We now are up to 10 RFE's for today for 10/31 cases as of 3 PM PST (CSC time) when I ran the app.

I expect a lot of approvals today based upon the number of RFE's.

We will see as normally the approvals are greater than the daily number of RFE's (normally)

What's the first WAC # you're using? Thanks!

Saw today were "Trump" signed a paper freezing all government hiring for now. I hope that "one" person ( so it seems ) working in California is not expecting help soon nor take off for vacation or gets sick. ?

Hello Geowrian,

The first WAC is 1790049058 although in the past I went back to 048 there maybe one or two there as well. I only go out 500 but that seems to capture the bulk of 10/31 receipt dates.

Another member here is compiling something more expansive as we speak.

hahaha...1 guy named "Milton"  he gets nothing but grief

Well the good news about the hiring is even if they hired 1,000 people this week it would not speed of our cases one bit for NOA 2 as they would have to be trained which would likely take even more time away from "Milton" to knock out his case load however this is a moot point. Again the folks working our cases are contracted by the Federal Government and not actually paid by taxpayer dollars. They are paid by OUR dollars from Petition fees for services that WE requested.

The slowdown was a training issue. It's just they're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now.

Hi Jim and amoeba&md,

I've also seen a few people transpose the month with the day.  Most of the world does DD/MM/YYYY, and we Americans (plus I don't know who else...), we do MM/DD/YYYY.  So, I've seen people, probably out of habit, transpose the months and days.  For example putting April 1st 2017 instead of January 4th 2017 for an NOA date.  I've seen a fair share of fat fingering as well.  So there is always a little bit of 'bad data' when there is self reporting.  This messes with our calculated timelines if the NOA is off, but probably not significantly.

Hey everyone!

Many thanks for the kind and useful replies about the NOA's date and our timelines.

 

Forena, yeah! The date format is the worst enemy for our timelines, lol. The wikipedia article on date format by country is really awesome:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
Ok, enough off-topic...

 

Keep the dates accurate and updatede couples! (lol)

May USCIS give us many approvals soon!

Welcome to Costco. I love you. (Different Mike Judge movie)

Sooooooo...good Monday afternoon to the thread here!

I know there has been some concern over the weekend that our new Administration might curtail or stop processing of K-1's and petitions.

Happy to report this is currently not happening. I'm 100% confident everyone who already filed last year will already have NOA 2 before any major changes are made affecting our K-1's.

White House Press Secretary was just asked an hour ago about DACA (allowing children of illegals) which has been a huge debate and he said at present Pres. Trump has no intention of changing anything at this time.

If any changes were to made to immigration it would likely start with DACA and not with our honey bunny petitions.

 

I just ran a quick USCIS app check and sure enough we already have 2 RFE's sent out today 1/23 for two cases received on 10/31.

This means CSC is still actively working our petitions.

 

Some other data. I checked last month and this months 10/31 approvals.

There was a TEN day period in December where CSC approved ZERO cases, Dec 9th thru Dec 19th - not a single action or even RFE 

There was also ZERO approvals from Dec 30th thru Jan 5th.

That is over 2 week where they did NOTHING for what reason we don't know it surely wasn't just the holidays.

Anyway it doesn't really matter anymore. They are back working cases now and we can't turn back the clock.

 

Here is hoping for many approvals this week.

 

Jim

 

Thanks for the info, but just to clarify that illegals is not a noun. You can say undocumented families/people/folks. 

 

Wishing you all NOA2s soon!
