The case received is not the sum of cases, those are cases whose status are still as "received" so untouched cases. And most of those 16% are rejections and withdrawals though, so things that were rejected from the start or cases they didn't even need to look at. But yes, February is short in terms of days and honestly way shorter than the 4000+ cases of following months. Great numbers indeed!!! There's still so many left behind though, so hoping here we don't get stuck in the last 20% of our months. 

Ahhh! I see that makes so much more sense why the other months also have like 13% done etc !! Thank u so much ❤️ 

 

Also yeees IM REALLY HOPING SO TOO! As of now they are doing super good, hope it stays this way! First day today where my VJ timeline is fully in 2023 ❤️ Also soo hyped for everyones FEB approvs here! Finally its everyone in FEB time :3 hehe ! (nvm I just checked my timeline it keeps swapping 1-2 days LOL)

If I'm reading this right, Lawfully is showing decent movement for Sept 2021 filers yesterday... finally not left alone?

Oh, interesting. 14 cases. I saw Lawfully actually gives the receipt numbers and got curious, seems most of those got RFEs that were received by USCIS recently (can’t see when the RFE was sent though). One termination, some denials and 2 straight approvals (that definitely waited the whole 15.5 months). Could it be that they leave the longest, most difficult cases behind? Or it’s just super random and they’re just unlucky?

Just unlucky. Doesn't seem to be any particular increase in rfes or denials in later cases

That’s frustrating. I checked the August, July and October cases that were approved yesterday and they also have the RFER status updated pretty recently and then the approval or denial. How long do you have to send back an evidence once you get an RFE? 30 days? Could it be super old RFEs that were just now responded? Or maybe USCIS only marked the receiving of those now? I can’t really see when the RFE was sent with lawfully. I hate not figuring out the USCIS mysteries haha

They usually switch to RFER pretty quick from what I've seen them approval seems to mostly be 2weeks after but can be like a month too

I'm an RFER with a NOA1 in December. I'm at day 28 since the RFER, but I still haven't heard back for my approval.

@mw & rg k1 have started taking data on how long after rfer approval comes. It's definitely an overlooked subject because most don't have to deal with it.

Hopefully you'll see an approval very soon!

You’re the one whose RFE was a mistake from them right? Asking for I-130? Man, that’s unfair

Yes. And I even received a written response from USCIS stating they made an error and will correct it once they finally get to my application. But now 28 days later in the RFER stage; nothing.

Did they just update the processing times to 16.5 months contradicting all the data and progress we're witnessing?!?! https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Makes me think this is just to push all the inquiry dates back. My inquiry date was July, now it's August.

[GinoNiña 182]

This is bad news!!!

Im sure members can speculate about this. Let’s hear it.

Who knows how they pull their numbers the might roll based on what has been previously done, and not what they are currently processing at. IDK. I don't care if they put 24 months now becaue we are seeing the cases go through.

My inquiry date also got pushed back by 1 month. I think it's not that they're taking longer, but also what u assume. They might be trying to speed up, but maybe annoyed because now its getting close to the range nov fillers could make an inquiry? I wonder if that's their way to hold people back from doing a lot of questions now, because they're obviously improving the 16 months makes no sense. Unless they literally plan to slow down or do it for future fillers....I got no idea but that's the best idea I have sadly...it seems like ur idea Sarah seems the most right.

That would be my guess but also really strange considering it seemed at worse 80% was 15-15.5 months??? Really depressing to see though
