I am going to assume not Ukraine so you are looking at a long wait unless you come up in the lottery 

No not Ukraine. My beneficiary is from/in Cuba.

77 days waiting for me... I emailed/called congressmen regularly, senators regularly, filed application with ombudsman, emailed the President of USCIS, made duplicates that I regret I made, called USCIS often, was put in a queue to talk to a Tier 2 agent on 1/31 and never received a callback.  Analyzed this from every possible angle, trying to find some logical sense to why some are processed within days, while others wait 6+ months.... In my experience, everything I did was wasted efforts. And this is what I would suggest for anyone waiting on this process : 

 

Limit social media time. Accept this is a unfair random process, and there is nothing you could have done differently for your application to be accepted. I do believe that the longer you go in the system, the system does put some weight on those that are bumping up close to 90 days. This is pretty much all the advice I can offer. Be patient and try your best to not allow yourself going crazy over how unfair the process is. 

 

Tips for those about to apply - Submit your application at 11am EST on a Monday. idk why but I am superstitious a little and this was the submission time on the application I submitted that got approved. Note - it wasn't my fiancée who was initially approved but one of her family members that I applied for on 3/20 at 11am. They were confirmed at 11:46 pm on 3/24, and then everyone I applied to sponsor was then approved. 

77 days waiting time is amazing!! Congratulations!

We submitted on March 06 and are still waiting in the ".. Receipt Notice Was Sent" status.

I tried to get through to a real person on the phone but the best I could  manage was a chat with an associate at USCIS about 5 weeks ago.
They couldn't give me an update on my case but did tell me they were only just getting to the applications from January.

The waiting is the worst... all one can do is breathe!
