K1 CA/NE/TX Approval rates by application date March - June

[Teachers 12]

I've looked through the last 6 months of I129F applications per the detailed statistics (at 50 per page). Here's the CA/NE/TX status.

The stats are a bit shaky, in that someone may have stopped posting on VJ, and thus be listed as waiting, when in fact, they are just gone.

It appears that whether you applied in late Feb. or late May, that your chance of having approval are about the same - maybe 50/50.

We MAY still have a big backlog. Or we MAY be almost done processing the March/April backlog. CA/NE/TX had 30 approvals listed in the last two weeks. If the backlog is small, then by the end of Sept. we should see the March/April ones done, and a big chunk of May and early June processed. I will update this table in a couple of weeks.

Sorry the table did not come out well. The three stats columns are Vermont (about 10-15), CA/NE/TX waiting (about 20 for most periods early March to late May) and CA/NE/TX with NOA2 (high teens most periods).

Obviously, like you said, these statistics are only as good as we VJ'ers have kept our timelines updated. These might show incomplete for those that have not filled dates in.

This shows count of NOA1 dates in 2006.

"Approved" means NOA2 date has been entered as of today (8/27/06).
