MY NOA2 WAS APPROVED APRIL 30. I have my official notice arriving in the mail today. No email, the app doesn't have an update and the new website still showed that we were waiting as of last night. This morning it was updated.
 
I'm so dizzy I don't know what I'm supposed to do next. YOU GUYS WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NEXT? omg. We're approved. It took 319 days from NOA1.

Alright, here's the results of the full scan from tonight. I wouldn't call this significant movement, however, it could be a good indicator more November cases will start being processed. I will check the scans daily. I was really expecting the first movement to be a bunch of Withdrawals, and we haven't seen that yet.

Great News guys! I just did a mini-scan of 11/17 (partial) and saw 3 Approvals and an RFE today. I'll do the full scan in a few hours and we'll see! 
 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just ran a FULL scan, and there has not been a single update since the scan I ran on Friday, which included only 3 updates in that previous week even, and none of them were approvals. The last approval I have for a November case occurred on 3/30, yes March 30th. Since then only 4 cases have been finalized. 2 were withdrawals and 2 were denials from that weird 11/16 date that saw some strange movement.
 
I can only conclude that they HAVE NOT started on November cases yet.
 
It could be that the few posts mentioned they were approved are seeing a 11/1 Submitted Date, but they really have a 10/31 or other October RECEIVED date. The scans use the "old" website data, which use the RECEIVED date, the date your application was received by USCIS. The "new" website uses SUBMITTED data, which has generally been 1-4 days later. 
 
It's also possible updates aren't being made and will be applied retroactively in a few days.
 
Nevertheless, I'll keep checking every day! Hang in there guys! 

Just wanted to update everybody who has been waiting for so long. Received text this AM that I-129F was approved on 4/27/18. (NOA1 was 11/1/17)

I am holding my passport and my visa.
The big, sacred envelope... It's. In. My. Hands. 
 
This whole process has now just punched me in the feels. It's done. 😐
 
More goodbyes today to people I will probably never see again. Gonna be a tough one. 😭

Hello Everyone!
 
Finally finished with January to March! And cleaned it up and everything  
 
I will lastly try to wrap up April before I leave for Turkey in May!
 
So here goes recent numbers first :
 
 Please note that days with little to no approval update has Silent NOA2s. 
Lately most silent noa2s are updated ONLY on the new website.
Please check for personal status updates on both websites; new website usually has backdated updates to the previous day around 4am-6am PST the next day! 
Old website, same info as apps: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
New website need to log in: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov

Monthly Situation:
 
 For newcomers: 
   Excluded are the cases nobody needs to think about here. (Rejected at the beginning)
   Approvals on non-active months are 99% expedite cases (yes we do have a weird happening in November for only cases on November 16... don't know why, don't know how...unless you want to believe you'll be that 1 out of 4000 and get disappointed I would suggest going with the obvious logic)
   Touched means the case is no longer has the "case received" status..something updated like name or birthdate or address, or got an rfe.... 
   Virgin are cases that are "never been touched" (and yes it is all about Like a Virgin cause it still rings in my head) so simply "case received". But I got so tired of seeing case received on the website... I am not using that! 
   Cases that looks "Virgin" in previous months other than Active
    Not all cases get updated on the old site, this number (same as "Case tracker app" numbers) will only show those. June had plenty of cases that got Silent NOA2s and we are still having them highly. I suggest cutting at least 30-40% of Virgin cases to guess real numbers. However, this does not mean nobody is waiting from these months, Even just on VJ we have friends still waiting from June. 
  Every case is different and not all cases with the same date will be adjudicated at once.
 
  Monthly Numbers:
 
Active Month : October
Last date touched : October 26th (Received date)
Expected November start : April 26 - 27  
* December cases are not total due to validation errors. I would expect an extra 200-300 cases on the month. 
   This is also the reason why December cases are not up to date. If your case had validation error and it resolved please let me know.

February Cases Per Dates :
 

they are working on OCT 30th you guys!!! So far only seeing RFE's, but they are getting closer to us

On the topic of making time go faster, I have started reading a lot more, and trying some new things. Skills I want to acquire, and why not now? When spring finally arrives, I can move some plants in my yard. And I check the prognosis of our visa occasionally. I rarely check the USCIS webpage but Dee does. - Runn3r

Hey guys!
So today we had a notification from informed delivery - the envelope from USCIS with page 1of 1)) 
And the status on the site and app is still rfe was mailed, so @Naes you were right. Thank you! 

Hello all!! Long time lurker first time poster. So excited to announce that we got our NAO2 on 4/19/18 with an NOA1 of 10/23/17 while I was here with my fiancé in India!! What a special treat! Hang in there everyone,  I know it’s hard but keep holding strong 💗 love will light the way. 

Hi guys, I won't be posting the full day scan because there wasn't much movement since the mid-day scan, just 4 more RFE's, 1 Name Updated and 1 Response to RFE Received. More to come tomorrow! 

I'm doing Friday night scans right now until we see movement on November cases, and then I'll switch to daily scans.
 
I did a mini scan today of the first 10 days worth and only 2 cases have been touched since my last run on the 13th. One was an RFE and one was a withdrawal, and it's probable the RFE was a case that got expedited.
 
Typically we will see a lot of withdrawals processed right before they get started on the month.
 
Given they've now started on the last week of October, I anctipate when I run the 4/27 scan that we'll start to see those withdrawals come through.
 
I will still do a full scan tomorrow night and report back on the results. Hang in there all, let's just be supportive for the June - October folks who are still getting or waiting on their approvals, and have by now been waiting longer than us. Our time is coming though!!! 

and approved. cautiously optimistic until i get the letter in the mail and i know we have a service request on our case that is pending, but feels like a huge weight was lifted.  a very long 260 days.

Today I got approve 😁 hope everyone enjoys with waiting time be patient. Thank vj memb

Guys. It was an acknowledgment of our address changing, that we changed about 2 months ago. The address that they’ve already sent our RFE too. Bloody annoying.

@naes your correct 😃😀😆😍🤗🤣😃😄😅😂😊😉🤗
We are approved!!!! 

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 
I checked the new site and saw:

Okay! Now for the rest of you! Any day now!  Do not lose hope!
My fiancee is fast asleep--can't stand the thought of waiting until morning to tell her!
 
I am having a good day.  In an 90 minutes, my 80-year-old father is getting married.  The family is all together for the first time in YEARS.  We will be celebrating this wedding this evening.  Now I have something even better to celebrate at the same time!!!!
 
Wow.

@oldowan Out of curiosity, have you created an account on the new site to see what it says there?
 
https://my.uscis.gov/account/applicant
 
Just curious if we're still getting truly silent NOA2s or if the silent ones on the old site / app are showing up on the new site.

Long time lurker here. We got approved! I am just so happy right now. Best news to wake up to. 😭 My fiance is still at work so I dont think he knows yet.
