10 to 20 % who get blue or white slipped at the interview, were each approved at the NOA-2 stage. And yes, at least we are seeing some very notable movement with the June filers !!! The next week to ten days will bring many more June NOA-2's. I'm not sure this is strictly true since post July USCIS has been delayed greatly on input and issuing NOA1's. The initial checks USCIS do are on payment, signatures, presence of applicable forms. I doubt they recognise any errors beyond that. I do hope you're right but I would have thought that since the apps gather dust for a couple of months or so between issuing the case number and reaching someone's desk for processing that detailed checks could generate RFE's once the applications are due for final processing. However, I would agree with you that most petitions achieve approval at this stage in the game. Plus, if the pressure to speed up is on, I reckon they could be being less strict about certain aspects people sometimes receive RFE's over. Anyway, good luck everyone. Let's hope we all get approved without RFE.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-11-01 13:36:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	Of course it's fair that people should be allowed to voice their opinions on a forum such as this. I personally, was not casting any judgement over those who are finding the process difficult to bear. We ALL find it difficult to a lesser or greater degree. We each have individual circumstances which affect our ability to cope periodically. And yes, the process itself leaves a lot to be desired sometimes. People are not processed in exact order, but it's probably as close to being an exact science as it can be. That is not to say it can't be improved and the only way to make improvements is to make your feelings known to those who have the ability to enforce the necessary changes. All I was trying to say is that each of us who is going through this process, and all those who have been through it in the past, have something positive to gain from this. I believe that is the ability to see just how important our relationships are to us. I doubt any of us takes our partners for granted or is complacent in any way about a future with them. This time apart is a real test to the strength of any relationship. A test which will serve us all well in the future. We all feel the negativity at times, but sometimes, someone here posts something that makes me see that there is actually a lot to be positive about. Isn't that the purpose of any forum? Complain as much as you like, but remember that you're not alone and every time an approval occurs take heart that you are one step closer to being with your partner for life. Try to see the positive side of things too.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-21 12:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	Whilst it is better to be together I don't think it is true to say there is nothing positive about an enforced separation. Admittedly there are times when I positively hate it, when I feel like a huge part of my life is missing, when it all *seems* hopeless. I have learned though, that thinking that way makes me feel ill and overwhelms my ability to be thankful for what I have. It also makes the time go much more slowly because I am constantly thinking negatively and not focussing on the great times to come. Obviously, life is so much easier for couples who can spend every day together, making plans and enjoying each others company. I wonder, though, from past experience how much we take for granted when we can do that. Life is so much the way we want it that we never stop to think about how much of what we have is ultimately what we want. And then relationships sometimes break down. This process has, if nothing else, made me realise how much my fiance and I want to be together. The time spent apart has made us both think in a more focussed way about what we want...because there is nothing else to fill those thoughtful moments with. He tells me what I need to hear because he truly feels it and vice versa. Had we been together this past year, perhaps (who knows) we may have taken all those feelings for granted and a part of both of us would have been less certain about the future than we are now. I think that's the really positive thing this process delivers to us all.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-20 17:59:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	It is very kind of zoomer to even continue messing with spreadsheets when he has been reunited with his SO. I have felt very awkward about even discussing the list at all, under the circumstances, but it is important that people know the list is sorted by NOA1 date, which may be 'received' for those privy to conversations with zoomer himself but is more likely 'notice' by the majority of people using VJ instructions when filling out the timeline. Therefore, the order of names on the list is incorrect given that many people have reveived NOA1's up to 70 days after filing. I'm going to risk irking people by repeating here that zoomer does indeed have the correct way of thinking regarding the 'received date' but unless this idea is upheld by VJ admin (which it is not and has been quite fairly explained in the site ideas forum) then NOA1 date means 'notice date' and not anything else.

