So I am predicting with 60% certainty that SD beginning with March will receive a review within 35 day window. Don't believe me? Hop into the newbie threads and you will learn that case creation (case#) time frames have been reduced from 42 days to about 7-14 days (currently avg around 10 days).

Congratulations to everyone who is and will receive a CC... we all deserve to be with our loved ones.

Seize the day!

PS: I'm very excited that the backlog is decreasing and/or NVC is working harder (??).

Yeah. It's great to hear. Hope the EP process time get shorten much faster. Since we are still at 70 days! Hope all the remaining Jan filers get CC soon!!!

I think it was 30 days back in 2014 Aug then somehow it just lagged behind! And hear, hear, we all should be with our loved ones.

It sure is great news. I know they were receiving 25,000 approved petitions a week from USCIS mid-2014 at the height of the backlog and this has dropped to about 16,000 a week. They may have just started to finally have gotten on top of things.

Not that I want to be the voice of doom, but I wouldn't be surprised if we started to see delays stretching into the scheduling of interviews now if they're completing more cases. It might not be as severe as there's obviously more than one embassy to share the load, but I still hope the embassies are prepared for a higher number of completed cases. The NVC sure weren't when USCIS got on top of it's backlog last year. And of course DACA has either started or will start again soon (I haven't been keeping up with the news), so I can see the cycle starting all over again at USCIS. Hopefully they learnt a few lessons from the last time around.

I found out 10 days ago that I got a checklist, and after one week without getting an e-mail I called again and they told me what I needed to send. I sent them in yesterday with the barcode cover sheet that I sent the first time. Of course, this morning I woke up to the checklist e-mail and it says I must include "this" cover sheet when submitting this form and a copy of the letter in the e-mail. Do I need to resend everything again? Or is the original barcode sheet I got okay to have used? Thanks in advance for your advice!

You should be fine - I did the same thing. As long as you included the information that they requested and you have a cover letter with your barcode (which doesn't change - regardless of the cover letter version) - you should be good.

Now, if there is MORE THAN 1 packet being mailed, all requests need to be in separate mailings with their own barcoded cover sheets as the first page of each mailing.
