Yay, I'm so excited to see the earlier December filers getting approved! Congratulations!

Hey December filers!! 
 
Approved on friday 28th April  
 
what seems to be the average for getting nvc number? 
 
Does anyone have an idea how often and when the USCIS be posted applications after approving? 
 
Thanks and and good luck to all waiting!! 

Wow! Great! Finally! Thank you for having a good heart and patience in taking over and learning the script. We appreciate your effort.😊

Awesome news!  You're on your way!

My fiance received her Visa in hand about a week after her interview.  This part of the process goes very fast!  

Good luck and congrats again!

You are so welcome! I'm so excited Geowrian went to the trouble of showing me how to do it, because I wouldn't have had the first clue. I hope the data gives you some feeling of orientation within this process. I'm sorry it's taking a long time on your case, Hy2016. It's a super tough wait. But being one out of only four remaining cases on that day means it's that much more likely that the next time they touch a 12/9 case it'll be yours! Your NOA1 one date is three weeks earlier than mine, so your chances of getting approved soon are higher than people who submitted when I did. So don't despair; I think your time will come soon!

Okay, fellow December filers. Since it looks like nobody is updating the December scans now (for good reasons -- fiance time is most important!), I've decided I will take it over for a while. @geowrian has been amazing enough to send me his awesome scanning method and show me how to use it, so thank you SO MUCH!
 
It took me a while to figure it out, scan, and extract and analyze the data, so this scan is from approximately 1600 this afternoon. Since at that time tonight's data had (obviously) not been available yet, it is actually data for last week. Here's that information, as well as a breakdown what specific actions were taken on each day of that past week.

One way flights are fine when traveling on an immigrant-intent visa like a K-1.

@HeartMoyo we are praying these last couple steps before he takes that flight are simple and fast.  Praying against any RFE, delays in getting an interview, and travel complications.  We'll have to buy a last minute flight from Zimbabwe home to me and how God's gonna pull that one off, I guess we just wait and see.  Easily $2,000-$3,000 for a one way flight last minute. I don't know where that money is, but it will be there in time.  Congrats on being approved It took 18 days for our NVC number, he leaves for Zim on Friday, and tonight we completed his DS-160, to the point that he just needs to add the photo and submit.  His second police clearance is on Monday and his medical is next Wednesday.  You have to schedule a medical at least two weeks before your interview date.  Since we don't have an interview date yet, that made it easy.  We knew we needed to go ahead and get things scheduled while we waited for that NVC number because Harare only recognizes TWO doctors for the medical, so the first chance you get you're going to want to see what their schedule looks like.  He has THREE more working days after today.  A very emotional week, but soon he'll be able to relax, and by faith we believe he'll be home in America by the last week of May or first week of June.  We chose 4 wedding dates of June 10th, 11th, or July 15th, 16th.  I can't wait to be his wife!

Thanks! Just got our RFE letter and yes, I guess we'd have to include the terms of use and more, hehe. Here's what they're asking for.

Absolutely, getting to spend time with our fiances is what this is all about, after all! Thank you for tagging Geowrian for me!
 
Awesome! Thank you so much! About to PM you right now ...

+@Kate + Evgeny
 
Yeah, PM me if you want info. I can pass along the same thing I sent to the others and go from there.

I could be wrong, but I think @geowrian created the program that runs the scans, so maybe he would be willing to share the script with you. There was another user doing scans for December for awhile, but she went on vacation to visit her fiance and hasn't updated us in awhile, but hey I can't blame her much for wanted to spend time with her fiance. 

Hello! I'm the beneficiary from the Philippines but we filed in Qatar USEM. 
When I called NVC, they just asked for my full name and date of birth and the receipt number from uscis (beneficiary). And also my fiances fullname and date of birth. They did verify all those details and gave me our case number. 

There are still a decent amount of filers from early, mid and late December still waiting for NOA2. There haven't been any case scans posted lately, which I kind of think is maybe a bit of a good thing, so that we don't stress ourselves out comparing individual cases to the many others. I hope you hear some positive news soon, the wait certainly is very frustrating. 

Thanks, it's good knowing others are in the same place. I can see how it could be crazy-making though to see all the updates. For us, we've been mostly chalking it up to USCIS being buried under even more cases than usual with the change over in administration here in the US. We reached the 5 month mark today for when we submitted our case, but I'm going to give them until the received date before I start calling. We know it happens, and its mostly just chance. Our wedding is scheduled for the beginning of October though, which we thought was plenty of extra time being almost a year out. We planned to get legally married when the visa came through and have our wedding in the clear. But at this rate, we're worried that this will impact our wedding plans!

I think a lot of it also has to do with the large rush of filers in December who wanted to avoid the fee increase. I know that I was one of them! Our wedding is also scheduled for the end of October and while I'm starting to stress a little bit about potentially having to move the date, I'm still trying to remain positive because I know there is nothing I can do at the moment but keep waiting. I hope you and everyone else still waiting for NOA2 hear some good news soon!

Just hang in there! My time was around the same. Just be patient, I know it's hard but it'll be worth it! 
 
Your case not being touched could be anything from yours is complicated somehow to you got put on the bottom of a stack of papers. Don't sweat it too much. 

We were in the same boat they received our case on December 6th and then an RFE on April 8th and then received notice on the April 17th and as of today no NO2 . I feel your frustration.  Paranoia was starting to seep in about no notifications. I personally decided to not look at the forum as much as I was since it was causing me more anxiety than anything ie. seeing people way after me already at their interview!!!! crazy stuff. Just hang in there,

Don't worry, I don't think it's your fault, or that your case is too dense. Our case was received on December 6 / NOA1 on December 9 and we still haven't heard anything either. As far as I can tell, the case hasn't even been touched, and we're a pretty basic, clear-cut case with no complications. It IS so very, very frustrating though. I completely agree...For us, we're sitting back waiting on that "outside normal processing time" mark to pass and getting ready to start putting pressure from whatever direction we can.
