I got curious about RFE processing as I am in the middle of that process as well, So I ran some statistics (included below) Mar 06 - Online Observe RFE Mar 10 - Post Office Delivers Letter Mar 10 - Returned to Post Office TBD ?? - Received by USCIS TBD ?? - Next Step ... So I mined a few RFEs to see how long it took to get the next step and counted back the days (by calander days) to see when the RFER (response) and RFIE (Request for Initial Evidence) or RFE (Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent) happened. Here is the data I have (formatted as follows) Case: Date (mm/dd/yy), Days from last, Change observed WAC22900286xx: 09/20/22 -59 RFIE 10/27/22 -22 RFER 11/18/22 0 Approved WAC22900296xx: 12/15/22 -48 RFE 12/30/22 -33 RFER 02/01/23 0 Approved WAC22900250xx: 02/02/23 -32 RFE 02/14/23 -20 RFER 03/06/23 0 Approved WAC22900253xx: 02/03/23 -25 RFE 02/15/23 -13 RFER 02/28/23 0 Approved WAC22900262xx: 02/02/23 -26 RFE 02/17/23 -11 RFER 02/28/23 0 Approved WAC22900240xx: 02/06/23 -28 RFE 02/16/23 -18 RFER 03/03/23 -3 Name Was Updated 03/06/23 0 Approved WAC22900251xx: 02/06/23 -25 RFE 02/25/23 -6 RFER 03/03/23 0 Approved WAC22900253xx: 02/07/23 -21 RFE 02/18/23 -10 RFER 02/28/23 0 Approved WAC22900291xx: 02/04/23 -30 RFIE 02/28/23 -6 RFER 03/06/23 0 Approved WAC22900245xx: 02/10/23 -24 RFE 02/22/23 -12 RFER 03/06/23 0 Approved WAC22900250xx: 02/08/23 -20 RFE 02/22/23 -6 RFER 02/28/23 0 Approved WAC22900285xx: 02/09/23 -29 RFIE 02/23/23 -15 RFER 03/10/23 0 Approved WAC22900288xx: 02/08/23 -22 RFIE 02/22/23 -8 RFER 03/02/23 0 Expedite Request Denied WAC22900293xx: 02/08/23 -15 RFIE 02/22/23 -1 RFER 02/23/23 0 Expedite Request Denied WAC22900261xx: 02/14/23 -20 RFE 02/28/23 -6 RFER 03/06/23 0 Approved WAC22900258xx: 02/15/23 -23 RFIE 02/28/23 -10 RFER 03/10/23 0 Approved WAC22900263xx: 02/17/23 -21 RFIE 03/07/23 -3 RFER 03/10/23 0 Approved

Burndown always compares the weeks progress as compared to last Friday. So this information gives an indication as to where USCIS has focused this past week.

Wow, already Thursday AM and I forgot to post Wednesday's Data. Sorry all. Lets get straight to it: As hoped, the Dec 6-10 activity was shared with the week up (Dec 13-17) and should be shared with the week of Dec 20-24 soon.

Looking forward to the end of the week burndown to see how the entire week went Data is changes from Monday to Wednesday Changes on March 7 2023: 78 Changes on March 8 2023: 46 Changes on March 9 2023: 5 Report of significant changes since 2023_03_06 DEC 1-3: Untouched:47 Approved: 4 Denied: 1 RFE: 1 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 6-10: Untouched:167 Approved: 8 Denied: 0 RFE: 7 Updated: 1 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 13-17: Untouched:227 Approved: 24 Denied: 2 RFE: 14 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 20-24: Untouched:358 Approved: 13 Denied: 0 RFE: 7 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0 DEC 27-31: Untouched:284 Approved: 32 Denied: 0 RFE: 13 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0

Just posted on FB that I am going to throw a party (probably at Bar Louie or Buffalo Wild Wings) as soon as I detect an RFE or NOA2 Approval on my case. Send me an IM if you are near Santa Ana/Irvine, CA and want to be added to the list. Might be short notice ...

For my Burndown (untouched cases opened) report, I choose to show as compared with last Friday. This will give a better view as to how the week performed this week.

Here is the burndown - Again only one day of progress .... Tomorrow will be weird in that I will compare with Friday to see the weeks progress Like yesterday, nice to see that even November had some unopened cases touched. Hopefully the activity continues to accelerate for everyone.

Ok, well there has been interest (by me) to run the totals yet again, I already blew my normal Monday, Wednesday, Friday posting schedule ... Instead of the Mar 14-17 mini-scan, thought I would just do the scan itself. BTW - Nealy all the Dec 13-16 was on the 13th cases. Nothing for the 14th or 15th (I am 15th) 2 on Dec 16, 7 on Dec 17. Am happy that there is still activity on Dec 6-10 so maybe they finally open some Dec 14-15 cases So, here is an update as compared with Yesterday. Total activity including "expedite" & "mailed documents" Changes on March 2 2023: 66 Changes on March 3 2023: 6 Report of significant changes since 2023_03_01 DEC 1-3: Untouched:62 Approved: 1 Denied: 0 RFE: 2 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 6-10: Untouched:208 Approved: 15 Denied: 1 RFE: 11 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0 DEC 13-17: Untouched:312 Approved: 8 Denied: 0 RFE: 8 Updated: 1 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 20-24: Untouched:413 Approved: 3 Denied: 0 RFE: 8 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 27-31: Untouched:358 Approved: 10 Denied: 0 RFE: 0 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0

