it's updated!

Sorry, but i made a mistake...our NOA1 is dated 01/25/08 and we received it 01/28/08...not sure which date you go by.

Its updated and actually, I see lots of approvals this week. Finally!

I probably won't be updated much this upcoming week. My husband is in for a week long visit and we are going to ignore this immigration ####### and pretend we are a 'real' married couple who actually *gasp* lives together...

Have a good week everyone.

Hmmm, link to the sheet doesn't work for some reason, but you can always access the sheet by hitting the link to my blog (in my signature) and it is posted near the top right of the page.

The link shows up with two http:// in front. Get rid of one and it works fine.

Not to begrudge Eresh's thread tracking NOA-1 to NOA-2 timelines (s/he did a great job), but I thought it appropriate to start a new thread.

I began tracking just NOA-1s after USCIS stopped issuing NOA-1s for I-130s in late 2007. The tracking spreadsheet has evolved as USCIS has evolved and I added the NOA-2 dates for I-130 only filers as well as breaking out separate sheets between VSC and CSC and averaging the days between filing and NOA-1 receipts, NOA-2 dates and dates from filing to NOA-2s. You can find separate listings for Vermont and California right under the header.

I update the sheet every few days based on VJ time lines of CR-1/IR-1 filers. I do exclude time lines that appear to be either erroneous or DCF to try to keep the information as accurate as possible. But, it can only be as accurate as the information entered in the VJ time lines. Please make sure your information is correct and keep in mind, only California and Vermont process this type of petition.

You can find the spreadsheet here.

I received two Notices of Action from the USCIS this year: one for the receipt, and the other for the approval. ???

It's updated again.

I decided to take the 2 service center sheets and sort them by NOA1 date. I had a feeling that VSC was processing based on NOA1 date, but that theory doesn't stand supported. VSC is just approving them randomly, best I can figure. CSC, although slower than VSC, at least seems to have some kind of method to their madness.

It has always appeared to random to me...people who have a NOA1 date before and after us have gotten their NOA2. I think it all depends on the details of your case.

According to the NOA1 timeline, there are only 2 people waiting before me. But there have been people approved that got their NOA1 after me too, so I am not sure whether to be hopeful or ticked off... grrr I just want to be with my husband, is that a crime?

[MsZ 6]

If you've never gotten a touch I can't see how it can depend on the details of your case. Wouldn't they have had to have begun processing to know whether it is a complicated situation or not?

I should imagine that the highest incident of "complication" is previous marriages. Behind that, children. After that, criminal backgrounds. So the simplest cases would be in terms of first marriages for petitioner and beneficiary. It'd be interesting if we could collect any complications and see if we could come up with a pattern.

Are those people who've been approved ahead of others 1st time marriages?

(I'm leaving out obvious expedites due to country of origin. Those make sense and I agree w/them.)
