I'm sorry if someone else already made a comment or asked about this, but I'm relatively new to this site. I saw the post from USCIS a long time ago at this Link:

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/reducing-processing-backlogs

 

I wonder if this will help any of us who filed this long ago, or it will only help others in the future?

Personally, I would take that to be a general politicking maneuver.  One thing to say and entirely different to do.  If anything, the processing times (nearly across the board) have gotten worse not better ...

There are few categories of course which have improved but generally, nothing that was stated in that reduction targets has really happened.

 

I suppose we can always hope.

Weekly update ....

Nothing really happening in my December 2021 filings (2 RFEs and 1 updated file) ...

Not unusual.

 

 

As for burndown this week, only 241 cases were seen being opened (including all withdrawls)

That is a little disheartening but not unexpected as between Christmas and New Years this past week.

 

Here are the details

Thanks for updating the forum with this data. It is super useful to see all of this. Hopefully they will start the new year strong!!

Weekly Update (Ran 1/6/2023)

Not really anything happening in my group (December 2021) still.

We had a couple of denials and termination notices but nothing really to report for December.

 

For the rest of you, 468 Case updates is a dramatic improvement over last week but still slow.

A couple of untouched cases seen as acted upon in November 2021, but sti;l quite a few cases 
untouched dating all the way back to Aug 2021.

Hopefully, we will see the pace picks up again now that we are into the new year.

Saw the first approval of a Nov 1 NOA1 case in a November filers facebook group. Thought some of you may be excited to see it.

Does anyone do daily November scans? 

[serret 55]

I am a December filer, but I can try to do it if there is no one scanning November daily. I'm not super tech-savvy so someone may need to explain how to run the script to me.

Looks like it is going to be a good week for K1 Processing at USCIS

Got curious how active the USCIS has been ... and from last friday to today they have opened a good number of cases including 26 in the first week of November (20 Approvals/5 RFEs/1 Other)

Total (previously untouched) cases opened : 475

Official scan will be done Friday as usual

Jan 13 Update:
Huge improvement this week in opening K1 cases this week.

Total (previously untouched) cases opened :    879 - Hope they keep this up

Hi all! I finally had time to run @Elson George's script for November. From now on I'll try to do daily updates, at worse I'll be doing them Mon-Wed-Fri.

Here's last week's (9-13 January) summary for Nov 2021 cases:
Approval: 54

Denial: 0

Withdrawal: 1

RFE Sent: 12
RFE Received: 0
Other: 8 (Updated info, transferred case, expedite approved, expedite denied)

 

Total for this month: 2602 Untouched, 164 Approvals, 18 RFESs, 3 RFERs, 197 Denials, 170 Expedites (Denied: 169 / Approved: 1)

@mw & rg k1 if you'll also be doing November scans maybe we can crosscheck each other's output at the end of each week?

Actually, I am doing my own custom script scan for December group.
But while there was nothing happening (and still not), I built a script to show where unopened cases are (and those results were meaningful to other groups like Aug, Sept, Oct, and Nov at different times)

I'm grateful for you both. February filer here. At least I will have an idea when January starts from you guys

For anyone who isn't on the K-1 November facebook group or whatsapp group, here is a link to a spreadsheet someone is keeping updated for November filers:

Additionally, some nice news to see about November filer processing this week
