That's a fair amount. Would you happen to know how many November has? Bc idk if it's my impression but it seems like it's taking longer than other months, and not even considering that they were all over the place during November lol

Let me post all months give me a minute.

 

However before that December probably has a little bit more than that I'd say about 100 or 200 more. 

And November should be about 3500 too. This decrease in speed has nothing to do with the number of cases.

Not off the top of my head, but I know @x_driven_x has all the info on that. He also did a chart how fast (or slow) they are working through November compared to other months.

Naes you are awesome!

 

There are a some December cases that are not found on the old database and thus not picked up by the scan.

Hi im a 12/7 filer too! congrats on your approval! :)) Did they notify you that you were approved? or you just checked religiously day to day on apps or their websites?

Hi Guys!

 

Sorry for taking a while, I am trying to closeup my accounts and taxes as I will be leaving Japan in a week (can't believe finally!!!)

 

As the new system came out, old system does not really update much. I estimated by comparing USCIS official reports for quarter 1 that we saw 30% of approvals as silent, and recently with the implementation of the new system (new website) it looks like this number is decreasing.

 

Scans (and case tracker app) are using the old site for reference, therefore the number of cases in the places that we can see, can no longer be considered for a good reference point.

However, the dates are more important than the number of cases we see that has movement in order to guesstimate how far they go, and when the next month can start.

 

Please use these two websites to check your personal cases:

Old website, same info as apps: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

New website need to log in: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov

 

There are also cases that are totally silent and never get any update, and/or gets updated really late; it is advised to register for USPS informed delivery if your area is covered.

USPS INFORMED DELIVERY - https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

 

Monthly Status:

 

Explanation:

Excluded: Rejected and withdrawn cases (I just put here for reference - does not matter to you as long as you have your wac number and noa1 receipt)

Virgin: Never been touched (case status never changed from "case was received")

Touched : Any update (Such as RFE, name update, birthdate update etc..)

Approved: (IF YOU ARE SEEING AN APPROVAL ON A MONTH THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO START YET, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY AN EXPEDITE. I did check... it is... if you want to dream please do so but I just don't want to see anyone get disappointed.)

 

I am putting from June 2017, because there are still members waiting. However Those Virgin numbers are lower that they seem.

 

	Approved	Virgin	Touched	Excluded	Total
June 17	1951	768	838	484	4041
