After I'm done with the procedure I'm free to help if there's anything you'd like to know or how to handle.

Me too, 20 days and waiting. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't others with the same/ close date who got theirs.

Ugh! I'm sorry to hear that! And there's no way of you knowing it has arrived? Money cashed?

The CSC office will be open for 4 more hours, who knows you will get at least the email notification by end of day. It is only noon in California at the moment.

Good luck to you! :)

We are also August K1'ers. I priority mailed our K1 on 8/11/15 tracked and received in Texas 8/12/15, our N.O.A. 1 was issued on 8/17/15.

From what I've been reading, now more than ever is a good time to file. The California office seems to be really fast and efficient. The petitions that were filed earlier in the year seem to be stuck at various service centers. I'm happy our visa is caught up in the wave of "good timing" but I can't help but feel bad for some of the folks that have been waiting for months on end.

Unless USCIS announces a change very soon (unlikely), every petition is going to California.

Good luck to all of us! I know it's very early but we hope to get our NOA2 soon.

Got my NOA1 hardcopy yesterday! I'm happy to see how quickly things are moving along for everyone.

Do you think processing time has anything to do with the beneficiary's country?

No, not at all. I think we (August K1 filers) are just fortunate with the timing of it all. Some people who filed earlier this year have been waiting for a VERY long time

Ugh! Our package seems to be stuck in transit since yesterday at 5 AM EST... Or USPS is just horrible at updating their tracking timeline. Getting a bit nervous since it was supposed to arrive within 2 days. I have no experience with the American Postal Service so I have no idea what to expect. I just don't want it to get lost :(

On top of that we (read: I) decided to send it with signature confirmation to the P.O. O. Box which I now realize probably was stupid even though I've seen others make the same 'mistake' however their package still got to the USCIS. My husband to be is now frustrated and I'm worried I made a mistake.

(And yes I know it's "only" been one day without the tracker updating but I'm worried now due to choosing the signature confirmation)

Anybody else that sent their package using USPS to the P.O. Box? How long did it take for your package to arrive? And did you do the signature thing too... sigh
