I've honestly just been checking uscis once a month and same for visajourney. It's really helped my sanity by just waiting. Although the waiting sucks, and I miss my husband, looking forward to our next trip and knowing that the visa is counting down inbetween trips has been helpful. I don't expect an answer until October, anything before will be a blessing. I hope everyone is hanging in there! This is just how I've been working through it, minimal time on all visa websites.

It's free, and at least will pass some time! 😅 Although I feel like I haven't seen it help many recent filers like it seemed to have earlier in the year.

 

How did you "ask Emma"?  Can you do it in the online chat or do you have to call? 

Definitely can't hurt to try!! 

I was on Emma and then asked for a live agent and then when connected with me via chat function. Pretty straightforward

I think most get sent somewhere else straight after from what I've seen.  We haven't "asked Emma" yet, we just know our K3 receipt was from Texas.  Have you filed K3?

Yea I definitely can agree with that. No I haven't filed yet but I'm thinking about it. Can't hurt I suppose! 

Any updates from those with interviews, specially CR1 or IR1? 

I spoke to agent on Emma and my case was transferred from Potomac to California Service Center. We did not get a notice of transfer but I have a suspicion they sent us there the day after I submitted. Estimate time is 7 months, although I will be surprised if it is in that time frame. 

I applied online 9/26 and AR on 9/26 as well. My receipt says Potomac center, and the estimate provided was 10 months. I am USC and my husband Australian. Married 2 months. We hired a lawyer, however doubtful that impacts any time.
