early vs late filers..what's the difference?

[kenshaq 3]

hi everyone:) i just noticed something on the timeline between early filers and late filers..as i read some timelines who filed march,april, may and june and it looks like they've got their noa2 within just 2 months while those who filed around june until december mostly they got their noa2 4-6 months...just thinking..any ideas??..we're a march filer so i hope it will be a short process:) any ideas is appreciated:)

perhaps the National Processing Volumes and Trends page from USCIS may help you with the question you asked.

Based on these statistics, the CSC is still only processing appoximately the same number of I-129F's as they are giving receipts. Unless they start processing more each month, it can be expected that the average waiting time will remain somewhat constant. Currently it is 138 days as shown here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/times

The reason the precessing times went up in the last six months is because the number of completions from CSC fell well below the number of receipts in Aug, Sept, and Oct.

It might not be a first come first serve basis and just adjudicate it randomly. No one can tell, really. We can only hope it'll come just in time. (5 months mark but no more than that!)

Something I read last year that makes sense is that the USCIS was putting more manpower into K1 applications earlier in the year, then the focus was shifted elsewhere later in the year. That would account for faster processing times early last year vs. later til now. I'm sure if someone took the time, they would look and see that while K1's were going to good last Apr-Jun, some other visa was suffering as a result. BLUF... there are X amount of workers, and Y amount of applications, and Y is ALWAYS greater than X. Unless applicants become fewer, or the USCIS hires more personnel (and trains them properly), it will always be a slow process.
