ImmiFairy.com is showing a bunch of March approvals today, looks like the trend is leading into this month!

I didn't receive notice of an approval today, but I did receive notice that we've been sent an RFE and I'm still overjoyed. I'm just happy there's finally been some progress! Congrats to everyone who has been approved.

APPROVED!!!!!!!!! The nightmare is over! I hope for speedy approval for you all! thanks for all your support everyone!

You can manually type receipt numbers in the USCIS site. They are numbered consecutively.
Immifairy sends out a daily report that shows all the action TSC took the previous day. It also lists all petitions still open along with the receipt numbers (leaving off the last 4 digits). It's a great tool to see what's happening there and what's happening around your received date. But on the flip side...it can be very very frustrating when you see action close to your date then nothing for days.

Immifaiy.com provides daily updates with information taken directly from USCIS.

You are deff not alone, 50% of Feb is still untouched

I'm sensing trickle, not landslide. I see the Immifairy reports each processing day and there still isn't any real trending that suggests that approvals are accelerating anymore. It was easy to see that the TSC was scattering approvals over a few months to water down the processing window, but not much else. The March approvals were either lottery picks or expedited cases. With that said I still hold hope that it is coming soon. Still the data does not lie.

I completely understand your feeling... but I want to humbly offer some perspective, in the form of a true story, that happened to me.
Many years ago, I was driving through a town in Texas with a car-full of friends. We were in a hurry to get where we were going. A car that was behind us sped up and passed me. However, immediately after passing me and pulling in front of me, that car slowed down . . . and then slowed some more.
This made me angry! The driver of that car could have slowed down when he was behind me. I get SO IRRITATED when someone gets in front of me and then slows down, impeding my progress and delaying me from arriving at my desired destination.
Then a truck blew threw a Stop Sign from a side street and knocked the car 50 yards down the opposite side street. One second, the offending car was right in front of me, and the next there was the loud BANG of busting metal and shattering glass, and the car (and truck) were gone.
If that car had not passed me and then slowed me down, the truck would have T-Boned my car and my friends riding with me would have been hurt or even killed.
What I took from that near catastrophe, is that 'We may never know the reasons WHY things happen as they do. There are Unseen Benefits and Catastrophes Avoided, that we are never aware of. So even though I get frustrated at life's seemingly unfair situations, I have found Peace in giving thanks in all things.
I share your frustration at how fast petitions at CSC are approved. But being furious will only allow the stress that accompanies that Fury to damage my health, and make me unpleasant to be around. So, I am choosing to wait patiently, (for now) and make use of this wait time to prepare for my coming Bride.
Be Blessed This Day,
Tom

For some reason for our case we haven't received any texts or emails so we assume somehow they lost our sheet that had that information; but I checked the case status on uscis and thats the most important thing (: Once you see the update to 'my case has been approved' they will then send you a letter which you will receive some time after. So, for now I would say focus on checking the case status!

Sweet... will apply now and see how I like it

I guess that is true. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
No, it's a subscription service. But it's only 10 bucks a month... I spend more at Starbucks in a week lol. I think it's def worth it imho... At the end of the day, the small investment is worth at least checking it out.

Yes... looks like Igor's list tracks around 600-700 cases from the backlog.
ImmiFairy, on the other hand, is tracking more than 10,000 cases and shows typically 10x (or even more) approvals per day than Igor's list. It also helps you see where your petition sits on the bell curve of those waiting to be adjudicated.
As I said, I find it helpful and the community on ImmiFairy is mostly K1s from TSC, so we have a lot of good discussions that can't be infiltrated by CSC noobs that are unknowingly insulting to our struggle haha...

Not that I trust it much anymore, but the estimated adjudication dates here are bouncing around so much the last week. Crazy how much the date range is moving from a range of two weeks to know a full month. It might as well just say: "Some day" or " Eventually". Still I have hope of a NOA2 approval in the month of August even though this site now pegs the entire month of September. Gotta have hope.

At the rate they are moving you could have stopped after work

OUR CASE WAS APPROVED YESTERDAY (31-07-2015). THANKS BE GOD!!!

I've been looking at timelines of other people from my Fiances country it looks to be about 3 months after NOA2. Each country is going to be different so you might look for other people from Montenegro.

Hey guys February filer new to the group... nao1 date february 13... Good luck to all hopefully we will get our approvals soon!

Thanks for letting me know. Always glad to learn new things. (:
Apparently I was mistaken (see the quoted response above yours in this post), so you should have nothing to worry about. Sorry to have caused you any concern.

"I'm sorry, you appear to be mistaken, which is understandable because the chart is purposefully misleading. If you'll look again, the chart specifically indicates that that is "As of May 31, 2015" which is now 8 weeks ago. I understand that they update these once per month, and I follow it closely. I am asking for help in regards to the fact that the date is extremely out of date (and sometimes doesn't change at all). I am unable to call and inquire about my case until I am out of this date range, but again, the information is so old and unreliable that is completely unusable. This is why I contacted you--to help with trouble with a federal process. Surely you aren't bound by the same "rules" they give to us regarding the ability to call and inquire about a case? If so, what is the point?"
Not particularly nice, and not liable to get the response you want but could at least point out to him how ridiculous it is that he (a) can't read a chart (b) thinks that 8 week old information is useful (c ) has to play by the exact same rules you do....if that's the case....what IS his job, then?

Does immifairy show the receipt numbers being processed? I want to try to understand their work habits.

I'm waiting with bated breadth for my turn, really. It's been a long frustrating wait. 177 days on and still waiting.

I noticed that too....it's two days AFTER my NOA1. Watching TSC is like watching a wicked game of Whack A Mole.
Let's hope we are approved in the next week or two. Fingers crossed.

LOL... I had whiskey sour coming out of my nose reading this. Love it!!!!!
You Rock Cat!

Got an email that I got an RFE. But at least they have touched my application. I am sure others will get some approvals!!
