Here is the link to the simple one.

Here is the link to the detailed one.

Links have been updated.

Based on some recommendations yesterday, I have revised the spreadsheets. I mainly worked on VSC today, but I will also look at CSC. (Thanks Longbranch for your help yesterday.)

I have filtered out any unapproved members that have not been on VJ in the past month (or I simply cannot locate them on VJ anymore). The only spreadsheet where these "excluded" members will appear is on the "VSC by Approval" spreadsheet in RED. If any of these RED members should reappear, I can easily add them back in... We are just trying to get a more accurate idea of approval times and filter out those members who may have received an approval and forgot to upddate their VJ timeline...How dare they!

Thanks for your continued suggestions.

please add me to your spreadsheet

This thread is in response to a thread I saw requesting the Delicia add K3 filers to her spreadsheet. I understand the reasoning behind keeping CR1/IR1 and K3 separated. Therefore, I have started this spreadsheet for K3 filers, like myself, who are waiting for their NOA2. I am a numbers person and I like to see when people near my filing date are getting approved.

You can find the spreadsheet here.

So, thank you Delicia for showing us how Google Docs can be used. I have never tried this before but am always interested to learn new tools. So I figured I would give this one a shot...

1. For all the California filers, I plan to add those spreadsheets tomorrow.

2. Both California and Vermont filers can send me their updates/changes and I will be happy to update the spreadsheets.

3. Cells highlighted in GREEN refer to approvals that have occurred over the last month.

4. Cells highlighted in YELLOW refer to recent touches. (Disclaimer: We all have seen that approvals sometimes happen with or without previous touches. But this is just another indicator that I was curious to track.)

5. If anyone has any suggestions for changes to the layout of the spreadsheet or additional columns, averaging wait times, etc... I will gladly take those suggestions also.

5. Lastly, If anyone would like to volunteer to share the updating responsibility, you are always welcome to do that also.

Ok, Best of luck to everyone and wishing you all speedy approvals.

Looking through the spreadsheet for VSC K-3, something caught my attention. I was looking at the touches. I see "groups" of touches. I see alot between 5/2 and 5/7. Then they seem to disappear until 6/16 thru 6/23 then disappear again. I've read posts on here that they work on one type of petition for awhile, and then a different type for awhile. This data seems to support that, unless they get 5 week vacations. I know I'm probably gonna drive myself crazy trying to make sense out of all this, but I have nothing better to do. Wonder if the K-1s and IR-1/CR-1s show touches in those 5 weeks.

Thanks for the work and adjustment. The spreadsheet does look much clearer now and not as scattered.

Its easier to see that in the month of June, most of the approvals came in the 2nd half of June. It'll be curious to see if the same thing happens for July.

Going by 129f date, its easy to see now how they ought to be moving into March's this month.

Maybe they get their FBI name checks back in batches. Just a guess.

I noticed the same thing about the 5/2 through 5/7 touches, seeing as I'm included. I've been trying to make sense of it...I've also noticed a couple of people getting approvals that had touches during this time... (Heaven, Briff2000), and Cuppa just got an RFE... Again, probably wishful thinking on my part... But would like to think they are moving on these...

I'm also trying to figure this one out because I noticed the people that have filed around the same time as me have touches around the same time. Its strange! They must work on certain groups at the same time. I haven't received anymore touches though. Anyone in February receive a recent touch?

it also look like a lot of those that were approved, didnt have any toouches, or at least didnt report them.

Look at the ones in green currently, few had touches.

The way it appears and reads to me, is this month (july), ought to have approvals from feb. and march.

I guess we'll see......
