They still have over 1,900 cases to go for January. ;-(

On the positive side, that puts them over halfway done before January cases are the primary focus. With December cases nearly finished, expect the rate of processing to improve further!

Let's hope we see triple digit approvals though out the week

HAPPY TUESDAY, EVERYONE!

 

I'm so sorry that we all had to deal with negativity from someone who just decided to pop out of nowhere and criticize what we post on this forum. It's quite ironic that the person complaining about the people who rant about how long this waiting game is is actually the only negative person I have encountered on this site so far. I am, however, very thankful for those who stood up for us, the "ranters". Thank you! Thank you for understanding how tough the wait for the NOA2 is. Thank you for letting us whine about the process on this forum every now and then. It really helps!  

 

Some people are lucky to have support outside of this forum, but obviously, I am not the only one who finds solace in talking to people who are going through the same torture as I am. Something none of my family members have gone or are going through. Something none of my friends have any idea about. So again, thank you! I will never get tired of reading about your frustrations, and I will celebrate with you when I hear about your approval.

 

I am truly grateful to have found this forum and to have met every single one of you. Let's move on from this incident and start Tuesday with lots of positivity. We're already stressed out from the delay. So yeah, good luck to all of us who are still waiting and congratulations to those who got their NOA2 yesterday!

Actually passive-aggressive is when you make indirect comments; I am making a direct comment.  If posters need an emotional outlet, they can call their friends and family or post it on their Facebook page.  This is a forum to help each other.  I recognize that prolific unhelpful posters will disagree with me; but for the rest of us that must sort throught those posts to find the substance, I am sure that I will receive some (perhaps even a majority) of support.  Best wishes to you and yours (and, seriously, that is not a passive-aggressive comment). 

I personally find great value in ALL of the content posted in all status threads, not even just my own filing month. It's great that you apparently have such an amazing support group of friends and family and Facebook. I, on the other hand, don't have many friends or family who can relate to my situation. And I have many work friends on Facebook which means I can't talk much about my situation at all on there. Me and my fiance met through work, so once they know for sure that we are going through this process they will know he is going to leave his job and he may get unfavorable treatment because of that. I hardly even post anything on this site, but I read almost everything and it helps me cope with this process; I can only imagine that it helps others too. 

 

And I will make a direct comment as well, your attitude sucks. We are all going through an insanely difficult and stressful situation. If posting a rant or complaint or just simply talking about our day on a forum with people going through the same situation helps even just a little bit then why try to ruin that for someone? There are way more important things to get worked up about in life.

Judging by the Raw Data, my receive date only has 6 untouched cases and go figure mine is one of them....

 

That fact is extremely unnerving, as now I'm sitting here thinking why?  What could be holding it up?  I'm confident they looked at it, started processing it, but something happened during the processing that is holding it up.  Ahhh, how frustrating

 

I feel you!!!

 

I just checked the sheet and found that the cases before and after ours were already approved. Really does make you wonder if you did something terribly wrong that your case got skipped.  So worried, but trying so hard to stay positive. Not losing hope that we will get our overdue NOA2 this week.  Hang in there!

Just because the dates around you have been prossesed does not mean that yours has been looked at. the workers just grab a box of files and put them on there desk, they are not in exact order in the piles just aproxamatly. and your case might just be in a pile with more difficult cases on top of it, or on the desk of a slower worker, or even a worker that is sick or on vacation.
don't worry about it, when they start on your case they wont just put it back in the pile.

All data from USCIS are public. Someone created a software that allows to gather all that information and put it in an excel sheet. So the information is coming directly from USCIS including all the cases that have been submitted and not only the one on VJ.

Will you please share with me the location of the data and the software?

Location of data is the USCIS website.

The software is a custom made script by one of the VJ members.
