I think its simply due to the sharp increase in applications sent in because of what people fear and perceive of Trump. 

Basically what I meant lol

I was reading the comments this morning and went and did a little searching and I came across this Thread, well google found it for me. It is some interesting insight into the process and what happens during process  at CSC. I understand that this individual did not actually work K-1's; however, the process is the same for all it seems. As suspected, it is the "hits" on the background checks that slow things down. From what I read and understand, once an officer has his cases, he has them from start to finish it seems, so it makes sense to me why we are seeing random dates coming through and not in any particular order, and if your petition is behind someone who has some "hits" on background ... well then you can expect it slows him/her down on yours. In any event ... Maybe most of you already have seen this, but for those who haven't check it out ... it's a good read, and I get the sense that these officers are out to approve petitions ... they're not out to make our lives miserable, so while it is frustrating to wait I have to believe that they are on our side and doing their due diligence to get things in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible. I hope you guys don't get behind me .. cuz I got a couple hits I know  Rest assured though ... my packet is complete with all the info required  ... so hopefully I am not responsible for too much of a slow down for you. Dang misdemeanors  .... Anyways ya'll have a great day ... and heads up all ... our day is drawing near!

Thank you for this information.  I took a look at it and it is helpful.  Makes sense what he is saying in it.  

 

Again, good luck to all of us getting this done ASAP.  

 

One day more... One day less... One day closer...

You are over 90 days now. Hope you hear something soon.

Yes, a bit over.  102 days today.  We are officially in the window of time estimate that VJ has given us.  We will see! 

 

Trying to be patient waiting for them to do something.  Hoping each day that I get the Text and/or Email that they have done it.

A text wouldn't be that good news, since remember the tracker is only updating for RFE'S, so keep your eye on the mailbox!

There's indeed a good bunch of us over the 90 days already. Oh well, guess no one here is getting approved under that magic number as it used to be the norm *shrugs*

OK, so right now, a text or email is not a good thing.  Got it.  Glad to know this.  What about the Case Tracker App, that should show something different than just received?

Well, the app takes the data from the USCIS tracker itself, which is the one that only updates for RFE'S right now, so same thing.

It's true that last week someone got a text/email and their case updated with the approval, but currently that happens like once in a blue moon.

Good thing about this is you can always think NOA2 might be on its way

From what I understand you have 4 months to schedule your interview which you would need to have within those 4 months. You need to have your medical prior to the interview. Once you've been approved you then have 6 months to travel, so you could delay it that way but I don't think you can delay it prior to having the interview... 

Your visa will only be valid for 6 months after your medical.   For instance, if you completed your medical early in June and your interview isn't until October, your visa will only be valid (and you must travel) before December. 

 

Keep that in mind for users that are trying to complete everything quickly before NOA2!

 

I'm excited for this month for us!   I pray that it go quickly and positively for all of us!

Well what about Case Status on USCIS Website, like logging in and checking it there? Is that broke as well?

Yes, that's the tracker that's being discussed.   It's apparently a hit or miss right now as far as updating goes. 

[Keith & Monica 986]

For those of you that seem to be able to check on what is happening, have you seen any movement?

[Estibaliz 3,037]

Funny enough, VJ says today CSC is working on April 1st applications. LOL, the universe seems so determined to not have April touched, now they are going backwards, from April 2nd yesterday to April 1st today  

 

Let's just hope it was mostly the holiday last week what has made things slow, because there was no movement for March here yesterday, again. Impossible to know what they are up to, but I have a theory they have been cleaning out a bit old February cases, based on the fact some people there that had been waiting for long got an RFE or approval, and they also moved the processing times to mid February.

 

Apart from that, with the tracker not working it's hard to see where they are working at, but I have yet to see a RFE for early April, though I don't scan much, just a few of the first cases of the month and around mine once in a while.

 

I was going to let you here the list of April cases, in case someone wanted to check around their dates, but having some privacy issues. Sorry

I've scanned through a few ranges of applications for the beginning of the month and haven't seen any changes in the April cases, RFE or otherwise. It may be an exercise in futility but I'm grasping for any sign of movement, no matter how slight.

I know, I do the same thing once in a while. I try not to obsess too much about it, though

 

I'm trying to share the archive with the cases again. Can someone tell me if you can see that (no privacy issues)?
