@Naes!!!!  I literally JUST congratulated you on your approval and mine just came in the mail today!!!  Aaaaaaaaah!  I can’t stop screaming and crying!!  I’m with my fiance in London so I went to check my e-mails for informed delivery notifications and it was there!!  Page 1of 1!!  I called my mom on Skype to tell her and I freaked her out with my tears!  LOL  She asked in a panic what had happened so I told her we’d been approved!  She asked, “Why are you crying then?”  Lol.  My fiance told her its because I’m an emotional person.    He knows me so well!   @NICK & PAULA I’m finally part of the club! Yay!!!  
 
This was a silent approval as the website and the app still show Response to USCIS request for evidence was received.  
 
Received date: August 23
RFE Date: Feb 28
RFE Additional Evidence Received by USCIS: March 15
NOA2 Date:  April 3
 
I will make sure to update my timeline. 

Interview done, visa approved!!!! 

I know I am late to see this but OMG CONGRATULATIONS @Naes!!! I am jumping up and down for joy for you girly!  Good things happen to good people and you are definitely one of the best!  SO happy for you!  

Hellooooo Berries!!!!!
 
as mentioned before, WE ARE APPROVED!!!
 
4 hours after the name updated I was woken up by lovely @Swissmiss82 (whom I swore at for a good minute as I finally fell asleep at 2:30 🤣🤣 then I saw who it was but couldn’t wake up, then she sent me a screenshot of my approval. I advise anyone to have one of these @Swissmiss82 in hand cause she knew before my email came )
 
Now about the “name was updated” as my other dear @emekus94 said, normally “name was updated” is a correction on the petition about name or address or such.  However, when they were doing May I was really in to research on some of the updates that people has no idea why. One was name was updated (never expected to get one) I confirmed this theory of name updated 99% turns to approval with quite a lot of members here so yayyyy.
 
my case only got name update on 4/5 4am but with the date of 4/4 on the new site, and the approval came on the old site.
 
wow can’t believe I’m writing this!
 
received date: Sept 15
submitted: Sept 18
noa 2: April 5
 
I deleted the app so I’m not sure but I think I’m on day 204? from the received date. 
 
And I wouldn’t do this again even if they give me a million dollars! 
 
I don’t know how everyone is doing it, but during the past week I broke up with my fiancé 10 times at least. Because I wanted to stop the pain one way or another. And I couldn’t go to work for the past 2 days.... so I understand why couples are drained and why some people are not as “strong” (actually this is the wrong word to use)
 
So many people helped me through this hell other than the chocolate puddings that I ate. 
 
Maid of horror:
@Swissmiss82
Gal pals:
@NICK & PAULA @ChuAni @Jaquelly @Thelucybelle @LizM @vocaledge (Dude just ignore the title)
 
I have many more people to thank, but If I start I can’t end. (No seriously it would be the whole page) or some of those nicknames my brain without coffee couldn’t figure out to thank to! (Yer, seriously what was your nickname??)
 
I want to give a brief summary of how this road looked like from my eyes:
-June edition:the one with most drama
-July edition: the one with the most chill
-August: the one that made me go crazy
-September : expediters 
-October : the one who always caught up in someone else’s drama
-November: all k1 goes to california 
-December: mainly validation errors
 
Thank you @Shoegum  
More than anything!!
Thank you @geowrian for the scans and informed delivery and basically saving everyone’s life! You are the anxious persons dream 😁!
 
Let’s hope I never win an oscar cause apparently that speech would not go well...
(I am extremely aware I am forgetting people to thank to....I just started but half the page became people’s names....)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG 
 
NAME UPDATED!!!!! WE WILL BE APPROVED TOMORROW!!!!!!

Thank you sweet lady!    We took our time and compiled an even more detailed collection of evidence and sent it in on Monday.  Hopefully that does the trick.  I am praying, while crossing all of my finger and toes, for a speedy response and approval!

We're waiting for you too, my darling! None of my girls should be left behind. 

Woohoo!  Such awesome news!  Congratulations!!  So happy for you! 

