Does anyone know how accurate this sites data is?

Hard to tell without looking at code for app. But if all they do is pull case status and show on the graph, there's not much room for error.

Mine show's 28 Approved as of today. 

The pain is real, especially when you see cases near yours approved. What magic sauce do they have that we don't?

 

I tried easing the pain with an application for Global Entry, but from my reading and latest experience, those with the extension letter seem to have little luck with the interviewer wanting to approve us.🙄

So far I had no trouble traveling back to the US. Spent all of June this year in Europe - no one even looked at me...

 

I was kinda nervous as I renewed by German Passport while in Europe but everything turned out fine...

That first trip with a new technicality keeps feeling weird. You're wondering if the officer will understand the technicality. Having to go to check-in  desks are a pain since sometimes they don't understand the letter. For online check-in do you try bumping up the GC expirary date to the extension date?

 

Thankfully traveling with the letter has been fine with CBP. The last time I passed through CBP the officer was mostly unphased but did remak how he is seeing these more and more often. With a temporary extension from one year, to two, now four years it's sadly no surprise for us applicants!

Funny you mention this, I am going through CBP at major airports almost weekly and 9 times out of 10 they don't want to see the extension letter or the GC. They must have this stuff on their biometrics system now, I don't even show them a passport anymore.

Not sure if anyone saw this… Also, I‘ve noticed that they‘re mainly working on cases that were received between October and December. Why is that? I check the case status tool every day and noticed that they approved a ton of cases that were filed 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Just a couple examples from the case status tool

Because it helps improving processing times on paper.

 

USCIS is known for applying FILO approach from time to time.

I wonder if having an IOE case already means filed 'digital' *in the USCIS system

Has anyone been preparing for an early filing of the N-400?