As stated in my last post, This is not a normal Wednesday post. Normally, I would show the comparison of unopened cases being opened to last Friday. Since there was so much activity yesterday, I thought I would show only 1 day of activity While activity in November remains light, it was nice to see some activity in the week of 11/15-11/19 Dec 6-10 shows the most activity for 2021 cases and I have no data on 2022 cases (so unsure how we fair against far out dates) On to the data: Max (previously untouched) cases opened : 41 Occurring week of: 2021-12-10 Total (previously untouched) cases opened : 106 Week.....Was..Now...Delta..Approved..Denied..RFE Prev.......320....317......3..........1...............0..........1 09/03.....42......42.......0...........0...............0.........0 09/10.....13......13.......0...........0...............0.........0 09/17.....48......48.......0...........0...............0.........0 09/24.....36......35.......1...........1...............0.........0 10/01.....26......26.......0...........0...............0.........0 10/08.....30......30.......0...........0...............0.........0 10/15.....67......65.......2...........2...............0.........0 10/22.....73......72.......1...........0...............0.........1 10/29.....67......63.......4...........1...............0.........2 11/05....128....123......5...........3...............0.........1 11/12....135....135......0...........0...............0.........0 11/19....139....127.....12.........12..............0.........0 11/26....109....107......2...........0...............0.........2 12/03....126....125......1...........1...............0.........0 12/10....277....236.....41.........30..............0........11 12/17....335....323.....12..........1...............0........11 12/24....433....421.....12.........10..............0.........2 12/31....379....369.....10..........9...............0.........1

Normally my Wed Posts show activity from Tues and Wed .... Since I did an update yesterday, todays post will only include changes observed for Wed. It remains interesting that the website sometimes is even showing work done a day (or more) behind or (in this case) a day ahead. Dec 1-3 (like Dec 14-17) is late in the week and generally remains very slow. Dec 6-10 continues to see considerable activity, which is hopefully a positive sign. Anyway, on to the data Total Dec Updates are down as compared with yesterdays Activity but there is still reasonable activity Total activity including "expedite" & "mailed documents" Changes on March 1 2023: 81 Changes on March 2 2023: 2 Report of significant changes since 2023_02_28 DEC 1-3: Untouched:63 Approved: 1 Denied: 0 RFE: 1 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 6-10: Untouched:236 Approved: 31 Denied: 0 RFE: 12 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0 DEC 13-17: Untouched:323 Approved: 1 Denied: 0 RFE: 13 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 20-24: Untouched:421 Approved: 10 Denied: 0 RFE: 2 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 27-31: Untouched:369 Approved: 9 Denied: 0 RFE: 1 Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0

As stated in my previous post, I normally post on M,W,F but there was a ton of activity today so I ran my script (checking for all changes from Fri to Today) This also included the Burndown script showing a large number of cases in the Dec 6-10 being touched Sat, Mon, and Today. Remaining cautiously optimistic that this means Dec is getting some much needed attention. Max (previously untouched) cases opened : 76 Occurring week of: 2021-12-10 Total (previously untouched) cases opened : 288 Week.....Was..Now...Delta..Approved..Denied..RFE Prev.......325....320......5...........0...............1.........4 09/03.....43......42........1...........1...............0........0 09/10.....14......13........1...........0...............0........0 09/17.....49......48........1...........0...............0........1 09/24.....40......36........4...........1...............0........3 10/01.....26......26........0...........0...............0........0 10/08.....31......30........1...........0...............0........1 10/15.....70......67........3...........3...............0........0 10/22.....75......73........2...........1...............0........1 10/29.....88......67.......21.........11..............1........9 11/05....133.....128......5...........3...............0........1 11/12....135.....135......0...........0...............0........0 11/19....148.....139......9...........5...............0........4 11/26....117.....109......8...........6...............0........2 12/03....136.....126.....10..........7...............0........3 12/10....354.....278.....76.........54..............0.......22 12/17....344.....335......9...........3...............0........6 12/24....501.....433.....68.........54..............0.......13 12/31....443.....379.....64.........50..............0.......14

@SaraClaire11, thanks for your encouragement ... As a data miner that has even posted supporting antd uplifting messages as far back as July / Aug boards, your words of encouragement is welcome here. I can say that the processing for your month was considerably more orderly than it has been for months following yours. I am hopeful that most of us will get our cases opened now that the last week of Dec is forecasted to be the peak of the wave. There were significant cases processed behind but it is hard (even for me) to see the wave pass by leaving us behind. I know you know this personally ... and I feel deeply for September cases (which are almost all in to the Inquiry date range) as well as Oct and November which have many more cases that will ahve to rely on that process as well. Not looking forward to the amount of December cases that may end up joining that unfortunate process. Keep us in your prayers and thanks for the positive adjustment / words of encouragement
