I probably didn't even tell you all here. Sorry, guys

I get tired of myself being an annoying know-it-all party pooper

I appreciate all of your input. The connotation of an April filer receiving their NOA2 remains the same for one as it does for two. It's still in the realm of being an anomaly but remains a signal that we're almost there. While I won't be disappointed if it takes a bit more time for a full April onslaught of touches I can still have that glimmer of hope that my luck with getting my NOA2 is better than my luck at the baggage carousel at the airport. Why is my bag always one of the last to come out???

Wanted to state for those who don't believe they are touching April cases. We filed an expedite request and they couldn't approve it because they were already doing our background checks. (We finally got someone at uscis to explain what the response meant.) we hope to hear in the next week or two either way.

Well, I wouldn't say we don't believe it, just pointing out is not the usual based on how things are going for March filers right now.

I do think they are approaching end of March received cases (I reckon that's your case based on NOA1 date in your timeline?), and that explanation about the background checks can also be a good reason why things go slowly or a different paces some times, thanks for the tip

 

Hope you get good news soon!

Tomorrow is the start of a new week, and that means we all are one week or one day closer to being with our loved ones.  Being an end of April filer, ANY news of an April NOA2 just gives me a renewed sense of hope that this journey will end in the arms of my love.  Keep the faith everyone, we are slowly but surely getting there.

That's good news! We are moving now, finally.

April 24th. Same day mine was received. June 15th Approval date. It's possible that it's an expedite but there are 2 touches in that group. 

I didn't even know you could run a check like this! I would love to check for us!

OMG they received ours on the 24th as well! Crazy how some are getting approved already!

On iOS the app is Case Tracker. It allows you to search up to 500 cases. It goes sequentially and it includes every type of USCIS application but it has a filter to isolate just the I-129F applications within that group.

Thank you i've just downloaded the app. It's so exciting to think we could get our NOA2 soon!

For us poor Android folk, there is USCIS Case app that seems to do a similar search / track function.  Seems to work alright for me as I can search up to 80 cases.  It does send a warning not to exceed 200 queries a day as USCIS will block your IP address.  Hope this helps.  I have no clue for those on windows based phones.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  It was really hot here in the Portland Oregon area this weekend.  I like everyone am really missing my love and can't wait to be with her again.  I look forward to the time that we can be together.  Looking forward to more April filers getting their NOA2's.

Thanks.  We are all struggling with the process.  I have seen a few posts on the struggles and completely understand it.  I am hoping all of us get our process moving along.

Hi guys congratulations to all the April approvals  🎉 Very happy for u guys (a bit jealous too🙈) 

 

I am an April 17th NOA1 and I need suggestions... I kinda miss calculated or hoped for the best and booked tickets to go meet my Fiancé and I leave on the 13th of July... I thought I would have my NOA2 by thn but following all the filers it looks like I won't have it any soon... I am with my fiancé till the end of August... hoped to go to the interview with him and he was planning on flying back with me...  He is still positive that we will be approved by thn but I can't just sit and wait anymore it's been 71 days and it just says case received.... I don't know what to do 😔
