@Bh_sarah Long time lurker and a massive appreciator of the constant updates you provide!

 

I understand how you feel and grow more and more frustrated with each day that passes just to hear nothing. We recieved our NOA1 February 11th, so seeing that none from 49500 were even touched yesterday was a punch in the gut. We should've heard something between the 5th of April to the 13th of April 😔. All I keep telling myself is that once it's done you'll forget about the wait and it'll be a thing of the past. We'll soon be married and starting our married lives for real. You can do this! And thanks once again for all the work you do on here.

Hi, @JLees2k. I'm glad you decided to join! I know there are more cases waiting for a decision, it's just harder when you don't even know if that case really represents someone still waiting for a decision or if it's someone that doesn't care or that had their case withdrawn or closed and the system never got updated. As you can see I filed 11 days after you so I can imagine how hard is being to you as well, especially being inside the range 49500 that received so many approvals already.

I also try to convince myself this will all sudden be a bittersweet memory, but while the future doesn't arrive, I am feeling hopeless. Will keep an eye for 49500 range and root for your approval sooner than later. It sucks we have to wait more than other cases, but I also know it will all be worth it! Stay strong.

Today's numbers [April 25th, 2023]
If these numbers weren't depressing enough, noticed again some approvals from yesterday changed dates to today. Hoping I was just early or they are having issues with the server, and we'll see better numbers tomorrow. Hoping they haven't completely moved on now.

3 approvals in my range?! I might scan again! haha maybe I scanned too early today, because even with the ones that changed dates I don't see it reaching this totals. Thank you!

[Bh_sarah 942]

UPDATE: I did scan too early, they just pushed more data to the system and I'm seeing the day wasn't as bad as I thought. Yahoo! I'll update the spreadsheet correctly with today's numbers tomorrow! But now just follow @Vivek Patel's data above. Hoping one of us was approved today!

I think its better to scan when they (USCIS) are closed so you wont miss any data!😄

I only fully scan it after closing time, after 4 pm ET.

It was probably a system lag from either USCIS or CaseTracker.

Today's numbers [April 26th, 2023]
I waited a bit today to scan so hopefully they won't update the system after I scanned it all!
Also, I found a MAJOR flaw in my spreadsheet and I gotta apologize. I always wondered why the untouched cases number on the Obllak spreadsheet were so different from mine. I know she tracks precise cases, but the difference was huge for it to be cases outside my scanned ranges. Turns out that since I got this spreadsheet from other months and they did not count withdrawals, I was adding withdrawals without realizing they were also included in the "other action/untouched" column. 
So now I added the column PENDING to reflect the REAL number of pending cases. Sorry about that! The numbers are now fixed on the graph and running totals as well.
 

46500 - 2 approvals
47500 - 1 approval, 4 RFE
48500 - 3 approvals, 3 RFEs, 1 withdrawal
49000 - 1 approval, 1 RFE

50500 - 2 approvals
51000 - 1 approval, 1 denial
51500 - 1 approval, 1 RFE

54500 - 3 RFEs, 1 other
55000 - 6 RFEs
55500 - 4 approvals
56000 - 1 approval

Today's totals: 25 new approvals, 1 denial, 25 RFEs, 1 withdrawal

Totals so far:

about few more weeks, I probably wont see this creative way to have a visual script  for us. 

if you compare by weekly, its pretty much progress to a weekly basis. I keep an eye on the blue bar getting smaller.

based on this color coded bar script, all in all, uscis are working on an orderly fashion, by filing date. 

 

thanks for your hard work!!!!

If I was to receive and rfe, will the status on case tracker change ? From received to rfe? Or do people usually just get it in mail, and once the receive additional information then they just update to noa2? Thanks

Your case will go from received to request for evidence to request for evidence response to (hopefully) approved. From what I have heard, most RFEs take max. a month until approval (if you respond in a fast manner).

 

USCIS has touched 83% of cases for February and 95% of cases for January, so don't be worried if you haven't heard anything. They will touch those additional 12% also for February within the month of May.

Yes. It will show as "Request for Additional (or Initial) Evidence Was Mailed". Just like the USCIS page would say. Then you get the actual request with that they want in the mail in about 5 days/week. Then after you sent it, it will be updated to "Response to USCIS' Request for Evidence was Received". After that, for a NOA2, it varies. Some people get NOA2 in weeks, others in 1-2 months.

I am not so certain about that knowing people from December and January are still waiting. There is no certainty our cases will be touched on May/that they will completely finish February in May. Just looking at past months' examples.

about few more weeks, I probably wont see this creative way to have a visual script  for us. 

if you compare by weekly, its pretty much progress to a weekly basis. I keep an eye on the blue bar getting smaller.

based on this color coded bar script, all in all, uscis are working on an orderly fashion, by filing date. 

 

thanks for your hard work!!!!

And no problem! Wish every month kept a spreadsheet, used to be like that with most early 2021 months. And I am not sure I would say they go by order, especially inside the months. As you can see, there are less cases in the first week of February, and the first two weeks were heavily touched when they first started. The last two weeks are only being touched now, when they already moved on to March and even started April. I'd say they approve cases in every range when they start a month, but approve slightly more on the early ranges than the later ones. It all depends on quantity of cases too, there are more cases in the last 2 weeks than in the first. But there are people still waiting from the first weeks, etc. It's a gamble.

I am not so certain about that knowing people from December and January are still waiting. There is no certainty our cases will be touched on May/that they will completely finish February in May. Just looking at past months' examples.

Hi Sarah,

I am not sure whether you read my message. I did not write about certainty and specifically mentioned an example from past months.

I wrote that January filers are at 95% touched, which I used to instill hope to those who are still waiting. This is literally all and yes, those 5% are people, too. I know that. 😅

January has 152 (!) untouched cases after 15 months. Never forget that you should always take the USCIS estimate as a base case, which is 16.5 months of wait. Everybody who gets approval earlier than that is lucky, but those who are still waiting are in line with the normal processing time.
