We got an email and text message at 3:40 AM that said they took action our case. I logged in and found out we were approved!!! It's such an amazing feeling after waiting 198 days.  Our NOA1 (old website) was Nov. 2nd. (No updates on the old website). I'm just posting it now cause I was waiting for my fiance to get home so to tell him. He's started crying tears of joy!!! It's about time!!!!! 
I've been following the visa journey threads daily since USCIS was working on May filers and as I constantly stalked the threads I learned how the system worked. It was sooooo disappointing when they finally got to November and things just went differently for us. But over the past couple weeks as we were waiting, we learned a lot. USCIS has slowly stopped using the old website and are focusing on the new. So the scans that we so highly rely on everyday (And thanks to @x_driven_x for taking the time to do them) are starting to become irrelevant. I'm sure there are waaay more approvals than we know but we're just not seeing them. We'll start to understand how the new site works in time but it'll probably be more beneficial to future months. Anyway, what I'm trying to say to everyone is be patient and hopeful. You're approval is coming!! 
 
 

Thank you for those who helped scanning cases, created charts and answered all sorts of questions..really helpful and much appreciated! I have been following this thread since March and now feeling anxious and excited at the same time!!
 
NOA1: Nov 9th, 2017, new site is Nov 11th.
 
192 days here...I agree that Nov cases are weird and now I just need to accept the fact that my date is stuck in the middle as they started mid Nov and now back from the front..im still optimistic about it and sure all of our Nov applicants will be eventually approved soon! 
 
Not all the couples will be experiencing it but for the ones who did, I’m sure their bonds will be even closer and will treasure each other even more after marriage. If you want to see the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.🌈 good luck to everyone!!
 
 

I scanned the first 10% of our cases and saw 9 approvals so far today

So i just called USCIS and spoke to a Tier 2 officer as im extremely frustrated... very interesting phone call basically to cut it short and simple i spoke to her about their website stating that they process cases in order received.. Which she replied thats correct.  I then replied well if that is the case please explain to me how people at the end of November are being approved before the beginning and how 2 cases before and after our case have been approved.
 
She then said how do you know this information. I told her that we are on a forum and on Facebook and people post their WAC numbers and there is an app that scans for WAC numbers and that it lists them with approvals and dates of approvals.  So then she started typing and seemed very shocked that we was aware of this happening and did not really have much to say... Think we caught them out at their little game  

191 days today, complete with emotional break down this AM 
 
Though I did just run a mini-scan near my WAC and there was an RFE update on one case from 11/8. That’s the first movement I’ve seen during mini scans so far, so hopefully it’s the start! 

Not yet, 188 days, 12 hours and 20 minutes. NOA1 November 10th, 2017

USCIS is not combing your Visa Journey posts or even social media unless they have a serious reason to go investigate fraud. 

Congratulations 🎉

Positive vibes for early November approvals today and for everyone else waiting!!!

Positive vibes for early November approvals today and for everyone else waiting!!!

We just got approved omg
 
NOA1 old:11/3, new:11/7
NOA2 : 05/17
 

New site updates around 4am to 7 am mostly with the previous day’s date.
 
old site is during office hours. 

They messed up november even worse than other months tho... they are jumping to the middle of the month. Half of the month started way later...
 
I don’t even have words for November cases...

I feel the same I am very happy for those that have their approval my anger is with USCIS as they claim offically that "We generally process cases in the order we receive them".  But we know that's a load of b#llsh#t
 
No if by next week November filers don't  beginning getting the majority of focus I'm going to speak with a few members of Congress as it's unacceptable.

Yes. That's correct. They are not part of the scans.

Just did a (single set of 500) mini scan using the phone app, starting with November 1, already see 4 approvals today. I think it's going to be a good day.

I've been so busy because i am looking after my 2 year old newphew for the past 5 days. In the meantime, I've been reading everyone's comments. It's always disappointing to see such low numbers and barely any approvals in the scan. I've noticed Monday's are usually like that and then Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday..there is more movement. However,  because of the new website we are not seeing much movement because it's private. Please don't give up hope and keep fighting. Because a feeling of accomplishment and relief is worth it at the end. Still hoping and praying for you all. 💜💜🤞🤞🤞
 

Hey everybody!
 
I've been lurking for awhile and just thought I'd post since reading a post in this thread just encouraged me to check the new website. I don't know if it's helpful for others to know, but just in case
NOA1: 11/24 old site, 11/29 new site
NOA2: 5/14 new site
 
No updates on the old site, no text, no email.
 
I'm sorry to everyone that's been waiting longer than us, but your time has to be coming soon. I'm sure of it!

Already seeing quite a few approvals today!! *fingers crossed* it’s going to be a good day!!

just did a scan around my number and seen 3 approvals for the 1st of Nov. 

Hi there, not sure this helps but I've been following this blog and she also filed I-129F in November, and got approved on May 12th. Her NOA1 date is Nov 7th. Sending positive vibes   

NOA1: November 1st (old website); November 3rd (new website)
NOA2: May 11th
Notification: old website (no updates on the new site, no email and/or any text alerts)
Still cannot believe!!! I can barely type since I'm still shaking after the great news!!

Wishing all the November filers the best of luck!! I’m a December filer. For me, i don’t just think about the waiting. It’s exciting!!!! On day 136. Would I do 136 days over again? Hell yes, for my man I would and I’d triple that or more if required. He’s changed my life and brought devine pure happiness. 
 
Fate has its time worked out for me. It’s so easy to become fixated on scans and become a little impatient and narky as it is a long waiting period. However, stepping away from the ‘paper and electronic process’ it’ll happen when it’s ready. Tiocfaidh ár lá 🍀❤️🍀
