Hi all--

First: congratulations to all recent approvals at the TSC! <3

Here's my question about the accuracy of the TSC approval list via Igor....

Looking at Igor's list of most recent approvals, on first sight it seems hopeful that TSC petitions with May 2014 NOA1 dates have gotten approvals this week. Then after viewing those timelines, you notice that each of these petitions were transferred to CSC in August 2014 and approved at the CSC this month..

Petitions originating at TSC but transferred away and approved elsewhere should be excluded from the TSC list so as to not skew the data. Shouldn't these folks be categorized under CSC approvals and not TSC approvals? Or maybe start a list for transfers?

I'd like to see a list most recent approvals at the TSC, that solely includes TSC petitions that originated and stayed at TSC until approval. Mixing in these CSC transfers is confusing and gives false hope that there will be a faster approval process for those folks who stay at TSC until approval.

It seems that Igor's list is generated solely with user timelines and no one regulates it. Therefore, it is highly skewed due to human errors and negligence. Never the less, be patient and expect at least 5 months to obtain NOA2 from TSC. The workload in either TSC or CSC will likely to be increased due to the potential upcoming immigration reform.
