Hi

Security checks are done frist.From what I have read..Kind of makes sense.

They are improving which is great.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that, working in close partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the backlog for FBI name checks pending more than six months has been eliminated. This is the fourth milestone met by the agency as part of its joint plan with the FBI to completely eliminate the backlog of pending name checks.

Just 16 months ago, more than 349,000 name checks were pending; of that, nearly 150,000 had been pending for more than six months. All USCIS requests pending for six months or more as of February 28, 2009, have now been responded to by the FBI’s National Name Check Program (NNCP).

In April 2008, USCIS and the FBI established milestones prioritizing work based on the age of the pending name check. Priorities included processing all name checks pending more than three years by May 2008 (the FBI had already eliminated all cases pending more than four years); those pending more than two years by July 2008; and those pending more than one year by November 2008.

USCIS and FBI are on schedule to meet the next two goals: all name checks requests pending longer than 90 days to be completed by May 30, 2009 and, by the end of June 2009, the FBI will complete 98 percent of USCIS name check requests within 30 days and process the remaining two percent within three months. USCIS and the FBI will continue to focus on sustaining a rigorous and efficient screening of each name check request.

Elimination of the name check backlog is an example of USCIS’ commitment to making timely decisions about immigration applications and petitions, while maintaining the security and integrity of America’s immigration system.

I misunderstood what you wrote, I think. I thought that you had read somewhere about YOUR specific application, not just generally about the FBI name checks. Sorry. I wanted to know where you had found information like that specific to you....

So I've been keeping an eye on the IGOR LIST (http://cse.ssl.berkeley.edu/igor/vjdata/vsc.aspx) and seems like it takes them about a half of a month to process one month of petitions, seeing as the December filers first started getting approved first of April. And now its mid april and January filers are starting to get approved. Well if this is the case, they will be working on February filers at the start of May, and finish with them in the middle of may. So My estimate is now (if this continues like this), that us March Filers may see approvals Mid-May and finish up with us by early June (which means Ill be like around end of may, if so).

I dunno if it will go this way, but im just thinking if this trend continues (we will see if Feb approvals start around may 1st).

Anyway, Im happy thinking it will.. so thats what ill think. LoL..

One thing I like about the Berkley list is that it gives an average of approvals per day for the last year on the stats page. VSC's average is 3. That should be fairly consistent given the large timeframe. Since folks normally get the NOA2 when they are around 130-150 on Igor's (because some don't update, duplicates, etc), and I am about 370, I figure around 80 more days (240 more to get to 130, 240 divided by 3 is 80). The average includes weekends, so it's easy enough to get an estimate.

I never would have believed my journey to happiness would begin with something called an "I-129F"

Seeing January petitions starting to get approved does look good... I am trying not to get my hopes up... In my head I am still thinking late August so that I will be surprised if we get one earlier rather than disappointed if we dont... but Lord knows I am hoping its June :)

I am heading back to Atlanta today after spending 9 days with my baby in Poland... a sad day... so this give me some hope.
