Update of the graphs comparing May and June regarding the length of time from Received to Approved one month later (as to 01/20/2018), this time including July under the same conditions.

 

As a reminder, in the graphs below I try to compare what happened within the next 190 days after that last day of May, June and July 14th (last day with approvals) received cases. In order to see them clearer I put them together in pairs.

 

In that time, with a total of 1877, 818 and 243 approved cases (after removing some outliers) respectively:

 

• May had a global mean of 175.25 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 14.06 days.
• June had a global mean of 186.05 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 9.16 days.
• July had a global mean of 193.91 days from Received to Approval date, with a standard deviation of 3.28 days.

 

Even if it doesn't look very good (way less approvals in the same period of time for July and also starting from 185+ days) just remember that, because of the holidays, they haven't worked the same number of days, and more importantly, haven't been very consistent updating approvals, which is why these results only apply to the information it comes from, the unreliable information updated by USCIS.

 

If they keep the rate of approvals seen in the last days, I believe we'll start seeing a clear improvement in the next one or two months. Let's hope!

Lastly, the trend line for the average processing time of all cases received every considered day and approved within the next 204 days, as to 01/20/2018.

 

This time I have added some extra data in case you're interested (number of approved cases, number of received cases and percentage of approved cases (out of received)). As before, note that only updated cases could be considered.

 

As expected it's still too soon for a downward trend, but hopefully we'll start seeing some change by next month!

Looks like the average wait time increases about 10 days per month.. let’s hope that starts moving back in the opposite direction 🤞🏼

So I called a Rapid Visa a couple days ago in regards to an email I received from them stating they are "Approving" October Cases, and they told me 'We have people through our service they have been approved already, so keep checking" and they once again told me to check my status, and obviously it just says "Case Received" If anyone else has gone with Rapid Visa, check your emails or call them.. I think they are talking out of their you know what, but who knows..

We hit the 100 days point yesterday too, hope things are going to speed up!! Things are looking better with a lot off approved cases last week. In 16 days i'm going to the US again to visit my fiancé for ten days, i can't wait.

Hellloooooooo Everyone  

 

June and July had a big update of case statuses yesterday.

They updated backdated approvals too. 

 

This is the details of work done in January (only updated cases)

 

 

	June	July	Total
Jan W1	231	4	235
Jan W2	311	22	333
Jan W3	551	323	874
Total	1093	349	1442

 

I'm sure you can see how different it looks when they actually update things online!

We still have lots of cases (dates) that are not updated in the first part of June. 

But here are the latest view into every month!

 

	June	July	Aug	Sept	Oct	Nov	Dec	Total
Approved	1317	263	13	6		1		1600
Received	1358	2941	3519	3176	3770	3304	3297	21365
Touched	996	206	139	129	128	67	27	1692
Excluded	370	386	404	287	244	205	185	2081
Total	4041	3796	4075	3598	4142	3577	3509	26738

 

 

 

 

I'll be here with any other update if I get anything else during the weekends!

 

Good luck to all of us!

I’m going through rapidvisa aswell. I haven’t received an email from them regarding October filers. Our NOA1 date was October 19th. I did chat with them last week and all that was said was “this is the longest wait and you don’t need to do anything other than wait for your case to get noa2.” But they did say that they found the average for NVC to be about 3 weeks

Soo maybe we should inform them, they are so not doing October, and the wait for NVC is about 6 weeks?

I create them myself, you can also check status information of overall cases using a case tracker app (which lets you check up to 4000 cases per 2 days)

 

This is just gathered information. used a pc instead of app, that I put out for everyone to see.
