It looks like USCIS has started opening previously untouched cases in October. Most of the untouched activity is in late December and I am starting to feel bad for Late July / Early August if the case was not opened yet.

For out december group, not much happening still No significant changes observed dates ~DEC 1-3 RFE: 1 Denied: 1 dates ~DEC 6-10 Updated: 1 dates ~DEC 13-17 RFE: 1 Withdrawn: 1 dates ~DEC 20-24 RFE: 1 ~DEC 27-31 Not surprising they aren't into December (my date range yet) as it looks like they are deep into late September. Feeling bad for un opened cases in July as well as early august.

Sorry ... script crashed last night and didn't check in until now ... having it running again and should have results shortly (hopefully before going to Symphony tonight)

Fridays (7pm PST) is when I run the scans ... Doesn't seem to be any value in running them faster than that.

I'll have indication of that on Friday when I run my scans (officially). The data there was me fixing a minor bug so didn't record those details and (other than December statistics) this script doesn't keep that level of detail since I was only looking to when they start to approach my month group.

Sorry to say that based on my debug scan today, you are on the tail end of where USCIS seems to be processing. I would suggest you be ready to submit an out of processing time request the first day you are permitted to Best of luck on getting your NOA2 Debug Scan comparing 11/25/22 (Was) to 11/30/22 (Now) Untouched Case Count Week Was: Now: Delta: 05/21 20 19 1 05/28 12 12 0 06/04 11 10 1 06/11 14 14 0 06/18 35 32 3 06/25 12 12 0 07/02 45 38 7 07/09 18 18 0 07/16 40 37 3 07/23 35 35 0 07/30 84 84 0 08/06 51 46 5 08/13 74 66 8 08/20 150 141 9 08/27 260 216 44 09/03 328 276 52 09/10 341 294 47 09/17 625 559 66 09/24 650 582 68 10/01 687 657 30 10/08 785 783 2

I have a suspicion that it does (see below) After reading below, I am curious ... maybe a PM of you are willing to share. Mar_ia, that seems quite doubtful. For example a simple timeline search here shows Ukraine and Russia had dramatic accelerations (in some cases as short as 1-2 months. I have also seen that generally (also based on timrline searches) that some asian countries seem to have longer time stretches as compared with others. In my scans, I see 10s of cases still untouched going all the way back to May and 20s of cases in July to mid August. Not sure what else other than "regionality" might determine if a case does or does not get taken from the "Case was received" to something more active (even RFE) Hopefully it comes through for you sometime soon ...

May I ask what country?

Weekly Update: The USCIS seems primarily focused on September and doing some August Cleanup (first time I see a Bi-Modal distribution) Script does not protect against reading timeouts so do not count the actual Approved/Denied/RFE statistics but is intended to get a sense of the general type of activity.

I was thinking the I-130 resulted in withdrawls rather than denials. Of course, some of the withdrawls would also be due to relationship falling apart