Chris Unfortunatley the poor horse cannot rest in peace as long as you insist on telling people that zoomer sorts his list by NOA1 received date. That is impossible unless he contacts every person on both the CSC & VSC lists and asks them for their NOA1 received date. Something tells me that he has much better things to do with his time. He has no way of knowing what date members have entered as their NOA1 date. He simply uses the data that VJ has collected and sorts by whatever date happens to be in the field without any consideration as to whether that date is a received, notice, priority or online case status received date. Yes, some people are entering the NOA1 received date on their timeline but I am confident that just as many or more are entering the notice date because that is the date that VJ is instructing members to use. Precisely and hence my mistake in thinking there was a June filer approved. The sent date is the only consistent date on the VJ timelines prior to NOA2.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-07 19:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	My apologies, I made a mistake when posting the average approvals for October. I should clarify that none of the October NOA2 recipients filed in June. I made the mistake because I was viewing a page that filtered NOA1 date rather than sent date. CSC are, as Bill said, working their way through May petitions right now.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-07 16:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	Congrats to Natalja and Danno! Actually, I've been calculating an average based on the VJ K1 approvals data at CSC. I've basically just used data since August since that's when the slowdown occured. Make of this what you will but remember it does take a while for people to update timelines ...a few who were approved in August have only just added the NOA2 date into their profile. So, In August there were 60 approvals over 23 dates making an average of 2.6 approvals per day. (These were April/May filers mostly) In September there were 49 approvals over 14 dates making an average of 3.5 approvals per day. (These were all May filers) In October there have been 13 approvals so far over 5 days, making an average of 2.6 approvals per day. (These were April/May/June filers) The total average VJ petitions approved per working day is 2.9, but this is set to increase if October continues to move the way it has so far.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-07 09:48:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	QUOTE (chris4gretchen @ Oct 7 2007, 06:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes that is exactly my point. when there are no delays the received and notice date are close and it doesnt matter. but when there are delays the notice date can be a month or more later. Using that as the date for NOA1 in VJ timeline puts people much further down the list than they should be. Vj has acknowledged that it should be the received date, but they arent going to change it in the instructions since it all comes out in the wash so to speak. They incorrect ones will have a faster NOA1 to NOA2 timline then the correct entered dates. For me what is the problem is that the people who go over 6 months from the received date might not know they are over it since they are using the Notice date as the important date. My petition clock is running from my received date, and i will be on the phone with them at day 181 from that. this is where most people get their information or answers in the DIY petition filing. And i think VJ should instruct them that the clock runs from the received date, not the notice date as it alludes to in the Timeline instructions. as far as the lists here, they are only projections and estimations since no one knows the true volume each month at the service centers to know our true number in waiting or statistical percentage of the filers nationwide. Chris Completely agree with you. Sorry about the confusion!	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-07 05:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?	Actually, I think your point is that people should be consistently using the 'received date' in the NOA1 date on the VJ timeline. This is so confusing because the VJ timeline is where people are obtaining data from, so if it's not clear to everyone that it has been agreed that the 'received date' is the one to input rather than the 'notice date' which is essentially meaningless. The data, therefore, is going to be incorrectly ordered if the NOA1 field is the one chosen to order petitions. Hence, some people are further down the list than they should be. I'm not trying to be difficult here. These receipting delays have caused this problem. I can't imagine it was an issue at all when the received date was basically the same as the NOA1 date.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-06 19:44:00

Chris The list goes by the 'notice date' and not the 'received date'. I really think there should be a box on the VJ timeline to input the 'received date' when people get their NOA1's as this is the date that USCIS are supposed to roughly order the petitions by. Because of the receipting issues recently many people are much earlier filers than they appear to be if the data is in order of NOA1 'notice date'. Still, the list bszoom created gives an indication of the numbers involved and if this is 10% roughly of total filers then it gives us all an indication of what timeframe we might be looking at for approval. I hate to be critical when I haven't done any spreadsheeting myself I'm really grateful for the efforts of all those providing data for us to compare the VJ timeline goes by notice date. In my statement, "he" refers to Bszoom42 who goes by the recieved date. that is what i was refering to since the original poster was asking about Bszooms list. Not the VJ timeline. Bszoom correctly stated how the service centers use the recieved date in these posts here, first post and here second post i orginially thought using the notice date was correct but he convinced me otherwise. once i really read my I 797Cit clearly says "Receipt notice- this notice confirms that USCIS received your application or petition ("this case") as shown above. if you do not receive an initial decision or update from us within our current processing time, check our website or call" clearly they mean the received date listed on the notice, not the notice date. VJ happens to not use this. i think this has been hashed and rehashed. i guess you decide what list you want ot go off of and do that one. for me its bszooms, not VJ going off the notice date, or the July filers that also now uses it. For me i am consistant. i use my received date on any list since that to me is the correct date to use. Chris I wasn't arguing what VJ use although I was making a point about how much confusion the VJ timeline causes in terms of which date to input. A point which is clearly illustrated by all the hashing and rehashing going on. What I was saying is that regardless of whether bszoom uses the received date or not (and I agree with his argument about which date is important on the NOA1), the lists posted on this thread are in order of notice date. All of which means that some July filers are down the bottom of the list with September and October filers. Which, in terms of USCIS processing is incorrect. So if you are going off this list then it is inconsistent by the rule of thumb you have stated. A rule of thumb I agree with by the way.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-06 19:30:00

