here's the recap for this week! sorry the image is such poor quality today - VJ wasn't letting me upload as usual. i think if you click on it, it'll zoom and be a bit better (maybe).

 

one less working day bc of Memorial Day, but they still looked at about 70 cases a day which is decent. October is also finally under the 50% pending mark!

 

some weird things to note: Oct-20 was relatively untouched this week and Oct-23 was completely skipped. not sure what's happening there since they've even looked at end of the month filers. hopefully, they'll look at those 2 dates next week in addition to the end of the month.

 

based on what we saw with September filers, USCIS will move their focus onto November filers soon, and leftover October progress will slow. guessing we've got a few weeks until that happens though!

Thanks again for the update. So we got a new week ahead with new progress coming up and I am keeping faith that it will be a good week 😊

Hey guys so I got a request for more evidence, On Thursday last week and it was something simple such as my  divorce so don’t be discouraged I was 229 days before I heard something. I got my REF in mail today will send it before the week is over

What information relating to your divorce did they request? I also filed with divorce information and am just bracing for RFE

I was married twice before so I only sent one which is from my recent spouse and I didn’t send the one for my first husband so they asked me for the divorce decree for my first husbandI didn’t send the one for my first husband so they asked me for the divorce decree for my first husband

Hi. I am from the September senders. Excuse for troubling. We are still waiting (Noa1 09/21/2021) . What do you think is the reason for this slowness? Maybe you know ...

Hi! I can only speculate, but my guess for the slowness last week is the holiday. A lot of people take additional vacation days for the week of Memorial Day, so USCIS likely wasn't fully staffed. 

 

In terms of general slowness for September, my guess is just that USCIS is moving on to other cases. Their current primary focus is October filers, and in a few weeks, that focus will become November filers. Based on the data, when they've looked at a certain threshold of cases in one month, they then move on to the next month while simultaneously working on the previous month. However, as the leftover cases from the previous month decrease, less and less attention is focused on the previous month's case load since there's relatively "few" cases left to review. For example, there are probably a handful of August cases that still haven't been decided. Just a guess, but does that make sense? Would love to also hear other people's opinions!

I agree and unfortunately, the world is opening back up. Its summer time. Staff may be going on vacation. so i will be surprised to see how many cases are processed within the next couple weeks

It looks like everything is as you say. Thank you very much for the information. Good luck to all.

I'm at the cusp of 20 Oct-21 Oct cases and noticed 21 Oct-22Oct cases around my WAC number were getting approved/RFE, and thought it would be my turn soon. Just got approved yesterday 8 June, with NOA1 dated 21 Oct!! It's been a long 230 days. BUT, also saw a line of 20 Oct cases still pending. Hang in there! 😉

 

I have not done medical checks yet, and understand that the visa interview appointment letter will have to be brought along to the medical appointment. The embassy should send the beneficiary a package and instructions after the case reaches the respective local embassy.
