Paisaman's I-130 CSC Statistics

[Paisaman 13]

In scanning ahead in the August ranges I found some additional July apps that I am adding into the stats. I am convinced I now account for every July application possible in my stats.

Reposting the adjusted 12/24 and the new 12/31 end of year stats accordingly.

Summary:

71,585 total apps for June 27-July 31 period watched.

On December 24:

55,308 applications still in Initial review status

8,562 applications in Decision or Post Decision

1,405 pending RFE

5468 in acceptance

73 in testing

72 in other

On December 31 (End of Year Stats):

54,526 applications still in Initial review status

9,097 applications in Decision or Post Decision

1,620 pending RFE

5,468 in acceptance

73 in testing

92 in other

And the most important part:

Between December 24 and December 31 the CSC reviewed 782 more applications with 535 decisions and 215 new Requests for Information.

Damn slow.. Still interested in seeing a normal non-holiday work week.

Right now I am tracking July because that is where the majority of the activity is. My assumption is that they will work on July and August before getting to September, in which case you are still probably a couple months out.

I will post my August numbers this week, I haven't started tracking September yet.

First off a very clever solution that gives us some real insight into the current backlog, I tip my hat to you.

I sure hope 782 reviewed applications in a week is due to the short work week and the probability that there are a higher than normal number of CSC workers out on vacation. This will be another short week, but I would imagine there are fewer people out on vacation this week as compared to last week. I can't imagine they can process more than 5-10 thousand applications a week which could mean that those of us with a late July priority date probably won't get our NOA2's until February at the earliest

This thread should be pinned since it contains very valuable information.

Would it be possible to run daily updates? I would be more than happy to help out in any way I can.

Thanks Matt.

Well, the problem honestly is that I have to change my IP address every 5k records I run. I can do that fairly easily, but it does cause some issues. They block IP addresses after that so it gets interesting.

I am working on a cloud solution that would let me run numbers a couple times a week. We will see.

Sad to say, if I'm reading all this correctly their peak was only 1000 or so. So yeah, we're looking at several more weeks at best.

I'm in contact with my Senator's and Representatives to at least get a status or preferably some kind of positive movement. I think I'll freaking flip out if after months of waiting they just kick back for an RFE

I was wondering if they would limit the number of requests based upon IP address. In that case an update once a week is more than enough. Thanks again for your work on creating a solution to gather some very helpful information that gives us insight into the current backlog at the CSC.

If you think that crowdsourcing this might help let us know. I'm sure there would be plenty of us willing to run a script to gather a range of numbers. Can you tell if it is a 5000 record limit per IP address per day, hour, month, lifetime?

Actually, as much as I would love to have greater insight and data I'm not sure how much more useful daily reports would be. There is already an inherent inaccuracy with this method which wouldn't really improve by pulling it daily or even semi-daily. Weekly probably is enough given the method at hand.

This list includes all I-130 applications, correct? That would also include petitions for those that wouldn't fall under the IR-1/CR-1 category which have much higher processing times, in some cases years. So, while there may be 50k applications they don't have to work all of those before starting on August.

My NOA1 has a section for Preference Classification that would help filter the I-130 applications, but it doesn't look like they list that on the online status check.

Matt,

Indeed. I can't filter for the IR-1/CR-1 only, can just see the I-130 in general.

Its not a perfect system.. but does provide some insight. As July progresses we will have some idea of apps that are left behind as they progress in dates.

My last post wasn't meant to criticize your system, rather to calm myself down a bit when I look at those staggering figures and realize that the numbers are inflated by lower priority petitions. I look forward to your weekly updates and again I would like to thank you for your work in providing this information.

Sorry me again, is it possible if you can create one for K1's from the Vermont Center? Again, as previously stated, I submitted I-129F, denied, under AP...Fiance had interview july 13, 2011...

All,

Creating this thread and will be updating once or twice a week with the stats for the CSC to try to provide an insight into what is really happening in case processing for I130s.

Over the next few weeks I will try to expand the date ranges to include the whole month of July, but for now focusing on the first couple weeks of July where the bulk of the processing seems to be.

Happy reading. Hope it helps at least provide *some* information, at least it makes me feel a little better.

Good luck to all who are waiting. Wishing you all a happy holidays and that you will be with your loved ones soon.
