SEPTEMBER 2020 I-129F K-1 FILERS

[JobbinsKnobbins 240]

Sorry for posting it again so quickly, I went ahead and updated my spreadsheet to include the rest of September and spillover to October 1st.  The percentages look a bit lower because of adding nearly 700 cases to the base value.  I highlighted the cases green to represent the 7 month marker for the case, and the blue are case ranges that occur primarily on a weekend; I had observed that around 40% of cases were accepted by the time the 7 month marker hit, but its anomalous that the 68500-69500 range have a much lower acceptance rate; though it does have a lot of RFEs in the time frame. 

Average Case count per day is up to 78, mostly carried by Wednesday having over half of the volume processed at that time. Compared to the previous 2 working day stretch of around 50 cases processed per day (4/9-4/13) and the other prior time ranges estimate around 60 cases per day.  I presume that September processing is coming into full swing.

Hey, I see we just duplicated each other's work by accident I was late posting my numbers for folks today because I was posting a fuller view including through oct 1, I see we're cutting off at the same timepoint now. (I wanted to see myself up on my list now tbh...)

Good day everyone! How long you guys received your Case number from the time your NOA2 got approved? Did you call the NVC or just waited for the email? Did you receive post mail from NVC too? Thank you in advance for answering! Take care♥️♥️♥️

This dataset is based on an app I wrote to collect all the status information; takes the time for me to collect the data for the month from ~90 minutes to 20 minutes.  It doesn't pull them 100% accurate to the case tracker app; it in fact pulled some more in.  I also re-categorized some applications that were withdrawn or voided as rejected for the sake of improving completion percentage accuracy. With that it mind there was a lot of progress over the past few days, lots of RFEs from the start of the month are back in to being in progress.  

The numbers are a bit fuzzy because of the additional cases, but the numbers processed are comparable to the rate from the previous data collection.

There is a bit of a lead time on a cases being processed vs the 7 month cutoff, so fingers crossed to those who haven't got their cases processed yet (Myself included😭)

I dont understand  the colors .green  means high chance to be collected?

Sorry for the information overload. Most of this is just stuff that I put for myself to observe.  I'll go ahead and explain the greens.

The first column uses green to signify application numbers that have lapsed 7 months; those are cases should be expedited in some way.  Blue cases are those that occurred were filed on the weekend (this tracks with the low case counts on those rows). The undecided column is there to evaluate how many cases remain in progress; the last column is a comparison to the percentage that have been cleared from the previous set (I publish these on Tuesdays and Fridays).

Everything getting slow again 😭

Sent my RFE in today. So fingers crossed.

I love the differences between Jobbins' and mine - I focused more on figuring out the date range for each set of 500, and then I just used CaseTracker's categories of what numbers are for each kind, and let it auto-calculate the total cases and percent touched. Mine's un-colored because I don't know how to make Google Docs show fancy colors for 'how much of this has been adjusted'. Jobbins' is focusing more on 'how many studies are getting updated between checks?' in an attempt to see how fast they're moving which I think is just as important a question as my question of 'so what is the numbers this day'.

 

Also ugh Lena I was just coming in to post the change from 5-7 to 7.5 months at the outside... Reaching out to my Senator now as I'm within days of the outside of normal processing time and I suspect by the time their office checks into it we'll be there.

Last night I checked in on this and it said in California they were up to September 22, 2020. Now today it's back to September 13. Interesting.

It’s just a mess!! They were on a roll late March and now everything just seems to be slow. Also there are so many RFE’s they probably had to catch up and push back the date. Also there are many August filers who haven’t received NOA-2.

I cant believe that they are behind, but I do wonder if it has to do with the processing of all the RFEs. I know a lot of people have said it was taking a while for them to be processed. Hopefully everyone gets some resolution soon.

I think what we are seeing is the result of the removal of a number of the bans that were in place. There are a chunk of visa categories that were not processed as a result of those bans that are now back in the pool and being processed. In reality those may actually be pushed to the front because they were stalled for so long. Just my thoughts.
