OMG!!!! FINALLY GOT APPROVED!!!
NOA1: Feb 1st
NOA2: Nov 16th
 
I was frustrated because my noa1 was feb 1st and whenever I saw someone posted that they got noa2 but applied k-1 after us, I almost cried. 
Hope things are getting faster to everyone!!!

Yay!!!!edit: sorry meant for the approval lol 

Approved just now 😊 Feb 24 noa1, no RFEs. 

You can only contact the Ombudsman 60 days after the date your case is out of processing time - someone from Feb tried to do so before and they were told they can’t do anything. I might contact my representative if I don’t hear anything this week or I don’t see movement with other cases. 

27th and 28th were Saturday and Sunday so assume anyone who came in around then would have been put in the March pile. 

I submitted one the day before it was officially “out” and got a regular response so you might as well try! Good luck!

Yes, I believe it’s same day. Processing hasn’t stopped though - last Wednesday they processed 60+ cases. They are just behind in their stated processing times ie. my NOA1 is Feb 26 and going by their times I should have my NOA2 by now but I don’t. They are going back and processing early Feb cases, like Feb 1 filers. It is very disheartening but hopefully they manage to catch up in the coming weeks, or else the average wait will be 8 months plus

Haha exactly! Let’s hope for another good day!

Putting out good vibes for more approvals today! Good luck everyone! 💥

Congratulations!! Amazing news!!!

Just an update: my case was approved a few moments ago!!! 🥳🥳🥳NOA1 February 24, NOA2 November 10. Keep waiting guys, they are making some progress!!!! This group has helped  keep me going! Thank you so much for listening to all my complaining! 

So I contacted Ombudsman... They sent me a reply today saying "We understand your concerns. Although your receipt date is past the receipt date inquiry on the USCIS processing time site, the Ombudsman office cannot move forward unless your receipt date is 60 days past the receipt date for a case inquiry. Because of the 60 day protocol, our office will be closing this matter. "
 
So I guess I have to wait until my case is 60 days past outside normal processing time. By then, they will probably have changed the processing times  Sucks. Everyone wants to deny help when we are all just trying to be with our loved ones and plan our weddings.

No, I saw it on a Facebook group! But that makes sense, lots of people are confused with the 2 dates. So do you mean they usually begin the next month but continue to process at least some of the current month as well? Thanks for your help btw!

Thank you so much. This is really helpful and helps to calm my nerves that my case isn’t being “left behind”!

Today whilst "working" I have created another chart for the data from last week to make it easer to see the case ranges they are processing.
 

 
As you can see most cases processed last week was in the range from 53500- 54999 then with a few older/newer ones added in. 

Sorry for all the graph spam but hope it helps people to have a clearer picture of what's going on :)

Can find this graph as well on the spreadsheet which will tell you how many have been processed in each group if you're interested in the actual numbers of each. 

Updated the Chart today. All days 30+ cases processed and even had back to back weeks of cases being worked on Saturday!  
 

 
Ignore the Monday 8th Nov due to that not being all cases for today added yet so expect that to be higher next week.
 
As ever all this can be found on the spreadsheet that Gail and Derrick have linked

Oh yes we do! She didn’t give any news, we had already submitted an inquiry online so were just seeing if they would say we aren’t out of normal processing time. Last night I got an email with a very generic reply saying they can’t give a timeline. Again, not disputing that it is out of processing time. So stressed about this and hoping for an update soon!

Not sure if I’m posting correctly but I just called and enquired about my case, NOA1 Feb 26, and she said it was outside normal processing time without me even prompting.
 
Edited to add Feb 26 is the listed “received” dats, the notice date is in April.
