Plus we will probably get another 10 cases over the weekend. I am optimistic that we hit 1200/week in the near future. 

 

Also general question on the spread sheet tracker- for the estimate on remaining wait time, does it assume that the case that have already been rejected ahead of me are removed from the backlog? Or does it just look at the number of cases received ahead of my date? As I mentioned before, there is a good chunk rejected at the start when cases are submitted. Are these deducted from the backlog immediately? 

I am super optimistic, but I don't think we see 1,200/week, but I would love to be wrong lol. That would be 5,000/month

Just unprocessed cases are in the backlog

There are so many denials...

it's normal, they include rejections which are due to payment not included/going through, obviously not viable application from the start. Denials happen because fraud still happens and quite a few applicants do not meet the requirements, either financially or the meeting requirement. As long as you have a legit relationship and meet the requirements, you shouldn't have any concern

You do not need to cry for 99% of those because it happens for a reason. After all, this entire process is about the country's due diligence on immigrants and family-based categories are usually the most "dangerous" in terms of fraud.

Exactly, those are legitimate fraud cases that are denied not someone who has an actual relationship. Those aren't denials because they didn't attach a picture of them and the fiancé kissing or a plane ticket, this is someone trying to pull a fast one on USCIS and the US Gov.

 

Ridiculous but true story from my time in the DOS, a "serial marriage and fiancé visa applicant" in a high fraud country actually submitted a video of them and the beneficiary having sex as proof of evidence of the relationship when they received an RFE from a Consulate Officer. The sad part is because they know the law and the rules so well, that they were actually granted a visa and there isn't anything we could have done.

Just to add that it's probably rejections from cases just filed in March, they usually are rejected from the start (about 250-300 are rejected from the start every month). Most rejections I see are because of wrong form filed, wrong amount of money sent and forms not signed properly. I think the number is specifically high for weekends because it's just mail they are receiving and sending during these days, not actual case processing. That's why there are only rejections/denials/RFEs/withdrawals during weekends, even though they really worked this weekend on those, highest number I've ever seen (and still waiting for Sunday numbers!)

Shouldn't worry about denials of cases from months that are being actively processed right now, they are usually the minority and it's probably because of something major, like an RFE that couldn't be proved (example: they asked for a divorce paper and the couple couldn't produce it because one of them is still married, etc). I could be wrong but that's how I read it.

Anyway... I will definitely wait for precise numbers tomorrow from @Obllak and I *do not* want to jinx it... but I am pretty sure they just started February. I'm running the first ranges and there are so so so many approvals from today already...

Thank you! I'm from the end of February and they seem to be approving mostly February 7th for some reason.
But yes, exciting that is now so close! Fingers crossed.

[New Romantics 188]

So they started Feb about 3 weeks after January? That's amazing!

[New Romantics 188]

Almost 300 again! Great start to the week
