The 129-F package was delivered today! I am actually living in Shanghai (I've been here on work assignment until February), but I am encouraged by the unusually fast turnarounds that have been reported. Looking forward to good news.

Hiiiii!

I hope everyone is doing great..

My fiance and i just filed our petition yesterday i hope we will have luck of being transferred to California as well

Hey!!! Yaay congrats! Get ready for one crazy waiting ride ;-)

Just to clarify... all petitioners send their petitions to Texas Lockbox and only from there the petitions are either sent to CSC and VSC or stay in TSC. This is not the same as a transfer :)

I've noticed you put TSC as your filing location. In fact you do not yet have a filing location assigned before you receive your NOA1.

Good luck! :)

Well now I'm really getting anxious.

Last night that I checked the Case Tracker App, these were the new updates for the cases that got a sep 25 received date on their NOA1:

133 cases received

119 cases with NOA1

14 rejected

1 case with information adjustments

19 got RFE

35 Approved and got NOA2

64 cases waiting for a result (we are among these!!!)

Only yesterday 10 cases got approved and 12 got RFE, and there are still cases from sep 24 waiting for results.

OMG this is sooooooo nerve wrecking!!! :clock:

Sure! No problem.

It's called

USCIS Case Tracker & Searcher

By Stephen Aldous

It is for iOS

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/uscis-case-tracker-searcher/id921827126?mt=8

There is no option to search by date. I did the search considering 500 numbers and then randomly did a search by specific number to see the date of the receipt. That way I was able to locate what seems to be the last sep 24 case received and the first sep 28 case.

I know it sounds obsessive, but it has given me information that keeps me calm in this crazy process. :clock:

I was just wondering how people were able to search/ receive data on the processing of current k1 applications? (Member 'J&Y', I see you posted about this?).

Thanks so much :)

Hey Minkar,

Please see above posts from Jannina, we were searching using the app and then worked around the data. :)

10/8/2015 - NOA 1 Hard Copy

10/27/2015 - Approved!

My fiancé and I are very happy and hope everyone else receives their notice soon as well!

Now to open some champaign and celebrate with a 3 hour skype date! :joy:

Yay!!! This gives me hope that they are still approving things quickly. Our dates are pretty close. Maybe I'll get my NOA2 by the end of next week.
