VSC historical processing time charts

[SAP11 0]

I was just looking at the historical processing time charts for the Vermont Service Center and for I-130 petition it says that they are currently processing January 25, 2012 (based on VJ member timelines), but when I go to the timelines, I don't see any timelines with the NOA 1 before 1/25/12 being approved for the NOA2.  What are those charts referring to?  What other data are they using to come up with the processing date of January 25, 2012.  The last one I see approved for I-130 at VSC is sometime in December, 2011.

I had asked the same question sometime back. No one answered it properly.

good question! related to that, I've noted that the processing dates seem to be updated on weekends as well as weekdays. Where do the processing dates actually come from? And, is VSC actually open on weekend to process and approve petitions??

I have noticed something interesting. I was randomly entering receipt numbers based on my receipt number. When I entered numbers from EAC1290295857......EAC1290295860, I noticed that all of these petitions have been approved. Some petitions that were filed in late December haven't been approved, but many from January have already been approved.

You know I just noticed that too. One receipt number before mine and one after mine have been approved but mine has not been touched yet. That's crazy. I'm a January filer too. Should I call?

Same here. Receipt number before mine is approved but others around mine are still in initial review. It is likely that approved cases were expedited. I do not think calling them will make a difference.

From what I understand, if you have waited less than 5 months, you are within the "normal" processing window and they will not be able to tell you anything except to keep waiting.