I tried to edit but was too late. On second thought it is not exactly "clear" as to what date to use for the NOA1 on the timeline. At one place it mentions "receipt" but then there is also a link to a special instruction where it does make it very clear that they want the notice date. That is further evidence that NOA1 dates are being entered inconsistently and should not be used for comparison or to track progress. VJ themselves ignore NOA1 dates when they make the adjudication date projections because their algorthm utilizes the sent date. I'm in complete agreement with you. There is a lot of confusion regarding dates. The important date IS the 'received date' and the sent date will be much closer to that than the 'notice date' has been recently.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-10-06 11:27:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-129F June Filers	I just wanted to congratulate all the June filers who have been approved and give my best wishes for a speedy approval to those still waiting. It's good to see that VSC are stamping out some approvals at last too. Best wishes to all	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-11-03 05:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2010 Filers - California Service Center	Good god! The people on this thread have been chatting and working through things together for some time, and I think the familiar tone of Sundrop's post is lost on you. She's been an amazing good sport and an incredible help to us, and her posting her exasperated thoughts about transit options is about as far away from "spitting venom" as it could be. This was really inappropriate. So, when someone unfamiliar to this thread drops by and offers their advice and experience on flying a cat out from the UK to the US, advice which may offer an unexplored angle and save the OP some money, it's appropriate to respond with sarcasm and derision? It's one thing being exasperated with your options but entirely another thing to be exasperated with someone who is trying to help by giving their time and advice freely on a public message board. It's also very much up to the OP to set the right kind of tone if one doesn't want to feel misunderstood. Having experienced unfortunate and upsetting experiences in life doesn't excuse anyone from deriding others with a superior tone or just being plain rude.	bakofoil	Female	England	2010-04-24 22:36:00
Middle East and North Africa	Was wondering who else is waiting since 2006- we should keep in touch	QUOTE (Ruthanne @ Oct 1 2007, 12:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you! It is very hard to realize your coming up on 2 years of waiting with nothing else to do but wait. Puts a real strain on a relationship. Talk about a test of your love jeesh! Yes, the process really tests relationships. I can't imagine anyone doubting the validity of yours though. It's ridiculous making people wait that length of time.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-09-30 18:58:00
Middle East and North Africa	Was wondering who else is waiting since 2006- we should keep in touch	QUOTE (Ruthanne @ Oct 1 2007, 12:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are waiting for name checks to come back so say the goveners. Cant call for 6 months from the last inquiry. We shouldnt have to wait all this time. Its not fair when others can get by with a 3 month wait. Nobody can do anything to help though. They just can make an inquiry on your behalf. We have been thinking about forgetting the visa fiancee and just getting married. He is worried this will never go through. Cant say I blame him. This isnt easy I'm sorry to hear about your wait. This process does seem incredibly unfair at times and I do understand your comments about people being impatient when they're only 3 months into the process. I'm afraid we all want the same thing and it's easy to forget sometimes that there are people worse off than you. I hope you don't have to wait too much longer.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-09-30 18:50:00
Middle East and North Africa	Attention Fiance fraud	QUOTE (MM_MS @ Sep 18 2007, 01:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dear WK - You did it! You got "it." You got him. And you left. You've taken care of your kids and yourself. I hope your back is straight when you walk out the door each day, and you look people right in the eye. You've shown both strength and depth. Thank you for sharing this story with us! Someone you don't know will read this post one day, and be helped by what you've shared. God bless - MM Yep, you're absolutely right. I can't imagine the hell this woman has been put through these past months. Her post was unselfish and courageous. Someone, one day will benefit. It's a shame the man in question learned nothing from being in her company.	bakofoil	Female	England	2007-09-17 19:27:00

Call them using the RFE trick and ask them. Worked for me when I needed to find out. Please let us know how you get on.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August and September Filers - NOA2 to NVC	It's not on their system yet. I am so upset with CSC. Two whole months to send out an NOA1 and cash our check. Over six months for approval and now they are sitting on a bunch of petitions before forwarding them to NVC. Sorry for the whine but I'm just so frustrated with this whole deal. *throws a tantrum*	bakofoil	Female	England	2008-02-11 21:23:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August and September Filers - NOA2 to NVC	Ok thanks I'll keep trying to get an operator.	bakofoil	Female	England	2008-02-11 21:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August and September Filers - NOA2 to NVC	Does the automated system/input of CIS number just work for immigrant visas? Anyone know?	bakofoil	Female	England	2008-02-11 20:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August and September Filers - NOA2 to NVC	I can't get through to NVC today - the line has been engaged most of the day. Before anyone jumps down my throat about calling them I do need to register a change of address with them. I don't want Packet 3 getting lost!	bakofoil	Female	England	2008-02-11 20:02:00
