Turns out it was expedited.  Yes, the expedited case took 178 days!

178 days is expedited! That’s terrible.

That is certainly a sad indication of what is to come.

I would imagine the request to expedite was done pretty recently, not at the onset of the NOA1

Apparently we are within “normal processing time” until they change the date on website. The website states that as of October 31st they are processing applications from June 1st. When we call that’s what they tell us. You can call anytime though. Sometimes you get lucky and find someone helpful and sometimes you don’t   . We are all waiting here, keeping each other company and cheering each other up. We share what we are told and continue to wait. It’s shame that we are going trough this and as unfair as it is for us late June filers, (183 days today for me) there are many people from May and early June who have not heard anything yet. 

So we wait 😪😪😪😪

Thanks for your response! I was going by the "Current Processing Times" based on Visajourney website and not by the USCIS page which indicates the data as you said. It mentions "Field Office Processing Dates for California Service Center as of: October 31, 2017", and for K1 "June 1, 2017" and it also says that the page was last updated "December 26, 2017". Guess I have to wait...

not necessarily? Trying to be the positive lol, even though it's getting harder, but we don't know when they filed the request to expedite, it was probably not done all the way back in July (I'd hope!)

That's based off people filling out their timelines, and unfortunately doesn't mean squat USCIS. It updates daily, but it's also a 'best guess' thing because some people don't input their info, and others, when they join, will put in an NOA2 date, based on their estimated timeline on the website I think, instead of waiting for the NOA2, which is why sometimes you'll see someone with an NOA2 in the future, at the top of the 'recently approved' Igor's list...Until the USCIS site that's always 2 months or so behind, says that as of whenever, they were at that point working on cases that fall after yours, you're within normal processing times. Settle in, grab some popcorn, an adult libation of your choice, and join us in the waiting game, friend

Sadly that seems to be our only choice for now.

Yes, I realize that now but for some reason I thought that they got that data from USCIS. Thanks.

wait what did I miss? you had an RFE??? 

Yup. Although it hasn't been updated online, but two different Tier 2s have now stated that we were marked as an RFE on 19th, and a letter was sent in the mail on 22nd.  Others have recieved mail that was posted from USCIS on 22nd, and yet ours still hasn't arrived so I have no idea yet what the RFE is for.

Will let you know when I know!

That is true.  Either way, their 178 is much better than the June 6ers 205!  A month quicker is an expedite in my eyes.

Just waiting here all like...

I see a lot of people here who are very impatient for updates. We have to remember that they are understaffed and overworked there so it's completely normal for them to be behind right now. They have a ton of work on their and we have to be understanding and patient. It's not like they're having parties and not doing actual work. Everyone will get a response in due time. We must be patient throughout this process. The more you focus everyday on seeing if there is a response, the longer it will feel. Try to relax a bit and take your mind off of it for a while and wait to receive your answer in the mail. Otherwise, you're only going to bring on more stress for yourself.
