How is it possible that a petition received after mine was approved before me at the SAME service center???? I called the USCIS today and nobody could tell me why they are clearing Mar 23 and Mar 28 filers but not Mar 20 filers. I know some petitions are expedited but this is NOT the case. She said, "You are still within the normal processing time so there's nothing I can do. Perhaps you should write the service center. I don't know why they are processing out of date order." Occupy VSC!!! Who's with me???? :-)

Yep, they've never processed the petitions in date order, so that's not news at all. They're assigned in batches to different adjudicators who work at different speeds, on petitions of different complexity, etc. so there's really no way to predict what sequence they'll be processed in. Not a great system, but there you have it.
