I have nothing valuable to add.
 
I just want to say that omg this is killing me. Went into this thinking the processing times could be 3-6 months and the worst case scenario processing time is unfolding.
 
Going to see my fiancee this weekend for the first time since filing at least.

Fiance just left back to US and it’s breaking my heart. I hope we get our approvals soon. This wait is killing me...

It is killing me too.... We saw each other in January and will be together in 17 days (for just a week), but those 3 months ... man ... Haven't been so difficult. Every time we say goodbye to each other is more and more and more difficult than the last one... DO NOT LIKE THIS! I really wish the system and this whole process is faster and better organized. But on the bright side - we are almost done with this... Lots of love to all of you! 

Please everyone...just take a deep breath...
 
I am a November filer and this forum has been composed to be a safe haven. I understand, that emotions and tensions are running high, but we are here (I am here) to gain knowledge, encourage, and help one another through this journey. I am saddened to read of this discourse. Don't let one persons words cause this much angst.
 
Let's just breath....move forward...and focus on the prize of spending the rest our life with the one we love.
 
Be blessed.
 

Hey guys what's going on here? I'm reading in August, September and October forums too (not from the starting) and never noticed such a rough tone. We are sitting in the same boat so please keep being nice to each other. We are here to help each other not for trolling!

Personally I expect mine to be 10 days before vj estimation.
 
i dont know about each person but yes I do think november will start at least 175 days for nov.1 cases..
 
it may go even lower. It went lower than July for August by 2 days. And if September starts around it's 180-185. It's not impossible for this pattern to continue. But it doesn't mean everyone will eat their noa2s right on spot.
 
i would still think +- 10 days from vj estimations.

***unless you get Mr. Bean as an adjudicator (Yes, I've named the Nov 16th rogue). Then you have about 1 month to lose 20 lbs for your wedding dress and you needed to sell the house yesterday. 

^ this is solid gold 
 
i  thought I was the only one giving weird names to everything...😂😂😂

Maybe someone at USCIS’ first day on the job?  *Laughter turns to tears*

Hellloooooo Everyone,
 
For August, I know it feels like things around the corner.
And it is almost, but to give you and everyone a brief look on how things are going.
 
Monthly situation;
        June      July       Aug      Sept      Oct       Nov       Dec       Total Approved 1398 459 13 6   1   1877 Touched 1050 356 139 129 128 67 28 1897 Virgins 1221 2595 3519 3176 3770 3304 3297 20882 Excluded 372 386 404 287 244 205 184 2082 Total 4041 3796 4075 3598 4142 3577 3509 26738  
So we do think June is way ahead of what it looks like especially the virgin numbers, but we do have in vj at least 30 people waiting their noa2s in June.
for July I do also believe we have more approvals than it appears, because there were dates that show no approval updated, yet we know people are getting  their noa2s. (we had lots of that today too!)
 
The latest date that barely touched in July is July 24
 
 However,we still have lots of early Julies waiting. So they still do have more to go. 
I personally expect the July overall to be done next week, and then one more week for July to have its fire.
And this would be the time for June to wrap up, so they can move to August. (my expected due date for August is second week of Feb. alllll fingers crossed)
 
In February USCIS is going to update their website, which will hopefully show "July 1 as of November 31" which would be the touch for Juners to start inquiries and them to move to August.
 
About NVC times
With some irregularities still occurring, NVC almost got back to its normal 2 weeks timeline.
If any delays again occur we will again start to track it!
 
For now Good luck to all of us!

I’m on my way stateside Thursday morning (I’m the Canadian alien👽). First trip over since engaged and since our application went in. 
I’ve got my NOA1 receipt, a letter from my employer stating how long I’ve worked at my current job, my dates of leave, and that I will be scheduled to work upon my return, paystubs, a current statement from my provincial medical, a bank statement, my itinerary (return ticket), my apartment lease and my tax returns from last year. 
I’ll let you all know how it goes.
Pray for me! 

Thank you! That’s good peace of mind  hope you have a great trip This Saturday!
