FYI: Considering there are barely any progress (usually less than 10~) on weekends, I will skip Saturday scans in the future.

Wednesday's Untouched cases that were opened report.
Unlike some of the other statistics out there, this graph looks ONLY at untouched cases that were opened in some way.

The data is compared with Friday 17 Feb 2023.

 

Analysis: there is a ton of activity all over the place and a continued inconsistency in a focused area.
For those back in Sept/Oct/Nov, there was at least some good news that some cases were opened.

RFE as a ratio has seemed to return to more respectable levels and outright denials has remained low.

 

Trying a new format (using .'s) as FB and other posting locations sometimes make a mess of the data
As for me, it looks like the local peak has passed by Dec 15th case so I am hopeful that it gets opened soon.

 

Now the technical details

Max (previously untouched) cases opened :    118
        Occurring week of:     2021-12-24

Total (previously untouched) cases opened :    495

Has anyone that was approved in January reached out to NVC yet? NOA2 says to wait 30 days before sending an email. Just wondering since I saw some that have NOAs in December already received by consulate. Just curious.

NVC letter usually takes 2-3mos.

 

But you are allowed to email them if you haven’t received anything from NVC in 30 days.

 

You may contact NVC by email at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.
