I'm sorry to hear that. That's why I am not putting any expectations from these people. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. They are just unorganized, incompetent agency. It's sad, because we cannot do anything. We are at the mercy of their hands. You're lucky if you got approved before they moved on to the next month, because if they missed you, like they missed out case, God knows when they will get to check our case again. We are like the forgotten people. I'm sorry to be a downer today.

Oh, I hope you are right. Because the word "torture" is an understatement. I hope you will also get your approval soon. This is really challenging my sanity lately. I reached out to everybody... my congressman, senators. One senator and one congressman emailed back. But still nothing. They can inquire for us, but it's really up to USCIS if they will work on our case. I feel very helpless.

Following

"new correspondence can be expected shortly" They did not mention a specific time. So, God knows when... since they haven't been approving new cases in the last 3 weeks.

Today, we are 465 days since NOA1. I received a generic reply last Tuesday that my case has been assigned to an officer and is under active review. I say "generic" because I've seen this reply to others who sent out an outside processing tine inquiry. My question is, can I call USCIS again and ask for Tier 2 to check any update?

They did not do much on April and May. Are they moving on to June and July now? i don’t know how much longer I can take this, in 2 days, we will be 460 days waiting. No noa2… nothing. I haven’t heard from uscis and senators. No update from my congressman, that means uscis did not even take a look at our case.

April 2021 filer here. More than 15 months waiting now. No NOA2 yet. It is very hard to stay positive, when I read beneficiaries here in VJ and FB comments saying their beloved are already here. Last week, I was OK. Today, I just had to call out from work because I can't even get out-of-bed. When I have those days like today, I ask my fiancé to be strong for us, because I just can't. I am an immigrant, went through the process from working visa, to green card, to citizenship. But let me tell you, this is the hardest and the longest wait I've had. It really affects our mental health as it is hard to function, especially with my kind of work. I'm not expecting anything from USCIS anymore. But I believe in God, and I believe He has the power to give and take. So I am just asking God to give us our approval, then on to another long wait in NVC.

Thank you! I know the chart was updated last week. But I feel so bad for the 97 cases that are untouched. I mean, I think they will be able to finish that in a week. I don't know why they just forget them. I can't imagine the pain of waiting for any update from incompetent USCIS. It's just beyond me. I pray and pray and pray that I will not be included in the unforgotten statistics of the April 2021 group.

Does anybody have March spread sheet? I'm just wondering how many March or even February 2021 cases left untouched and without any decisions yet. Thank you!

Thanks for the update for the very few of us still waiting for our approval.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! I know you are in the same situation. I have my ups and downs. Last week was ok. This week, not so good. 🙏🙏🙏

We are in the same group. There are still 50 untouched cases. I don't know. I'm going crazy sometimes. I work with people, I am just surprised how my attitude changes whenever I see my patients. But when I'm alone, I just want to scream, cry. I don't know anymore. Maybe I am just over dramatic. I know there's others who waited longer than I do. But that's what I feel.

WOW! They've really moved on. I called USCIS last week and I asked why they haven't approved us yet. She said that they process case-to-case basis in the order that they were received. I asked why there are May, June filers who are approved. The lady, although was nice, just said the same thing. What happened to "IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE RECEIVED" thing???? It's really bullcrap! Forgive my French, but it's disgusting. Honestly, my mental health is affected. My work is affected. My health is affected. Why can't they just work on the cases "IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE RECEIVED??????!!!!!"

LOL! I am laughing then felt very sad about it. How long will they torture us? There's nothing going in the 76500 group again today.

I'm happy for May that they have a lot of movements going today, but I'm pissed of USCIS of doing so, because they have now slowly moved on from April. And I just don't quite understand why they do that. I'm one of the unlucky 200+ untouched cases. I feel like I want to turn to voodoo or something just so they will just do their d@mn job. I'm disgusted with USCIS. There, I said it.

I was so down last 2 weeks and it really affected my work. I even woke dragging my feet because I did not want to get out of the bed. I'm glad you can visit your fiancé often. I can't. I needed more than a week to make that trip and ticket worth it. I wanted to be there for his interview, just an excuse to visit him. But I am saving my PTO to have a very long vacation off when he comes. But hey, don't worry. We will get our approval this week. 😄

I'm part of the 400+ that are untouched. Still patiently waiting and slowly losing it. Every week, my mantra is "We are going to be approved this week." While my fiancé would alway say, "be positive." It works at the first part of the week, then hope drains out towards the end of the week. It's a cycle. I've distanced myself from checking VJ and Facebook April group often because I get frustrated when I see other members who vent their frustrations, and although I am happy for the ones who are approved and I even saw one that actually arrived in the US already, I also get frustrated that we are still waiting for the approval. I just emailed my congressman, and I got the typical response. I am unable to actually ask for help because I am still in the processing time. What a joke. Tomorrow, our case will be 420 days, we have no choice but to wait. We have no power over it. Not even the our good congressmen and senators in the office. I am just praying miracle, I guess.
