July 10th filer, we just received an email from our attorney showing our NOA2 (dated January 27th)!!! No update on the app, and I still haven't received my copy. In fact, I had just come home from checking the mail and being upset that there was nothing from USCIS when my fiance messaged me with the good news (he got to the email quicker) and I jumped up and down, laughed, then cried. Jumping may not have been the best choice for someone who is 9 months pregnant, but I don't care. We are one step closer to being together as a family <3 I hope good news comes to all of you soon, as well!!

My fiance just called the NVC and our case is already assigned. 
 
NOA1: 07/03/2017
NOA2: 01/20/2018
NVC Case number assigned: 01/31/2018

Yep-July 10th and still waiting :-(

GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I got an informed delivery notification this morning and there's something with page 1 of 1 coming for me today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the e-mail and I'm not kidding I almost fainted dead away.  I'm still shaking violently and choking back tears.
Called Tiger and woke him up to tell him.
Has "page 1 of 1" ever meant anything but approval to anyone's knowledge?
 
7/17 NOA1, website still says case received.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you guys know my case was approved as of today on the uscis website!!! I had a received date of July 19th and approval date of January 31st. I had received an email from usps but no picture as to what the mail was. Hope we get lots more approvals coming this week and next!!! 

We are July 14 filers, received approval in the mail yesterday ! Pic from our engagement 

That must be very disheartening :-( I hope your NOA2 comes today-that's way too long!! Our estimate started out in October and just kept getting pushed back until about two weeks ago when it stayed at jan 24-27. I think we would be dealing with things a little better if we weren't expecting a baby, every day we wait is longer our family is apart. I can imagine it is a similar feeling for anyone else with kids in this situation. We try to make the best of things as they are, but I suppose we all have good days and bad days. Hoping today is a good one for all of us still waiting!!!

Well...unless our NOA2 is one of those in the mail without any online update, our timeline estimate was wrong too. According to VJ, should have been adjudicated between 1/24 and 1/27. It is really difficult to not be discouraged and lose hope at this point, especially with our little one coming so soon :-(  It doesn't help knowing others are still waiting, too...I wish for everyone to be with their loved ones ASAP. This is taking much longer than it should. Praying for good news for all this week!!

Thanks, I wondered if any came  earlier than VJ estimated. I’ve seen lots of posts from people passing their estimates, that’s interesting. Congrats on the NOA2, hopefully the next stage goes quickly for you! 

Guys, my fiancé and I have been the ultimate lurkers here since July 13th and signed up just now to share that we received our NOA2 in the mail today! I had a feeling we wouldn't get updated online and we never did, our NOA2 is dated January 20th (last saturday!). Many of you will probably get notified the same way Best of luck, we're all almost there!!
 
Also, we appreciate this forum and all the valuable information sharing on here so so much!

I returned home and saw our NOA2 sitting in my mail box! Case Approved!!

Ive been a lurker since I joined but todays approvals have got me so excited I have posted about 5 times!!!

Congratulations!!! We are July 10th as well, this gives me hope that we won't be waiting forever :-) My fiance and I are expecting our first baby in just a few weeks, it would be amazing to hear something before he is born (even though it will likely be a few more months until we can be together as a family :-( )

July 10th filer here- just received my NOA2 we were approved!!!!! Keep up the faith you guys, these were the longest 6 months of my entire life. There’s hope for those who haven’t heard back yet. 

OMG YOU GUYS!!! I just got an email from USCIS! It says:
 
"Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity
 
On January 18, 2018, we approved your Form I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), Receipt Number WAC[blah blah]. We will mail your approval notice."
 
I'm smiling so much right now, is this really true?? Aaaaahhh!!
 
Edit: I'm a July 10 NOA1

Congratulations!! Primary evidence is much more important (passport stamps or i94 records showing visits, boarding passes, hotel and gift receipts, things that show you’ve actually met), but our attorney also included a few screenshots of messenger history from each month. I sent them tons of messages from our chat logs, and the ones they chose were conversations about our visits, about our plans to get married, about our visa process, etc. not just random conversations but things that backed up the primary evidence. I assume screenshots of FaceTime call logs and texts would be fine too. All the best to you!

We have finally been approved.........huge happy dance, this has been a long wait  we are both thrilled and over the moon .  The only notification came via   a letter in the mail, there has been no update of our case online. Our Noa1 date is 7th of June, Noa2  was approved on the 27th December and mailed on the 28th Dec....... 203 days. We received notification via USPS informed delivery on the 2nd of Jan. We are now on the 3rd of Jan and our case is still showing as received online.

Update: My fiancé got his Canadian police certificate today, so it took about 4 weeks for him from the time he sent his fingerprints with the expedited shipping to Canada (nothing to report, i imagine if there was it would've taken longer). All the best to you, hope you get your NOA2 soon :-)

I returned from Algeria last night at midnight  (after traveling for 30 hours). I went to my fiance's interview with him  (the interview was on the 25th of October, I applied for the k1 on February 2, 2017, waited on the NOA2 for 169 days, then waited on an interview for 2 months). I am exhausted. I just want my fiance here with me. I do not care about weddings or venues or guests or dresses   (cake would be nice...I love cake). I am sure at this point in my life...the wedding isn't important....it's the marriage that matters.

I consider myself a bit lucky as both my partner and I decided we didn't want to deal with the stress of planning a big wedding.  Unfortunately my emotional state isn't good enough to be able to go through that.  The money involved is also a big factor.  We are going to do something really small and maybe have a small reception.  We have to sell our house and our belonging and worry about our finances running out before we move.  We are transporting 2 cats and a dog with us to Utah so that's going to be a mission as well.  There is so much stress involved in getting moved that the wedding part needs to be very low stress.  I'd say that's the one part of this that I'm not disappointed about.  
 
I do have to say that the surprise additional 3 -4 months has been very stressful for recent filers.  There wasn't any way to predict that the process would be delayed by that long.  Some people have their lives on hold completely and lengthening the time is absolutely excruciating.  There really isn't a good way to tell people to just be positive about this.  I think the better option is to acknowledge how stressful this is and encourage people to hang in there.  This isn't a delightful situation for anybody.  

Wow, I know I'm new here but the sanctimony on this site is off the charts. You don't know this person's story or situation. Maybe they're a woman, in which case having family find out you've had premarital sex can be deadly in some cases. Ever heard of honor killings? How about just answer the OP's question and keep the judgement to yourself?
