Good morning April

Nice to see you back Graham.

Every day feels more and more anxious, doesn't it? I do hope the approvals we see this week are a sign that it's picking up again.

HiTech posted these stats yesterday on the percentage of VJ approvals for each week since April 1st. I have no idea how accurate they are as I haven't checked them personally but he seems like a numbers guy so here you go...

4/1/2008 6.10%

4/8/2008 7.32%

4/15/2008 9.76%

4/22/2008 13.41%

4/29/2008 24.39%

5/6/2008 31.71%

5/13/2008 37.80%

5/20/2008 40.24%

5/27/2008 50.00%

6/3/2008 59.76%

6/10/2008 63.41%

6/17/2008 68.29%

It shows the slow down as we've all experienced it but it also shows that things have steadily sped up. Let's hope this trend continues. I'm itching to celebrate with my April friends!!!

Make it a good day!

Here's some numbers from VJ timelines for March VSC

Average Days NOA1 to NOA2

43 days for Apr 15-30 approvals

54 days for May 1-6 approvals

60 days for May 7-14 approvals

66 days for May 15-30 approvals

78 days for Jun 1-9 approvals

82 days for Jun 11-19 approvals

86 days for June 20-25 approvals

But you can see how the trends go by looking at the VJ graph

I'm sure the surge of petitions varies. Look on VJ and see how big Feb (NOA1s=100) was compared to last Dec (NOA1s=65) petitions. All those Febs are slowing you guys down. It's not the March people. Looks like the line is leveling off. Maybe it will go down since April, so far, is showing lower number of filers. That will help out May.

Anyway, we are over 82% done give or take a couple of weird dated new timelines. It's going to happen for you soon

Hope April approvals will start coming in really soon!!!!

oh boy i cant wait..............................im going to have to wait...........but I feel like Im become obsessive with my checking my case status

Its kinda nice to know theres a bunch of others going through the same heartache, living of just emails and phonecalls and lettesr and webcam chats...all which we'd trade just to hug them again...i want to be there for his end of august bday - heres praying/hoping - I just want to imagine some mustached official having a good day, swilling down a cuppa strong coffee and thinking 'right, I'll really get cracking on that stack of fiance petitions today and stop procrastinating on facebook

Im at the end of April so will probably be one of the last....

Good morning April... hello new posters.

May filers are now getting their dual touches. Looking at March filers, it was about 8 weeks to approval from those touches, which would put us at about July 11th (i think). Timeline says July 19th now! Yet, we're down to 90 on Igor's list. I know that it all means very little in the big scheme of things but I need to be doing something at this point...and i'll take ANYTHING to help keep me going!

My love is having a difficult time so I need to stay strong!

Guara, we have the same NOA1 date! A former adjuticator posted that they go by the received date...which for both of us is about mid April.

It's good to know they're working 7 days a week. Hopefully it's not much longer for any of us.
