Playing Around with USCIS Case Status and saw that wac1190601003 numbers and up are not yet approved.

I did a random check and saw that most numbers beyond wac1190601003 are still not approved and below that case no. most are already approved. What I did was change the last 1 or 2 numbers... and I also changed the 9 here in the case no. i posted and made it 3 and 4 and found most cases approved too. try it!

Well i guess that's kind of comforting, must mean they really do try to do them in order of acceptance, lol

You can't always go by the numbers in chronological order. Some are not on the same desk and it depends on which petitions are being looked at.

..but I understand why you look though I admit doing it a couple of times while the i-129f was sitting and collecting dust.

haha you're right. :-) I realized it's not really in chronological order after I tried more than a hundred numbers. At least I now have an idea that our files (we have 2 i-130's)are on the "slow" desk, while some amount of numbers in chronological order have been decided already. And we're past the 5th month mark now and waiting patiently is becoming a struggle lately. Thanks for understanding my attempt to kill my frustration though. :-)

Swing,

Essentially what I am doing here starting at WAC1190519000 if this helps any.

What I have learned is that the case numbers are wildly out of order when it comes to date. Such as WAC1190584875 (July 29th) and WAC1190618560 (July 6th).

The only thing I can think of to account for that is the initial acceptance process has to be done by hand in batches and some get lost in the stack.

What I see is a handful of cases approved each week for each day, with the bulk of the processing occurring around a specific time as cases are whittled away. Its like they grab the easy ones (english speaking visa friendly countries first like UK) and leave the harder ones till they have to?

Just a thought.
