March 16 filer reporting approval today! 

 

Ahhh! We're so incredibly close to the big 645x block!  

 

I'm sorry @dalindeck about the early March drought right now 😕 Not sure at all what is happening down there, once they got to like 20% of each group left they seemed to move on. It's my impression that cases are just assigned sequentially to officers and your individual speed of approval then depends on how 'quick' that officer is (and how difficult the packets preceding yours in the queue are). I'm sure you'll hear good news soon. We're all in this together and are rooting for you!

Not really looking forward to running numbers in 30 minutes. I have a watch on most of the March 4th filers still awaiting any action on their case and it seems like they've just lost the March 4th stack of people and have moved onto mid-March. Pretty disheartening

Sorry for that. Kinda feeling the same. Im March 10th.

That's great news! but at the same time a confusing beating down for many of us sitting in late Feb to early March. Just keeping faith.

Here's the lunch break update for today!

 

57000 - 1 Approval
57500 - 1 Approval
58000 - 0
58500 - 0
59000 - 3 Approvals
59500 - 1 Approval
60000 - 8 Approvals, 1 Other
60500 - 0
61000 - 2 Approvals
61500 - 1 Approval, 1 RFE
62000 - 7 Approvals, 1 RFE
62500 - 5 Approvals, 4 RFEs

63000 - 9 Approvals, 1 Other

63500 - 2 Approvals, 1 RFE, 1 Other

64000 - 0

64500 - 0

 

I included 64000/64500 today since USCIS seems insistent on partially completing a set and then ignoring it and moving on.

Today we're at 50 actions taken in the usual range, which is a pretty absurd amount by noon. That being said, because it is so high I'm not expecting much to happen by the time they close. Will post the final numbers again then.

We love to see it, and thank you for including 640x and 645x! I'm glad to see that there seems to be movement all across the board, still. Considering they jumped to 635x after only spending a few days on 625x (a huge group), we may even see further movement into mid-March this week. God willing. 

 

Thanks for your hard work on this!

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to share that when I got my noa2 hard copy, I noticed that the actual notice date (which is the approval date on noa2) was one day before what was posted on USCIS and case tracker. In other words, my case was approved one day before I was actually notified or that it showed up in their system. It is kind of odd to me because when I sent my petition, USPS tracking information showed that my packet was delivered on 03/09, but the received date on my noa1 was 03/08, so one day before it was actually delivered. 
 

Not that the one day makes much of a difference - although when you are waiting anxiously for that approval it feels like it makes all of the difference in the world! Anyway, just letting you all know this because your case may have been approved today and you won’t find out until tomorrow.  Best wishes to all of you who are still anxiously waiting to receive noa2!

Congratulations! And thank you for sharing. Mine was received March 10th and the noa1 was 4/2.

We're rounding out the day with a bit more RFEs, and an overall count of 58 changes today. A really good number. Hopefully it continues to go up or at least stay around this amount this week.

See you all again tomorrow for the next lunch break update, haha.

Fun fact: the other March chart counted 58 updates as well, which includes approvals off of RFEs. Which means that, today, all 58 updates were 'fresh', new cases. That's incredible! If we're lucky with these numbers for now on, we can maybe even hit 300 cases a week and wipe out over 1/2 of the remaining March cases by the end of the month. Meaning that, by the end of March, this wait is 100% over for all of us (but let's hope far, far sooner ) Godspeed everyone, good luck today troops!

Good morning, March 2021 filers! July 2021 filer here. I've been following the progress on this forum religiously for the last few weeks 😅

 

From my understanding, the CSC has been running at 40-50% capacity due to Omicron. Hopefully this recent news helps speed up NOA2 approvals: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-02-07/when-will-california-ease-mask-vaccine-rules

 

Really hoping to see some sort of trend where the recent ~50 cases approved per day increases to 75-100 per day. Otherwise, I will be waiting MUCH longer than anticipated. My original approval estimate was early March and it has been moved to late May, and will probably continue to move farther out if this approval trend continues.

Did some checking on a small sample (basically I have a small sample for each bracket) today and there seems to be activity on March 15.

This kills me everytime. We really thought about this time we would potentially be finalizing the process.
