Based on the other post and updates it seems like dec 2016 PD not yet completed. So 2017 is yet to get start approval

[PD3 19]

Based on the immigration-forms-data from USCIS (https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-studies/immigration-forms-data) did a small analysis on rate of approval for i 130 Family-based Preferences (FB1/FB2a/FB2b/FB3/FB4) at  California Service Center from 2016 Q1 till 2017 Q4.

High no of cases has been received between  2016 Q3 to 2017 Q2 .

The approval rate gone down since 2017 Q3. That is why the current DP is still with 4th Nov 2016 at California Service Center

Its really hard to wait!

That's actually a very interesting chart using data provided from USCIS itself. Thanks PD3, nice work! USCIS could use people like you on their workforce.

 

It shows what should be one of the focus of Uscis's Ombudsman, as it clearly proves that while the number of pending cases has almost doubled, the amount of cases being worked by quarter went to a 1/4 on 2017 Q3 and 1/3 on 2017 Q4 comparing that how it was 2016 Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4 and 2017 Q1.

 

It is just shameful.

It will probably be 2 years for most of us. It should move more when the filing date moves.

 

The next Quarter report could enlighten more on the trend or changes in worked cases.

[Sal11 5]

You mean it'll not affect the two years time frame?

 I believe there will take more than 2 years at some point in the future for some cases from filing i130 to visa approval, but right now there is not enough data to tell if that will happen for sure.

Thank you Tenreyro . I believe f2a catogery is priority than others .So they would process it first. hope f2a process does not exceed 2yrs (24months) timeline as it is now(earlier it was 18 months). Lets wait and see how does 2018 Q1 report looks like.
