DACA renewals better be handled by NBC! NOT service centers! Also, if NSC wants their Feb numbers look better than sh*t, today is their last chance to fix it! come on NSC, start approving!!!!

Ok, Team NSC at Visa Journey! Let's pull all collective energy together so that some of us can get NOA2s today! There haven't been many (if at all) this week so far. I'm praying that all or at leas

There was an October approved today guys!!! Keep up the positivity!

What I find more telling is that there was also an April approval, and several Junes. At this point seeing an October approval smells of them manipulating the stats in order keep the average processing time down.

Could be, but if we start seeing more October approvals then I guess they're really working on October.

What I've noticed, with a few exceptions, is that all the NSC approvals are the transfers. October it seems is the month that the mass influx of transfers ends and the mass amount of directs begins. It will certainly get my attention when the approval rate starts to swing in the direction of direct filings. Until that happens, I'm withholding excitement. I'm going to be going to see my wife again the second half of May (for her birthday). I swear the two of us, but her in particular, could really use the boost.

I know what you mean. Hopefully we'll start to see more October approvals, then you'll be up next pretty soon!

Tell your wife only positive news haha, that will give her the boost. Good luck!

It really sounds like agents get cases assigned as they come in and they work on them in order but some work faster through their queue then others for whatever reason and so get to later dates faster...it fits the kind of strange pattern we see

VJ Peeps,

I'm still fairly new and you may be correct but the processing times they post are called "averages." So to me that means some will be way before and some way after but the "average" may indeed by the current 5 months. Thoughts?

The way I understand it is that those times are not average processing times but a time frame. So it can be a couple of weeks less or more, that's why you're supposed to contact them after 30 days, not right away when it's not exactly that time frame for your case. (Also sometimes they show a filing date instead of the processing time in months, that's definitely not the average but the PD they are processing)

6/5/2013 got married

11/14/2013 mailed I-130

11/19/2013 I-130 NOA1 (NSC)

12/20/2013 mailed I-129f (just in case)

12/27/2013 I-129f NOA1 (NSC)

1/2/2014 ARN changed on both I-130 and I-129f

1/7/2014 I-129f updated/touched?

11/10/2014 NOA2 FINALLY!!! (after 356 days & 4 service requests)

There are two opposing forces at work here. The first is that processing is supposed to take place in the order received. I don't know all of the ins and outs at the federal level of government, but having decades of experience with local and county level government, there are certain things where extraordinary efforts are made to rule out any possible accusations of improper favoritism. In fact so much so that the entire effort to ensure fairness winds up tripling (or more) the cost of whatever it oversees and inevitably slows down the entire process because of all the inefficiencies.

The opposing force to first in first out is the target processing time which I believe is 5 months, just like the recently updated claimed processing time for Nebraska at the USCIS website. If you are in fact processing in the order received, the only reason to have an "average" at all should be to take into account delays caused by RFEs. Theoretically speaking, were it not for RFEs and assuming FIFO, they should pretty much have the processing time nailed down to the number of weeks per application. But instead we have this nebulous "average" processing time which allows for a substantial amount of wiggle room. Furthermore, I don't know if the expedites are factored into this average or not, but if they are then we sort of have a curve busting element thrown into the equation. It seems like there are a few lucky lottery winners who get processed at the speed of light for no apparent reason, there are a few who languish for a year or more because their file was accidentally used to prop up the short leg on someone's desk, and then there's everybody else.

If the community of people here are indeed a pretty good representation of the actual caseload that USCIS takes on, then you can see some trends that are likely very close to what's going on. The one thing that drives me nuts here is people who fail to update their timelines at all or who update it several months late. It makes looking into the crystal ball all the more difficult.
