My case says received Mar 22nd

Alright, in that case then your NOA1 date is March 22nd, not April 10th (as your timeline indicates). Are you between 655xxx-66xxx?

Yeah. I don't take note of which numbers are approved on which days, so I just check the dates and such and count those. I'm really hopeful that the numbers will stay high or keep increasing! I don't want people to have to wait as long as I did (or longer in the case of a lot more people who are still waiting). The wait is unbearable.

Yup! And we all really appreciate your continued updating  It's a bit sad, though, because now all filers getting approved have waited over 330+ days... Granted, these speeds would wipe us out in about 3 more business weeks (so nobody should be waiting longer than a year), but we'll see. It's really insane, though, to imagine that it took/is taking this long. I do wonder if more adjudicators will be put onto these cases, because even with these incredible new numbers, it'll still take more than one month to clear one month of filers (meaning that it'll never be a 6-8 month wait unless 200+ get done a day).

I started every week by saying, "I can't wait to get our approval next week!"

Looking at your timeline, is your NOA1 in March or in April? Your dates seem a bit conflicting (unless they are correct and you are referring to how long you've been waiting since you sent your case in).

I think that the issue is that the assistance tool on the VJ timeline to help find the date shows the notice date as the “NOA1” date, when we all know that the actual NOA1 date is the received date. I think there are several erroneous timelines providing the incorrect dates.

Ya it's also asking for the date you sent your packet in which isn't the received date. I fixed it

Yeah, it’s an oversight on VJ’s part. On NOA2 the date is indeed the notice date, but for NOA1 it is the received date. Thank you for fixing it; I am sure that it will be very helpful for others with your embassy!

Just approved as well when I decided to keep sane by not compulsively checking. NOA2 of 14th February, talk about a valentine's day present

Good morning to all, As I start day 345 with little hope in the USCIS process.

336 & counting!  Let's speak it into existence that this is the week for one of us if not both of us!

Just random point, but I ran the 645x group again and noticed that the main March chart didn't catch 4 RFEs from yesterday. I don't know if they were updated late at night (as in, after the Google Doc was updated), but I though it was accurate when I cross-checked it around 9pm my time. In terms of today's processing, quite slow it appears, most of the updates coming through appear to be RFEs.

Yes, there are sometimes a few that slip in real late to the case tracker and so they just get included the next day when run again. Usually the late additions are RFEs or Response to RFE submissions or some sort of “other” update. I wait to update until after 5pm Cali time on weekdays, so the chart can always be plus or minus a few depending on case tracker at that time, but they get added on the next day.

Thanks for clarifying! I was just of interest because Monday we saw updates for sure around 5-6 Cali time, so I was wondering if there's people working overtime there now. Also, 100 yesterday was great progress, but any little more is of course better

 

Still don't see any more, though the ones I caught previously were in 625x and 655x iirc. 

[slavaskii 886]

Update: Approvals/RFEs coming in across the board right now, 4 in 645, 8 in 635, 6 in 630.

 

Edit: 13 in 625x, 4 in 620x, 1 in 615x, 1 in 610x, 1 in 605x.
