It seems like the case status page is very slow these days. I received my SSN yesterday and was super confused because my EAD was not approved yet. Today, I found out through an uploaded notice to my USCIS account that I was approved one day after biometrics. YAY!

I feel your pain!  I'm waiting for access to the schedule in the DR.  We submitted the DS-160 and paid the visa fee on Sept 1 and still nothing!  A few people have gotten access though so I'm hopeful that we can get in soon!  
 
I'm a very patient person but this is tryinggggggggg! 

K1 falls under the non-immigrant visa category as it requires the adjustment of status procedure - this is not the case for immigrant visas. In any case, you're very much intending to immigrate, so you're both correct in some sort. 🤪

I received an odd response from NVC that just casually slipped my CEAC case number in there and it says that we're "at NVC". Looking forward to the shipment dates next week.

That's what I learned here from others in that situation. Eventually the petitioner should get mail, but it's probably not a bad idea to ping NVC to get a case number before that.

I am a late May filer who got approved shortly after they started June. You're on day 367 and most approvals still take roughly 390 days - so hang in there, it is coming.

June people, hang in there and stay calm. The way I see it, you're already so ahead of the curve with being processed in a year. Having a NOA2 and NOA1 in the same month, but 1 year apart is a HUGE WIN. Most of us early 2022 filers waited 14, 15, 16 months and the majority of June is being approved in around 12 months. This is a great thing that can't be taken for granted. 
 
Them starting July doesn't mean at all they will stop working on June. And they just started July, it's going to take a while for you to see a significant decrease in activity in your month. But they will keep approving cases. It's too early to say right now you've been left behind. It sucks that maybe you're not in the first wave of approvals, but they are indeed moving faster through months than before.
 
There's no perfect order in this process. There isn't only one person taking a case at a time. If you look at the big picture, they're still processing cases chronologically, from month to month and inside the months, stating from the beginning to the end. It's bulk of activity instead of a perfect order. It doesn't mean your case was somehow skipped because it's not how that works. They are not taking any LIFO approach with I-129f cases. Some cases get approved first. Other cases get approved later. There are people from February still waiting. There are July filers getting approvals. It's the way it is and it's a matter of pure luck in my opinion, even if your case is simple and you did it all correctly.

Don't let anxiety take over right now. I know, I've been there. But stay patient and know that this whole thing would've taken you 17, 18 months or more if USCIS were not processing record numbers this year.

I imagine that they give out piles of applications through which one officer will work. So, it is first in first one on the desk, however, you may be at the bottom of the pile while some other officer gets a new pile of applications (which are then obviously filed later than you). And then there are some inexplicable cases (such as December filers still being on hold), which do not make any sense. All in all, the only thing safe to say that this is a ride to insanity.

We are in the same range and got worried, too. Yesterday was the first day I started to feel like "well it's gonna be latest July anyways, so it's fine" and then we got approved.

Wow.. 377 days in the making.
NOA1: 31 May 2022
NOA2: 12 June 2023
 
Fingers crossed for all you still waiting. It will come soon.

You might be one of the first when they start June. I am May 3rd but somehow they seem to avoid that day so far;)
I think they have their chunks of files split by weeks or so sitting on their desk and you are screwed when you are at
the bottom of such a stack. As end of May filer you might be lucky to be on top of a stack.
 

I have the same issue as a NOA1: May 31-filer, I try to see myself as a June filer but honestly that is really tough to do.

I am confused. I have never said anything about when they start June or how far they have come with May filers. All I am saying is that May files have been actively opened since last week.
 
If you're interested, they are at roughly 40% touched and 29% closed cases for May filers.

i hear ya.. an believe me your right.. were just right now being hopeful because they jumped to our month... our original timeline is mid to late july.. as long as they consistant with that were happy...

For your own sanity, please don't pin it down to a week if possible. Most of us should hear from them by end of July. I feel like that is a good thing already considering most of us expected processing to take longer than 14 months.

They might removed some vaccines from the first link, I find different informations at the moment. But I hope it helps!
