What is ur received date? Hang in there. It will come  Someone had waited for 134 days for December and November filers.. it sucks... but its something that I think we have to mentally prepare for worst case that possibly would come. 

We are at 111 days as of tomorrow!  

Have faith!

Hi im a filipina too and agree waiting really sucks!!! Spending some time here in vj i read something that caught my attention:not to compare my timeline to others and check the status once a day probably at night. Everytime i tell my fiance how much im impatiently waiting for notice2 he keep telling me to do things i cant do when im with him.and it helps

im a domestic helper in hk and yes i know grace we share frustrations lol following what my fiance told me really helps it diverts my attention

1,i spend more more time with kids and play a lot with my baby dog i love this little baby so much 

2,starting to organize everything so it will not be hard for the next worker to find what they need

3,i spend lot of time talking to my friends every sunday 

4, i start gathering some papers too 

5, in times that i still think about our approval i cross stitch its my hobby

      One day we had an agreement not to look in vj and status we'll just wait for notification 24 hours later i asked him to check to our surprise we got an approval 

    Things are different i know but everytime we talk we avoid talking about approval it lessens all the negative feelings. As i always told grace wait and wait this is just a test and never ever give up

Yup @Roger & Grace. We really hope that, too. So let it be you or @Jon & Malen. If lucky, 4 filipina fiances to 'possibly' meet at the embassy interview as we are just days away per our respective timelines hahaha. If things go smooth, 2months is the average processing time from NOA2 to Interview. USEM is quite fast at this phase. That's proven with recent VJ data. Phew!!! Some were actually less than that. Anyway, hope you both get approved anytime SOOOON along with other Phil-based beneficiaries, and non-Phil-based ofcourse. We're family here in VJ. We're all in this together spreading hopes with realistic expectations.

 

Since i joined here, I have such feels of joy whenever I see approvals posted here especially those who are way past 100 days. 

 

A quote to live by to manage anxiety and stress: 

 

"If it's meant to be, the universe will conspire to make it happen. Anything beyond our control isn't worth stressing out. Life is unfair but it is balanced. 🙂

 

It pays to fill our hearts and mind with nothing but positivity. 

 

Aloha!!!! 😀

 

 

 

 

Thank you for saying so.  Grace is freaking out worried!

After a frustrating day running around Shanghai trying to get a heads start on the police report (I'm from Hong Kong but has been working in Shanghai for the past 2.5 years), still to no avail (anyone has any advise on that, btw? they kept saying 'we cannot release a report for you coz you are from Hong Kong.. and kept pushing me to another station/dept..) 

 

Tonight, to my complete surprise - I checked our K1 status mindlessly and IT WAS APPROVED!!! (our NOA 1 was Jan 19 ) 

 

This forum has been a saving grace for me (long time lurker, first time post-er Best of luck to everyone! Everyday is another step closer for us! 

 

Happy for you!   I know it is frustrating but it is good to hear others getting through the system!  (Even though we secretly wish it was us too!)

Hey! here sends my big congratulations to you, too! I was typing my reply to your previous quote about my approval when i saw yours getting approved as well. A day difference from mine. Yay!!! 

 

Congrats again and keep in touch for our PI USEM journey! 👏🎉👍

 

Also, to those who have gotten their NOA2s, Congratulations!!!

 

And to those who are still on the wait, again hang in there... you're next! 🙂👍 

 

Aloha! 🙂

So things seem to come in three's right??  So 1 down, 2 down,  let us be the 3rd???

Well after having did a little venting earlier about the confusion with what information needs to be posted on the timeline I have some good news. Have gotten approved today. Hew Haw!!! Have not gotten an official email or text saying been approved but the USCIS app. says my case has been approved. I now feel as though this big weight and 10,000 lb. gorilla has been lifted off my shoulders. Keep the faith people. It is going to happen soon and then all that anxiety and stress will suddenly just disappear.

Extremely excited for you... hope we are next too..

Roger and Grace, you are a beautiful couple. 

I hope your NOA2 comes soon so that you can be reunited again, this time for forever! 

 

Thank you!  If it were not for faith and me being strong beautiful good people like Grace would just give up! One or both needs to just believe we got this.  We will get through it.

It has been 6 days that our case stuck at the NVC , they don't transfer it to the US embassy , So worried ! 🤔😒

We already recieved our Case number 5 days ago.

Does any one know how long would it might take the NVC process?

 

could take 2-3 weeks  prepare all the other forms  pictures your brag book and mail it to her.. for the interviews

Sorry for meddling, but it's my understanding that you use your Notice date for the VJ Timeline. Just keep in mind the scans use your Received date... so you should have January on there so the estimates work? 

 

Oh well, not biggie... and sure you are a lovely couple. Best of lucks for this week!

So now again another person  (you)  are saying it the other way??? Received date 12/27  is for the Excel files?  But the real Notice date is Jan 6th, as far as the California office...  now were back to where we were earlier...

They sure don't make this easy!  So which one is everyone using?

Use the received date. The confusion is on your timeline you put January 6th for your NOA1, but it should be December 27th. So change the NOA1 date on your timeline to the received date of December 27th. 

OK,  just did... Thanks.. 

So here we are......

When comparing your date to the scan dates, you would use received date, December 27th. The VJ timelines go by NOA1 notice date, however. 

That's what I thought....  OK, Thanks!!!

because in the the scan spreadsheets our WAC number shows Dec 27th    

But others on here say relax Roger n Grace, your really Jan 6th in the USCIS Notice date...

Thanks 

So is that the received date, or notice date when I look at my I 797 c Notice of action? aka= NOA -1  receipt on the case type I129f  petition for Alien Fiance...

I'm confused again.... looking at other threads, and comments? 

Received date  Dec 27th  2016  

Notice date Jan 06 2017

Help for which to use>??

I appreciated everything you have done. I believe those whose cases haven't been approved are anxious like me. And your post does comfort a lot of couples like us. Thank you. 

Hang in there!!!!!

Hang in there. Refreshing the app constantly won't make you approval come any faster. We all know it's a wait, but try to keep yourself busy and then next thing you know you have the notification that you are awaiting.

That's easily said... and true... but the wait is crazy...  Then someone on here, maybe 2 posts, and they get approved? 

And I go really?  How did you help the community here at all.... Grrrrrrrrrr.  

IMO, I feel if I am helping others on here, I am giving encouragement to them as well. I know the VJ site and others have been a huuuuuuge help so far!

I have a question. For those who have been waiting their NOA2 over 120 days, will making a phone call work? Or all we can do is waiting? 

If you see everyone around you approved.  I'd call.
