Waiting for a NOA2 from CSC for your I-129F?

Hrmmm I still maintain that inactive profiles should be deleted... it would make the data much more accurate...

I'd just be satisfied with inactive profiles for 60+ or 90+ days do not get counted in the timeline, or at least have an option to exclude them when generating a timeline search.

Yeah but something needs to be done so the information and data is more reliable... I mean I don't think it is all that bad as it is really but still - I am thinking about your projected date - if that is based on someone from 2005 who still hasn't put in their NOA2 date it can't be doing anyone any favours!!!

Okay...anyone ever do this?

This morning I came in to work, opened my email, and there's an email from CRIS. HOLY #######!! My heart practically leapt out of my chest. And then I read the Subject line: "USCIS Change Password Notification." Duuuuuhhhh...oh yeah. I changed it last night because...um...I forgot my password.

I blame StP.

[Jeraly 4]

Yes - I think *everyone* has had that!!! It's pretty funny

Do not pass Word, do not collect NOA2000 dollars.

Yeah. You're a fair cop.

Just remember, that my timeline for instance looks inactive because I have no NOA1 but i'm still here waiting and there may be one or two others in the same boat. I'm around day 140 with no NOA1 and on day 14 since my second petition was sent. I do realise something though now, if USCIS loses your petition and you request that they honor your original date there is a very good legal reason why they need to.

For instance, lets say your on a visa (even k1) and adjust status. While waiting for a receipt for your AOS your visa expires, then you discover 120 days later that your case file was lost and never receipted. Well if they didnt recognise your original file date then you'd be out of status when you reapply and lmay be denied. Which means that the USCIS mistake could cost you everything.

I think the few people in my place that did not get their dates honored were do to the fact that their lawyers apparently sent the package out identical to the first making USCIS assume that it was their first time applying. And once they receipt it, apparently its hard to argue dates.

Yeah but you wouldn't be considered "inactive" because you actively login to VJ. If I were designing an inactivity system, I'd consider anyone that hasn't logged in within the last 90 days to be inactive. I wouldn't remove their profile or timeline, but I wouldn't use their timeline to compute stats. I'd also make it an option to exclude "inactive" members when generating timeline lookups/searches.

As for members who *do* login but don't update their timeline, I don't have a solution for that. There are some people who just aren't going to play ball, and I guess that's their choice. Fortunately I think it's a pretty small group of people that choose that route, so it's not too bad. But I suspect that timeline abandoners skew the timelines noticeably.

[mox 298]

Sorry Mox, but that pushed you down the list by 3.

Er...so now I *know* you're messing with me, because now I've been pushed down 2 more slots. There better be a good explanation for this!

(actually I'm guessing someone's finally updated their timeline, but I haven't really looked.)

What I was going to say!! People who haven't logged onto VJ in 90 days should have their timelines removed from the data that provides us with the projected timelines

Now who can explain all this in a coherent manner so someone can make the suggestion to Ewok/post on the suggestions forum

Approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His interview was yesterday (the 28th there)...after about a 3 min interview, she wished us a happy life together and told him good luck! So if anyone heard shouting coming from Vancouver, WA yesterday afternoon...it was me!!!! I'm so happy I can hardly stand it!

Thanks to all of my friends here on VJ for your endless support and advice. I appreciate all of you more than words could ever say.

Of course I am messing with you!

But seriously, I've made a couple more tweeks to the filtering logic and now include petitions with a sent date, but no noa1 date, that were last updated at least a month after the sent date. Does that make sense? Or should I exclude all without the noa1 date with no updates in the last xyz days?

Ideally it'd be nice to filter them by the last seen date, but that is not available as part of the timeline search function. And then there are also some timelines without associated profiles, so there is no last seen date to begin with.

Any ideas?
