The CSC Received over 2,000 I-129Fs in August

[candn 17]

The CSC received 2,134 I-129Fs and only processed 971 (less than half of what it took in). Nothing left to say. The numbers say it all.

Surely they are still in the midst of processing them, if you are talking about this august.

thanks, seem like all the unluck June, July filers are all here at VJ, June 2200+ applied, 1944 get done, so that mean 250 not yet get NOA2, but 90 of them are @ VJ... seem kinda odd...

No I am not referring to August filers. I am referring to the sheer volume. They are receiving more petitions than they can process. Bottomline taking in double of what you are processing equals one long wait unless they increase manpower or employee hours.

that is interesting info.... I bet September will even be much less than August... one interesting thing is it looks like they got way behind last June 09 and then had a massive July 09 approving over 10,000. Hopefully after Aug and Sept, they will have another "catch up" month like that and we'll all get approved!

Here's to hoping

It does look like they tend to have a rush after each dip. That's what I've been hoping for.

Me too! And if Aug looked like that, Sept has to be wayyyy worse in terms of approvals. Start the next rush of approvals NOW!

At risk of sounding like a USCIS/CSC apologist, I think a certain number of those petitions were "rejected" for not having the fee and other reasons but think they go in the stats because they do in fact take time to handle. There was also a big pile of who failed to complete the paperwork properly but didn't screw it up bad enough to fit the criteria of "reject" so they had to accept and issue RFE. Oh and don't forget about the pile of left over RFE debris from the previous month that had to be cleaned up.

oh, I imagine CSC also processes other types of applications.

The chart already addresses those that are pending so that already covers RFEs and other miscellaneous waits. As for all the other things they process, I am not interested in it. I am only interested in them aiming for a five month window and processing outside of that window. They need to work on staffing issues if they can't handle the volume OR provide partial refunds to those who have to wait months longer than others in the same category. Not to be insensitive BUT if they can't handle the volumes, then they need to change the fee schedule. Take off for X amount of dollars for each month they miss the mark.

THAT DATA IS FROM 2008 SO IT IS NOT VALID.
