I read some posts a few days ago about tracking your "group" on the USCIS website. So I put my case numbers in and then changed the last numbers up and down to determine how many were in my group. There are 10 total in my group and two of them are approved, one today the 16th and one from the 12th. Is this really an indication that mine should be looked at soon? Or is it just totally random and these "groups" really have no significance? Thanks for any response.

Once recieved petitions are boxed and stored until they get to the front of the line. Activity of closely numbered petitions usually indicates your box has been sent to the floor and petitions are being pulled for processing. That doesn't mean that you may not have a snag or be the luck recipient of extra random checks but it is a good sign.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I understand about random checks, RFE's etc. Just hoping I'm not in the unlucky group receiving those.

How far up and down the numbers do you go? Is your 'group' just other K1 petitions? I'm confused about how it works.

Yes, change the numbers down until the petition type changes from I-129F to something else. Then do the same for numbers above yours. In theory then you will isolate your "group" and can count how many are in it as well as check for approvals etc

What if there are no I-129F petitions either side of our number? The number before and after ours are both work related visas.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

checked my group, it goes from XXX448 to XXX546; going above or below these numbers changes the petition type. I would guess two boxes are on the floor? 60% approved, 20% RFE, and 20% still to be processed.

As previous posters mentioned, I'm not sure how accurate this is but most of my "group" have seen approvals from Sept 4 to October 15.

I read some posts a few days ago about tracking your "group" on the USCIS website. So I put my case numbers in and then changed the last numbers up and down to determine how many were in my group. There are 10 total in my group and two of them are approved, one today the 16th and one from the 12th. Is this really an indication that mine should be looked at soon? Or is it just totally random and these "groups" really have no significance? Thanks for any response.

Do you have the link to this?
