Finally got my USCIS approval! 

499 days from the date submitted until we got the approval notice. 

I'm really hoping that the NVC stage goes faster for us than it was at USCIS. 

No we are still waiting for NOA2 at USCIS

Is there anyone else still waiting for approval from USCIS? It looks like a lot of people here have had approvals. I'm still waiting PD January 26

Both mine and my son's are still saying taking longer than expected and has been that way since July 

Last week ours said 8 months, I checked and now it says 2 months! I hope that is accurate.

Our timeline so far:

1/11/2023: Filed online, got NOA1 and was put into AR1 within a few hours. Service center was Potomac. I've checked with Emma twice since then, and both times they said it's in Texas now. Since Texas is generally faster, that's great. 
1/20/2023: Sent in our I-129f/K-3. Some stories of people cutting down their approval times by filing K-3, so we figured it was worth a shot. It will be interesting to see if the NOA for the 129f will come from Texas or not. 

It would have been better if the IOE receipt numbers you get from USCIS were sequential like they are for K-1 filers, as you could check other people's status and see the rate at which they're getting approved etc. But I haven't been able to make any sense of them. 

Are they not sequential? I'm not sure if it is because it was filed at the same time but we had to file separate I130 documents for me and my son. Our numbers are identical except the last number which his is one off from mine. 

I am Canadian, My husband (US Citizen living in Philadelphia) filed the I130 for myself and my son on January 26 through our immigration lawyer. I think the lawyer filed it online. 

On February 4th he recieved a receipt of filing letter in the mail with our receipt numbers. 

It shows a priority date of January 26 and a notice date of January 31. It is apparently being processed at the Potomac office. 

That is the only thing we have received so far.
