I-129F processing statistics

[Bruce n Jen 0]

I've been looking at Gary's stats last few weeks, and wondered what "current" processing times might look like if analyzed differently. Specifically I was curious about the Jul and Aug processing times on their own, not added into others. And this is what it looks like...when just considering the approved Jul and Aug NOA1's. This information only includes the approved petitions and using Gary's numbers for the days between NOA1 and NOA2. It certainly looks like on average petitions are being approved faster. I realize this is a crude assessment as there are many outstanding Jul and Aug petitions which can skew this data. But I noticed that most of the outstanding Aug petitions were filed later than the to date approved ones. Therefore, I still think there is some hope that approvals are speeding up on average.

From what I can tell also..your right in there.. I was thinking the avg timing was around 60 days..

Which for me puts in with a NOA2 on Thankgivin' and knowing how the gov..doesn't do much the day before only parties.. well could be alittle longer...

I wonder if they will take a 4 day weekend..but then some will with all that sick leave they get..So the work force will be smaller on the 24th Friday.. but of course this is only my opinion..

Most of the approvals that came for many of the August group happened during a surge at the end of September which coincided with the closing out of the government's 2006 fiscal year. For the government, which USCIS is... Oct. 1st is the beginning of the new year. There have been some August approvals after Oct. 1st. but they've been much fewer than the bunch that got approved at the end of September. Some of July's applications happened this way too. I'm an August filer who's not approved yet so I would certainly hope for anything that would shorten my wait time... but I have this sinking feeling that I'm in this for awhile. And just remember.. Veteran's Day is November 9th. Thanksgiving is November 23. Both of these are government holidays and the folks at USCIS will be off on those days.
