I've recently travelled over on an ESTA. I was asked why I am visiting (visiting husband) when I am returning and then they told me to have a nice trip. Thankfully very straightforward.

February 2024 filers and 2024 filers in general, how's your progress going? I realise it's pretty early for this thread, 10 - 12 months before our cases would reach the average processing time. I also understand that "My Progress" isn't accurate for the majority of people. But even so, I would love to hear how others are doing to pass the time. Ours changed to "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS" the day after it was submitted online. Our "My Progress" tab on the USCIS website gave a much faster estimate than expected. Now we've just gone into "you're case is taking longer than expected to process". I was chatting to someone else who filed in March, their My Progress count also started at 3 months. I'm wondering why initial estimates are so low, given the average processing times. This is our My Progress status timeline so far: 6th Feb - 3 months 16th Feb - 2 months 28th Feb - 5 weeks 1st Mar - 4 weeks 8th Mar - 3 weeks 15th Mar - 2 weeks 22nd Mar - 1 week 29th Mar - Your case is taking longer than expected to process. I thought maybe the count would drop into days, but it never did. It went straight to taking longer than expected, where it still is now. I've heard a few people mention USCIS are actually looking at the petition when you get a second "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS" message. I'm not sure how you know it's the second time though. Does the status change to something else first? Are you notified of it somehow? Good luck to everyone, may your journeys be as quick as possible

We filled at a similar time. It said 3 months at first, then it changed to 2 months after ten days. It would be nice to think things are moving faster these days, but all the evidence online would suggest it's just not accurate. I would be curious to hear when the time estimate changes for you @Penguin_DE and @jmalelkamel I can't help wondering if there is any pattern. Did you file online?
