Hey everyone!  I got my text at 7:30 PST today.  We are APPROVED!!!   Wow can't believe the day has come.   

 

Wasn't paying attention to my phone until I was getting ready to turn in.  Yup. Looks like we are making more progress!  But why haven't some of you before me gotten some notice yet?  Here's to more approvals tomorrow!  Good Luck!

Here is some information for whatever it's worth. According to the app my case was approved on January 24. I never received a text or email for the NOA2 and would not have known but for daily checking the app.

They mailed my hard copy the next day on the 25th and I received it today on the 30th. So 6 days from approved until hard copy in hand.

Still hoping for all of you waiting for NOA2...I will give updates through NVC so others have some time estimates as they go forward. After that it is pretty embassy specific I think.

 

good luck to everyone this week!

Same with me but I got my email maybe 4 to 5 days later.

we got approved at the same day! it is really nice that we're getting more movement. but i do hope that they work on the remaining cases from earlier dates before moving forward because it would be kind of unfair to those who've waited for so long.

 

Congratulations and let's all make sure we update our timeline and signature so that other people can benefit from it

 

Let's all stay positive, even when sometimes it's hard to do it.

Yay!  Congrats!  I'm with you Bobby.  Feels weird when you know others have been waiting longer.  It does seem to have picked up significantly so here's to catching up!

Cheers

wow, congs to everyone that got approved, may the road ahead be fast and smooth. Thank u Geowrian, am so glad u are in Dec with me, so u are going nowhere anytime soon hahaha, though I really also wish u a fast approval dont get me wrong. Now about Politics, pleaseeeeeeeee, i beg we just come here and encourage each other as we have done so far. give us political news that is directly and proved to be connected to our K-1, am so tired of politics on every forum. and also dont forget not everyone here shares the same political views, so if we bring politics here that is not directly related to our K-1 and that can shade some light to whatever is going on at CSC, we are gonna spoil this wonderful forum.

*Keep in mind I'm only counting WACs from WAC1790048000 onward. Records untouched prior to this are not included.*

Geowrian,

hi there, just a note.  Was wondering if 5000 was a max?  Or Can you do 10,000?  My number which got approved today is past 1790056000 and you are only going up to 53000 or so.  Which means you are not getting approvals done for November 4th and beyond.  Just wondering!  Don't mean to sound ungrateful I enjoy your updates!  Just seems they are working beyond the Oct 31 dates..

I think Geowrian (correct me if I am wrong) had originally (the first day or two) done 20,000, but due to IP ban problems and the amount of time it took to do a workaround for such a huge number of applications, has limited the search to 5,000 daily. I think as it is the search takes quite a while and not many folks have that much time in the day to sit around and crunch those numbers!!

Hello guys, I am searching everywhere the answer of my question but i find contradictory information all the time so maybe someone can help me here.

 

I have been approuve on 24th january, and to save money i have move back to my parents house until my leaving for USA (i am living in France). The question is, how i can change my adress because all the form who exist is about  people who live in America, i have made follow my mail but i am worried. I really wnat to chnage my adress but i really don't know how to do it, do i have to see it with the ambassade ? Do i have to do it before ? i am lost.

 

Thank you by advance for your help.

You are right, the limit is 5000 per search. So it took a lot of time to run enough searches of the whole database to compile 5000 k-1's from the huge numbers of other petitions. He mentioned that he's working on batching the next 5000 numbers but it is slow going.

 

I also noticed in getting familiar with this data today that there are about 100 duplicates in this batch, at least one of which was counted as an approval twice (on 1/3/17). At least we won't run out of fun while we are waiting!   Sorry, geowrian.. Regardless, your help is invaluable!

The 5000 number is because that's when the IP ban kicks in. I could do more, but I'd have to cycle IP addresses, combine files, wait another hour  to run, yada yada.

 

That said, my data is only for I-129Fs. It covers Oct. 31st to ~Dec. 7th. I don't scan them sequentially because I previously did that and extracted only the I-129Fs from that data set. The last WAC on my list of 5000 is 105181...way above 53000.
