[Cassie 8]

yep, i haven't heard anything either. But then again, I was always in the last group to get emails.

I´d rather have slow news than no news. Anyone see a correlation between "real VSC approvals" of the last days and the slowdown for us??

There was more than the one on Wednesday?

I'm beginning to think that maybe they are doing the 2/25 batch in alphabetical order, which would put me at the end of approvals for those folks. Did we completely shoot down that theory? I kinna remember.

No news here too.

The "real VSC approvals” could be good news for us. It might mean that our files are on someone's table and the person who is done with his or her pile is already looking at September filer’s

Let’s hope for the best. Last Friday we saw first approval around 2pm if I am right and about the other Friday approval we heard only on Monday.

As much as I'd like to figure out myself how USCIS works, I think at this point the only conclusion drawn from past approvals is that there is absolutely no logical system at work.

Approvals are random, the alphabetical order proven invalid, since we as a "B" should have been approved earlier then. NOA1 expiry dates were just as inconclusive.

Honestly, I think they've just dumped us all in a box, and they take a little pile here and there. Depending on the case worker we get approved earlier or later... Who knows, may-be your case worker is on vacation right now, and your file sits patiently on his desk...

The only thing I think happened is that they've split us up in several batches, i.e. the 2/25 dates together and the 2/26 dates together etc. as there is hasn't been any 2/26 approval yet...

Anyway, I wish you all luck that your approvals will come very soon. I'm sure rooting for all of you!

I definitely believe in the 2-25 vs 2-26 split. Let´s hope there is gonna be someone today and they have not come to a complete and total stop!

Alphabetical order: are we talking first name or last name?

Alphabetical order: are we talking first name or last name?

we are an "S" and our approval via e-mail didn't come until 2:00 p.m. good luck and God bless for the anxious losers still awaiting.

Aha. We are a "W." If you buy the alphabetical order theory, that could mean they are doing "T"s today and won't get to me until Monday or even Tuesday. I wonder if licianne, the other 2/25 (aside from the Canadian in Texas newbie dude, I guess), has a last name that begins with something after "S"?

Mail should not be a problem, even if you are approved a week or two after your move and the card gets mailed to the wrong address:

USCIS letters do not get forwarded. However, one can ask the post office to "hold" mail for up to 30 days. The addressee then picks up the collected items at the post office after 30 days (free of charge). Therefore, I would simply order a hold for the day after my move (using the old address). I believe that even non-forwarded mail gets held.

Maybe, but then again maybe this guy was your adjudicator:

I like your theory James. Wife's last name starts with a "T" and we haven't been approved yet. May be today? Please!

[Tushar 0]

Might be True.. my last name start with " V"

Hmm, and other than Tweety's example, there was only one other post disproving the theory -- runeasy, who was approved on 3/28 and who said here that his last name began with a W. He didn't specify whether his wife had the same last name, though, and also he (or his spouse) is from Hong Kong. There might be something wacky there because the Chinese use their first names as last names (i.e., Deng Xiaoping's last name is Deng, not Xiaoping).
