Yuuup that's the one...

 

I will do another scan tomorrow.. maybe some new employee at CSC stayed over trying to impress his supervisors and updating the system

Hi can you please tell me what scan you are referring to? Thank you

Hello!

 

People on the forums run scans of the USCIS system to see if there has been any progress on cases. Since you filed in November, it is unlikely too see any movement in November cases (as they have not even finished processing May/June).

In addition to @Jaquelly, if you want to see yourself too you can use case tracker app. You can find it in the app stores.

Hello everyone!

 

I'm back..

To tell the truth going to see the fiancé and my future home, and coming back made me a little bit sad and more depressed than I was before I went... complicated times this is!

 

The cats are happily settled.... way too happily to tell the truth! 

They did not even check or look at the cats when we were entering through LAX (This changes depending on the state - California doesn't ask for anything from cats)

#Americancatfoodrocks 

 

I can't believe so many people from June and even May friends are still waiting for NOA2...actually no, no ... I can't believe so many people are still waiting for NVC.

 

I won't be able to give a good weekly yet, as they are not updating properly.

Which I am guessing they are not comfortable with us telling them 

"Dude you are so not doing June 1 cases"

 

So I updated all the months even under the current circumstances, 

to give an idea of how much pending case we have left.

-------

Non-updated Noa2s

However, my personal thoughts after seeing how the cases flow and update/non-update works.

I believe June virgins are actually around 1300s, and some July cases will get their approval in the upcoming week without an update.

 

NVC Wait

Right now average looks like 45+ days, you can also find list we are putting together in my signature if you want to check how that wait is going at the moment. This wait is caused because USCIS is not sending Approved petitions, it is not a wait happening at the NVC level.

-------

I will be watching the situation through this week, to have better updates, and information on how things look.

 

Monthly situation is as follows;

	June	July	Aug	Sept	Oct	Nov	Total
Approved	946	15	13	6		1	981
Virgin (Untouched)	1884	3263	3519	3176	3770	3304	18916
Touched (RFEs,Updates)	853	135	139	129	128	67	1451
Excluded	358	383	404	287	244	205	1881
Total	4041	3796	4075	3598	4142	3577	23229

 

For months after August,

I would say watch for when they update the website information to July 1.

Because the "as of" they'll give will show us if they will try and speed up their approvals.

We already know October 31 update is not really truth, however they did by then touched all May cases. so the real update for the next one normally should be July 1 as of December 31 (which is not exactly correct either), However I expect if they actually speed up the process they may give us a July 1 as of November 30 update!

PS_I don't put this post in June, or May. Because they have a lot to deal with right now already. And there was no information that can help them at the moment. When upset and angry let's all remember that we are all in the same boat here. Good luck to all of us.

I so recognize what you are saying about feeling sad after visiting your fiancé...what I use to be save and comfortable with... it's not anymore.... It normally takes me 1 one week of two to Realize that I'm back In Holland... 

Its like they say " Home is where your heart is"

 

@Naes I think you are doing a great job to be so helpful with us. Even though is not your month...

I'm so grateful, and I can say in behalf of everyone here on this forum... for your help and for the others that are constantly checking things out for us...

 

I hope when comes your time, things gonna work as easy as you guys are trying to do for the all of us...

 

I downloaded the USPS app  (informed delivery) yesterday and registered together with my fiancé, that so the both of us can see when our NOA2 comes through the mail... I hope it works.. 😎

So if I'm reading the table correctly, they approved petitions for September filers and 1 November filer???

Wow! There's already 6 approved cases from the month of September??? This shows that they've been picking out random cases, hmmmm.... Also, what does excluded means?

Yes, that's called expedited process.

Some cases of especially military personnel who is about to get deployed can apply for expedite.

Those are expedited cases, every month has them.

There is no random selection happening. It is normal.

I wish I had more info to give, but they are really not updating much.

I just realized you also asked about excluded- it is mostly rejected cases and decision notices. Cases that will be excluded from pending so we won't be counting them. But I put them anyways to give an idea of how many cases were to start with.

[Ralf2017 22]

@Naes Since I'm new to this blog, given you scans every month, are there less petitions from October/November than June/July...? I heard that applications tend to be less during the US winter time...

 

Also, I heard that the last two digits of the receipt # is the order in what it has been received. So if it is WACXXXXXX12 then this app was the 12th app received on that day.. is that true?

Well as you can see from the date I put October for example actually has more applications than June or July or even August.

 

This year application numbers went lower but they also got slower.

And unless they finish June, July , August then September etc. they won't go to the next months...

 

So Either they are going to rocket through this months which doesn't look like it at the moment. otherwise nope, winter months won't me suddenly finishing in 3 months unless other months finish. If they go faster from now on it may come down a little bit, but as explained here before, I wouldn't expect them to go down to even 5 months that easily... Not that I wouldn't like it...
