Who is they?

Were it so, there likely would be quite a number of DACA applications still awaiting processing... lol

The "they" I refer to is USCIS ... You said "they" state pd that "they" process applications in the order received and I say "they" lie...

OP, your turn is probably coming soon. The analogy isn't completely exact, but consider: You enter the shortest checkout line in a store. However, it moves the slowest. You're able to see that the longer lines have simpler and smaller groups of items. The few people in front of you have coupons, the cashier needs a price-check, a customer has the wrong credit card, etc. People who got into the longer line after you got into your line are being checked out (processed) before you are.

In the above example, you can see, tell, and realize what's going on. Conversely, the USCIS process is so opaque that it would frustrate a saint. As hard as it is, keep the faith.

On November 26, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

My advice... just be happy for other people and be patient. We have no idea what they did or didn't do and what exactly did they filed or what country they filed from.

Or they just got lucky.

You will see a lot of people finish before others and that is the way it goes.... fair or not.

With pain in my heart, I am happy for those who got their approval. I am sorry for those who were denied or have not received any decision. I look forward to when USCIS will make a decision on the petitions. Let the Christmas spirit touch all USCIS employees so that that they can get to work and make a decision on our cases.
