VSC = Vermont Service Center.

 

I just received snail mail, no email. You can prep for the next stage, this is what I've done. Once you've got the GO from NVC, you'd be ahead of the curve.

Ya from what I see in these posts you need to just be a little more patient. They are working through the months and May will have its turn. Patience is key

Observations over the past few weeks (take with a grain of salt)

• Late Feb USCIS updated the text on their egov website and it no longer states E-filing location. (Causing a lot of 'case tracker' notices to go off)
  • The new text from IOE to E-file to basically nothing indicates to me a streamlined processing path (just a theory based on the verbiage)
• A big number of "LIN" "paper" cases from Nebraska were off-loaded into the other service centers. (I've seen pretty much every month from Jan-June)
• The most recent one I've seen is April-May LIN cases
• A number of Nebraska "IOE" (wether they were submitted online or through paper) cases are starting to get processed. 

Personal thoughts:

• The other service centers will slow down on original files while picking up transferred Nebraska cases
• A lot of transferred Nebraska cases seem to take priority (probably because Nebraska were so behind)
• The USCIS service centers are basically re balancing the backlog of each center
• IOE cases will start to be processed in parallel with the LIN cases. (Theory: As more paper cases get finished and IOE cases start ramping up, I expect each service center to take IOE cases from a "pool")
• E-processing and going digital is a BIG USCIS push in 2019 and 2020. 
• Other visa programs and improvements such as E-Verify improve turnaround time for other visas/categories allowing USCIS to push resources/budget into other areas.
• The fiscal year for the US GOVT is October to September. 
  • USCIS got a slight budget increase which could correlate to a few more folks being hired here and there
  • USCIS operates mostly on the fees that it receives from applications

Text directly from USCIS:

 

eProcessing

USCIS’ goal is to make the filing and adjudication of applications a paperless process by the end of calendar year 2020. The agency has taken in, stored, and transported paper forms and documentation in the tons for far too long. USCIS is committed to using the technology necessary to support online filing and electronic records management. An electronic government is the key to increasing efficiency, reliability, and accuracy. USCIS is taking active steps to increase operations online.

USCIS is modernizing our IT strategy and business processes to enable all applicants to file for benefits online so that we can adjudicate cases electronically. This effort is called “eProcessing.” The plan is to create an online filing platform for each benefit request product line, gradually stopping the creation of new paper immigration records. Once digital, cases can be adjudicated with more current and comprehensive information. USCIS will be better able to allocate resource, see trends, and collaborate with other agencies.

Today individuals can file several forms online, including the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, the Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document, and the Application for Naturalization. Online filing opportunities are scheduled to expand quickly because existing technical functionalities can be reused to facilitate an increased rate of deployment for subsequent benefit request types.

 

USCIS Electronic Immigration System (ELIS)
$130.6M, 49 FTE In FY 2020, USCIS will continue the transition from largely paper-based business processes to a digital operating environment that facilitates end-to-end electronic processing of immigration benefits and petitions in ELIS. USCIS plans to continue enhancing ELIS to enable digital processing for additional forms. Furthermore, USCIS will continue with the Third Party Application Integration initiative which allows cases filed by third parties to be ingested into ELIS.

 

What to expect:

• USCIS going digital
• Once we get into full IOE land, times will speed up

Cheers

Mike

Hi Jsad,

 

I have asked this question before, thinking about being rejected at the boarder makes me nervous. So far no one had issues entering the US when they are in the NVC stage. Just make sure you bring the copies of your noa1 + noa2 + return ticket, when you have them, so when they do have additional questions you can show that your doing everything the right way. So far no one had to show those either. If so those people never responded in the forum.

Thank you Rosie91,

 

it seems like there is no officially line on it but at least there hasn’t been any issues. Will be sure to have the documentation at hand when it comes to the time 

 

thanks again

Thanks Mike, I'd have to agree with all your theories as well.  They're just trying to clear the paper forms asap and then work off the digital pile. Great to see! Hope NVC can keep up with the possible increase in throughput/volume.

UPDATE:

April & May have entered the picture with force: almost 200 cases were processed in April, and almost 2000 cases transferred from May alone.

Processing of March cases, and anything before that really, has decreased dramatically.

Will post percentages later.

UPDATE:

Following up on a good amount of processing already done the past couple of days.

April and May remain ignored compared to the rest - only a few cases were processed at all.

June has almost officially entered the picture with a lot of cases processed - I will state its % for now for future references.

19.80% in Jan.
44.00% in Feb.
66.80% in Mar.
74.70% in Jun.

Also, I-129F denials have been spotted .. several of them.

UPDATE:

Following up from last week's update ... current statistics are:

17.40% in Jan.
37.20% in Feb.
51.40% in Mar.
92.60% in Apr.
95.50% in May.
75.90% in Jun.

* May has the highest of cases received, even more than June, and hence the highest yield.

* March has the highest processing, followed by Feb and Jan. Although it has been noticed that the processing in Jan and Feb are in decline, however, March is steadily processing.

* I-129F denials seem to be associated with I-130 approvals thus far.

* The overall rate at which cases are being processed per day has noticeably increased, although not by a lot, but should also help get rid of high yields in months like March, May, and June.

* I except processing for Jan and Feb to quickly finish within the next 1-3 months max.

* I also except the recent transfers to be quickly processed.

Just curious if these statistics are Nebraska or all the centers combined?

Also, thank you 😁
