The concept of date order is so ridiculous when there are trends showing which case groups are moving far more quickly.

Yeah, amazing how they were so brazen about it when it is clearly false. You either get lucky and approved same day as biometrics or have to wait months/years with very little in between.

I'm so upset for you! It's so frustrating that they act like they process everything in order but we know different 

I'm going try again in a couple of weeks, seems like yet more luck of the draw on who you get responding to your request.

anyone else having issues with the USCIS account today?! I went to go submit for my RFIE and its now asking me for an access code again and all my stuff is gone. SO frustrating

I'm getting conflicting info for this RFIE. 

 

basically we have all my husband's tax transcripts but the RFIE has mentioned w2s or 1099 as well. His employer is NZ based and he's a contractor which means THEY do not submit W2s at all.

Weird, I assumed tax transcripts trumped tax returns, maybe that's different for a foreign employer? 🤔 Maybe they lost the originals

Honestly probably. I think we'll just submit an additional letter explaining why he doesn't have w2s. Their not a USA based company why would they! He has all his tax transcripts and earned over the 125% + assets so fingers crossed.

For anyone with a EAD receipt prefix of IOE09182, I am tracking daily approvals here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13PxV095Ev8yIvsVKRq4Qv04yc1SaIKtw9u0Lk5jwMKY/edit#gid=0

 

I wanted to see where the movement was each day at a more granular level that you get with https://www.casestatusext.com/forms/I-765/IOE-LB.

 

Seems like most movement is in the IOE091821* and IOE091822* buckets (I am IOE091824*) at the moment, with some outliers in the others (expedites perhaps?). I plan to update it a couple of times per day.

 

I have no plans for doing this for any other prefix.

This is interesting to see. I'm a 091826 filer so I'll keep an eye on this. Nice one.

They seem to be massaging the numbers somewhat, throughout the week they have been shifting through the 6th digit of receipts. Started off with a heavy focus on the earlier numbers now it is in the latter half, interesting to see if this cycles again next week. Had some good movement in my section, 500 approvals this week. They've approved a bunch near my receipt but seemed to have skipped me and a few others ✊.

I wonder if it is to do with the state where we've filed? What are the chances of others majority California, Arizona even Florida receiving same day approvals yet Michigan has a delay? Possibly  low volume of applicants so they push us to the bottom of the pile 😂

You'd hope that wasn't the case but who knows with these people, at least Michigan has one of the lowest average wait times for the GC, not that it helps me work though 😩

They hit 700+ approvals again today in the 182 group which is good, they seem to be focusing mostly on the latter two numbers so hopefully they loop back around shortly.

[Nylar 58]

Still some time left in the day but the number of approvals are on a downwards trend, half the number today that we had Monday. I hope this isn't them moving on to other groups, otherwise need to get those expedite requests fired off again...

Biometrics yesterday and within 10 mins it was updated to case actively being reviewed and then I got emails and text this morning that they had taken action but that was just for yesterdays update. Hoping for a quick review but if not I will start expedite monday

Same thing as me, although you might still get lucky over the next couple of days.

 

 

I filed an expedite request this morning (getting harder to distinguish between an live agent and a bot), as expected the daily numbers are drying up and I am sick of watching the receipt number lottery.

Can only hope! I have been seeing people get their greencards as opposed to the EAD instead but who knows how the USCIS is processing these.
