Oh my God!  I decided to check the old site just now.  Our case was just approved.  I haven't even bothered to check new site.  My fiancé is chief security for his church on weekends, but I am going to disturb him right now & give him the good news.  You guys are the first.  Thank you so very much for your encouragement.  It's been a heck of a journey for us.  God bless you as you continue to travel through this journey.  I will update my timeline as soon as fiancé knows.  Finally it happened.  I can't believe it 🤣🤣.  A great birthday present for me.  My birthday is tomorrow.   

It's not an RFE. They got approved just like us...weeee. Congrats to us and goodluck😊

Hey all - August 9 NOA1 here. Just got a text notification. No change on new site (still says received), but old site indicates an RFE. Bummer since we hired an attorney and I was METICULOUS about our submission. Hopefully it's something minor... 

 

Best of luck to all! I don't post a lot but I am on here constantly reading all your journeys and updates. It's been incredibly helpful having this community to lean on and guide us through this process.

We were also meticulous about our petition and boom today RFE. Very saddened by this but it is what it is.

 

I hope all goes well for you!! Fingers and Toes crossed for a speedy review!

To check your progress and status.

 

Old site (also the data source for all 'USCIS case tracker' apps): https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

New : https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ (you have to create an account and add your case # to it)

Neither is more reliable (and it's very possible you won't see anything on either, and will have to just wait for the physical mail). For a while it looked like they were phasing out the "old" site, but that trend seems to have reversed itself and there are still lots of cases that show up on only one (or much earlier on one than the other).

@GreenbaumWhat's next after our approval? Please give some pointers to what to do next 😊😊😊.

Oh my god we're approved. I just checked the old site and says "Case Approved". No update on the new site and case tracker didn't notify me. God is great.

Noa1: August 22 (old) August 27(new)

😊😊😊

Hope you guys get your approval soon. I'm shaking and so happy..😊😊😊

Great day for us!  Congrats!
