Thanks. I thought so! The whole idea of having to put in a "service request" is absurd, anyway. I "requested" your services when I filed the damn application. And you agreed to provide that service w

I found 22 more 2/21 petitions earlier at the USCIS website (current total being monitored = 211), including a 7/26 approval. So, there is movement even that far into February! It's coming.

I'm on board with that!

Oh, and these were all VSC petitions: meant to specify that, but VJ won't let me edit.

Could be! I wonder if your petition is in the batch that I am watching? It should be, but I probably don't have quite all of the 2/21 petitions yet. Are there others in a cluster around your receipt #, also? Yours may be part of a cluster I haven't yet discovered. It's a little like being an astronomer.

I don't think any of us really understand it :(

My only thought is that they're moving forward into February so that they can keep their "5 month average" as an actual average... Cause if they say 5 months, that would work out to some being processed slightly over 5 months, and some slightly under 5 months. But then again, if that's the case, most of us are passed the actual 5 months at this point, so they'd have to be moving into March too... Aahhh, I have no clue. I've given up on trying to understand anything that goes on at VSC.

Alas.. No. My petition is all on its lonesome, surrounded by work authorization and protected status petitions. What a terrible place to be!

Just out of curiosity, is it between EAC1290462716 and EAC1290466881? That's the region I've catalogued thus far. If not, could you post your receipt # (maybe without the last 1-2 digits, for privacy's sake, even though there isn't any personal information available from the USCIS site)? I'm hoping to be able to monitor all of the 2/21 petitions.

And there are so, SO many work authorization and temporary protected status applications! Mind-boggling.

I got an RFE - so I know my file exists :star:

OH! NO :( after all this time? :( I'm really sorry Kennard, but I am sure that you are pretty much the expert on VJ and know that the end is near for you :thumbs:

Can you think of any possible reason for your RFE?

Our story: K1 -> AOS -> ROC -> Naturalization (2012 - current)
