Strange. When I just tap the link it pops right up in WhatsApp. Here’s a screenshot

For what? It's time to wait. Nothing else we can do.

Some people like to have a community to chat with and share approvals or questions with peers.

It’s another social media where people can b__ch and complain. No mods to suppress their statements. My 2cents.

I know we're all tired and stressed and frustrated, but let's not be too negative. I'm not a WhatsApp fan and I joined the group just to see what fellow filers are saying since there aren't many of us here on VJ. So far nothing made me even want to get out of it, it was actually nice seeing other people from my country there since there aren't any here on this thread.

Remember we are all on the same boat so far, and to some people it's good to know they aren't alone, it helps them share their thoughts and feelings. If that's not your case, fine. I don't join Facebook groups because I like privacy, and I don't get that on Facebook. To some people VJ is too technical (and honestly the mobile version isn't the best). I like data, immigration dos and don'ts, trying to see real progress on things, and I like to do things on my own most of the time. Other people just want to maybe vent and connect with others, especially when the processing times are so high.

Do you know how many cases are untouched for Jan 2022? I can’t find a list for them.. 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sN2bo1xZhs8oVU6-QDUdBXBX2_ci8_QJ0wiz59Gp6H4/edit#gid=0

this spreadsheet has a total summary of all cases and each month's total and backlog....hope it helps

Bh_sarah, I love the case status table you have a link for.  I know it's super early, but I'm wanting to do that *eventually* for me and my December 2022 filers...

 

Also- noticed you are (or your fiance is) in the STL area!  Us too!

I copied the table layout from February and March 2021 filers (and added a few things I thought were missing), so feel free to copy to your own spreadsheet as well!
I started mine in May 2022, so only 3 months after I filed. I would say the earlier the better, there are less movement and you can track expedites and learn with it. I do use CaseTracker though, so it takes time, but then I don't need any script running.

And awesome you're from Missouri! I am the beneficiary from Brazil, never thought I'd be living in St. Louis but here I am! Love happens! hahaha

Hi, February 2022 filers!

We're in March, so that means we all are already a year into this.

 

Unfortunately there hasn't been a lot of movement in February, but fortunately they started working on January so maybe we'll start seeing approvals in a month or two (being hopeful here!).

 

So far these are the numbers up until the last day of February:

112 Approvals and Closed Cases

273 Denied and Rejected Cases

10 RFEs/RFERs

2974 Untouched Cases

94 Withdrawals

 

You can find the whole data here. But please note that I don't run a script, so this is an approximate data from CaseTracker. Since the cases are scanned by groups of 500, there are a few January and March cases in the first and last groups, as well as there might be scattered January cases in other months groups I do not consider. I try to update this weekly and I do track expedites from as back as May.

If anyone finds a script and wants to run it, please don't feel intimidated in any way and post them here as well!

do you have the data for january as well?

I only tracked twice and in no detail because there wasn't anyone doing it. Now @Ngillet is working on it and posting numbers on the January thread:

 

[Nikobe 129]

I'll bump this up.

Is anybody scanning for February? I think it should be time for some movement.
