Houston received in the last quarter of 2020 less applications than third quarter ( 12000 to about 8000) Also they processed more applications ( 2700 to about 4000)

 

Backlog is a little higher but I see rate of processing is improving and if they keep processing 4000 cases per quarter that would be awesome.

It is a good news. It makes my day but still ###### backlog grew up to 44K pending.

They processed more 70%+ applications than third quarter , from 2700 to 4100
 

They are more efficient and they received less applications. Tons of the backlog happens when people filled before the fees increase.

 

part of the backlog is also caused by pending ROC.

I feel like next data will be grown to 50K pending. Every 3 moths they process only 5K max while they receive up to 10K. Every quarter the backlog will be grown up.

How do you see all these different charts? The link that I have takes me to specific month's data.

 

Is there like a website of which I can go to then choose data for whichever month I want?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

I did combine them together so it makes easier for everyone. No where you can find these combinations that I made.

Same for me.  You do realize those timelines are just estimates. You just have to be patient
