Cheers ! Hopefully it will be a fruitful day :)

Yes. We need them to keep it up with these approvals. Hope I'll hear something tonight...Miguel.Angel. I hope you're intuition is right. I don't want to go past tonight ahh. Just don't want to be over 200 days...Looks like the recent approvals are catching up with the average processing time on VJ now...up to 173...

Yeah I wish we knew exactly how many total K1's they have left for January, with and without RFE's.

specially for you!

Total January petitions (that I have found):

639

Total not approved yet (no action at all):

129

Total with RFE not approved yet:

142

Total approved for January 368 out of 639 so roughly half...

That's of course only numbers I have found and as we know there is at least 1500 more petitions received for January :)

WTFFFFF!!!! its getting from bad to worst....i ant understand y so much RFE, especially on VJ. i followed the exact directions thats on VJ and went through problem free, no RFE so what exactly is happening, are the adjudicators interpreting the things differently? Some one got RFE for the same birth certificate we sent in.

Sabi and the others, your all getting there, at least they still working on your days, would start worrying if they had jumped you all and gone feb :thumbs:

Do they tend to send RFE's in the morning and approvals later in the day? Just curious
