I had to renew my passport... Said it would take 4-6 weeks... I got it back with in 2 weeks...  Wish the other gov't offices would pick up speed like that... 😔

No doubt. My daughter went into the passport office to get her very first "adult" passport on May 4 and on May 11 she received via courier. I was amazed!

I received my letter of receipt in the mail yesterday.  They have the submitted date of Dec. 29th, the day the application was mailed.

So I'm either one of the last December filers or one the first January filers.

same here, im following both December and January forum now.  when i got the NOA1 text on January 4. I was following September and October forum and i noticed some people in October were getting approved before some September applicants. so i think they overlap a bit.

Another under-whelming week... November seems to be going torturously slow. I still have hope we might get ours in July. But who knows at this point if they'll pull another June with us.

I think we will start seeing our first January stragglers approved mid to late  June. I know that seems crazy since they have not touched December but my estimate date is July 4th and I see other timelines approved 2 weeks earlier than their estimate for November. Then again November has been a bizaare month.

I just took my fiance to the airport. He's leaving back to the US today. We have been moving some of my stuff there. I left my jackets and winter wear and my boots at his house on my last visit to the US and he's taking my books with him. He's moving to a new place soon before I move in with him. So taking logistical matters into account is very reasonable right now instead of worrying when we will get our NOA2. I'm also moving with my two cats so making sure we have enough cat food and fresh litter sand should be part of our moving plan too, not to mention working with a pet mover here. I have moved some of my money to his bank account and will transfer more before I move there and create my own bank account.

 

We won't see each other again until my interview. That's a good break before we're stuck together and get bored with each other in an institution called marriage haha😁

Do most ppl go to their fiance's interview? Or is it just that y'all want to be there? We had not planned on that, esp as we don't know when it will be & likely to be before flight prices come down from their summer height.

I’m a late Dec filer and I honestly think you wouldn’t see a January approval next month. I’d be shocked if it happened. Mid July-mid August is when I think January filers will see their approvals. Now in saying that I’m predicting I’ll fall into your approval dates as our NOA1 was 29/12/17, so not far ahead of early January filers. 

 

All we can do at this point is be positive. I’m not rocking my socks even though we are the next processing month. All I know is I am on Day 144 and can enquire about our case from the 27th July.

 

I think December will be a good opportunity to see if the old system will phase out completely and see if there is full moval to the new system which will affect daily scans as this data can’t be collated. I’m with you guys even though we are a late December filer. I’m feeling my approval hopefully will be 12-20th July even though VJ states June 30-July 6 ❤️
