I don't know about Ray...but it keeps me sane while I'm waiting. I'm a bit of a control freak and I need to be DOING something. I'm glad it's useful to everyone.

How's everyone's monday so far? The start of another week...hopefully more approvals out of CSC! I'm feeling vibes for all of us first half of Feb folks!

Sane? Looking at the list I made I just noticed it really stands out that they do not approve in the order received

Nothing for us 2nd half of February folks? LOL

I know, it's frustrating on the one hand that they don't approve in order...however, look at all the people with extended wait times. I really don't want to be waiting for them to be approved before they even look at my case.

From what I understand, as they're received they are boxed up and put into storage...once a box is finished, they pull out the oldest box, open it up, and distribute petitions to adjudicators. Up until now they've been processed in order. This is where things start to get wonky...the adjudicator can process them in whatever order they like. Maybe they go through and do all of the cases that have kids...maybe they're on vacation for a couple of days...maybe they're new, so they work slowly...maybe they just had a fight with their spouse, so they're grumpy...maybe your case has something they don't quite understand, so they set it aside and grab the next one in the pile...who knows? While the other half of the box could be on the next desk over where the person is in a good mood...or they feel especially productive today...or they've been there for 10 years, so they can approve them quickly...or they just found out their wife is pregnant, so all is right in the world. Once they hit the adjudicators desk, we're at their whim and they get approved willy-nilly. All we can do is buckle down and wait...it may not be fair, but it is what it is. Either we stress, make ourselves miserable, and end up with stomach ulcers...or we accept it and deal with our down days as they come, but try to be happy when we can.

I'm feeling that the first week of July is when we'll start seeing 2nd half of February folks. I hope earlier...but that's my instinct from watching January approvals. They seemed to do January 1st-15th for several weeks, then added in the 15th-31st.

As for sane...well........as sane as I ever was, I guess.

I see that you're visiting the forums from work again! lol...it's hard to resist.

I would be so happy if we start hearing something in July. What would be the best is if I get an approval on my birthday (July 12)!! That would be sweet. I can wish right? I'd even be happy with an August approval as it's estimated to be.

Here's to a good week!!!

It's very, very hard to resist! Plus...I'm very not busy today. I should be catching up on my filing, but I really just don't want to.

I think we'll be through a significant portion of February by the end of July. I hope so at least!

Hello Fellow February Filers! :-) My NOA1 was Feb 19th, and I am HOPING to have it all wrapped up before August. We have all paperwork done and just waiting to make the call to the Kiev Embassy. :-) Of course, I know NOA2 is the next step, but I have confidence it will be soon. The calculator in my time line still estimates end of July for adjudication, but I hope it will be sooner. And WHY of WHY did I have to send my I-29F to CSC when I am in Indiana and am MUCH closer to the VSC?? (of course, that is a rhetorical question, but it is frustrating anyway. ;-) )

keep smiling!

Hi Aravis, has your case been touched recently? We filed on the same day so I'm hoping that if you get approval there's a chance that my petition will soon be approved. I just checked it online and it was not yet touched since Feb.

Nope...I've never had a definite, for sure touch. I had a weird thing where one day the last updated date switched to November of 2007...but it's switched back and it still says last updated 2/14. We'll get there! I'm hoping this will be our week!
