Hi All,

Currently have an I-130 pending, and frustrated (and confused) with all the processing times out there, based on anecdotal and second hand info. So I was thinking of creating a database of sorts, by "scraping" processing times directly from the USCIS case status website. I'm a newb coder so probably would take me at least a month to get anything substantial going though.

I was wondering if anybody would use this info or would it make people more depressed? Or if the gov't would get mad that I'm scraping their data, and making real-time info available? Or if this would be some kind of legal/ethical violation. Comments? Before I start really cracking into this thing.

Anybody know if anybody else ever tried this before? Or already have it developed? Igor's list is incomplete at best.

Suggestions: Read the T&Cs of the website first. In addition, send an e-mail to the webmaster so they are aware of your activity and don't mistake it for a cyber attack leading to DOS.

Good luck and happy coding!

another member has done that here, this year.

plus 40 points if you can find his thread.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Actually two of us. Me followed by Sabi with fiancee visas. I think, it's made us more depressed.

We didn't supply any case numbers, just numbers of approvals that we could find. We couldn't see anything that told us that we were breaking the rules and I sincerely hope not.

It's given hope yes, but ultimately some depression that so many cases had no activity.

We did NOT create a scraping program. Just hand punched numbers in sequence.
