you have to have patience with immigration. Everything takes time. We waited 9 month to be together with K-1

They don't process cases 100% in order. You just have to wait and give it time. Once the processing times are update - don't stress. It says that they are processing cases with the date of x and after. Yours just might not be the first processed, but then again, no ones is.

Make sure you check the new website!  ❤️

I know it seems unfair that they don't process cases exactly in order. I'm not sure why but maybe it has to do with the length of background check. I have no idea. 

 

I will say its helpful to join this thread:

 

additionally there was someone on there with an noa1 of January 4th that didn't see on the new website or the old an approval but when he called the uscis they told him it was approved. Some people are wondering if possibly the sites are not updating correctly? Also, I wouldn't start getting stressed unless you are well before the cases they post in processing times. Today they are on December 19th.

Nope, you haven't been skipped. They don't process applications in chronological order.

be patient. there is no rhyme or reason and they do not go in exact order.

[angelou 43]

It is taking so long this time tho... we will hit the & month of waiting soon...

 

I can't do anything but just to wait.. it seems like it will take more than that... But I even more feel bad for those Dec that are still waiting..

I noticed that they usually start processing like mid weeks of a month and go later with first week.. just like what happened In Novemeber

I saw that too! someone called and found out their approval over the phone... we'll wait until next week We'll hit the 7 months of waiting on Aug 9.. Just feeling a bit frustrated cos people from my group who submitted after us already  got approved.. It's like they are starting mid weeks then go later with the first week

I’m Jan 4th:((same .no updates for NOA2.

If petitions were processed in chronological order, they would likely still be processing January 2017 as there are cases that simply just take a long time. It sucks that some people are "skipped" but remember that every case is different, and that if the system did not work this way you would most likely not be waiting less, but more.

 

We have one person who is a September 2017 filer who is still waiting. I believe there are also people from June 2017 on here still waiting. Hang in there.
