But isn’t it likely that there is some obvious problem with this case? I mean it just seems to me that the straightforward ones don’t take that long for them to look over and then there are the ones that are likely more complicated or unclear or more info needed or the RFE was not received or who knows what else. To me it’s just crazy that you send in this application just to have it sit 6+ months before anyone even looks at it. That’s insane!! Just such a crazy process all around.

Who knows. But it's back ground checks if I had to guess. That seems to take the longest. Previous marriages, criminal records, common surname. All can be factors. I'd imagine theres other things also

If your supporting documents, 1040, W-2, Employment letter substantiates that you meet or exceed the poverty guidelines for your household size then there is nothing else that is needed. Why do when do will do?

Thank you both! Glad I asked.

There are two reasons that people are running around to get their case number prior to receiving the letter. First, they want to know if they have had their case number approved because that is a "security blanket" for them that the process is moving forward. It drives most when they call and it isn't assigned. It's like being in a crowd of people and you follow the person in front of you, who is following the person in front of them, because they perceive that person knows where they are going.  The higher your expectations the farther you fall.

 

Second is that some Embassy's will allow you to schedule your interview and complete your medical just with having the number. And, herein lies the problem. If your Embassy doesn't allow you to start the process without the letter or the case hasn't arrived and set to "ready" at the Embassy then there is no need to be on the phone calling NVC. So you have a case number, what good is it. You can't use it till the Embassy says you can and you would have received in either a email or a paper copy from the postman by the time your record arrived at the Embassy.  I just don't understand the logic in that but people can't get passed it so they call every day.

 

Here is some information on Poland and the process there. Look it over and see what your next steps are.

A lot of February 8 and 9 NOA1s on Visa journey are yet to get their NOA2. I hope they stop skipping a lot of us and get approved this week.

 

I'm struggling to stay calm. My phone's gallery is filled up with screenshots on the next line of action after receiving the NOA2.

 

*fingers crossed*

I don't think so.  They definitely started with the beginning of Feb.  Check out Igor's list for reference.

This is what i have observed that happened to previous months too. There are still lots of first week to 2nd week of the month that are still waiting. Including me at 218days.

This is exactly what im talking about for some reason initial week gets slow approvals. My fiance was sad today about still no movement. I feel that the hardtime is gone. Almost 6 months we waited now the wait ahead of us is nothing. I check just once a day uscis website. Eventually we all will be together with our love. If not in oct then nov or dec. What really bummed me was why first week suffer always. Good luck to you girl hope you get approved coming week.

Yes there were few. USCIS approves few petitions per date. But this is only according to VJ’s data. But who knows? 🤷‍♀️ 

 In hindsight, I guess we should just extend our expectations to 250ish day, this will help us to become more calmer and less stressful in this long and winding journey.
