Bump

Nothing from the 17th has been done!  Are specific dates assigned to certain case workers?  Not sure why I haven't heard anything yet and people with later dates have!

No need for alarm. We’re not sure of course why random dates in March are getting approvals, nor why the 640x category has never been touched, but we’re finally in a month where the majority approvals are March. Approvals at this stage aren’t determined at all by the embassy, it’s literally whichever packet gets picked first is adjudicated first. Or, so we think :) 

 

The past few days have seen approvals come in really late California time so I wouldn’t really expect to see anything just yet.

I know each case is assigned to a case worker at the service center, but I am not sure how they are assigned.

For years the wait time for I-129f visa applications was 90 days. Most of us who filed in 2021 have been waiting almost a year. The average salary at USCIS is $105,000. USCIS would be better managed and our cases processed more efficiently if salary's (including top management) were tied to job performance.

With the way things are going, I'm, unfortunately, more and more confident most of us won't see approvals until February. The inquiries are just falling on deaf ears. If we keep having days of 20 approvals, I'm not even sure of what to say... I guess we still have to wait for the numbers for today, but they weren't looking that good earlier.

I saw 65636 get approved on the 4th, was hoping for some of the same magic but nope

I got excited too but that dream was dashed fairly quickly. Absolutely abysmal day today. I searched 570x to 645x and there were a grand total of 16 approvals. Irony of that is that 4 were from the 570x group, which is still late February/March 1st. Apart from this 'trend' indicating March won't be done by summer, I don't even want to comment anymore.

I should note, however, that the 16 approvals is only the March filers; if you take things holistically, there's likely to be double, even triple that amount. We have someone in the March FB group running nearly all the groups, even from January, and Monday there were 54 approvals - yesterday, 43. The main problem is that they're "working", but not really "working", on March filers. If it were 50 March approvals per day it wouldn't be terrible, but unfortunately we're just never getting any attention.

So 53 approvals approximately a day but only 1-15 in March

So what you are trying to say is UsCIS is still working efficiently as doing over an average of 40 approvals daily right?
