Realistically, it won't happen, but I'm praying for a miracle for all of us that it happens under 6 months..

after we arrived in Sept, we had to drove 8 hours to James's parents house to refuge from Irma hurricane, then went back to James house then me gone ...it was so many things happened to him  that he insisted to eat and go out and he lost few pounds lol.

Well obviously he recovered from stress 😁😁😁

They are doing May and June right now. The latest date we have is June 12 approved. 

 

So so I would expect End of march and April for October to start at this rate. Check back again in a few months to see if there's process..

Did you really count your cat's fingers? Omg, i need to count mine cat's as well! I thought she has 5 each, so 20 in total, for one cat??

The very first time I was cutting their nails my roommate panicked about how our cat was injured and didn't have all the fingers 😂😂😂😁😁 (I had a cat when I was 11 so I panicked back then hehehe)

Thank you for your response.

 

I was a November 2016 filer and my case was approved on February 2017. Let's pray for similar timings this year

That would be my dream..

 

however in reality the average wait is 180-200 days right now. I am expecting it to get faster to 160s but I don't want anyone to get disappointed in the end. so all finger crossed that they're going to start approving 400 cases per day

Please do not hold your BREATHE on 400 cases per day you are talking about the U.S. GOVERNMENT

Hi everyone,

 

By now, you know I am crazy right?

Ok so that's established... I checked March hehe....hehe... distraction from the most needed fire....

It is getting extremely close to my wedding venue... (I feel so bad for even thinking like this )

 

These are the concluded cases - only concluded cases- that will appear as either denial or approval on USCIS reports for this quarter.

This data has March to November mostly up to date.

 

	March	April	May	June	July	Aug	Sept	Oct	Nov	Total
Oct W1	74	163	111	7	8	7	16	31		417
Oct W2	58	109	191	4	2	2		62		428
Oct W3	70	95	161	1	1			42		370
Oct W4	60	84	239	2		1		47		433
Nov W1	63	105	345	12	9	11	3	56	8	612
Nov W2	23	59	223	8	3		3	1	41	361
Nov W3	29	83	278	20	2	4	1		26	443
Nov W4	17	74	172	69	1					333
Nov W5	31	63	187	115	2					398
Dec W1	4	35	93	105						237
Total	429	870	2000	343	28	25	23	239	75	4032

 

As it shows around 4000. I want to add something to that number.

I've checked all of March and April.

 

And this is how it looks (I have also checked February but not relevant to our numbers at the moment.)

 

	March	April	Total
Received	2105	830	2935
Pending	859	593	1452
Approved	1019	1898	2917
Excluded	679	636	1315
Total	4662	3957	8619

 

Apparently, especially in March the tracker wasn't working properly,  and I believe we can easily say the same for April & a 20% of May. 

However, as most of March was done by October, I'll only give a 500 cases concluded in this Q for them, and about a 1000 for April.

I believe we can also easily say a 500 cases in May goes into the same category.

 

So I'll be generous about denials and Make this a total of 3000 cases not updated on the tracker.

which makes a 4000(from above)+3000=7000

 

As a low expected number per quarter would be around 10000 cases. we have 3000 to go.

 

This is a close touch to the end of June to July.

I hope they won't suddenly slow down again, 

however at this point I am expecting for June to be touched every where by Christmas (just like May a few weeks ago, touched everywhere but a few Juners waiting around)

 

And for July to start slowly please understand this really means slowly.

Just like May and June it will start with small amount of 30-40s would be my estimation.

 

I really hope things can pick up further, because at this moment I believe VJ timelines are +-a week correct.

 

But hey I am still hoping for a Valentine day approval----romantic in me never dies and I like to live dangerously

 

*Notice for new comers:

(I'm sorry if anyone is new and never heard or read about the past calculations and discussions has been made here.)

 However, 2 important things to know would be

  1) They don't update every status correctly, we have seen many approvals without an update on the USCIS case tracker

  2) The new month tends to start when "case received" status is around 1000s
