CSC any approvals today?

[Jeffrey S 5]

Getting concerned, 6:00pm in California and havent seen any approvals on Igors list today, the one that says the 19th was actually from yesterday.. Hmmm anyone know of any approvals today??

[Boggy1974 124]

No.

In the ~35 cases the same date as mine (WAC#s) there we're about 5 rfe's today, and a couple with "alien registration number changed", which usually means an upcoming approval or RFE. Of course out of the 8 or so cases remaining untouched is also mine.

There were also VERY few (if any) last Friday (4/12), or any Friday in recent memory. I kinda suspect they are either furloughed on Fridays (a lot of California state offices are closed on Fridays now, due to to budget issues -- admittedly this should be a Federal office so I'm not sure?) or simply assigned to deal with other casework on Fridays. I'm not panicking because I think it's relatively normal. But I sure will be watching to make sure the pace keeps up next week!

Same here!!! All the others seemed to come in after 4pm the past few days. Today, nothing!

How did you find this information Bayareaguy?

I got a call from my congresswoman today but no NOA2! She said that CSC told her our file is with a officer for review and that we should be receiving something in the mail within 30 days with a response. That is all she said.

Checking the I129F's around my WAC case number. There are about 35 very close to mine which I check daily, and you can see when they are approved, RFE'd, or some other touch (address change, alien number changed).

I recommend that everyone should find the cases that were filed the same day as their own, so you can see the actual approvals instead of the population that updates their timelines in VJ.

All you do is type in your WAC #, then change the last number, and keep going until you find other I129Fs, and write those down to check on from time to time. You may have to go through a lot of numbers to get them, but they are there.

You mean in the actual USCIS website? https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus.do

[Bayareaguy 156]

Yes.

[F&N 7]

Yes.

Got it thanks! Just checked and most of the dates same as mine are still waiting...August 6.

Do be aware that you may have to go through A LOT of numbers. I started a week or two ago trying to find other I-129F's around my date. So far I've gone through 450 numbers and found only 4 other I-129Fs -- all of the others are DACA and EAD. I got tired and may go back and try more, but I'd say you'd need to try a minimum of 500 numbers, if your date is anything like mine.

[Bayareaguy 156]

Yes, pick a time where you have a lot of idle time on your hands to go through them. Also, make sure to record the #s of the ones you do find so you don't waste your effort.

[Navid+Tina 3]

There has not been any confirmed approvals for 4/19/13

My number ends with 069971 and when I get to 070000 is comes up with no case. Any idea on how to keep researching the upper end? I found the boundry on the lower end.

There were at least 43 RFE's today in the 7/18 - 8/6 timeframe. No approvals........
