Thanks I didn't know you could track like that on the app. Out of the 200 close to mine almost all have been transferred except a few including mine that remains at Vermont! 

@Wors - based on how things go now, we are the lucky ones to not get transferred.  They are working on all the ones not transferred now.  I am guessing no later than the end of May

@fredricksburg - Your best bet is possibly to get additional affidavits from your friends and families.  If you send it in, you could expect to hear back within 2-3 weeks.

 

One thing, if it is any consolation, is it is very difficult to just "deny" the petition.  The laws do not allow outright denial.  They must first issue you a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) first and you would be allowed to rebuke any negative factors, then that can go to the appeal process, and still go to the immigration judge.  That could take a long time before you can actually be "denied," if USCIS actually wins the case against you.

 

I would continue my life as usual and put forth any additional things you can find and show them that your marriage was entered in good faith.

Approved!

 

File date: 3/19/2018

Reuse Biometrics: 5/7/2018

Approved: 4/19/2019

 

California Service Center. No transfers, No RFE, No interview. 

 

I got my approval letter last Friday but just noticed that for some reason the card made it all the way to my local distribution center then got sent back for wrong address. Anxiously waiting for USPS call center to open to find out what the hell is going on.

HI All  March fillers. We were approved!!!!!!

My husband just picked up the card from the mail this morning. We're sooo shocked since I just received a " no action on your case" email this morning.

 

VSC filler, biometrics , no interview. I updated the spreadsheet and our timeline.

 

I am stunned and ecstatic. We've been watching all the timelines like a hawk and was pretty sure we had another 2 months at least since VSC has been going so slow compared to CSC.

We just want to thank everyone on this site. I found visa journey during my research about K-1 visa. I studied all the guides, the forums and exchanges.

 

We have a 10 year age difference, with me, the woman being older. Our journey K-1 thru ROC took a little under 4 years, no interviews except at the embassy at K-1 stage and 1 RFE because they wouldn't reuse the medical exam. Super smooth!!! We already filed N-400 for citizenship online and have a expected approval date of Nov 2019.

 

I attribute it all to everyone on this site who volunteer their experience so that the people coming behind/after them will have guidance on how to move thru this process, follow the rules and not make errors that might make a generally unpleasant experience even longer.

 

Feel free to ask any questions. I hope I can be as helpful to someone as you have all been to us ❤️

Oh my you guys!!! I just randomly checked the "old" website and it says I was approved 2 days ago!! No emails, nothing, and the "new" website still shows case received. I could not believe it. 

 

We did have an interview for my AOS, I guess that interview helped?? 

 

Good luck to all of you and thank you so much for all your advice and encouragements throughout this whole process.
