Hello November Filers, it's not yet our time, but I wanted to say a few things.

 

I will be doing the November scans and keeping us all updated on our cases.  Thanks to @Naes for all the hard work for ALL of the months so far, and now that she's got her Approval, it's time to help free up some of her time and I volunteered to help out with November.  I will be keeping an eye on the cases and after it looks like they've actually gotten started on November, then I will start posting daily updates for everyone. I suspect we still have a few weeks to go before they get started, but I know our time is coming! 

 

Initially, it does look like there were a few random cases touched up to this point, which could be for a variety of reasons. 

We had 3580 cases to start out with, though after some initial rejections for bad applications and withdrawals, we're now left with 3352, 19 of those being approved.

 

There were a  very small number of cases approved / sent for RFE during the last few days of March, but it's been quiet since then. 

 

Here is the chart as it stands as of 4/6: 

(The y-axis will be fixed on future charts to start at 0 instead of 75)

 

 

Please bear with me as I get into the swing of this, and don't hesitate to ask questions or let me know if there's something that would work better for you! 

I have quick question about the date in this chart.

is it still received date or submitted date?

it is a bit confusing since they now are using submitted date on new site.

thanks

Those are expedited and November 16 weirdness.

What are (accepted) reasons for expediting a case? Just being curious.

[Dave_and_Jessa 212]

From the USCIS website: 

 

USCIS reviews all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis and requests are granted at the discretion of the office leadership. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met.

USCIS may expedite a petition or application if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• Severe financial loss to company or person;
• Emergency situation;
• Humanitarian reasons;
• Nonprofit organization whose request is in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States;
• Department of Defense or national interest situation (These particular expedite requests must come from an official U.S. government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to the government.);
• USCIS error; or
• Compelling interest of USCIS.

 

It's pretty rare.  I've seen people from war zones get denied for expedition.

I see, I was wondering as there are obviously some cases.

Hi, I am a Filipina and my Fiancé is a US Citizen. Got our NOA1 on Nov. 22, 2017 but in January 30, 2018 my Fiancé was arrested and charged of Child Pornography and currently out on bail. As for his arrest, will that cause our application automatically rejected?

Wowzers.... is your only concern the application status... or is there any concern/conflict regarding the charges..?
