Initial scan completed...off to work (darn weekdays!), but I'm going to put this out there so you guys can run the data however you want. I'm still working on the daily-update pieces. These are ONLY K1 apps.
 
Note: There's a bug with a few cases that show a future date. This is because USCIS....for some reason...doesn't have a date updated field on those cases, so my script mistakenly pulled the date from the wrong part of the status. These are are very few and far between, but that's why there's a few cases with February dates in the data.
 
This covers K1s from 1790048000 to 1790108000.

I don't think we fall under family sponsored. That's for spouses, children, parents, etc. And that is an immigrant visa. K1 fiance visa falls under the non immigrant category of I'm not mistaken. I read that bulletin too ?

Cheers to that!

Cheers to that!

Can she move in with you?

Not their database directly...oh boy, if I could do that, this would be so simple! lol No, I wrote some code to scrape their site...it's basically the same underlying process as the mobile apps. Then I just output the I-129Fs and their date and status to a CSV. I'm using AWS to avoid the IP bans every 4k requests or so (I throttle to 1 request per second to avoid putting too much stress on their system).

Wow!!! That's wonderful! Always happy to hear good news from our group ?

guuuuuuuys i got approved!!!!!!! on our anniversary!... TODAY was terrible ended up crying and driving 2 hours back home from visiting my family.....long story anyways when i got home around one am ...i got a notification that my case was approved....  i was just on the fone with my fiance crying telling him how much i couldnt take it and as i hung up.... IM APPROVED>>> now im all of a sudden sad by the people who arent approved yet because i know how it feels seeing approval after approval. But i guess that means one step closer to your case.

If your IP gets locked out of the app (because of the amount of searches you've made), you can use the VPN app to make you look like you have a new IP and thus enable you to make searches on the app again.  

Yay!!! Congratulations!!!

      Forgot to let the group know I also received a response. I do not plan to pursue this further at this time. If no NOA 2 by end of January then I will give it a shot.   Jim     Dear Sir/Madam,  
Thank you for contacting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (Ombudsman’s Office).

How do I request help from the Ombudsman’s Office?
 
The Ombudsman’s Office helps individuals and employers who have applications or petitions pending with USCIS and wish to resolve a problem associated with that application or petition.  Before contacting the Ombudsman for help, we encourage you to first try to resolve your problem by using one or more of the various USCIS customer service options, including but not limited to:  calling  the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283, or scheduling  an INFOPASS appointment with USCIS online or in your local USCIS office. 
 
USCIS has also recently made improvements to their customer service options by allowing customers to inquire electronically about filings with USCIS through e-Request, track the mailing and delivery of USCIS-produced cards and documents through their Secure Mail Initiative, and by expanding National Customer Service Center call hours.  For more information, visit the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov.  If you already have attempted to resolve your issue with USCIS and would like our office to review the issue, please submit a request for help from our office.
 
Immigration-Related Questions
 
The Ombudsman’s Office is limited to assisting individuals who are experiencing difficulties connected with applications or petitions pending with USCIS.  Often individuals have questions regarding immigration issues that fall under the authority of other components within DHS or the authority of other agencies of the U.S. government.

Although we cannot assist in matters that do not directly involve USCIS, we hope the following information is helpful. This information addresses some frequently asked questions that may involve other components of DHS and the Department of State:

I have been doing searches for january 18 approvals for receipt numbers between wac1790044+++ to 49+++ for the past 2 hours.
 
I'll post screenshots of results I have come up with.
 
There's a vpn app on the appstore that gives you 24 minutes usage daily. I'll send a screenshot of the app as well.

Yay!!! Congratulations!!!

It's weird indeed. It's a notification for an I-130 application and a different receipt number. Must be a glitch. :/

In addition to Jim's search, saw 3 more that got approved 17 January
 

Oh wait...haha. Sorry, that says cases SIMILAR to that receipt number. Not exactly for that number. Lol. Sorry my bad!

Hello one and all!
i guess this is an account of our journey from the beginning of October 2016 when we filled our I-129f petition (and created this thread) to yesterday when I finally picked up my visa from a courier's depot in the middle of an industrial estate. For the last three months, we have been living in an emotional rollercoaster that it is nearly impossible for anyone that hasn't gone through this process to comprehend. I don't think anyone or anything  can prepare you for it and all you can rely on is the strength of the love of your relationship. I still remember vividly the time when I woke up in the middle of the night and found out that our petition has been approved, it is one of those moments that I will never forget. The daily phone calls to NVC to find out if they have received our case file and the joy in my voice when the middle aged lady from NVC told me that they have received it! The embassy interview was probably the biggest anti-climax of the whole process as unfortunately there are no fireworks or big parades when the CO tells you that you have been approved lol. Then after the interview, there was probably the most stressful period of my life so far which ended yesterday when a young guy handed me a large white package. He had absolutely no idea what this package meant to us! In the end every single minute of this rollercoaster was absolutely worth it and we couldn't be happier and more excited about our future together!!!
 
I sincerely hope that every one of you that still waiting for an approval or interview get the news that you want very soon. It is off to AOS for us but at least this time we will be going through the process together and not thousands of miles apart.
 
Never lose hope and never give up because love is the strongest single thing in the world!

I feel you! we all do :D. We were together too for 6 months then she needed to fly back to the states (as she need to be stable there financially so we needed to plan ahead.)  Been 3months apart for us now and i know how it feels. Im mentally and emotionally tortured everyday but this will be a happy ending  everyone of us here will have it! She's currently having two jobs just to make sure we meet requirement, and we hardly even talk now which is heartbreaking. But im understanding as ever because shes all doing it for us. Being here in asia and having a fiance with 13 hrs time zones difference is though but we're fighting and keeping our hopes up everyday. Stay positive, that's what i have been doing too. I stopped checking my USCIS app for awhile haha cos its driving me crazy and my fiance even asked me to stop reading here cos im getting anxious about everything. I cant just sit here tho just waiting and i have no idea whats going on so im still here :D. And will stay here with you guys til the end of our process. I'm just always following the threads here and its very helpful to each of of us here. 
 
It's going to be a long journey for us but its worth it! Pray hard. keep it positive. We'll get there. slowly.. but we will haha
