What I mean is, why are they allowed to not do our petitions roughly in chronological order? Dealing with a large group later rather than sooner does nothing to lessen the total number of petitions.

I called USCIS today (19 Dec 2011) I talked to this agent named laura, she told me that they are currently processing June 16, how come we have already July approvals if they are processing June 16?hmmmm is it possible that the system that they look at is not up to date? :blink:

Indeed.. Their oldest batch files may be from June 16, but their tracking is wrong-ish.

There are random approvals all over, but according to the bulk pulls I did the majority of the processing is happening in the July 5 - 7 range.

That's more or less how I feel they're doing it as well. The 16June date is probably either a batch tracking date or possibly even "all petitions in normal processing prior to 16June are complete" and so that's what they are 'processing'.

The other possibility is that date is completely meaningless, for the most part, and is calculated some how based on variables were don't know.

Based on what an USCIS operator said about standard processing time (i.e. it's not really 5 months, it's whatever they say it is), I think that's accurate.

Still waiting after 5 months.....

Hello. My wife called today as we are pending 155 days and counting. They say they will not do a service request because they are working on June 16 right now. She demanded to speak to a level to and explained her health conditions and everything to look into the case. More than likely they will still deny the request but we have waited over 5 months now.
