Following the advice in the march group, we called earlier this week. We're at 60 days since approval next week, and USCIS confirmed our approval is in the system, but the case hasn't yet been forwarded to NVC. They said they can only open a case after 90 days wait. 
 
Welp. So much for us getting to spend the summer together. Again.

Nothing yet, but it looks like there's more movement lately in the march group, which is promising. 

We're in a similar situation. Agree completely. Wanted to do things the proper legal way like a bunch of chumps. Had no idea this would be such a grueling, interminable ordeal. 

except that living in limbo is not funny. I don't understand why it takes 90 days to process/prepare to post something. Do they need me to fly out there and help them??? Bunch of soup sandwiches 😡 

Congrats. We're happy you've been approved.

How did you know?? But yessss! My case was approved this morning! One of the two approved in the 53500. 447 days later.
It really comes when you least expect it, caught me totally by surprise! This phase is finally over!!! I'm still in disbelief!

Hoping everyone still waiting can hear good news this week!!! 🤍
 

If you check the march 2023 version of this group, they're all saying anywhere from 60-90+ days. Few there have received notification yet. 

Sometime shortly after 2 today...WE GOT APPROVED! 47500 group. Now we're just waiting for the approval letter/instructions to arrive. Does anyone know how long that typically takes?

Thank you! Hopefully tomorrow or next week or the next! Hahah just waiting now.
 
Not sure, but I heard it’s a week or less to get the approval notice. It does take time for NVC to contact you though, no one knows for sure.

Congrats to everyone approved today!

Congrats to everyone approved today!

They do the most cases on Mondays. Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

I can be wrong because I don't track RFEs but I remember seeing more requests for INITIAL evidence than additional evidence. That means they missed something in their files from the start, basic things, not that USCIS wants to know more about something. I've been seeing a lot about the two year meeting requirement. A lot of people only sent pictures or boarding passes and not passport stamps or hotel reservations, etc. Some people got it because a document was missing from the start. Also saw some about the intent to marry, some people sent just one letter instead of two. Not everyone discloses their RFE so it's hard to know.
 
No, they don't work in perfect order. They're working in many ranges and many months at the same time. Right now for February they are focusing on the first half of the month. By the way, you're probably inside the 47500 range, it's groups of 500 receipt numbers (not all 500 are K1, we just filter the K1 category)

It's hard to know, USCIS works in many mysterious ways, no matter how we try to solve it! haha I would say it could be any day now for you since they are indeed working heavily on the first weeks of February. But they also move on to other ranges without completing 100% of the cases in a month, so we just need to hope we aren't the ones left behind, especially when processing times have been up and inquiry dates follow their processing times.

Hoping you get an approval soon!

Literally terrified of being left behind. It's been such a long wait already. Our first notice was on Feb. 3. We're 479xx with only 30 or so people between us and the next batch at 48000. 
 
Thank you. We've been checking and will keep checking. Can't wait for this to be over and be be approved and together again.
