So here's my experience after making a few calls today:

 

1. Called and ignored all prompts - got transferred to the Spanish speaking queue and got someone (who initially spoke in Spanish) who was able to tell me that my case was approved yesterday (8/6) and that the approval notice was printed today. (Note that this occurred without the representative transferring me at all.)

2. Called and entered the English queue - got someone who told me my case was still in a "received" state and pending, and the "normal processing times" spiel.

3. Called and entered the English queue - got someone who was willing to transfer me to Tier 2. Spoke to Tier 2 and was provided the same info that the Spanish speaking representative gave me (approved 8/6, approval notice just printed).

 

By the way, at the time of this writing... both the old and new site still show the case as "received", not "approved."

An Approval is an approval, however it comes, you got it!! Congrats.

Received approval notice this morning. Approved on August 6th.

Maybe they'll update it once your notice gets mailed? 

Let us know how it goes.

I called USCIS because I have an issue for tier 2.  The woman who transferred me was very nice and I was excited to hear the wait would only be 6 minutes.  They called me back only to find out the first operator had transferred me to tech support lmao, that’s why it was so quick

Yeah let's please not annoy USCIS. Only call if you're outside of processing times.

So.  Does USCIS only update their system  first thing in the morning, or has anyone seen random approvals during other times of the day?

Obviously I have as limited experience as anyone else on here, but it seems like lately the approval email/texts are coming in during the morning hours.  I got mine this morning at 5:19am (CDT).  My fiance found it posted just before that on the website about 4:00am (CDT).  For reference, I had checked the website last night before I went to bed at 9:04pm (CDT) and it was NOT updated yet.

Hi Group,

 

i know the wait is tough and hard for those of us who have not heard anything. Stay strong, pray and do what you can.

i wanted to provide an update: I called USCIS last Thursday to expedite my case because my fiance travels across the country for work and in the last couple of weeks, they have been terrorist activities, killings, bombings etc. The Tier 2 agent was very helpful and understanding, she submitted my request, of which they would sent me a letter and I would have to submit documentation of the reasons i am seeking for them to expedite my case. So i called today because i have been checking my informed delivery and i have not seen this letter. I happened to speak to a wonderful African American Lady today who was so helpful. She did inform me that the request to expedite was voided because if your case is scheduled to be decided within 45 days, there is no need to expedite. So for those considering putting in a request to expedite, there might be no need as your case will be decided soon.

She was also kind enough to let me know that my case is currently being reviewed by an officer and i should hear soon. She did give me the standard line of that it could take up to 45 days.

hope this helps others in my shoes as well, as we wait.

Today is day 208. I'm hoping this will be the week. Though I'm sure it'll be a RFE. No matter what happens we are seeing each other in October!! 😎😎💖

What do you believe you'll get an RFE for?

Give them a call I heard they do fax upon request. Please let us know what you find out.

My fiance called them at 8 am, they asked him all the case data and promised to call him back with information about RFE. After 2 hours they called him back and explained, that copy of his Divorce Certificate (he was previously married and divorced) missed the judge's signature. They  told that is only one thing that hold approval of our case.
