Thanks for saying. I am honestly downplaying. You called it correctly. I feel amazing about it but I just feel for others.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

We're March 21. I've been lurking on this site for a few months now and was very excited to see yours come through! It just means our day is right around the corner, which is so exciting because a month ago we were bracing ourselves for the worst. My fiance was totally against we looking on a website in the beginning but now everyday he asks me about the latest news!

You must be completely over the moon!

So are they only transferring April and newer apps from TSC? Sorry was trying to follow everyones comments, seems like that, everyones going a little crazy on posts. Hopefully they could just start approving all of them, would be nice anyways.

With a lot of TSC topics forming and the march section with some CSC providing false hope for us TSC filers i figure lets make one.

That way we can keep a trend and keep it clean.

Right now last update was 28th. So i could even be considered a April filer. Its frustrating for my fiancee and I. She is taking the whole wait very hard. Normally I would be visiting her around this time so its depressing for her.

Just wondering which countries are low fraud vs high, and does it matter where you live vs which country your from? My Fiance is from India, but works in Saudi...just wondering. Do they process all apps by country ? Or just certain ones. Thanks ;)

Couldn't agree with you more! I (naively) thought that being from the UK might have some sort of positive influence - low fraud, financially secure etc etc but we hit our 5 month mark today.

Keep smiling everyone, we will get there and, as my dad says - nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

March is starting to be churned right now at TSC. I just got notifications last night of NOA2. So hopefully this brings hope to the Feb filers still awaiting approval & March filers who are looking for progress.

Congrats!! My NOA1 date is one day before yours. This gives me so much hope. :)

I have made a couple observsations and I was wondering if anyone knew enough to confirm or deny-

The first is after reading through the February TSC board, I started trolling Case Statuses in some down time at work. It seems that the K1 Visas are grouped together in clusters. It also seems that the "Change in Alien Registation Number" dates are clustered, and that dates seem to coordinate with the 1000's. For example SRC149019xxxx's have change in Alien registation number dates 3/24-3/25 versus the SRC149016xxx's seem to be 2/27-3/6. (Which is the group that seems to be getting processed at the moment as about half are approved or RFE's.) I may be reading too much into things here but it does have an estimate of where the processing is.

It also seems the applications from Australia, Canada, and Western Europe go through the quickest. Any truth to this or am I just being selfishly optimistic?

Because they're what's known as low risk countries I guess, With low fraud rates. Thankfully being from England could work in my favour for once lol x

All i hope for is a quick process. If october can be the goal then even better. Although I am a bit worried about failing my studies as I suck at exams for important things. All i have to do is rewrite my paper and defend it. I hope they will give me the benefit of the doubt so I can move away with a degree.

I know exactly how you feel! I was fine in the beginning but now that it's getting close this whole thing is messing with my concentration. I'm fine when I'm busy but when I have to try to concentrate it doesn't go so well.

He encouraged me to run the NY marathon on November 2nd so that's been the goal. Still seems a bit "pie in the sky" but we're optimistic!

LOL. Well in a way it's because of the military. You see, my mom (German) & dad (stationed in Germany while serving in the US Army in the 70's & early 80's) met in Germany while he was there. As a result, I have German family there, who I was visiting in Oct 2013 when I met Bettina. So even though I'm not in the military, it does have a tie in.
