Agreed..what is "unfair"? We don't know the precise reasons one case takes longer than another, and even if it is essentially random, there's no reason to believe some have a better shot of being picked up by an IO sooner than another.

The current wait is stressful, awful, etc., but there's nothing to suggest an unfairness.

Timelines:

ROC:

We have some people waiting from June 2017 still. And that is only from Visajourney active posters in the progress report thread, I bet there would be people waiting longer than that outside of visa journey. 

 

The process does take too long IMO, and it seems there is a significant amount of downtime where the case is awaiting an adjudicator. Personally I feel it is a reflection on poor management in the organization.

 

That being said, your case pales in comparison to others that I mentioned waiting over a year.

One day after normal time is nothing, really. Most cases will run weeks over, if not months.

My case as at the one hour point - March 2021 to 2/11/22.  I am so tired of the lack of progress
