Hi guys, I haven't come around here much lately (been busy running the October scans and trying to keep up with all the posts, active months become so chatty ). I saw they kind of started processing November but only with a few approved cases. The same happened with October the first days and then approvals started pouring in. Just wanted to say hold on, you'll start getting your desired approvals very soon. Really hoping they start clearing up October (they have waited enough already) so that they can finally focus on you 

Thank you for that encouragement. You must feel the weariness...

It seems as though the week leading to "our time" has been the worst of the whole wait!!!

I was lucky enough to get approved on the first pass, but unfortunately not everyone had the same luck. Yeah they seem to have slowed down this week for some reason, but I'm confident they'll start working at a good pace again probably from next week

It seems they've been spending quite a bit of time cleaning up September and October (and some of those left from the previous months). I completely understand that, BUT I am going to need that We have APPROVED your case sooner than later. LOL.

October doesn't feel cleaned up at all to me. We aren't even 50% touched at this point. Feels like they've slowed waaay down this week and last.

Yes, I agree. A better phrase would be cleaning up months prior to October and slowly working on Oct.

Around 11:00 AM CST I ran a scan of 11/1 - 11/13 and didn't see any movement. It was still fairly early for the day, and given the low numbers from the previous days, I'm not convinced they've really started on November anyway, just maybe one random person - but who knows! October isn't even 50% complete yet (though we don't know how many are silent NOA2s, either); but soon... that's the best guess at this point, soon we will see real movement every day.

 

I'll do a full scan again this evening.

The economy is booming, jobs are coming back, unemployment is down, ISIS is defeated, we are buddy buddy with North Korea, yet USCIS still can't figure out how to approve in order.

Everyone appreciates the time and effort Daniel, thank you! 

 

I just wish we had a better way to know about the silent NOA2s to get a better idea of how many are actually done vs not touched, but we can only do so much with the data. I saw estimates in past months that seemed to think 30% "silent" was a good estimate, but who knows.

I don’t know about those “silent NOA’s” people 3 miles away will hear me when I get mine. LOL

I can tell you, when you finally get to see that message all the wait was worth it

It's always been a mistery really, I'd say from 30% up to even 50% can be silent for some days. The data available is so limited that I'm surprised of how much info we actually get to extract from it

Scan will be finished soon, I saw 3 or 4 approvals today. 11/17 and 11/20, I believe... wasn't watching it too closely as it's running. I'll post up results soon.

####### is up with those dates... lol so weird 

[x_driven_x 1,778]

Only 5 updates today, and 1 from last night that must have happened after I ran the scan, though I did it later in the evening... Maybe they will update a few more tonight? I'll check tomorrow.

 

I kind of feel like there is 1 lone employee who took that strange November box a month ago, and is now finishing their box up, but everyone else is on previous months still.
