No, it's not. Here's our timeline:

 

Mailed USPS (Chicago Lockbox): May 1

Delivered: May 2

Text messages: May 5

Check cashed: May 8

NOAs: May 9-10 (NOAs from NBC, dated May 4)

Online access code: May 11

 

Did you get the text messages with your case numbers? Did the USCIS cash your check/charge your card? Either way, it's still pretty early

We haven’t received any text messages or email with the case number. 
i know it’s early but the package is delivered and it seemed weird to wait that much.

Happy to report w got the access code letter yesterday, 10 days after mailing our application.

 

Will the USCIS really notify us of any updates via email/text as soon as they're available in the portal (e.g. when the biometrics appointment is scheduled), or do we have to keep checking for updates ourselves?

 

On a side note, I've noticed that all the evidence we submitted for all 4 forms including the I-864 was lumped under the I-485 case, and there's no evidence listed under the other cases. Also, a few of my pay slips and my tax return transcripts haven't been scanned. Was curious if others have experienced the same thing.

the access code is the first notification? 
Uscis has received our application on 05.05 but we haven’t heard from them since. Is that normal?

I do not think you can upload additional info for the AOS since it is not filed online that's only with the N400 you can do that.  You have to mail any additional items in. At this point USCIS knows you have limited marital documents. You'd be better off just waiting and deal with the RFE when and if you get one.

I didn’t know the option of filing online existed. 🥹 

Hello everyone !

we have just sent our AOS package yesterday! (Phoenix,AZ)
I hope i will hear something soon 🤞🏽

Did you just check the Visa Status via the Case Number or did you log into https://ceac.state.gov/iv/ with both the case number and Invoice ID number? Curious to know because NVC only sent me the case number and not the Invoice ID number so was wondering if you log into the website with the Invoice Number what does it allow you to do or see? Right now with only the NVC case number you can only check the Visa Status which states "At NVC".

I checked the Visa Status by using the case number and I see the same message. "at NVC" I don't really know how long will it take to be in transit but I will be optimistic and say about 2 weeks. ( I am trying to expedite because my residence permit expires soon. I am informed that the consulate will decide if they can expedite or not. )

I guess invoice number is needed to pay the fee before the appointment. But I am not sure. It's interesting that you didn't receive invoice number. But I am sure if that's a mistake, they will correct it soon.

Thank you for the reply. For K1, please try checking under the "immigrant" visa status check https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

 

Perhaps, others can confirm the link too  

Oh yes. It works. 
I appreciate your help.

Congratulations! When did you send the inquiry? I sent an inquiry early Wed morning and am still waiting for a response.

Did you check the status under "immigrant" or "non-immigrant" options? Try https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

Yes I did. It says it’s a non-immigrant visa but i couldn’t find how to do. 
 

I sent an inquiry on Tuesday by using the form on the website. 

Hello everyone,

Good news !

I just received my case number + Invoice ID number from the NVC today. 

I couldn't log in on the CEAC website. Is it normal ?

"You will be notified once this case is forwarded to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General." is also written in the email. I suppose I should wait ? 

NOA1: October 02

NOA2 : December 14

Hey! That’s so awesome. Would you please tell me what questions they asked you at the interview for the b2? 
Did you had strong ties back home? 
thank you in advanced 

I am a Turkish citizen living in Germany for 5 years now. I applied to the American consulate here in Germany. 
They asked three questions 

- how long have you been living in Germany ? 

- what do you do for living ?

- why do you want to go to the states? 
 
I said i was going to see my fiancé and his family. He simply said it’s approved. 
I had some documents with me to prove my “strong ties”. The officer never asked or wanted to see. 
There were a few teenagers before me and they are all denied. ( everyone in the room could hear all the conversations between the officer and the applicants )

What i know is every person has a different situation. Prepare yourself for a negative result as well. But I’m hoping you can get it. And get to see your fiancé soon. 🥰

Anyone applying and getting their b2 approved while k1 processing/pending? 
 

Hello there,

i did and got the visa. Have been to the states 2 times last year and didn’t have any problem at the customs.

Hello everyone! 
I sent another inquiry afterwards and received an email today from nvc. Apparently they got our case . I hope latest end of February we can get the case number.

But I think there is something missing here. I am not sure if there is no activity in the first 2 batch or it is missing but there is 2 more groups before

"WAC - 22901000" 

Here they are : 

WAC - 22900000

WAC - 22900500  ( I belong to this group and It doesn't seem fair if they skip us )

Are they originally on your list ?

Thank you again !

Ezgi K.

Just like I was expecting, the uscis increased the processing time to 15 months. At least they are honest. 

Hello everyone!

 I see all the other groups including December 2021 Filers are very active in the forum. But I don't see any comment - posts under this topic. From my understanding everyone is waiting patiently

Our case hit 14 Month ( we sent the documents at the end of September but received NOA1  on the 2nd of October ) and I guess USCIS will have to update the processing times on their website soon. (It's still 14 Months) 

How are you all ? When do you expect to see NOA2 ? I am guessing, in January they will start processing October 2021 cases. There is still ca. 2000 cases from August and 2500 cases from September before us. And it seems they process around 500 cases in a week. So roughly it makes 9-10 weeks. 

But I am hoping we will get a good Christmas present. 🤞

Are you sure your number starts with 22900 and not 21900?

I am absolutely sure. I was actually wondering from which month did they start giving the number starting with "22900" that's why i was so happy to see that chart. But I guess the majority of some of the numbers are missing. Because I can say there's at least 500 files starting with "22900" just like mine.

There's actually a combined spreadsheet for all months now.

This has all cases from February-September so far

I am actually confused. I am an October filer but I sent my documents on the last days of September and my case number starts with WAC-22900xxxxx

But on this excel documents I don't see any WAC number like mine.

I doubt that the list is correct.

Hello everyone,

we sent our I-129F Form at the end of September and got the NOA1 at the beginning of October. So I am an October filer. And even if it's a bit early to get excited who knows maybe they randomly pick my File and send me NOA2 soon :))

As an additional Info: My Fiance is in the military and we were hoping to expedite our case. But unfortunately it didn't work out. 

I wish everyone a happy Christmas and I hope USCIS gets faster in new year. 

I had my NOA1 on November but we actually filed it on September.🤔

I know we have a looong way until I get the NOA2 but still following the the forum try to learn more about the process and the time lines.

I wish luck and patience to everyone 🍀
