Hi folks! I'm the one running I-129F spreadsheet.

Feel free to ask questions!
I will also add these questions + answers to FAQ in Read Me sheet, so it will clarify to more people and I will try to make the spreadsheet more clear.

You are so famous is the k1 community. Thank you for the time you put into it. I really liked when you had the actual case numbers for each month. Can you bring that back?

Yes I would love to see this too if it's not too much trouble! Helps to know how the spread of the approvals is going

Insane to finally see approvals below 14 months - so cool! Makes me hopeful to see my own approval in June as a May filer.

I found this document and it sheds some light as to why we are probably seeing a bump in productivity in processing. USCIS has ~1,400 more full time equivalent employees, and ~1,700 more overall employees in FY2023 compared to FY2022.

I noticed only 59 cases were processed yesterday 😩. Still remaining hopeful for the rest of the week!

I think there was probably a reason for that that we don't know about. 50 a day would be about 250 a week and that's half of what they were doing even in December before the boost.

Yeah that’s why I said I am hopeful for the rest of the week, still 🙂.  I have no clue what goes on there and can’t imagine what it’s like to be a worker there trying to clear the backlog, but I’m human so naturally I get slightly bummed when I see a lower number of cases processed in a day than I’ve seen in a while.

Maybe it’s time to start another thread. Number of case processed hit new low. 😂
