Yes it's on your profile. If you look under my VJ username you should see "Timeline" under the Mexican flag. You can see information of what petitions and waivers a user has applied for and when they were approved. 

ok thank you so much !

last I've seen from people's timelines it has ranged anywhere from 8th-13th. Yours just might be taking a bit longer.

I'm worried about the evidence of marriage since my husband and I got married in February. We don't have any property or joint bank accounts together because I'm not sure how you do that with someone from a different country. However we met on an online game and the game company actually flew both of us out to test the game they wrote an article on us and wrote letters of support so I hope it is enough.

Always check the mail as well because I've talked to people who got the letter in the mail before it changes online!

Do you and your husband send/receive money transfers such as Western Union or Xoom?  That evidences financial commingling of assets without being in the same country.

No, but I'm 3/27.  Seems you're on deck as the trend is 4.75 - 5.25 months, give/take.

Print out the receipts. I presume they have his name as the sender.  The more he sends (or the higher the dollars) he sends, gives greater credence to marriage validity then affidavits from the 3 or 4 people you "want" telling USCIS the marriage is authentic.   I print everything out from money movements to stupid stuff like call logs and if I top off my wife's phone.  Taken as a whole, an officer sees a recurring pattern both of communication as well as financial commingling.  I'd gather it in case you are asked for more.

Nothing yet. They seem to be heavily into the first half of February, so I'm hoping just a few more weeks since my PD is March 3rd

 

Lots of people aren't getting updated online, so I'm checking my mail everyday!

Hi at the beginning I tried whit a tourist visa and was denied because I'm married to a US citizen.. they told me that I need it to apply for a K3 Visa but I'm just going to wait for the ir1/cr1

Yes, the chances of getting a tourist visa when you already have a pending IR1/CR1 are minimal. They will see you have a pending IV case and scrutinize you more because you've already expressed intent to move to the US. Worse, they can flag you for potential fraud in your IV case too if they feel you are trying to circumvent the system. 

 

So really, it is better to just wait.
