applications processed quicker over Spring?

[Team Masters 1]

Hi everyone, just have a couple of questions regarding application processing times that perhaps some senior VJ members could help answer. I do know that each case is indivudal and processing time largely depends on which officer is handling each application.

1. do VSC and CSC typically process applications quicker over the late winter/Spring months as opposed to other times of the year?

2. I have seen it mentioned there is an influx of applications over the Summer months, then they clear this backlog over winter leaving Spring applications to be processed quicker. What are people's opinions on this?

3. Does anyone know of any links to past statistical data that may shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance

I can't tell you if this is true or not, only tell you our experience. We filed at the end of feb, NOA1 was March 2nd. We got our NOA2 on June 7th. There were people waiting longer than us though, especially those going through VSC. We were through CSC.

from my experience i can tell you that yes is true. me and 90% of the other march filers i know from last year got approved withing 4 months. my case was around 3 months and a half because a mistake we made at the beggining. when i was waitting for my noa2, obsessed as i was, i dug up a lot of statistics. result: march, april filers seem to get approved faster. reson: i have no idea. last year csc averange was 3 months, vsc 4.
