Yes i saw that last weekend a couple of cases were approved on saturday! I wonder if the new USCIS director is allowing them to work on saturdays now? From what i understood they were only working mon-friday.

For those who are following their cases will notice a glaring issue. There is a pattern of USCIS working on the cases, they will speed gun through the cases initially with every block (date) and try to bring it as close to 50% processed (including RFEs, Rejected etc.) once they achieve that number or get close to that number they will slow down that date to a point where it is painful to watch. 

 

I did some analysis and there are obviously cases pending from September all the way down, and they do process them but maybe one or two cases a day. 

 

I have no idea why but it is a common theme. 

 

Secondly, I have also noticed that country of the beneficiary is also an important factor in cases being processed faster especially if the local embassies of beneficiaries are backlogged. (they will issue NOA2) but then you are bound to sit at NVC for extended period of times. 

I wish USCIS is more forthcoming and transparent about their process. Anyways just a regular Thursday Rant.

 

Hoping and wishing that all of us are together with our loved ones soon

Yes, the case status tells you  whether you're approved, denied, or have a RFE.
