I am tired of repeating this...

I am sorry, what you wrote is simply not true. USCIS is funded solely by fees of applicants so your paid to US government to process your case, we are not getting a handout but expecting service from our government that we paid for.

Also, comparison with Europe is not appropriate, because USA is of similar size and has 50 states that make the Union, you can move between the states. In Europe every country has its own immigration, and when you are not from EU member state you go trough the immigration process that is 3 times faster. Friend of mine started process of getting his fiancé from China to Germany one month after me, and they managed to finish it in 4 Months, we are waiting 12.

 

Also it is easy to be motivated when you are sitting in EU member state that can get easy trave to USA without visa. There are couples that are from countries like Philippines, China, Bosnia or other countries that need tourist visa to do basic visits and in these countries wait for tourist visa can be Months long. In my case, I am stuck in China due to lockdowns and Covid measures and even though I have tourist visa, I cannot leave. I have not seen my fiance for over 2.5 years now, and we are 5 years in relationship and used to live together for 2,5 years, we had wedding planned for February 2020, tell me how not to get frustrated.

We need to understand each other situation, and not just make blank statements how we need to be patient.  For example Philippines even after they get NOA2, they have to wait months for Visa Interview, what puts their total wait to over two years.

27 approvals so far today (may 27th 2022) - 3 of them are cases with a receipt day in early may. It's around mid day, but looks like maybe they are begin to process may cases.

No, only 3 of them were in may. We'll see how many it ends up being after the end of the day, but it's good that they're starting on May cases

Hi everyone, this is the overview for May. 

This was by far best month we had since mid 2021. USCIS has processed record number of cases over all ranges (over 2500 - see first screenshot).

For some reason there is huge uptick in RFEs.

Good news about uptick in processing is sadly diminished by insistence of to process June cases, but this processing has diminished in last week and more attention is given to April. You can see new Touched NOA1 cases in second screenshot.

Last screenshot shows remaining NOA 1 Cases that have been not touched yet.

 

Please don't get your hopes up, we had similar week in February, when we saw huge uptick of processing, for 3 Days, then to fell of cliff.

I just ran the numbers. It seems that they are starting to process May cases in larger numbers.

They have touched 25 NOA1 cases from May. Will be interesting to see how this develops 

[Xiaova 1,480]

Mid day numbers for May (Note some May update were also included in the April filers since the 81xxx group are May):

 

82000: 3 Approvals, 3 RFESs (6 new / 0 in progress)
82500: 2 Approvals, 1 RFES (3 new / 0 in progress)
83000: 1 Approval (1 new / 0 in progress)
83500: 1 Approval, 1 Expedite (0 new / 2 in progress)
92500: 1 Withdrawal (0 new / 1 in progress)
05/31/22: 13 Total Updates: 7 Approvals, 4 RFESs, 1 Expedite Denied, and 1 Withdrawal,

[Xiaova 1,480]

End of day updates for May:

 

82000: 3 Approvals, 9 RFESs (12 new / 0 in progress)
82500: 2 Approvals, 1 RFES (3 new / 0 in progress)
83000: 1 Approval (1 new / 0 in progress)
83500: 1 Approval, 1 Expedite (0 new / 2 in progress)
92500: 1 Withdrawal (0 new / 1 in progress)
05/31/22: 19 Total Updates: 7 Approvals, 10 RFESs, 1 Expedite Denied, and 1 Withdrawal

 

if we include 18 updates in the 81500 group then it is 19 + 18 = 37 updates for May today.

I haven’t kept up with the May numbers, but here is the progress chart from March and April for each month we’ve been waiting. Pretty clear bell curve in March and looks to be about the same in April so far. Month 11 was the best March processing time and Month 13 for April. I hope better for May! 
 

Remaining:

March: 125 untouched, 161 RFE Responded, 288 RFE Sent

April: 765 untouched, 126 RFE Responded, 574 RFE Sent

Here are the mid day updates for May:

 

82000: 3 Approvals, 1 RFES (4 new / 0 in progress)
82500: 1 Approval (1 new / 0 in progress)
06/01/22: 5 Total Updates: 4 Approvals, and 1 RFES
