Congratulations!  
Hopefully they start working on august 2021 soon, our NOA1 is august 23/21.

CONGRATULATIONS. I AM HOPEFUL!!!

Congratulations!
 
I'm 4 days behind you so you're giving me some hope. The days feel like weeks.

Congrats!!!

Welp, there it is...we just got approved!!! 423 days. NOA1 7/19/21, NOA2 9/15/22.
 
Wishing everyone else the best of luck! And we are happy to answer questions if anyone has them.
 

I agree with you. I think that is what they are doing. I am July 20 and I have seen July 14 approvals so I am very hopeful. My document was extremely detailed, so I am really not expecting any RFEs, taking a leap of faith here

I just did a small, informal study of time between NOA1 and NOA2 for a handful of July '21 filers who recently received their NOA2 and these are the times I found (in days):
 
424
426
426
426
426
427
432
432
 
Ako and I are currently at 423 days. I'm gonna place a casual bet on Monday for our approval...
 
It seems like they are doing everything they possibly can to get people approved by the 14-month mark. They are not changing the wait estimate on the USCIS website from 13.5 months. (Obviously, they are still lying and it's more like 14 months.)
 
They must have reached a tipping point where they feel they absolutely cannot let the estimate get any bigger. So my guess is they are desperately trying to get the estimate to slow down, stop, and turn it around so they can finally start working to meet the projected September '23 goal of 6 months.

Case approved today! 
NOA1: 13 July 2021 (range 111000) 
NOA2: 12 September 2022 (426 days later) 
No RFE

congrats fellow USA-Serbia couple!
 
 

Noa1 9th July

If I could I would share this good feeling with all the couples still waiting, to encourage you and keep you strong till your day comes. Nobody outside this process can really understand what we are going through and how it feels.
Special thanks to all the people doing daily updates. I've been actively (midly put) reading and following since January, one long journey I'm happy to finish. Good luck guys!
 

Congratulations !!! I’m happy for you ! I hope , I will have same feeling one day!!! 

So I saw this status and almost started crying again. Went to case tracker to find my case number range and BOOM, the alert pops up and then tells me our case was approved! Halleluyer! Finally! We are July 1 Filers and it's about dang time.

Hey Everyone!
Here it is, the moment we've all been waiting for! What was in the back of our mind all holiday weekend "are we going to get a monster day on Tuesday?" and the answer is.... drumroll please...
 
Yes!

We have officially surpassed June as most amount of cases being worked on per day. 

I've been preparing incase of an RFE - getting all forms and documents ready. I've been making sure my fiance is prepared for his medical exam, he knows who to call, where to go, what to bring, what might be asked and what vaccines he will need. We are also slowly making plans for traveling for his visa interview, plans for him traveling to the US and even thoughts about our wedding. I think it's good to plan ahead as much as possible - it helps manifest! ✨✨✨

More waiting ahead after getting NOA2, but in the meantime just making sure we have other details like making sure my fiancé renewed her passport (done) so that when it's time to go she can go. Asked her to start planning now for anything she needs to take care of when it's time to leave her home country. Think about what will come with her, what will stay behind, where her belongings she is leaving behind will go, what stuff she will give away. Also having her gather any important records she may need once she is here like school records, work history, work references etc., all things that might come in handy once she is in the US. 

Happy RFE Saturday!

As we are all waiting for approvals this month. Can somebody explain what are the next steps in the process once we get the approval. Is there anything that we can prepare for or better understand on our end. Waiting is extremely hard so I figured it might make sense to prepare for the next steps just to use the time

Let's keep the faith! They have just started July, by the end of September most of us would have been approved already! We're seeing the finish line, guys! 

I second that, as do so many others. Thank you very much for the time you put into this. It is extremely helpful. 🔥🙌

These daily updates are much appreciated!! Thank you!

Hey All, 
Sorry for the delay, I had some issues scanning tonight. Finally got it done, but it was a real slow process and a pain in the butt.
