Well it's looking like the USCIS is slowing down on the processing of the May 22 Filers.It seems that about 3 or 4 approvals a week is the norm for the last couple of weeks. Im a May 11th an from our calculations it looks like their are about 20 people that are pre May 11th an May 11th filers that are still awaiting something. Im in the 8000 8500 block. I know that their are still previous months waiting an im sure they are just as frustrated as I am if not more.. I haven't lost hope still praying like crazy.. 😀... Im currently in Thailand leaving on the 3rd of July an im hoping to see something before i leave my fiancé so we can make some definite plans.. So im wondering when can i feasibly contact USCIS an enquire about my status in the pile of Documents they are processing. Im thinking some time in July.. If anybody has any other calculations on the weekly processing numbers please let me know... To everybody approved in our month of May congratulation's an God's speed on the rest of our process...

Were so with you on this were May 11th 22 NOA1 an now the excitement has turned into OMG what the heck is going on.. 🤣LoL... well the excitement is still there its just the maddning frustration of seeing the later days get their approvals thats keeping me wondering and up at nights.. Like you said even tho i knew it would happen an im very happy for them.. But i have this vision of this white neatly put together binder just sitting there as the agent brings more packages over to his desk an sets them on top of that white bider...🤯 Im in Bangkok with my fiancé this month an she scans everyday to keep track of the approvals an stuff so im getting an eye full everyday several times a day.. Plus our being 12hrs ahead of the U.S is something to add too. Thanks for posting or venting as you said.. it made our day we laughed so hard just to relised that were not alone.. it's nice to be able to laugh about our situation. It lightens the moment.. So hang in there brother were on the same tree branch.. An congrats to all you approvals for May so far.. were gonna be right behind you...😀

thanks so much for the reassurance.. i try not to quote FB because everybody there is an expert or something.. im in the same thought process as yours.. even when i did the intial reasearch the peope posting examples of the labeling said that they havent seen anything official about the requirenment to do so but had heard it was a good idea . So they did it so as not to leave anything to chance.

Congrats to everyone who's been approved.. lord knows its been quite a wait. Iv been reading some of the FB posts on the USCIS FB page an this person is saying that some of the applicants are getting refused.. not request for additional information but refused/denied because they didnt label/personalise the photos on the back of the pictures they submitted.. including passport pics.. i labeled all my pisc in my folder an the passport pics as well with out writing on the back of them.. when i was putting our I129F together the blogs said to just label the personal pictures an even some of the examples showed labeling next to the mounted picture... . So im wondering if anybody has any thoughts on this subject.. As i watch them get closer to my NOA1 day an dance around a little past me with approvals im guess im now looking for more things to keep me up a night... 😀

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...

Were in the 80000 TO 80500 block.. the way its looking based on the spread sheet my fiance has made were expecting sometime with the next 10 days (hopefully.. praying... an more praying...) She has noticed that the USCIS will post on the Case Update page usally the day after the decision has been made. She will check a case number on tue an wthe status will be the same an then on wed she'll check again an the case will be approved with tue's date then she updates the status.. So we hav a running xcell sheet with the case numbers listed an their current status so we can whats going on..kinda like yours just limited to one field. So were hanging in their.. excited, disappointed, giddy, an well just a slew of emotions.. Man were so close...

yea add the long weekend to that statement an you'v got a complete picture.. when USCIS processed after our date we were intially confused then thought it was the way the packets were distributed amongst the agents.. Now were a little baffled an on the edge of our seats everyday checking.. So hang in there people were so close... Man are we close...

were all in the que together brother... happy you got yur NOA2.. that means for me its one step closer to us... congrats an looking forward to expanding this thread to the next steps for us May filers...

MY case number on the Myuscis site shows a postiing date that is on May 12th. Then the body of the txt says that on May 11th my I129F was recieved an then gives us our case number.. Then the case history shows that our NOA1 is posted for May12th..this dosent make any sence to me as i"v always set our time line for May 11th.. any ideas......?

welcome to the party.. lots of good info here an especially now that the May filers finally hav, what looks like a light at the end of the tunnel..

Im hoping to get back in june but will have to see.. im not giving up hope that the 15.5 month will hold even if the numbers say different. By the grace of God something has to give

well on a more posative note concerning the withdrawl rates.. it'll be one less in front of us.. assuming they are in front of us... well hoping they are in front of us... 😳😩 yes we will get thru this

Hey gregorywayne we hav a May of 2022 I129F K1 filers thread here on visajourney. were all in the same boat at the same time so if yur interested jump on over an say hello..

Yea KXP this is gonna be our year... we'v waited our time now it's our turn.. Happy New Everybody an may God Bless you an yours for this new year.. This year im celabrating in Amphawa Thailand, Panitta an I brought in the new year together...

So out of the 34 posted responses posted there are 22RFE's. For the I129F, is this a normal percentage of responses that get RFE'ed or it seems to me that USCIS is rubberstamping them to clear the Que. because it's my understanding that the RFE is a request for clarification or need more information. So is this info after the NOA2 an issued from the NVC or before it goes to the NVC issued from the California processing center?

The 4388 an the previous mentioned digets are they the last four of our case ID numbers? As mine are 0426..

I have to agree i do believe the worst is behind us. USCIS is supposed to be getting more agents in place next year earlie so hopefully that'll speed up the process. either way we are past the half way mark

I believe the last i saw in Oct on VJ they were processing Sept of 2022 just seeing that was nice.. the USCIS timeline site is still showing 15 months which would put us into the begining of Aug 2023 im useing this time waiting to try an get to understand/know the process after the NOA2.. getting info for my fiance to get her ready for the interview on BKK.. getting all the Doc's organised an all.. Sometimes it seems every time i read a new flow chart i find that i have more questions then when i started.. I found a PDF Tips, tricks, an hacks the "NOA2 to NVC To Embassy" an it has been a great resource an also the USCIS has a great download that is Thailand specific. I'll be heading to Thailand for 60 day's on the 27th of Dec so I get to bring in the new year with my love..

Hello not sure if this is still applical or has been discussed but try the Wise app or Wise.com iv been sending money twice a month for the last 6 months an the transfer has a great exchange rate sometimes close to 38BTH to a dollar. if you do a ACH transfer its less than 30 seconds for the transfer an the fee is usually around 5$ to 7$ for a 400$ transfer. An it goes directly into my fiance`s checking account.

Ok now im really confused.... please help.... AOS? EAD? AP? i thought i knew what AOS is but now not sure. so how would i do what you said about the reentry an other stuff.. will all 3 of them have to attend the interview with the mom an then leave at the same time for the U.S. an once i file all that other stuff how soon before they could return.??? the son wonts to stay with the grandfather for a bit before leaving to keep him company as he lives with him currently.. my fiance does have a family support system just in case something does happen to his grandfather as the extended family all live in the same town with them.. but we plan on getting him out within the year on the K1... so is it best that all 3 kids go to the interview with my fiance so they at least get on the K1 docket an then we have a year to get them a ticket to exit for the U.S....?

not sure about the #2.. so is the F2A considered the fraud or my letting the 1 year statuette go by after listing them on th I129F the fraud. Is the 1 year rule from point of the k1 approval till he leaves the country or is it a 1 year for us to file for him to leave or i dont have to file anything but just send him a ticket to exit the country.. ?? the eldest is turning 18 at the end of this month and we won't be getting married until late next year based on the current time-line. so we'll have to think about this one. an maybe bring her here an then do the AOS an then let her return.. if we do that how long will she have to stay in the US before she can leave..??
