When you call they tell you you are within the 5 month waiting period, I've called and wouldn't recommend it.

When you say you "wouldnʻt recommend it" do you mean itʻs pointless because theyʻll tell us weʻre within the 5-month window, or because itʻll somehow count against us? I am kinda tempted to call with the justification that people whose I-129Fʻs were received after mine are getting approved...

I think all of our nervous energy has been put in the "I miss you" bucket. But it is bittersweet.

We waited longer before, what is the last several months to finish? Glad to see all of the progress here. For those that aren't as far along as averages say, just remember that who gets your case at USCIS makes some difference, and it is my understanding that there is chance involved.

I get the sense too that some reviewers are quicker than others...especially as I start to see some cases filed after mine getting approved or at least RFE'd. Hopefully that means we'll hear something any day now...and I know we should be appreciative that most of us won't have to wait nearly as long as filers last year and years before. The anticipation is stressful though, especially now that we're in the window where others around us are getting their NOA2's!

I found out about the Case Tracker app through this forum...I am wondering if there's any way of isolating just the I-129F filings?

Approved...in a hurry because at work. Woohoo!

Congrats! Do you know why your petition took a couple of weeks longer than some of the others receiving NOA2's now? We're about a week away from the VJ estimate (which we know not to take too literally or seriously) but are noticing some other Japan filers who filed weeks before us and are still waiting for any sort of response. Curious if there was something unique to your case or not. We're trying to be patient but we seem to be in good company with so many others anxious to hear something!
