VSC - I-130 Approval rate (Some number crunching)

[tawinder 0]

So while waiting for my NOA2 from VSC and trying to keep myself busy, I took data from Igor's list and came up with the approval rate on I-130 for VSC. Now keep in mind, that this data is only based on user input on this website but it should give us a general rate. The approval rate for earlier month is low as the data I used only showed applications started since August 2011. VSC probably approved lot of applications in early months that would have been started before August 2011.

Currently we are looking at 45-50 approvals a month on Igor's list. Which means we should be looking at closing around 40-50 applications/month from Igor's list.

Currently, Igor's list show around 156 unapproved timelines since Sept. 2011. Some of the timelines haven't been updated so essentially, there are fewer people with unapproved timelines than 156. But even with 156, if the current rate is kept up, we should see the July fillers to be approved by late October (I hope!!!) or early November.

Take these numbers as you may (as this is not a scientific study). They gave me a little faith and hope. Hopefully it helps you as well in order to cope with this difficult journey.

Month - Approvals

Jan - 1

Feb - 3

Mar - 10

Apr - 8

May - 11

I would appreciate any thoughts or criticisms.

Statistics, Number crunching works in Finance and Accounting Not with USCIS. But good work on collecting and mining that information.

Anyway you seem to have applied in August, when are u expecting your approval? I applied in April, still waiting.

None of these are going to give you accurate stats unless you are really pulling out statistics data from USCIS website doing status check on all VSC case numbers and mapped them into each month. Yes, we had a VJ member who was doing this back in early this year during his spare time and it was fairly accurate.

Go create your timeline so others can learn your updates.

I was hoping by early December to have NOA2. CSC seems to be flying compare to VSC. I understand this "study" won't be accurate. Just something to give me hope, I guess.

Lot more timelines were created by VJ members from January till April this year compared to months after that. Now only USCIS knows whether that trend reflects the actual applications received by them or not.

yeah, it was just to give a general idea. it's dependent upon lots of assumptions and I only wish we could get accurate data from USCIS. anyways, I am hoping VSC speeds up and provides approval for people before me who have been waiting for a long time.
