What are you talking about? How can we know all cases which one is approved or which one still be processing?

Maybe you know it exactly because you are working at USCIS, is that right? I can tell.

USCIS is processing cases from November 2015 according to the processing times available at the USCIS website: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do

Please stop giving false information or you will be banned from this forum.

But my friend is approved last month (May/11/2016 - November 16, 2016

Regardless of whether or not your friend really did get his application approved, you need to realize a couple of things about the USCIS:

1. There is no method to their madness. There will ALWAYS be outliers in their approvals (some who got their approval super early and others dragged on for now apparent reason).

2. USCIS works on their own schedule. No amount of data or past history can accurately tell you when any particular application will be approved. It might be a halfway decent guideline but never a rule.

The only time you need to start thinking about contacting them or setting up an inquiry is if your application is outside of their published processing time window. You have been provided the link to the USCIS processing times and it clearly shows that they are currently processing cases filed in November 2015. Just because your friend might have gotten approved (which I too am very skeptical of) does not mean that everyone else should see their cases approved as well.

You need to quit your moaning and groaning and sit tight. You are in for a long ride and really don't have much of an option but to suck it up and wait. Unless of course you are a troll, in which case just GTFO!

My USCIS Journey...

Hey guys, sorry to bother you. I applied for removal of conditions on may 5th and still haven't heard a word from USCIS. Is anybody on the same boat? I am starting to worry since I haven't even got an RFE.

I called the customer service line this past Friday and the gentleman was kind enough to put a service request on my case since I haven't heard no updates and it's been more than 6 months.

Just wondering if this is normal.

Hey. Mine was received on May 5th and i put a online case inquiry on Nov18 and they reply on Nov30 with this :

On November 18, 2016, you or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your I-751/CRI89 to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.

According to our electronic systems, we received your biometrics on June 3, 2016.

Your petition is still pending consideration. We regret that we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will complete the review of your petition.

I had no idea on still pending consideration means but I will gave them another two weeks before I start calling them. :clock::clock::clock:

Thanks for sharing your situation guys. I am sure my case inquiry will result in a very similar letter.

I guess I just have to be patient, it just makes me nervous when I see some later cases getting approved sooner than others but thats how this works....

I'll let you know if anything changes with my situation.

I actually called them. speak to a so-called Tier 2. I honest dont think it helps. all they can tell you are some general info. Tier 2 , i think is just someone who can get to see more of your profile in their system. But if it's pending consideration , what She told me was " Please wait patiently for the officer to review your case ."

Let's say this Jimbo who's handling our case is having constipation , so s/he wants to hold our case as long as possible . what can we do except wait ?

I was watching Conjuring , really helped me relaxed. :dancing:

Today I submitted an inquiry about my case in "Outside Normal Processing Time" category.

Right after submission, it shows a message telling - 'Your case is within the normal processing time'.

I mailed application on May 10

NOA dated: May 23.

My case is a Divorce Waiver based on Good Faith Marriage.

Any idea - why is it saying 'It is still within normal processing time' ?

Thanks

I think I've read someone else saying it has to be 30 days past the 6 months time before you can submit a request online.

I might be wrong.

You will. USCIS approves like 8 lucky cases as soon as the 6 months mark approaches. Then they drag everyone else remaining for 3 months and more, approving 1 or 2 cases a week. A real struggle! Edited by mpv
