Hi, we're also processing from Canada! I gotta say (also trying to not be negative) but wow this sucks! A sucky situation lol. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and everything will go through eventually.
 
Quick question since you guys are in a similar boat as us: Have you been able to visit at all? I'm worried that my Canadian fiancé would be turned away at the US border if he tried visiting.

Yes, that's why many people, when asking the difference between K1 and IR-1/CR-1, are being told on the forum the K1 isn't much of an advantage anymore. It's a lot more nuanced than that; it's entirely embassy specific. For Canada, you're right, NVC is a huge delay right now. Philippines, too, hasn't had movement in forever. For Slavic countries (going to Warsaw and Kyiv), the transfer from NVC seems more immediate. Check out the NOA2 - NVC - Interview thread to see what I mean. 
 
NOA2 times are roughly 9-11 months right now. The wait for the next stage is entirely embassy determinative and there's no guarantees there, unfortunately.
 
Also the April/May approvals are extreme outliers, no more of them are getting approved and it appears to just have been part of a batch randomly pulled. It's very clear the focus is now early March. 

Update: at least 24 approvals came through for March filers yesterday, 19 of which were March 1st. I just ran the numbers for this column again and despite it being 9am in Cali there were already a couple more. 92 I-129F approvals in all (counting February/January as well). Here's hoping. 

Oh wow... yea like others said I feel that would be something to stop us from inquiring... 
I don't understand how the approval works. Some file in April or even May got approved already. I wonder if they are all the expedited case or just some were luckier or different processing center... 
I recently realized from NOA2 to NVC will take around 8 more month for Canada. 
So honestly at this point, not trying to be negative, I don't really see the NOA2 approval much of a hope lol 
I hope it is better to the rest of you

Here is also what Greenbaum was posting January 2021 and previous.  Complementing J&D's above post.  my reply messed up so I am only quoting this.
 

Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking here but not writing. Just wanted to let everyone know that I submitted an Outside Normal Processing Times request on 11/01/2021 for my case (NOA1 on 03/09/2021). I got a response today 11/12/2021 of:
 
On 11/01/2021, you contacted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) about your I-129F because you believe your case is outside normal processing times. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.

Thank you for your inquiry. We recognize your interest in the final adjudication of your pending petition and are aware of the difficulties caused by any delay in processing. We regret we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will review your case but the California Service Center is committed to processing this workload. We will be making every effort to adjudicate your case in the most efficient manner based on our available resources. We appreciate your patience and understanding. 
 
 
Hopefully this is helpful to some people. It sounds like they haven’t even started looking at the case but I’m hoping we all hear something soon. 

Hello!
NOA1 notice date March 13 
Our generic message receive on Nov29 was: 
" … Your case is currently being adjudicated. You should receive a notice of action* within 45 days... " 
Are we? Or we are get another message... We shall see... 😕

I'm new here and the more I read the posts... there's a tiny tiny TINY glimmer of hope to see those who got their NOA1 in Feb are receiving their NOA2 gradually. 
We got the NOA1 on March 13 (sorry did see the March filter, hope that's ok) and still waiting... maybe we will also get a RFE since it seems to get trigger by the slightest thing. I will be nervous, since we gave EVERYTHING we had. 
I'm on the edge of my seat! 
Soooo happy for those who got updates, I can definitely imagine how happy it is!! And good luck to the rest of us!! 

Welcome! Please enter your dates on your timeline.

Hi guys, we finally got approved yesterday! 😍
I can't believe it, I thought it was never going to happen. I had to stay away from everything because the waiting was taking a toll on me.
We got an RFE unfortunately but then the approval came pretty quickly and unexpected. I'm over the moon happy 🥰
I hope you all got good news as well!!

Updated the spreadsheet up to 30/11/2021. 

75.33% of Feb cases have been processed. Congratulations to all those that have been approved! Hoping I'll be able to say that soon! 
 

Currently in the US until this weekend so will update the graphs and stuff when I get home. 

As always, spreadsheet is here

WEEKLY CHART UPDATE:
105 Approvals (all very sporadic)
17 RFEs
3372 Other Action aka "waiting and others"
 
Hoping to at least see more March approvals this week!
