September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

[Josh and Erin 0]

While I'm not quite as obsessed with checking my own case status, I am always curious about numbers/data. So, in my "spare" time at work, I threw together a program that will run out and check case #'s on the USCIS site (Hope I'm not breaking any laws here, but it's no different than manually entering in all the case numbers!)

It's processed with the CasePrefix, in my instance, this is WAC092495, then you give it a beginning and ending case # (I ran it 1-9999). If it gets 20 cases returning "blank" in a row, then it ends processing. In this case, it finished on case# 1935

So, here's a quick breakdown for my "day" for CSC:

For all "Form I-129F":

154 - Initial Review

3 - Document production of Oath Ceremony

1 - Acceptance

1 - Post-Decision Activity

Can throw in the other numbers, or share source code if any of ya'll want to compile and run it. Written in C# (.NET 3.5). It took about 20 minutes or so to crank through the 1,935 cases.

I'm very happy for all those getting there NOA2. BUT where's mine. C'mon VSC, make my day. Plzzzzzz....

Im with you Kjenkins, wheres our NOA2..

I temporarily got rid of the "check case status" link from my toolbar,. coz everytime i see it., I always get tempted to check, and as always, no NOA2 yet...

can anyone here check it for me, and Surprise me with a good news when im approved? LOL...

*sigh*

Oh well, whenever its gonna be this week, or next week or next month, it will still be so awesome for us, coz we're really expecting for january..

I've been checking every 5 minutes all day long. I do this on my days off. I can't stand it. I need to have Mathew just change our password and not give it to me. He doesn't really check it anyway.

I think that's what Mathew is thinking. He just goes about his little day, letting the woman do all the worrying.

god, i'm with you. right now i seriously wish i didn't have a job where i have computer access all the time, because i can't stop myself from constantly checking! AND now that i have a list of the pending numbers from our NOA1 date, i just keep checking ALL of them! (no change btw. nothing new approved since 10/19)

so great that you did this..it was an idea i was contemplating...more of a "hmmm i wonder if i could do this" sort of thing. i'd love the source code if you could send it!

Can you include our number...lol.... i dont want to check it anymore..........

I hate to say it, but being the selfish person that I am, I hope no one gets approved with our NOA1 date until we ALL get approved. Like, same day. Otherwise, it'll just drive you and I crazy since we have the exact same timeline. The least USCIS can do is approve our cases together. They know they want to.

Sure thing. I'm still tweaking it a little bit, and I'm a perfectionist... so in a day or two I'll have "official" source code available.

I also keep thinking of changes for it, like I modified it so that after you run through your "day" once, you can have it check just the I-129F cases from your day (Or whatever status/Form you want to check), rather than EVERY application for the day.

I'm just hoping that USCIS doesn't get mad at me for hitting their request form so quickly is such a short amount of time.

Once i get it fully working, I suppose I could have it generate full data over time periods... so we could see data like Igor's list, but as a representation of all the cases at each service center? I love automation!

Congratulations! I just flew into Chicago, got to my hotel and logged on.. KNOWING I was going to see someone got it!

I don't think it's selfish... I think all of us from 9/24 should have been on the same day.. and I should have been last since I thought I forgot to sign the darn I129F. Hmm..maybe I should be giving up pinkies and toes for you!!!
