There's no line and petitions aren't even done in the order received. You have to understand background checks and all that is being done and documents verified one might take longer than another. A box labeled May 16, 2012 may get opened and adjudicated before some box labeled October 2011.

But there's no line. You can't go by someone else's timeline. Sorry

This is actually not correct. While it's possible a box (not even sure they are stored in "boxes" from today might get distributed before one from yesterday but that's not what impacts timelines being different. Once a group of case files is put in an adjudicators current queue, they will perform multiple steps on each case file. Sometimes there are delays at one or more of the steps and sometimes those delays are because the case needs to sit in somebody else's queue for a period of time.

They are not just randomly going back and pulling groups of cases that are filed more recently. Once the case is currently being worked it's a process with flow and cases flow at a different rate.

Hmmm okay. Just figured like me getting adjudicated in 3 months 1 week 5 days and people months before still waiting. Yesterday was 5 months since I filed and I am at NVC slowly wading through.

But Boxes they even say they have boxes of cases when you call so I figure thats what they bundle them up in. And reading that adjudicators interview seems they grab sometimes at will what catches their eye especially he says that stack of the whole family immigrating theres credit for each one and they like that.

Oh well Thanks for correction learn new things everyday.

I don't have a firm answer for why some cases get adjudicated much faster than others, but if the cases are in boxes, how would they know there's a family case in the box until after it comes out of storage?

My best guess is that when they need to go pull an expedited case, maybe they just take the whole box and the rest of the folks get lucky.
