Yes I did  Maybe it's because I changed jobs since I filed? I have noooo idea. 

Unless you know of the reason, which you don't, it is probably going to be something you can simply grab whatever evidence they are looking for and swiftly send it back.  And honestly, better a request for more information than a rejection.  That means they looked at your information also, so whatever this is will be the missing piece of the approval puzzle.  (well im being optimistic of course) 
For now, just be on alert and try not to (as hard as it might be) think about what it could be.  Concentrate on the fact that you are now truly in processing mode and not just one of those waiting in a stack.  And yeah you can focus on the fact that you will be back to waiting in the stack again after you submit the evidence they are requiring, but what will that do for the process, you know?  

Just try to stay positive as you are nearing the end of this leg of the journey, which is awesome in my eyes and i hope to be at the point you are at within the next few months.

hi y'all - mid-week update!

 

decent progress these 3 days - avg. of almost 60 cases a day are being looked at, and most of the attention has been concentrated on end of October cases. we've also hit 40% approved for the month!

Unfortunately not - based on what we're seeing with how they're treating these October cases, they're ignoring the case # range and only going based off of Received Date. Most of the movement in the 20,000+ case # ranges are from Oct filers. That being said, the good news is that you're early December, so it would almost be your turn as soon as they get to Nov 30 filers!

Hey all I got my RFE. I somehow left a question blank....I'm lost for words. Hopefully they process it quickly.

end of the week update! unfortunately, not too different from the mid-week update (possibly because yesterday was a federal holiday? i'm unclear if uscis was actually open and operating)

I sincerely appreciate what you are doing for the members here. Quick question, how do you find out how many people have applied on all these dates? Is there a link on uscis website where you pull this information from?

 

Sorry if you have already answered this before.

 

Thanks in advance.

My level of frustration with USCIS is at max ! There is always an excuse for their inefficiency (COVId-19, policy, and of course now a Holiday excuse ....)  I am a November 4th applicant that has spent more than 200 days away from the United States to be with my fiancé.... how is it possible that we (taxpayers) are subject to this and have to act like they are doing is a favor? Ugh . I see people already jumping ship with dealing their applications and getting married because of the delays .... the country is open, propel are vaccinated and Federal Employees must go back to work .....

So technically all of this info is available on USCIS, but you’d have to check each receipt individually. Most people use the Case Tracker app so they can search for 500 receipt numbers at once. It’s still quite a manual process though.

My fiancé has a programming background and wrote a script similar to how the app works in order to pull the data more easily for us to track cases. Otherwise, it’d take hours every week to gather these numbers. 
 

In order to have a good estimate of cases from each date, you need to collect the data prior to when movement starts on a specific month. For instance, my first data pull was in April when there had been virtually no movement on October cases. The status for the cases was still “Case was Received” on a specific October date. From there, I track the changes to each individual case number from week to week and apply formulas to the data in excel!

Wow this is good stuff, so this is as accurate as it can be as far as number of cases filed. I don't have apple so cannot use case tracker app. But again your weekly updates are very helpful. 

 

Thanks again

Agreed. Nightclubs and football games are at full capacity, yet these guys can’t work properly. No excuse whatsoever.
