Good. Here's hoping it STAYS broke. What a wasteful and inaccurate system.

So, because it didn't work properly for you, it shouldn't work for anyone? :rolleyes:

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

Worked ok for me. The day after CSC cashed my check, and I got my WAC number, I was able to see the status online. Nothing changed for three months. Then, in one day, I got a touch, and then an approval status change. The status changed twice in one day - I'm assuming the touch was when the file was pulled to be adjudicated. That would mean it was reasonably accurate to within a few hours.

A few days later, I got the hardcopy NOA2 in the mail. :thumbs:

I think Gary's case just slipped through the digital cracks! :whistle:

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

It worked fine for me too. I wish it had worked faster, but it notified me the evening we were approved. Can't really ask for more than that.

I guess the phrase "your mileage may vary" and the concept it signifies are foreign to some people.

Yes you're right; they are always hiding something but you found the #######.

Looks like a new display for the same stuff.

Case Status, Processing Times, Office Locator, and Change of Address Online Unavailable

Maybe they got the search feature hidden somewhere else too. :diablo:

New Report Entry & Processing Times Tool

There ya go - you enter your visa type & service center name in 3 steps.

They are on par with their goals, so there may not be any incentive to speed up further.

Let's hope I'm wrong ;)

USCIS New Site is Now Open

I must admit that I am somewhat impressed with the new USCIS site.

Instead of just showing the timeframes now, you can actually display the number of pending applications, awaiting customer action (RFE response), completions (approved or denied), and receipts (new cases) on a month-by-month basis. For example, the July stats for I-129Fs:

                                          Awaiting    
                                          customer     All other
Location   Receipts      Completions       action       pending   
National     4,013          5,318           1,877        25,202
VSC          1,859          2,952             891        14,205

Another interesting aspect of this is it allows some insight as to what percentage of all petitions are represented by VJ timelines. For example, VSC received 2,458 I-129Fs in March. There are 155 March VSC timelines on VJ, which represents just over 6% of the total.

A move toward transparency by USCIS... I'm shocked.

Not just the USCIS. Government transparency. Oh my!

I wonder how much of this is the advent of a more tech savvy administration pushing for change beyond the more public issues of health care and what not?

Or just that the government is finally utilizing all the technology at their fingertips?

Together: 10/10/2001 - current

The Process, Part 1

09/09/09 - I-129F sent certified mail express to CSC.

09/10/09 - I-129F received and signed for by INS Express Mail.

09/11/09 - NOA1 notice date.

The "case status progress bullets" are a nice touch, but only time will tell if they will update the case status

more conscientiously than in the past.

Yup. You can view it in chart form, or download the raw data in CSV (bare-bones spreadsheet) format.
