Delivered: Date when package was received by USCIS
NOA1: Date when NOA1 was issued (found on NOA1 hard copy or notice date)
*: USC filed from abroad

Days: Business Days

Modified the above list to provide some addition information to viewers.

Some of the observations based on July VJ Petitioners:

Number of I-130 petitioners participated : 18

Petitioners issued NOA1 in 2 business days: 6

Petitioners issued NOA1 in 1 business day : 4

Petitioners issued NOA1 in 3 business days: 3

Petitioners issued NOA1 first business day: 1
Petitioners issued NOA1 in 4 business days: 1
Petitioners issued NOA1 in 5 business days: 1
Petitioners issued NOA1 in 6 business days: 1

Petitioners issued NOA1 in ? business days: 1

Shortest time USCIS took to issue NOA1 in July: Same business day (Delivered Saturday, NOA1 was issued on Monday)
Longest time USCIS took to issue NOA1: 6 Days (I wonder if the user provided mailed day vs delivered day)

On an average, it took USCIS 2.3 days to issue NOA1.

3 USC filed at the Service Center in the US from living abroad.

NOA1s were also issued on Saturdays and Holidays. One NOA1 was issued on an holiday and 2 were issued on Saturdays.

Lastly, some service centers accept mail on Saturdays while the others don't.

Been following you all and decided to create an account for us as well...

And come over to the Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia local forum! :)

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
