I does look like TSC is making up some ground. I sure hope so. I'm skeptical about everything to do with this entire gut wrenching process but I'm choosing to take the positive side of things.

How is it 6.5 months? Isn't it 8 months wherelse the other Service centers show 5 months in last column.

If you search by form and type and service centre at the bottom of the 'check my case status' page, you get this for Texas:

1). Select a form type 2). Select a form sub-type 3). Select an office Get Results Reset

USCIS National Goal - 5.0 Month(s)

USCIS National Average - 5.8 Month(s)

Texas Service Center - 6.5 Month(s)

Effective as of: January 31, 2014

So it's 6.5 months from July 16 to January 31. So I'm happy. They must be close to November filers now. I refuse to feed any negative energy and just stay positive that my turn will come soon!

Namaste.

I'm November too and staying positive. It's pretty hard to believe that Vermont has cleared 6 months in one (LOL) but it's looking at a May approval than August that has lifted my spirits. I know many on VJ are cynical and that the dates are just to please the stake holders but why publish the wrong dates if they are just going to be inundated with service requests? If we don't stay positive during this process, we'd all be suicidal.

Nebraska went from 9 months to 5 months.

How accurate has this been in the past?

Basically, any numbers that USCIS publish should be taken with a pinch of salt. They are very good at making their numbers look good, but the truth is that most people wait an average of 10-11 months just to make it to the NVC, then you should tack on at least another 4-6 months from there to interview.

March 28th 2013 - Priority date/ NOA 1

March 6th 2014 - USPS shows packet was delivered at NVC

Can we be a bit more positive please? Approvals are coming through from October and VSC recently approved one 5th November. Transfers are coming along well and they are not going to stop after their completions. I know it was getting up to a year because of DACA but I think things have shifted. It's hard enough living like this without people saying it's going to take over a year to get to interview.

I agree cathymac. There is reason to be a bit more positive. I do believe there is definite progress being made in reducing the huge delays we've been seeing for the last year. I do not believe the current NOA2 timeline is still 10-11 months. I'm thinking we are at about 7 months processing time now for NOA2 with it trending down a little bit each day. Although I remain somewhat skeptical it is fairly easy to see the reduced wait times trending now. By my rough estimate as a November filer, I'm thinking about 10-11 months from NOA1 to interview.
