Great information, Bill y Bella! Thanks for posting the statistics, I learned a lot.

Oh, you are more than welcome. I enjoyed doing it. And to receive praise from the master, well I am honored.

Here are some more Visa Journey VSC statistics that might help spot trends.

Remember that these statistics only reflect Visa Journey Members and the sample size may be too small to be statistically relevant. Any statisticians in the house who could provide some input?

This table lays out well in my Internet Explorer. Hopefully it will do the same in your browser. If not, please let me know.

Latest modifications: 8/2/07 22:24 EDST I updated data to reflect some more applications in June & July. No new approvals to enter.

Observations:

• K1 applications are processed much faster than K3's.
  
• It is difficult to identify any trend patterns for K3 applications.
  
• So far there is no evidence of a spike of July applications from Visa Journey members to beat the fee increase.
  
• Processing times have been increasing significantly since January, 2007. K3 applications submitted in February are the only exception to this.
  
• So far May 2007 K1 processing times are shorter than April 2007, but it may be too soon to make many conclusions. Since 11 of 36 April petitions and 30 of 36 May petitions have not been adjudicated yet, processing time for both will ultimately be greater than is shown now.
  
• In 2006 K1 processing time increased every month starting in January, peaked in Aril and then trended downward the rest of the year. There is no guarantee 2007 will follow the same pattern.
  
• Despite the perception that VSC processing has slowed, the 2007 K1 processing time is the same or less than it was in 2006 when compared to the same month. Unfortunately it does not appear that May will follow this pattern.
