NOA1 to NOA2 timeline graphs

So, this may be silly, but I was looking at the graphs from NOA1 to NOA2, and I was wondering what the little dot means exactly. If there is dot at the november hash, is that the average wait times of those who were approved in november?

If so, I was thinking something optomistic for those of us going through vermont who just put in applications: the big surge of wait times from 50 to 136 days happened over a four month period, and it can't get much higher than it is now, so if the curve goes back down symmetrically, maybe we can be looking at 50 day wait times again in another four months.

I'm such an opitimist though. In reality I imagine the curve peaking and then gradually decreasing with nothing near the spead with which it increased.

Hmm... Does anyone know when was the last time they did a fee increase? If we could see the graph of how processing rate times changed with the last fee increase, then we could more accurately extrapolate the graph for processing times over this fee increase. Where to even find old graphs though?!

Maybe I need a hobby so I can stop obssesing.

In previous times Vermont only processed 25% of the petitions and CSC processed 75% but when the new fees were applied at the end of July the petitions were re-distributed so that VSC and CSC processed 50% each.

Thanks! That is useful information. So I bet they have a lot of issues they have to deal with before we'll see the curve start going back down again. I figure at least I didn't apply in June expecting to only have a 40 day wait and then be dissapointed by a 4 month or longer wait. Now if it takes less than four months I'll be pleasantly surprised. Silver lining, I guess.

But this is the sort of wait all the other service centers have been dealing with all along, so I DEFINATELY shouldn't complain