Approved today finally.  One of the happiest days of our lives.  Got notified by online and email and app.   Have not posted but have been lurking for a long time.  Thanks to everybody that have posted the scans and information on here.  It's helped a lot to know what is happening and when.  A lot of us would be totally in the dark without VJ and I for one really appreciate it.  This site and its members are real life savers or at least sanity savers.  I have already updated my timeline.
NOA1 - 8-14-17
NOA2 - 3-13-18
211 days
 
 

Just when I had actually about given up hope,  Day 215 we have been approved.  My heart is pretty full right now.

Well, I have a letter fro USCIS that "looks" like an approval.  I will know when it actually gets delivered!

Yup...still waiting with no RFE or anything!!!! 10 days away from hitting 300 days (equivalent to 10 months of waiting).

Hi Augustines!
 
I am trying to make a list to see who's left here on which date, this is something I'm doing to try and keep track since June.
I'm pretty sure there are more people around but I just couldn't find yet.
if you see this message and you are not on the list, please tag me or just write around which date you are waiting on.
 
please update me, if you got a status change from this list.

After 204 days we have just received an RFE through the app!! 
It’s not an approval but any news means everything to us at this point. 
Only going up from here! 
Wishing everyone the best of luck 

Yikes!  They really like their RFE’s don’t they? 

Five earlier posts have been removed for violating the site's Terms of Service (assaultive or belittling posts), along with posts quoting or referring to that material.
 
Folks, this process is not fun in the slightest.  In fact, it can be agonizing torment.  However, if you stick together and unfailingly support each other, you'll "bend" but never "break."
 
After you do some violent physical exercise to relieve some stress, here's some reading to help you kill time.
 
1.  For some perspective on the whole process, see:

It needs updating, but it's still valid.

Thanks.  It’s ok, though.  It’s a quick and simple fix I hope. 
 
And asinine is not EXACTLY the word I’d use.  Add an “s” and take off the “inine” and we’re in business.   

We sent airline tickets of us both, passport pages with the entry stamps, bank statements that showed transactions on the same date from the same location, some receipts, hotel bookings that had our names, receipt of my engagement ring, pictures of the two of us from each of the locations with the date and location at the back of each picture,  Whatsapp chats,  Call logs, and Skype call logs. We also wrote a bit about how we met and then at each point of the story where we met, we attached the evidence so it would easy for them to follow. 
 
 
@Kswtangel Thank you so much!

Thanks @NICK & PAULA.  As I was telling @Naes, I really did just have a laugh about it all.  You’re right, that’s all you can do sometimes.  Although, USCIS really needs to work on their sense of humour.  Geez!    
 
Luckily, I did make copies of everything so I will resubmit those and this time will include a statement detailing our visits with corresponding pictures.  Hopefully, that does it.  

Yep, it's what I suspected. They want you to send them again those bunch of evidences that you've initially sent because uhm....ahhhh... well, they've lost 'em! Geeezzz! Sometimes all you can do is laugh because you're sure that your packet was thoroughly scrutinized by you before sending it and then here comes the RFE asking you to give them those docs again as if it was your fault. Woow!
Anyway my darling, I know for sure that you're ready for this. Complete those papers and send them ASAP. If you have copies of your first packet then send those again and add a little more if you still have some.  For sure you'll get approved after they'll received your packet. I am cheering for your approval in advanced. Woooohooooo! 

You know.. that is really obnoxious. Purely asinine on the part of USCIS. convoluting an already convoluted process. UGH. I'm sorry you got this RFE. I'm curious to know what you should do as well

Girl they lost it....they are openly asking for the things you've sent
 
"soooo you sent these, I mean of course we have them duh... but maybe send some of those...and whatever sure send new evidence 🤷‍♀️...but we did not lose it!"

Oh don't worry ! Just send what they want and you will be fine soon!
 
I am pretty sure they just send most RFE on random, and not always care what people really miss...
 
Most of requests are really ridiculous...
 
 
They requested us to send more evidence as well and also divorce certificate of my finance which we have sent there of course !
 
So keep head up and all will be OK soon!
