Good News Jannies,

October 2017 approvals are officially underway. They are averaging 21 days per month, this is great news, imagine if it takes the whole of april for October 2017, then May for November 2017 and June for December 2017. we could really see approvals for January 2018 starting by the end of June / beginning of July.

Good to know I am not the only one doing the math! I have done it over and over in my head that would be awesome I actually was thinking the beginning to the middle of June but hey anytime in June would be good at this point

It’s moving faster but seemed to slow down a few days for starting October. Here is what I have for the past few months.

 

May  started October October 1

June – 40 Days to Start (Started November 10)

July –   57 Days to Start ( Started Jan 10)

August – 26 Days to Start (Started February 5, 2018

September – 21 Days to Start (Started February 26, 2018)

October   -  29 Days to Start (Started March 27, 2018)

 

There will be many January noa1 filers who should see POE by September. Some may see August if they tkeep a 30 day pace or better.

thanks for this data however non the less the Days to start have dramatically dropped.... I am keeping the faith

I would gladly accept a POE in July, August or September. That would spell for the possibility of a Church wedding by end of October, which is still nice in terms of weather and it is out of the prime wedding period (May to September) which would mean getting reception venues for less cost and more availability.

That is the prayer. that November 2017 could be started before the end of April. that would put us about a month to a month and a half away!!

Bear in mind that the number of October filers are quite big. Conservatively, I expect them to finish October filers in one month. Then they'll start November on May and hopefully they'll work on December by late of May. Optimistic estimation, January can start seeing approval sometime by mid-late June which then POE is possible on August.

I read from the october filers trend that they are seeing approvals up to October 10 for todayyyy...that makes me super excited although your theory is probably right.

The # of applicants hasn't really mattered on how fast they move through the month since they don't complete the month before moving on. For example, August had more applicants than September yet they started September faster than October (if that makes sense). They will take a longer time to complete the month because of the amount of applicants but I think they're trying to keep the first "touching every date" part in under 30 days.

Amen! to that

yep I was thinking Jan would star mid to late June as well when we first filed in Jan they were on July and 2 months later they have done July, Aug, Sept and now working on May...... I am keeping hope alive

Yeah, that's very true!
