Emmandis

Next shipment  out to embassies is May 28th the last one for May,  congrats to all the new approvals.

SOOOOOO........... We got noa2 on  the 14th i thought i was using the new site and found the new site link on here and I signed up there  and  there it was!!!!! So on to the next step and thanks again for all your sport this whole time

I posted a link to thread for those who have received or about to receive their NOA2's where there is a PDF file that gives you this information. Even down to the 1,2,... choices for calling USCIS. Lots of other tips, tricks and hacks to use. It's up about 3-4 post on this page "May 2019 NOA2..."

Thanks, I've also seen late Feb Filers get NOA2 but I'm still at no word from any notice via Snail mail, old site, new site, apps lol.. no updates. I'll try those numbers later today.  Thanks.

Hi! I called 1(800) 375-5283. The menu options that I chose were 1, 2, 7, 9, 4, 6. ...I likely went in circles but I found it a little tough to figure out how to get a live person. Once I knew I was on hold for an operator I took a screenshot of the numbers I dialed to get there. Lol.  I hope you're able to reach someone that can tell you something!

I have tried to patiently wait after seeing late February filers be approved! We were approved!
 
NOA 1: 2/5/2019
NOA 2: 5/15/2019
 
I didn’t receive an email or text. The new website updated but the old one still says received. 

Yaaaaaaay! We got approved on May 14. The new website has just updated. So happy! Can't believe it, and can't wait to tell my fiance. It's too early in the US  Will keep my fingers crossed for everyone here. Fingers and toes  

Sooo... I decided to call the USCIS just to see what would happen. Waited on hold about 25 minutes. I thought I would get "fussed at" for calling without any unique question other than a status update. Lol. The gentleman was very friendly & congratulated us and said it just so happens that we were approved 5/13 (YESTERDAY) and our NOA2 letter should arrive within 10 days. We're thrilled! 
(...BTW he said the website(s) should currently reflect our approved status... of course the old and new still say "Case Received". ...No emails & no text notifications either.)

Congratulation!! I have been following y'all's timeline as you filed roughly the same time as I and my fiance. Hoping for news soon!

That's great news 🤩 I'm going to get my fiance to call when he gets off work lol I've began to develop a twitch as the days go by without an updated status lol congratulations again 👍

Did you even read the post!? 
I did not ‘just’ marry with no mention of adjusting, I had COMPLETED the AOS pack with a signed check on time but I made the monumental error of waiting for my husbands 1099 tax form to be resent to the correct address. This meant I was just over two weeks late after also having issues with my marriage licence going awol directly after the wedding, I had proof of both issues. I was trying to go through the ‘proper channels’ as I had the whole K1 process.
 
I have just served 5 weeks in jail, I am now fully aware of my mistake here of not realising the I94 was what I should have been looking at, not the steps of the K1 on USCIS which did not imply filing in he 90 days, only marrying.
 
I had not been on Facebook seeking legal advise as someone implied either, I came out of jail and looked up the sources of what I know is now dangerous bad information, such as VisaJourney, and included it in the post to simply warn others. Visa Journey BTW stand by the fact you CAN file after 90 days, yes you probably can but if you show your id to law enforcement you could be in my unfortunate shoes which is very distressing and upsetting. 
 
At the end of the day, noone is going through this but me, I am trying to warn others and not looking for sympathy. I feel bad enough as it is that this has happened when I thought I had done everything right. I know numerous people who filed after 90 days without issue but none have had to show ID to encounter the consequences, the consequences we know know are jail. 
 
I filed my completed AOS through the court last week with amendments by the lawyer to say I now overstayed and had been arrested. The signed document I had completed was used with dates within the 90 days as I had fully intended to post it but waited on the tax form. I was not actively looking to overstay as many are implying. 
 
I have been to the US over 17 times and never overstayed during my relationship, I understand most ‘mumbo jumbo’ on the forms and on USCIS website, but I am still not seeing a clear part on USCIS about the I94 expiration date and the K1 and this was my downfall. I am not the only one to misinterpret this reading elsewhere. 
 
I am not replying to many more posts on here, I feel bad enough right now and was simply warning others to make sure they file in 90 days no excuses. Just send it even if you will get an RFE as I wish I had as it has cost me EVERYTHING. There is not more to this story as others have implied either, i was not driving, I was not committing any crime, I have no criminal record, I am just unlucky to have showed my documentation when asked. 
 
Jail in the US is no joke. ICE did their job which will delight some people commenting and I agree with them, I have also however spoken to real people detained for being illegals with NO paperwork or any visa and have changed my own opinions on that. Some of the reasons people come to the US are horrific, I understand a little more as to why those people are risking their lives to do so but in my case I moved for love and was doing what I thought was the right thing or I would not have had an approved K1 to enter on in the first place. 
 
I hope noone else has to go through anything like this, I am not perfect and make mistakes and some it seems are larger than others! 
 
 
 
 
 

Thank you! No text or email, just the letter. My fiance has the info for checking online, but I don't since I knew if I did I'd be checking it constantly. 

Congratulations! Did you get a text/email notification? Is the old/new website updated?

As far as I can tell, the country of the beneficiary has little or no influence on the process at the petition stage (there's very weak evidence that high-fraud and high security risk countries are marginally slower), though it's hard to show. The Philippines is such a large percentage of cases that they almost have to on average move pretty close to the average speed (at least just going by VJ timelines, other countries tend to get drowned in small sample size effects where one or two really fast or slow cases skews the average a lot;  the UK, which has a pretty high number of filers every month compared to most non-PI countries, has months where they're faster than average and months where they're slower -- and that's a country you'd think would always be faster than average, because it's very low-fraud, English-speaking, and has relatively good relations with the US).
 
So why do lots of people think cases from there move faster? It's because there are so many more cases that there are more outliers on the fast side, and you're seeing them now. But a lot of the 'normal-speed' approvals (January filers now) have Filipino beneficiaries too, and so do a lot of the 'slow' ones (Dec 2018 and earlier).

We're February 7th NOA1 as well. This can be overwhelming because we just don't KNOW when the approval will come. We're elated that the predictions for NOA2 are not trending near August like they were when we initially filed. We're just focusing on doing everything that we can to prepare, like refreshing our understanding of all the steps to come. I feel that time will fly by once we get our NOA2 and our case goes through the NVC and embassy. ...we're so busy, we may actually end up wishing we had MORE time in hindsight! Lol. When I get anxious, I pass my time by shopping for matching lamps and nightstands. Lol. 😆... Hang in there!
