I think they tend to do approvals in bulk. I remember back in March I was obsessing over getting ours and really mad that they were only doing mid december's. It was like a month of inactivity then in a 2 week span they approved all of late december and all of january, then another few weeks of inactivity, then another bulk approval. You could be in the next batch.

i was one of them, but missed the bus

ahh don't worry citizen... ur bus is just around the corner.

I have a feeling that next Monday we will have a bunch of Approvals ... Let's just hope we will be in that bus when it happens.

Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

Besnik, I've got an almost exact timeline as yours in the last few touches.

Crossing my fingers too!

Vikasp yep your timeline seems to be the same in the last few touches. I bet we are in the same hands (meaning the same person is working on our files). I hope he/she is fast at his/her job!!

I-130....touched again!!!!

If this signifies approval, I hope that my I-129F will be approved too. I was not able to send the I-130 of my child along with mine. I am planning of submitting it during AOS.

my I-130 hasn't been touched in the longest time.

Don't worry. It will be touched in due time.

I just realized now, that I could get an RFE too. Oh gosh, I am just scared. But anyway, my husband is going to his congressman's office on Friday if no NOA2 is issued this week.

Why not call USCIS to inquire about your case. I mean, talking to a live person. Some of the February filer did the same, and they learned that they were actually approved even if the web-based system says, their cases were "received and pending".

you are almost there island_princess

Looks like we're in a race!

A very depressing race!!

My estimated I-129F adjudication time is already June 23...from June 3!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine went from june 12th to june 30th........ ahhhhhhhhhhhh

My I-129 is June 23 and my I-130 is June 5.

Is there a possibility that my I-130 will be adjudicate first before my I-129F? If so, what must I do? I don't want to pursue K-3 for this will leave my child in my native country (a big no no).

My I-129F is set for July 5th

Mines just changed to AUGUST 1st!!! WTF!!!! NO WAAAAY!!!! please please no!!!!

The projected NOA2 for our I-130 is still 17 May (tomorrow) but the projects NOA2 for our I-129F has gone out to June 12. On May 1st, the projects NOA2 for the I-129F was May 30. So, in 16 days, the NOA2 projection has gotten 3 days closer to the present moment.

Let's see: each calendar corresponds to about 0.2 days progress toward I-129F NOA2. Right now, our projected NOA2 is 27 days from now. So, at the current rate of progress, we would get our NOA2 in about 135 days. I predict things will get better at CSC.

Maybe we'll end up doing the CR-1 after all! We will see -- and right now we are all blind.

My I-129F NOA1 is about 7-10 days after yours. And my estimated I-129F adjudication time moved from June 19th to July 7th. That sucks!!!

Average # of days for I129F (k3) approval at VSC is 64 days (for all time)
For CSC it's 87.

64 days for me is in the week of May 28.

-edit-
# of days between NOA1 and NOA2

This is depressing news!

i don't think the timeline dates really project the right estimate.. because so many people just never come back and fill in their timeline after their approvals.

Yeah, I'm unsure how the site arrives at July 5th for me. Do others know?

seems to be another dull week

is there any apporoval for march filers

Some stats for VSC K3s using timeline search (all "days" since NOA1):

10 out of 12 Oct/Nov 06 filers approved (avg: 54 days)
8 out of 9 Dec 06 filers approved (avg: 44 days)
11 out of 12 Jan filers approved (avg: 57 days)
10 out of 14 Feb filers approved (avg: 47 days)
0 out of 15 March filers approved (avg wait: 60 days; min 48; max 70)

March VSCers should see approvals by end of May, unless something is really wrong
(A motivated soul can do this for CSC)

-edit-
I predict mine will be approved in the last week of May.

any csc approval

there was one march approval from CSC... it came after 36 days. it was the individual with the log in name-ullumanali.

his approval gave me lot of hope.. but alas his goodluck did not rub on me.

My visa approval date in now moved to June >.< .... two steps forward, two steps back!

12 out of 14 Nov filers approved (avg: 86 days)
13 out of 17 Dec filers approved (avg: 85 days)
14 out of 20 Jan filers approved (avg: 82 days)
4 out of 7 Feb filers approved (avg: 73 days)
1 out of 16 March filers approved (avg: 28 days, though with only 1 approval, that's not much of an 'average')

avg= Average days between 1st NOA and 2nd NOA

Someone touched my I-129F today. Doesn't mean much ... but who knows. My timeline predictor says my I-130 might be approved tomorrow, while its prediction for the I-129F approval moved out again to June 14.

I called USCIS last night (Phil time), and the agent said, it will normally take 180 days from NOA1 to NOA2. Well, it ruined my night.

IslandPrincess

Don't take that comment too seriously. Look at the VJ timelines for I-129F in both the K1 and K3 categories. It is more like 100 days. There seems to be a slowdown on the K3 side right now, and it is hard to know what to make of it.

Both of my petitions were touched today -- means very little, but it is kinda nice.

both of mine got touch today
woohooo


god dang it makes me so happy!

well lets keeps the fingers crossed that its not for any bad reasons.

let the approval come dang it!

well i am a bit confused about estimated processing times. Novotul and i have almost identical timelines but his estimated processing time for i-130 says may 17th mine says june 9th. haha

Why don't I get any touches? God, please make it happen

i am sure you are next line brother

is it just me.. or do u guys also feel like ur running out of patience also?. its just so hard to sit around and be at the mercy of uscis.

I am in the same boat. No touches neither for I 130 nor for I 129 F. I am so embarrassed

Congratulations! I think your approval adjusted my approval date calculus because its back in May again.

Mine says June 30 now, down from July 5. However, my I-130 got pushed to Nov 16

my i-130 due date is tomorrow (until tomorrow, anyway!)

mine are k-3 for june 30th, and I-130 for june 28th

Congratulations Raj, There is life at CSC after all...lets hope they keep the approvals coming.

Congratulations !!.. Good to know CSC working on March approvals.. I hope I will be in this or next bunch of approvals
Good Luck with rest of the process.
