So we have around 105. Still not bad as the percentage is still May is higher. I think April cases that are left are the hard ones that would already took longer. So it won't go up higher than May cases. 30% April 70% may seems also a legit theory.

 

around 300 cases in two days. Not a bad start.

Why are they completely skipping may 11th? 😭

You are done, ten days to two weeks from now you will be freaking out about your NVC number. I am trying to say that you are done . 

 

No they are not skipping. It may seem odd that so far the 11th has only 8 approved petitions out of 181 filed. 2 are gone (withdrawal + transfer), hence 171 "live ones". But the (likely) truth is that one USCIS agent  is working from home, has or is finishing them, and once he/she is done, the entire file box(es) for May 11th will be brought back to USCIS to be entered into the website and to be mailed out. Done ! 

 

This assertion is based on the Q & A "interview" of an ex USCIS employee here on VJ. We will see the outcome soon .

@Shoegum, your daily performance, as always

 

 

 

THANK YOU !!!

thanks a lot for this overview!

I think it's a bit disappointing to be honest, as I expected a lot more today....

But let's hope for another successful day tomorrow!

 

Thanks @Shoegum for the list! very helpful

Good News Everyone, I made a mistake! 

 

@June2017UKtold me there were duplicates in June. And I will input corrected numbers in this post.

However, Why does this important for May Filers?? 

Because I manually put every April and May approval of 10/24 and realized a few things.

 

1) I am 99.9% sure some of April RFE's were to gain time.

     Other than 2 of the April approvals & RFE's from yesterday was already RFE'd. 

     Some were responses BUT some were really weird. Such as the case that got RFE on 10/23 and approved on today.

     Some RFE's changed to approval without status change to "RFE received" 

2) I am certain their system is not working properly.

    We already know this by people here telling us, however, now I am certain there are way more of these cases than we thought.

3) I am guessing some new trainee or other people are at work, and their training period might have also affected April Filers.

     This also has the affect on RFE levels, they keep RFEing more than once, some of them late in the game, so I believe some RFE's are without screening the whole petition. What I read in the past was most of the time you get 1 RFE and it usually covers everything if given in 2 close timeline.

 

Now as I am going to post this in all months;

 June Filers from my estimate, depending on things picking up to 700+ per week, your cases should start in 2-3 weeks.

 Yes it is longer than expected. However, this week and next week supposed to be May's peak time.

 

 July Filers should have a rather easy process however we cannot predict the effect of holidays.

 Although there may be some case workers coming back from holidays with bunch of status updates (all fingers are crossed ladies and gentlemen)

 

 Now the numbers;

   Virgin cases (As I'll be calling received cases from now on, cause why not? ) of April is going down slowly, 

   However, RFE's are moving way faster. But May has the weekly 70%, which is good for May filers, as most will finish eventually but awful for rest of us, for now.

  

 

So when did the April started to pick up? Because It was really hard for me to believe it took this long for them.

 And obviously this is way more fun than what I am supposed to be doing at work (Let's thank to the 16 hour time difference that I am awake and my fiance is not...) So I did this 

 

 

It's ok... I'm known to be crazy.. My future mother in law is as crazy so they accepted me extremely easily...

Sooo I also did this cause I wanted to see a possible peak point! (by then I was hoping I had a predictive analysis software on my PC... but they don't let me use my work PC )

 

 

So Everyone let's gather around and whichever power you believe in start doing your thing!

Cause for your sake and ours and all the future K1s.. and probably your AOS to GC.

 We need 700s and then some (at least a few) 1000s...

 

 (Have I mentioned I used to work as a fortune teller in a Turkish Coffee shop when I was in high school? Yeah nah, we say don't believe in it so you won't get hurt; but listen to it so you will have hope)

     

Now the links (UPDATED)

  I did check all the links, and the data. However, mistakes happen.

 If you have any concern or can't find your number, or seen duplicates, please let me know!

2) I am certain their system is not working properly.

    We already know this by people here telling us, however, now I am certain there are way more of these cases than we thought.

3) I am guessing some new trainee or other people are at work, and their training period might have also affected April Filers.

     This also has the affect on RFE levels, they keep RFEing more than once, some of them late in the game, so I believe some RFE's are without screening the whole petition. What I read in the past was most of the time you get 1 RFE and it usually covers everything if given in 2 close timeline.

 

Now as I am going to post this in all months;

 June Filers from my estimate, depending on things picking up to 700+ per week, your cases should start in 2-3 weeks.

 Yes it is longer than expected. However, this week and next week supposed to be May's peak time.

 

 July Filers should have a rather easy process however we cannot predict the effect of holidays.

 Although there may be some case workers coming back from holidays with bunch of status updates (all fingers are crossed ladies and gentlemen)

 

 Now the numbers;

   Virgin cases (As I'll be calling received cases from now on, cause why not? ) of April is going down slowly, 

   However, RFE's are moving way faster. But May has the weekly 70%, which is good for May filers, as most will finish eventually but awful for rest of us, for now.

  

 

So when did the April started to pick up? Because It was really hard for me to believe it took this long for them.

 And obviously this is way more fun than what I am supposed to be doing at work (Let's thank to the 16 hour time difference that I am awake and my fiance is not...) So I did this 

 

 

It's ok... I'm known to be crazy.. My future mother in law is as crazy so they accepted me extremely easily...

Sooo I also did this cause I wanted to see a possible peak point! (by then I was hoping I had a predictive analysis software on my PC... but they don't let me use my work PC )

 

 

So Everyone let's gather around and whichever power you believe in start doing your thing!

Cause for your sake and ours and all the future K1s.. and probably your AOS to GC.

 We need 700s and then some (at least a few) 1000s...

 

 (Have I mentioned I used to work as a fortune teller in a Turkish Coffee shop when I was in high school? Yeah nah, we say don't believe in it so you won't get hurt; but listen to it so you will have hope)

     

Now the links (UPDATED)

  I did check all the links, and the data. However, mistakes happen.

 If you have any concern or can't find your number, or seen duplicates, please let me know!
