It's not about "practiced" answers, it's about honest answers. Most people coming on a K1 have at least some vague idea of when they're getting married, even if it's not set in stone. 
 
The officer who let me into the US with my K1 Visa barely said a word, just looked at my documents and sent me along. It was so anti-climactic after being so nervous. When I travelled here as a tourist I was asked a ton of questions. I understand that these guys can seem like they're just making friendly conversation, but what they're really doing is deciding whether you're getting into the country or not.
 
It was definitely not the time or place to be joking around with something like that. You really need to clarify.
 

Haven't been checking this website the last couple weeks and it's been nice. This forum was really helpful in the beginning of the US immigration process, but now it's just a source of anxiety lol. Just thought I'd let you guys know since I've been updating the list the majority of the time, so if anyone still cares about that someone else will have to do it. Visajourney has served it's purpose for me at this point, so i'm outies for good. Goodluck with everything guys 

I made an appointment at USCIS to get a stamp in my passport. I wasn't originally planning to because I don't have any travel plans. But the DMV here couldn't renew my license without the stamp..

I got that update weeks ago (december 2016 filer). Mine says Feb 26 though. I haven't had any contact from USCIS what so ever. There are a few different theories as to what is happening, but I believe that the updates we're getting on the receipt number that used to not work are meaningless..

Just go. I visited family using my extension letter and expired green card. When I got back to the US the customs agent said "welcome home" and it was fine.

The tier 1 agents don't know what they're talking about. They only know what we know. I had 2 tier 1 agents tell me it was not a glitch, and then a tier 2 agent told me my case was never transferred and it's still in CA. I wouldn't trust anything they say. But I do believe that my case never left CA. 
 
Did they tell you why it will take 3-5 days to get a call back? I got a call back from them within an hr

So I just got off the phone with a Tier 2 officer. I explained everything to him, I even mentioned that there was discussion online
regarding whether or not this is a system glitch, or legitimate update and that many people have received the same update at once.
 
So he took my information, I mentioned that I had 2 different receipt numbers (one of which used to bring up an error). He put me on hold for
a couple minutes. When he came back he said that he looked in multiple places (in his system I assume) and it's still showing that my case
is at the California Service Center. He said that the case status thing was most likely an error. He also mentioned
that if my case had been transferred and that if I was scheduled for an interview that I would've received a letter in the mail as well.
 
I'm just going to go back to assuming the online case status system is not reliable and assume that I'm stuck waiting like I was a couple days ago

There's been a small amount of people being told it's a legitimate update compared to how many have been told it's just a system error. Wouldn't the
local offices of all people know for sure whether or not they'd had a boatload of files mailed to them?
 
I was hopeful at first and thought the people saying it's a glitch were just cynical, but it's seeming pretty obvious now..

I don't understand why people are still trying to say this is not a glitch. It has been proven from so many angles
that this is just some sort of error.
 
Can someone please close this thread?

So I called back again right away, just to see if another Tier 1 officer would say the same thing. But the 2nd office I spoke too did not sound like she knew what she was talking about at all, and when I asked her if she had heard about this specific update, she said she had not heard anything. So I requested a Tier 2 officer and they're going to call me back in an hour.

nothing from CSC yet. I think a few approvals at VSC. If your end goal is to become a citizen and you're in a position to apply, you might as well get it over with. I personally can't afford the fee right now, but I'm honestly fine with taking my time and enjoy a break from USCIS for a while. 

Just checked how long it has been since USCIS received my case. If my ROC process was a pregnancy, i'd be due in around 10 days 

Yeah, around a year seems to be the norm these days. At the beginning of this I honestly thought this was gonna be a 6 month thing at most, but now I'm going to be very surprised to hear anything before December. But thats a long time from now, who knows, maybe things will get better and USCIS will pick up the pace. Or maybe it'll get worse, it's anyones guess haha

I think a couple months ago they were processing May 29 2016 applications, now they're on June 7 2016. Months for them to process a weeks worth of applications. Pretty crazy

Why are you anxious? The norm these days if for the process to take up to 12 months. So expecting anything to happen sooner than that, you're kind of stressing yourself out over nothing. Your file is literally just sitting in a pile, untouched. No amount of anxiety will change that. The only reason we're going through this process is because we have to prove that our marriages are genuine, and if it is, then you're pretty much golden. 
 
If you go to USCIS.gov there's a button right on that page that says "check your case status". It's pretty straight forward from there. Although it's unlikely that your status will ever change, so don't be too disappointed if it's not updated at all. Mine has said something about a fee being waived since December.
 
The phone number for USCIS is 1-800-375-5283, but good luck getting someone on the other end who has any sort of clue what's going on. If you request to speak to someone in Tier 2, you may get more information. But the tier 1 agents, are basically useless.
