Hi Everyone!  I just found this site.  I have been looking for something like this since I filed at the end of December.  My receipt date is January 4 and still no  movement, but I'm excited because after reading all this, there is hope!!!  I'm assuming the status just changes one day from received to approved (hopefully).  Does anyone have any idea which countries are fast or slow?  I'm waiting on India.  Also wondering if the Afghanistan situation will bog things down?  Thanks to those of you doing all the hard stats work.  I have no idea where you are finding the data, but thank you!!!  

I am assuming you are checking the status of your case on uscis?  If not, then just go there maybe once a day to see.  What we do is we have apps that on android (at least the app i have) shows up to 100 cases prior to the case you enter.  I think IOS shows up to 500?  But really, just refresh it either every couple days or once a week by putting your case into the online tracker and thatll give you the status update.  Yeah you will either get a denied, approved, Request for evidence, some people were getting documents mailed but for this length of time that is probably not going to happen to you.

I do check my status daily (as frustrating as that gets!).  Wow - ok, apps that give updates.  This is such a long process.  Trying to not think about it and just let it happen but so anxious for the approval!!!  Good luck to you and all!  I wish this were easier.

Hang in there.  We are all at the mercy right now but we've got this.  Hope is there.  And yeah just keep checking.

As promised, every two days. Data as of 7PM EST. I’ll leave the more detailed tracking with dates to @mitzab as I don’t know how to track based on that.

 

I highlighted total cases that seemed to have one each added to it - I repeated the search 3x for each and seemed like one was added for each. Anyway, 154 cases were processed within the past two days - as you see no additional rejections. My thinking is those were rejected because of insufficient funds, wrong form, or something else and not an actual rejection.

 

I’ll run the next update on Monday instead of Sunday. :)

Got RFE on Monday August 16th. Received letter today. It Was simple missed info🤦🏿‍♀️. Divorce decree and more evidence that we have met in person within 2 years. I didn't include receipts or passport stamps..this time around I sent iteneraries, receipts, boarding passes and passport stamps. Iteneraries alone aren't sufficient.  I mailed it back today. It was stuff I had easy access to. I sent it priority mail. I live in Washington state, it is going to California. So should get there by Tues. Wednesday at the latest. I will update my timeline too. Good luck to all and it really has been wonderful having this support group and following everyone's journey.

Just keep positive that it was easy stuff.  That means they will see it, review and approve!  I know that seems like obvious steps but i am talking more of hopefully a quick turnaround on their end once they receive everything.

I just have an inquiry (that could potentially help other Jan filers regarding timelines) about the service centers. My fiancé and I sent our I-129F to the Lewisville, TX, Service Center and yet both our NOA1 and NOA2 were sent to us by the California Service Center. Am I to change the Service Center on my timeline, or keep it as is?
