Nearing the end of a month, there tends to be a mixture of the previous and the next month. I think the march post only factored the approvals who got mixed in with march, and did not run all of April if that makes sense.

Porque uscis às vezes desacelera e às vezes acelera. Tudo depende de onde eles estão e quando eles chegam até você. 

IE Quando todos nos inscrevemos em abril, o tempo de espera era de 7 a 9 meses. Eles desaceleraram. Agora vai ser 11-12 antes que eles cheguem até nó unfortunately USCIS doesn't have a cake recipe to know they don't have a pattern they don't have a queue I'm from April 19th and I've seen many k1 process from April 20th,21st,25th,26th if approved before from me after yesterday I've already ruined my sanity now increase the time to 13 months then I keep thinking in 2 months they will increase to 18 months and so on. unfortunately after pandemic the whole process that took 8 months to complete now just waiting for NOA1 is 1 year. an absurdity

From this spreadsheet, many more cases were rejected than approved, is that true?

[BBBJ 59]

Not unusal. If someone submitted an incomplete petition they get a denial as their NOA1. The rest are put on wait for regular processing.

Yes, I only included the 70000 group to confirm they were moving away from March cases (even though there is still 750 cases untouched).

guess today is one of those days where USCIS doesn't feel like doing anything

USCIS employees are heavily unionized and are generally guaranteed a job for life, barring committing a serious crime such as assaulting someone or stealing thousands of dollars or more. USCIS employees would most likely still keep their job after stealing thousands of dollars so long as it didn't make the news. Workers get paid the same and keep their job whether they process 117 or 17 cases. So why not take it easy and not work a few days out of the week. Maybe it's time to privatize USCIS workers. The agency itself could still be under the control of the federal government.

Bigger issues is lack of leadership in this Administration, head of agency Ur Mendoza Jaddou is waisting money and time on visiting citizenship awarding ceremonies and posting it on Twitter (if you want to get anojed on daily basis just follow her account).

What anoyes me the most is the fact, that USCIS is not taxpayers funded, but only by fees they collect, they collect huge amount of money, in case of K1 $565, and according to USCIS they need 12 minutes to adjudicate a case, so for 12 minutes of work per case they take $565, where the f is money going?!?

 

Also, i find it crazy that "anti-immigration" republican administration had double processing rates than "pro-immigraration" democrat led administration, also waits since middle of last year have doubled went from 5-6 months to 12-13. 

And this cannot be blamed on pandemic or Trump, because declining processing started in August 2021.

I noticed a huge decline starting in October/ November and then the idiots got what seemed like 500 days off for the holidays. I have no clue what’s causing the issues now. 
 

my first thoughts were the Afghan crisis mixed the the omicron variant caused the initial decrease in approvals but it hasn’t improved at all since then. Now it’s probably something to do with Ukraine.

I wonder if the Processing Dates displayed on VJ are more accurate than the official USCIS one.

 

it is so disheartening to see K1 is further delayed to 10- 13 months.

Another big problem is family based immigration process "is out of sight out mind" with most Americans. Unless you're a fiance/spouse visa petitioner or beneficiary, you're probably oblivious to the USCIS's mismanagement and crazy backlog issues. Also, the previous global COVID pandemic and now the horrific unecessary war in Ukraine has helped USCIS keep their problems under the radar. So relatively speaking, there's not a lot of pressure being put on USCIS to do their job. But then again, we shouldn't have to put pressure on people for them to simply do their jobs.

 

Sorry for the venting. I haven't seen my fiancee in over two years due to COVID travel restrictions and political turmoil in her home country. Now we're still being kept apart by an unecessary and preventable USCIS backlog and nobody is being held accountable.
