July 2022 - AOS Filers

[grant2 15]

the 09-168 EAD group started moving really fast the past few days, according to other trackers.   

 

I just got "card being produced" on my case.   I'm in Los Angeles - California.   

NOA date = July 7, 2022

EAD approved = January 3, 2023

What trackers? I'd love to see movement on the 09-163 group soon. Also, congrats!

Thank you, I knew about hilites but I'd never seen the first one! It is shocking to me 09-17 has so many more approvals-per-total than my 09-16. 09-177 has more approvals than pending, whereas the ratio is not even a quarter for my 09-163. Really puts the lie to the FIFO idea that they work in sequence!

the CaseStatusExt site is just a few months old.  I think its IOE data never included cases which were "approved" before the site was created, which is why the older #s have much lower totals.   But now those cases are "remembered" and slowly change status on the site.

 

In time the site should have extremely accurate IOE data.  For now I found it mostly useful to just watch the daily changes in my cohort (and other cohorts).

What it showed is that for several months, the processing was done very randomly across every cohort, + a lot of approvals happening in the 09-175 and higher cohorts.    This is the opposite of what most people expect.  This total randomness is of course frustrating for all the people in old cohorts who have been waiting a very long time, and see that most of the people getting approved applied many months after them.

There is speculation that the processing order is somehow being chosen for the purpose of improving USCIS's statistics.  e.g., if the newest applications are most of the approvals, then the "80% are processed within..." statistic suddenly gets a low number.

That would not surprise me and is also really depressing.

09-170 member here. CaseTracker notified me there was an RFE created and found one dated the 12th. Submitted evidence using the online account. Hoping to hear back good news in the future *fingers crossed!!

IOE-09142 to IOE-09172 seems to get little love from USCIS.

I suspect most of the July-August 2022, I-765 filers are in this boat?

There's May in there too, I'm IOE-09-163 and we're May, and yes we've noticed that we're getting proportionally far less approved than later cases. I reached out to my congressman with that.

Keep us posted.

Honestly, I don't get expect much support from congressmen.

But there isn't many other options.
