I-129F May 2017 Filers

[MarkbK1 71]

Does anybody know how these predicted times from this page calculated are calculated?

http://www.visajourney.com/content/times/

It shows there that the csc is processing noa1 with dates of 05/21/17

However everywhere else it is pointing to May 12th approximately. The list most recent approved cases is as well around May 12th. Where does this May 21st come from?

The truth is no one really knows and that small a difference in days doesn't matter. I don't mean to be short, it's just that estimates are based on what scant information we have access to + blind conjecture. They're certainly well into may though

Ok . I am somewhay confused as it says tjat this is based on VJ member data. Right at the bottom.

I don't wanna delve into the numbers too much but it comes down to A) VJ members are only a small fraction of the total populace and B) there is a not insignificant delay between some/a lot of applications are actually approved and when the system is updated or people notified. Therefore there's a certain window of uncertainty, like +/- 1.5 weeks, making a 9 day difference unremarkable

I've long suspected two things about this: 1.) there is usually a delay between when a case is approved and when notification is sent, and I would imagine it tries to take that into account. And 2.) a lot more members might just fly in, read a few posts, and put in their initial filing info and then don't look back until they get their NOA2 and then it's "Oh yeah, I guess I should put that in on that forum", if anything at all. 

As with most forums, the number of lurkers and "hardly-ever" participants tends to outnumber us active users.

No need to be rude. Fair question asked in a polite way. Too bad that such an "active" poster has such an attitude, especially considering that in all that writing no answer was given. If you dont know thats ok.

No need to feel personally offended. 

On another note as there have been no happenings at all since the noa1, what should have been written to ne an"active user"?

No answer really needed, just a rhetorical question.

Have a nice friendly day.

you can get the spinach app (most popular) from Itunes store or Android play...however, I have 3 apps apps and find them all useless...the USCIS does not update so the app shows 2 or 3 approvals a day when we see Shoegum's scan show 50 some days. The app does not really work well for much. You can track a number...but if they don't update...nothing happens....like with Murph.

Can u believe as of right now i still have not gotten anything on app, text, website or even email yet but got hard copy.

yup and it has happened to others.

I'd pick hard copy over email, app or text notice though.

You have paper document proof in you hand..hehe

So my case was 'ready' Oct-24 and I sent it that day and they replied quickly that they didn't receive my case yet. On Oct-25 I re-sent Packet 3 and got an email back not to schedule my interview and wait for further instructions. On Oct-27 my status was updated again on CEAC tracker and I re-sent my Packet 3..waiting to hear back...

 

I'm really hoping to schedule my interview tomorrow… if not I'll keep re-sending Packet 3!!

what is packet 3? i thought after noa2 we just enter the ds-160 online, then schedule medical, then interview, and we're good?

I think it depends on where they are from.
