Has everybody here from October got their NOA2?

Case tracker. 

Hey everyone! Just received my NOA2 dated May 23rd stating that “my case has been transferred to my local field office and nothing more is required of me at this time.” I am already in the U.S. with my spouse so this is the latest update I’ve received on my I-130. My pd was October 02nd 2017 at TSC. Best of luck everyone and just remember to be patient.

I am not 100% certain, but I don't think this has anything to do with USCIS account creation. I submitted G-1145 with my I-130 and I am assuming this is why they send me email notifications: https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145 

PD OCtober 30th TSC still waiting. 

MY DAY HAS FINALLY COME TOO! 
 
I-130 SENT: 10/04/2017
NOA1 : 10/10/2017
NOA2: 05/03/2018
 
it popped out on the new website today only (no email, old website and apps did not update)
 
For those of you still waiting, i know it's hard but you're a day closer to approval  
God bless you all

This is my take on the whole process Valentina.  You have thousands of petitions sent in every month and just like regular mail, not every petition arrives at the same time.  There's 2 lockbox and between those 2 lockboxes, those petitions get distributed between 3 main Service centers. Nebraska, Texas, and Potomac.  So maybe your petition arrived at Nebraska after someone else's that filed after you.  I don't think they process in any particular order.  I think they just have a stack that they work off of and whichever one is on top is the one they grab and maybe yours is at the bottom of that stack.  You just have to be patient and try to keep your mind off of waiting for your petition to be approve.  It's coming, just go fishing or something in the meantime.  Hope you get it soon.   

We got RFE too.. thank God we’re done with that stage already! I’m asking for estimated time, though I know it’s quite difficult coz it’s case to case basis and due to a lot of factors, but considering everything will work out fine, I hope 3 months is all we have to wait from the time that NVC received our case to its completion 🙏

RFE received today. May 2. 
PD OCT 31 Nebraska Service Center. 

Congratulations to all of you who are already get their approval.
 
When I got the notification that our case was sent to the Potomac Service Center I thought it was a blessing. Today I am desperate. But also I pray that we can have our NOA2 very soon. In any case good luck and I am delighted to see other people join their family while waiting for our turn.

Logged into the new USCIS site this morning, and Bam!  We were approved yesterday 4/23!!  I didn't get any sort of email or text notification, and USCIS app still shows in "received" status....So like other people have said, make sure you all are checking the new website! 

PD 30th filer, will have info update in first/second week of May , keep calm and watch football. 

Well it's an indicator where in October they are ...the most recent date that is.

En la pagina oficial de USCIS dice que van en Mayo, pero ya hay gente reportando aprobaciones que fueron recibidas por USCIS en Octubre.
Tienes que actualizar tu timeline en esta pagina para que te de un estimado de la fecha en que te daran tu aprobacion y tambien te dira los pasos y documentos que siguen.

Yes, right here on Visajourney from people's timelines. You should fill-in yours as well, it really helps!

What an awesome way to start the weekend!!

so my case tracker app which had been very quiet list lit up with a bunch of updates (it had not been updating).  Bunch of updates about october 1 - 12 Potomac cases approved, some transferred, some RFEs over the past couple of weeks. There is one case which October 16th which is  got approved a couple of days ago!!! SOO CLOSE!!! (My PD is 17th)

Hello Jesus, 
Please update your timeline, it helps you because it gives you an estimate of when your process is completed and lets you know what the next requirements in your process are.
Also helps the website to calculate the timeframes so the rest of us can have an idea how long the whole process takes. 
 
Best regards.

A December PD got sent to the DOS today!!!

All the ladies and gentlemen in the house personally victimized by Nebraska, please raise your hands!  o/ o/ o/ o/! 
 
What can I say  When we got sent there in February of last year and I read how it was slowing down, I couldn't have known how horrible it was truly  going to be. 
I knew it would take us surely over 6 months,  so 7. Then we hit 8, sure. Then 9, Then 10. I was about to lose all hope when we finally got approved after 10 and a half months,  just before the year ended (and with it my sanity) I was so relieved! 
 
The good news is, it was a (hopefully) temporary issue as mentioned. There were a LOT of new filers in November 2016, a combination of the fee increase and change of presidency (many of us suspect these are the two main factors) and it threw the system off balance, but apparently, it only truly affected Nebraska and the lucky ducks stuck there. Why they didn't divide the workload amongst other centers is beyond me. Some except Potomac did fall a little behind, but they kept  consistently approving cases in the 6-8 month range. *shrug* 
 
NVC is now backlogged logically, and it will keep getting backlogged for a while, which is now creating an avalanche and hurting people from other centers. I'd say it surprises me that NVC didn't do anything to prepare for something they literally saw and had coming, but eh, USCIS didn't either. Why would it be any different? Just be thankful most countries aren't like Mexico, we still have 3-4 months to go even AFTER case complete at NVC. Yeah. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I received mine on 3/21 but only cause of financial expedite... I do believe that they will process October soon though 🙏🏾

Hello everyone,
 
We received our approval from Potomac this morning.
 
Filing/Receipt Date: Oct 05, 2017
NOA2 Approval: April 11, 2018
 
Hope this information helps.

October 18, in Texas. Still waiting, but enjoying hearing all the recent activity, its giving me some hope. Sounds like it should be very soon for me. 
I did get the good news that my son (born in the Philippines 11/2017) got his US Passport. So... now just waiting for my wife, so we can all be together

Sure I will!
