Igor’s list (or most likely vj timeline) asks to put the noa1 date. So most likely those are October 31 or before received cases. Scans go with the received dates.
 
it can also be a few that is not active but put received date and got silent noa2 or only updated on the new website( which is not really possible because someone who’s not active in the forum wouldn’t even think of putting the received date...but well plausible.)

I am soooo happy for those November filers that have received their NOA2!!!! Congratulations!
I would be ever so happy to be on the other side of this process…with them!!
 
*don't be disappointed…don't be disappointed..* 

Hello all.
Im curious about Igors list. Looking at that list there are 8 approvals for Nov 1st and the scans show only 1 approval for Nov 1st. So does that most likely mean those were all silent NOA2's? There's even a few Nov 2nds on there as well. I'll post a screenshot to show what I mean.  
 
Any ideas @x_driven_x @Naes ?
Thanks in advance for all your hard work and input here 🙂👍

I'm no pro but I think a request for initial evidence means you forgot to send something that was required originally (Birth Certificate, Divorce Decree, Criminal charges supporting documents etc).
Request for additional evidence seems to mean that you need to send more evidence to support your application as what you have sent may not be enough, believable or elaborate enough to prove your relationship is bonafide. 
Could be wrong but those are my thoughts.

Isn't the US base considered US soil? There is probably a special process for this. Your husband should ask the appropriate advisors on the military base how to handle this scenario, or perhaps you guys should have waiting for the visa to the US until he was no longer stationed overseas.

So my friend, he's a July filer... and he had to wait something like 227 days for NOA2, as back in July they were at peak slowness.
His fiancee had her interview last week on the 3rd, got approved, and he's going to fly her home later this month. 
 
I know this doesn't really help those of you anxious and waiting, but for me personally, I find hope in seeing my friend's journey and know our time is coming soon.
 
Try not to dwell on the wait, 5 years from now, these few extra weeks won't even be a worry. Think long term, this is all worth the wait! 

We are ready for a good week! 🙂
Today is 185 days for us...
NOA1 is Nov 2nd. 
Waiting for NOA2.
Praying things move along for everyone's sanity 😉

Graph for the average processing time of all cases received every considered day and approved within the next 205 days, as to 05/06/18.
 
And THAT is the tendency I wanted to see 
 
 

Your NOA 1 is the same date as ours best of luck! I'm hoping next week we will get some good news 🤞🤞🤞

Our NOA-1 is Nov 1st!!!
Best wishes to all of us!

Charts to compare July, August, September and October regarding the length of time from Received to Approved (as to 05/06/2018).
 
As a reminder, in the charts below I try to compare what happened within the next 187 days after the last day of July, August, September and October received cases. In order to see them clearer I put them together in pairs.
 
In that time, with a total of 596, 849, 923 and 1038 approved cases respectively:
 
July had a global mean of 195.56 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 5.22 days. August had a global mean of 189.94 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 6.95 days. September had a global mean of 187.57 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 7.68 days. October had a global mean of 182.92 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 7.00 days.  
As I mentioned in some previous post there clearly was a turning point from July to August, and it has kept improving consistently ever since. Notice that they did not only shortened the average number of days, they also approved more cases in the same period of time. Hopefully this tendency will continue!

More tips on the interview below……
1. Speak slow, and answer questions in detail. Stick to the question and don’t veer off the subject. Respond clear, and descriptive. Should not be longer than one minute to answer, but be sure to explain yourself.
2. If you do not know the answer to a question, do not lie. Say, "I don't know the answer to that at this time." or "I don't remember."
3. The answer to many questions will be in the papers that were sent in the petitions. Questions like, "what are your wife's parent's names". They will expect you to know the information given in your petitions. Review everything in your paperwork with your husband before his interview, and do a mock interview to see how the information may be applied.
4. Avoid saying "I think . . .". Women do this a lot. The examiner will expect you to know not be unsure, of your answers. Alwife, avoid adding "umm", "you know" and "ahh" type fillers to your speech.
5. When applicable, don't just state, demonstrate. If the examiner asks a question that can be answered with a document or photograph(s), provide it along with your answer.
For example, if the examiner asks, "What does your family think of your wife?", give them a picture or two with your answer; "They like her very much. Here is a picture of her with my mother at my home."
Or, "How many attended your wedding?" Answer, "(give a number, then say) We have wifeme lovely wedding photos of our guests having fun. Here are a few that I can show you."
6. Give American answers for dates and times. 12/24/07, not 24/12/07.
7. Dress well, but not overdressed.
8. Try to appear calm, well organized, and friendly. Nervousness raises suspicions.
9. Remain focused. If the examiner makes jokes, smile and enjoy, but do not make jokes too.
10. Make proper eye contact when conversing with the examiner, and try to control your own facial expressions assure that your face remains pleasant and cordial.
11. Be audible (means speak up) your examiner doesn't have to ask you to repeat your answers.
12. Organize your papers in a way that will allow you to retrieve them easily and quickly. Examiners appreciate order and someone who doesn't waste their time.
13. When the interview is over, always ask for the results. "What should I now tell my wife about my visa status after our interview?" Before you leave, have them explain any papers they give to you and/or any procedures they will be taking to complete your case. Try to get the examiner's name for future reference, if needed. Write it down. Remember to verify the phone number so they can contact you to pick up the VISA.!@! hurray@@!!!
14. Arrive early to the consulate, but always be prepared to wait for a time past your scheduled interview appointment time. Be careful of thieves around the consulate if you have to carry cash. Bring ID; you cannot enter without it.
CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY TO ANYTHING!

I feel another take out meal, hot bath, good book and glass of wine are in order.

Yeh I totally agree everyone is free to speak, but I don't want to try and say anything now to lift anyone's spirits because I seem to be not doing that job by saying anything with optimism. 
 
I truly just want people not to be sad about the process and think of all the wonderful things after.
 
Just to think more about the happier side to the K1 and the reason we started it...

You know what guys? I have decided to enjoy this process. Yes, it sounds weird but the truth is that we’ll be soon moving to another country. We’ll be leaving family, friends, jobs, routines, favorite places and all behind! Why not enjoy all that while we can? I know that we all want to be with our significant other as soon as possible and that we want to get married and start a family; but the truth is that we’ll also start missing our previous lifes, which is totally normal. Changes are great but also difficult and there’s ab adaptation period to everything. So I have decided to make the most out of this wait! So instead of having a memory of a painful wait I want to have a memory of me enjoying all my love ones here and my favorite places and stuff I like and take care of me! I’m getting married and I want to look and feel great on my wedding day! So during this long wait I’ll be eating healthier, exercising and taking good care of my skin: let’s pamper ourselves! ❤️ We need to do this for us and for our significant other! 👏🏼👏🏼💕 but please don’t take me wrong USCIS, this doesn’t mean you can keep taking your sweet time! Please help us a little! 🙃 I pray for all of us! 🙏🏼💕🌸

See I told you! Lol 
They are crazy and full of bullshit. But we need them so if a uscis personall is reading this and you have my case..I dont mean you 😁

I am using a co - sponsor for the I-134. Would we need an original copy of the birth certificate to present at the interview or could we use a scanned photocopy for evidence of US citizenship? Our interview is in London
