Besides that one person who's NOA1 seems to be off by 3 weeks from the time they mailed it in has there been a single person who can report they have been approved with a NOA1 in August from MSC/NBC for the I129F.

Still nothing from August. I don't undersatnd what they do with the applications for 3 months. My guess is nothing and the whole process probably takes less than a week to complete.

Here are a few interesting things that I learned today from speaking to an immigration officer. If you have a congressional rep assit you by sending an email or letter your application is pulled out and sent to special unit for processing. Whether this is good or bad thing I don't know but i hope that's good news. Second all processing is done in batch processing so for example when we saw last week a bunch of approvals on 10/29 that's because they input and update the computer system all in one shot. Thus when we all check the internet everyday it's pretty much a waste of time because who knows when the batch processing is done. My guess is once every week or once every 2 weeks.

This also means that all of us with dates of 8/6 or earlier at MSC for I129F petition might be approved and we are just waiting for the batch processing to be done. I hope we all get our approvals real soon.

I seem to recall someone with access to the BCIS and their workings saying that congressional help doesnt make a difference. They can find out where the individual case is, but cannot help with the processing.
I am not saying you are wrong, merely that there seems to be conflicting information on this topic.

No kidding. Keeps the internet busy, though.
