At Last Some Real Progress!

:dancing:

Here are the new VSC summary stats that reflect approvals dated through November 11th. To compare to the previous report, click here.

The projected number of processing days is based upon the number of open petitions divided by number of petitions approved per day for the various periods. As the approval rate changes, the projected processing time will change also. Perhaps dramatically. Please do not take the projections too seriously. However, projections may be useful in determining if your plans are realistic given the current rate of approvals.

This table lays out very well in my Internet Explorer. If it looks strange in your browser please let me know. Suggestions as to how to make the Summary Stat Report better are welcome.

Well, I was bored so I did some timeline searching. I only searched VSC for any K-visa type approvals. These are some numbers I came up with. My seach dates begin one day ahead of the actual period.

Approvals

January 42

February 27

March 48

April 36

May 37

June 15

July 26

August 29

September 13

October 20

Are these numbers right?? If so, I'd say Vermont has made huge progress! Of course, the numbers could be skewed depending on the number of members for each month who are active on VJ. But still, for the first 1/3 of the month, we've crushed every other month this year! Please keep it up...
