Here are the 6/6 stats for Feb.

 

Please be aware that the data source is the online tracker which is broken. It does not accurately update for approvals and nobody knows why. This means that the data behind these stats are off (missing many approvals).

 How did you track that?

106 days of waiting... Feb 21 received date with a notice date of feb 24... I know there are ones that have been waiting 20 days longer than me. But I think the most frustrating part about this is the fact that there are people ahead of feb 21 that have already received their approvals and are already at NVC?? It makes absolutely no sense professionally wise. Then again we are talking about the United States government!! If they had any decency and order to the way they process cases there wouldn't be chaos... starting with Feb 01 and moving forward  consecutively should be the only way they process cases... not random  sporadic working of cases. This leaves people waiting sometimes 6 months for their approvals as we can very well see based on the fact that people from December and January that have yet to be approved. Yes 6 months is the standard wait time but tell me how in the hell it takes HALF a year to process 1 months worth of fiancé visas. It's totally ridiculous to say the least... even if they had a increase of applicants. This process is the biggest load of crock I've probably ever witnessed... also for the amount of money that we pay for the petition it ought to be FedExed over night to the NVC and also priority to the country of origin where it's going to the embassy!! These workers are paid by our tax dollars yet they charge an outrageous fee to process some piddly ol paperwork. The process is out dated at minimum. I've had and still maintain a strong conservative stance on immigration including illegal immigration and now I see why people come here illegally after only beginning this process... Just a little frustrated today y'all. I'd hate to hear the horror stories of years past of people who have dealt with this process. 

They don't know that we can see the data. With being able to see the data there comes certain consequences. You took the red pill.

 

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." The term red pill refers to a human that is aware of the true nature of the USCIS.

How did you track that?

The short answer is a bunch of code I wrote that scrapes the data from the USCIS case tracker.

For the affidavit of support if you make a good salary do you still need to list all your assets?

I'm not to sure if it's you or your fiance that's from the UK but i would really appreciate if you could keep us fellow UK'ers updated on how you get on with this next step  I'm only a day after you so hopefully my fiance will get something in the post soon!

It's me who is based in the UK, and I'll be sure to keep all our fellow UK'ers updated

What about listing all debt as well? If I make more than enough salary do I still need to list anything in the "mortgage and other debts" field? Not proud of it but I definitely have some debt haha. I was thinking to list what student loan debt I have at minimum, but do I even need to include anything at all if my salary is enough? Argh.

My lawyer never asked me for debt when we were putting the affidavit together. Personally, I did not provide debt, as it would only hurt my case. I would not have if I had gone without a lawyer.

Some interesting information here. My fiance made an appointment to go to her local USCIS office. The guy told her alot more than we know, and apparently our petition got send in February already to Amsterdam. I was really confused and thought we somehow got the NOA2 already and it went through NVC, but that's not true. He told her that the officer at my consulate needs to have the final say to have it approved, and he was almost sure the reason for the delay was that I got a B2 visa denial almost a year ago. Just this Friday the officer in Amsterdam began to look at our petition, so hopefully this means we got approved. Also he told her that the 'Tier 2' officers have no power and I'm 100% sure if you make an appointment with your local USCIS office you can find out more.

 

Stay strong and soon we will hear something!

Oh no...my fiance had a b2 tourist visa denial last year too....#######

I have considered making my solution available to someone who is skilled enough when I move on.  But for now, no. It's complex and requires money, time and IT knowledge to maintain. Money to create rotating IPs to prevent getting banned from the USCIS site when scraping, time to take the resulting data and update pivot tables and charts and IT knowledge to maintain the code and know what to do when it breaks. My solution is very raw and requires a high degree of knowledge of what data is being scraped and how the code is interacting with it.

 

Also, some people would likely scan non-stop all day, and that can't happen, else USCIS will probably become even less transparent and block the scanning.

It shouldnt have an effect since the b2 is for another purpose to travel to the US, the officer said that himself. Don't worry about that!
