I like how the thread is set up. I think everyone does compare each others timelines but we have been through enough of the process that we know everyone gets approved at different paces. The way this thread is set up it is fast and easy to see where everyone is at in the process.

You can't really look at the local office processing times because they are way off. For example according to the processing times for a K3 visa they are just now processing Jan 2007. We filed our 129F the first of Feb and my wife arrived in the US in June 2007. I think they must not change the processing times unless the majority of the cases are processed maybe?

Rebecca was referring to VISA JOURNEY'S local office processing times data, not USCIS'. Go to 'immigration timelines', then click on 'AOS Section' and filter the results by your local office.

As has been discussed many times on this site, USCIS' processing times are based on the oldest case(s) that they're currently working, and therefore it doesn't make always make it overly relevant.

I have checked the local processing times and I will bet money they are like the USCIS processing times, based on the oldest. Our appointment for an interview is 9 months ahead of the month they have listed.

YOUR local office's times may well be close to USCIS', but that may not be the case at ALL offices. Thus, it may still be prudent for each person to check the estimated VJ processing times at their office.

Individual mileage may vary.

It has been explained to me that now there has been a change in how the current processing dates work. It now is displaying the typical wait time unless they are backlogged and out of that target allowance date. If they are backlogged and out of normal processing times the website will then show the oldest date.

For example - if they average I485's take 6 months to adjudicate, the site will say 6 months. If they fall outside of the 6 month mark - they will display the oldest date to adjudicate.

WOW USCIS with more 'relevant' dates - that's surely a first :lol: . I'm glad they're finally getting there!

I still think its relevant to get a good idea from here about processing times at your local office. In my particular local office's case, VJers are showing about 2 months less wait time than what is posted on USCIS' site. But let's face it: trying to make anything with USCIS 'routine' is probably a lesson in futility!! :lol:

well no, not necessarily more relevant. if a local office adjudicates a petition in less than the stated target date then its supposed to be a welcomed suprise where if they are outside the target date they will just simply move the dates up as needed.

i tried looking for the press lrelease I saw on this, but i cannot find it. RJ has the link.

I dont think that this is true. I checked the times on the site for Tucson, and the date listed is Jan 13th. I know that the tucson office is not backlogged and things seems to get done really quickly there. Also I checked several other field offices and they have the processing date of .. you guessed it ... Jan 13th!

Right on - thanks for the tip. Maybe RJ will happen by and post the link. :thumbs:

Although what JamalNTam posts is interesting - something is definitely weird about that.

The reported processing dates are not the "typical" wait but the USCIS promised "goal" dates. In other words, if the USCIS has established a "goal" of processing an petition/application in 6 mos. or less then the date reported will never be closer than the goal regardless of backlogged or not. If the USCIS is outside the "goal" then they will report the worst case.

YMMV

exactly. that is why you will see many offices reporting the same processing date. not because they are all working on this date, but because they are processing within normal goal dates. and yes, that means many will be processed sooner than the goal date.

And I thought the reason we all post our progress on a website like this is see how everyone is really progressing? Yes every office may be different just as every adjudicator and case is different but at least we can get information that gives a little more hope than the dates posted by USCIS right?

HI July filers...

Saturday got a letter from the USCIS with 3 pink sheets -RFE

it seems they are requesting an I-693, which I originally submitted in sealed envelope along

with the AOS application. #######?

Thank God! at the time of having the civil surgeon doing this paper work I asked for a copy for my own records. I am resubmitting the original Vaccination worksheet copy from my Vancouver medical exam along with record copy from the Civil Surgeon...too bad... they will just have to accept these copies since they lost my sealed envelope!

additionally....we filled out the I864EZ short form affidavit of support , since reading the qualification rules

we thought we qualified! It says nothing about "if the sponsor is "self-employed" this short form does

not apply! #######!!!!

so...here we are filliing out the long form! and resubmitting...what a pain in the @SS!

wish me luck! Posting again TODAY!!!!

Hi all. Another update for me - Interview date, October 16, Tuesday at 1pm.

Dare I hope that I won't be getting an RFE now that I have an interview date? Or am I being too optimistic? :D
