Hmmm must be where our file is and those in November who are still waiting....we are in someone home 🤪 and...:they went on vacation and have not turned in their box. 😭 Just kidding....trying to find humor in all of this. Wishing we were one of the lucky ones 😏. Hoping January filers don’t have to deal with this same torture.
 
December 20 filer and no answer ☹️

Fooling around with the case tracker app.  By trying some different random numbers and hitting one that was right, I was able to see what's going on for December 20.  Looks like about a 10 to 15 percent approved rate so far.  They are still waiting by and large.  (Our date is January 11).

To be honest, we really dont know the whole story, we only know what we have heard from the applicant, it is also possible it could be user error (rfe, Dishonesty, not meeting the requirements, incorrect paperwork or case filed etc)  as to why some are still waiting. 

What happened to USCIS California look like they are didnt work today ???
when look at this today its sad !!! Hope n pray tomorrow will get some approval 
Today is 185 days 

Is it just me or does anyone not look fwd to weekend anymore cuz there is a hold on processing. Hopefully the staff there had an awesome weekend and will get back to work in good mood and ready to slay this coming week with approvals. 

Oh my Lord. I am a January 12 too. More approvals please for all of us January filers. This is getting so exciting.. 

USCIS wake up.........send us January approval we are waiting .....
No vacation for USCIS plz 

Lol! Yeh I told my sister it would be funny if we gave them stripper-esque names. I was just kidding but she ran w/ it. So they are Amber, Candi, Krystal, & Destini. 
I do know lovely ppl with all those names (except Candi - don't know any Candis) 

My fiance arrives June 29th and goes home July 28th!
 
1) I'm a little nervous about him entering the US, I've read horror stories about the border patrol not letting people in who have applied for K1 Visa... 
      He's bringing a copy of his work schedule to show he's scheduled to work. Along with his return ticket is already paid for... All his family is in Sweden, he owns a home (although it's getting ready to be listed for sale soon)
Is this enough?  Should we worry?
 
We're on day 167 and hoping to get our NOA2 while he's here!

That is good evidence that pointes top the fact that he is going to return. I don't expect you will have much of a problem.

I wouldn’t worry at tbh. Not to long ago someone was crossing from Canada to USA. Went thru the checkpoint and when everything was said and done the officer said to them, congratulations on ur k1 visa. It’s been approved. They had no idea it had been approved yet. They were allowed in.
 
remember the visa he has now is a tourist or what ever. It’s not a k1 visa. Sit back and enjoy ur month together. Hopefully 3 months later he will b with u forever. 

Ran a scan during lunch and found 90 approvals had been updated since Friday.

Hi, I'm Camila, I'm from Colombia. My fiance lives in NY, he's from Colombia too. He got American citizenship in Dec/17 and he set the form I-129F in January 8th. We  received the first NOA on January 19th. Now we have 162 days waitting for the NOA 2. Someone from January that has been approved?

Hello everyone. January filer here. I'm the beneficiary, my fiancee is the petitioner. Our file was received on January 29th 2018 and we've just been sitting it out waiting since then.
 
I'm not sure what else to say here. I'm in/from the UK, and frankly I have good days and bad days re: waiting for this thing to be processed. I find myself quite lonely back in the UK, missing her deeply and despite my best efforts not to, I can get drawn into reading all of these random websites, worst case scenarios and horror stories and make myself a bag of nerves. I really need a new hobby. So it's nice to find this community. You all seem really supportive and genuine. I imagine it's what I need.
 
For anybody who's interested, and for the purposes of me rambling, here's a little backstory:
 
She and I met through Facebook in June 2016 and when I say we hit it off immediately, I couldn't be any more truthful about it. Since then it feels like we haven't stopped talking to one another. She is from and lives in Indiana, and by October 2016 I went over there for the first time, and we entered into a proper/full-time relationship. She came to the UK for Christmas and New Year a couple of months later. I went back to Indiana in March 2017 and we got engaged. We already knew that we wanted to spend our lives together and although we knew it would be difficult with the distance (and having zero knowledge of the K1 process then) we felt so strongly about each other that this symbol of commitment to one another was what felt absolutely right.
 
Since then I went back in May 2017, we went to Prague together in July 2017 and in a big move, I went to Indiana from October 2017 to January 2018, and again from February 2018 to May 2018. Now I'm back 'home' and that's about us up to speed.
 
As I'm sure many of you can relate to/will understand, it's the waiting that gets to you. I feel like my life has been on hold for a while now, first with waiting to compile the petition, then compiling it, and now the process itself. Sometimes I just really work myself up into a lather worrying about what can go wrong (I'm a born worrier with an over-active imagination, which is a deadly combination). Ultimately I tell myself that we sent absolutely everything we needed and more. The financials are sound, we sent photos/boarding passes/passport stamps, all of our details are correct and in order. Neither of us have been married before or have children. So it really is a matter of waiting, but as you will all know, there are good days and bad days when it comes to morale.
 
I'm just so keen to move onto this next chapter of my life. We have so many plans for our future, I plan to take up teaching in Indiana and I never thought I would have a connection like I do with her. I feel like a horse waiting for the stable door to open, because I just want to get up and running. The day things are confirmed and ratified will be the happiest of my life (until I get married shortly thereafter!).
 
Anyway, I imagine I'll be around here a fair bit. Thanks for the space to rant/explain etc and I apologise if any of that was boring/needless. I don't really have anyone to talk about the process with here, and I save my fiancee from talking about it too much lest it frustrate her too (and she has her own stresses and busy times back in Indiana).
 
Cheers all, hope to make some good connections here.

169 Days Active!! Getting anxious!

Day 160 today! Only 20 days to 180--hoping for a miracle that they start January before the last day of June! 

So just got that bimonthly email stating they are still working on my case...  But this time it said "We last took action on your case June 5th 2018".... I haven't done anything like a change of address or anything like that.... Could this mean they are starting to work on January cases? Or just a weird fluke the means nothing?
