I agree. The track my visa site is saying we could hear something back by March 19 2024. I can dream at least 😁. I see people that filed in November are hearing back. Fingers crossed.

They have about 600 more cases in Aug 2023. So 20% to go. Give it time. There will be decent amount of RFEs there as well. 

I wonder are the cases completed in the order that they were received in?

In general, yes.  However, there are variables such as background checks, individual adjudicator workload, etc. which affect the completion times of individual cases.

It is like a splash of water. You move glass starting point a bit every day, but splash is a large area, and distance between opposite sides of it can be large, and some patches do not get wet for awhile.

Mine was approved at the end of February.  Just trying to figure out what to do next.

At this point we can't really do anything without our NVC case number. Once we get that we can begin paying our visa fees, DS-160, scheduling our interview and scheduling our medical.

We have assumed slow denial at this point due to perhaps sending too much evidence and looking too married, so we have started making wedding plans instead to cheer us up and once we get the bad news we can just press play on all the wedding plans we have made and at some point next year we will get married and file for a CR-1. If we have to wait another year we are atleast gonna try and have our dream wedding rather than feeling like this wait was for nothing. 
 

We decided to just get the track my visa now premium so unless we get an email from them with an approval we assume we will be denied. We don’t check anything anymore and I’m visiting him right now and we are having the time of our lives. This is such a cruel process. To think there are people crossing the border on a tourist visa, suddenly getting married and then adjusting status is sickening and is an insult to people like us doing the right thing and getting penalised for it!

I think denial is extremely extremely extremely unlikely at I-129F point. Especially since you didn't even have RFE.

I’m thinking maybe we call again soon…

 

starting to wonder if it’s the fact that we had 3 document returned status updates in January? Maybe our account had glitched? We are even worried that we perhaps have had an rfe or a NOID and it’s been missed because of the status updates of document returned… something isn’t right I feel it really strongly that something isn’t right and no one will listen to us. 
 

We did call about it back in February and was promised a call back but only got an email from a tier 2 officer but it didn’t sit well with me and didn’t answer our questions. It only stated that we had requested the NOA1 again and that was returned. It didn’t mention anything about why we had 3 of these status updates within 3 weeks of each other and also didn’t state what/if we needed to do. It just said that if we had our reciept number that we are processing normally but I don’t believe that for a second after the fact that we are a clean case and now they are on October …

 

I’m clearly the only one here on this forum waiting from August 2023 now so perhaps we call again and mention that we know most of August has been processed?
