USCIS Allegedly Speeding Up Processing

[BlakeandOlha 0]

There is a thread here somewhere about how VJ community is maybe only 5% of visa filers.

So when on this site we don't see results remember we are only a 5% sample of everything that is going on.

I've seen this quoted a number of times - but honestly it could just be a made up number because this is such a non-transparent process.

I haven't seen the thread, but since USCIS don't release actual numbers it's bound to be only a guess. Whatever the numbers however, VJ does seem to be a fairly diverse and most likely representative sample. So when you see approvals slow down or speed up on VJ, it's a good bet that it's speeding up or slowing down for everyone.

Will numbers from the State Department do?

It would certainly help if they broke out the visa categories rather than lumping "non-immigrant" visas together. I doubt highly that there are 6.4mm of us.
