Am I allowed to post outside links here? This could go in any of the april/may or june topic but I want more of us to see it. I got into on FB argument about current state of Uscis backlog, provided data that Xiaova and the rest of you guys provide us daily and I got a response that got me very, very confused. Wouldn't pay much attention if it wasn't someone who states that knows this matter very good. Maybe I'll just quote what he said here and you be the judges:

" I was a member of Visa Journey since 2015.  I know and even admin some groups with admins from there. Case Tracker only reports exactly what is on the USCIS site. There is nothing special about it but they do sell your info if you decide to log in. I’ve used that for years too. You are 100% wrong on how the timelines work there but that is your opinion. Yes. We also scan sites and Bryan puts up monthly reports here.  There is no info you have that we don’t and we have. Some of what you are saying is skewed and some is just wrong. I’m glad you like Visa Journey so much. It is a great site with amazing mods and admins. That doesn’t make your perception correct. "

 

He basically says that Excell sheets shared here, and daily approvals we follow daily are skewed and 100 percent wrong. I'd really like someone to prove this wrong.

I’ve had this argument before with one of the admins. I 100% trust the spreadsheets and the app because it’s reflective of the dismal processing times that they have been denying for months. The admins in that group seem to think that “processing times are increasing because more filers” but that’s not the whole story. Something happened at USCIS back in October 2021 and its just now starting to be addressed.

 

 

Our group and a few others (March and may) have suffered the most and it took almost 5 months just to get through March and start April. Clearly something was wrong. Also, my approval of NOA2 showed up in the app the same day as I got the official email from USCIS. I fully trust the hard work our group has done to keep track of the numbers in the spreadsheets. I guess the admins in the FB groups are just out of date

Don't want to go off topic, especially when people are waiting for todays numbers, so ill just leave this for amusement in the meantime. Not sure what's the interest of those admins for sharing this informations. Maybe we are all approved already but "our perception is wrong".

The numbers given here aren't all from case tracker, many make their own scripts that scan the website which scans EVERY. SINGLE. CASE.

 

Even case tracker, it scans every single case..

 

So if they believe its inaccurate to track every single case to get the data, I think theyre beyond help

Tell them it's not Visajourney numbers; its numbers tracked from every single persons case that happens to get posted on Visajourney.

 

Visajourney's database is member based and thats where the confusion is. Case tracker app and the spreadsheets count every single case

I don't think he realizes people scan the actual data from the USCIS database. He's just assuming we're looking at people's timelines on Visa Journey, which they don't necessarily update and that definitely just is a sample of people.

 

I'm not sure who has been approved from Sep. to Nov. 2021. I'm guessing they're expedites or just really lucky by chance. In my opinion, the most official way to figure out where they really are is to check the processing time on the USCIS website since that now seems to be a good reflection of reality. The receipt date for inquiry is March 25, 2021. So, nowhere near September filers yet! We're all just waiting patiently that's for sure!

I was thrown out of topic immediately, something is fishy there 😀. Thanks guys, sorry again for going off.

The uscis processing site can be a good reflection, it sometimes lags behind though. quite awhile ago I was able to make an inquiry, because the dates were behind what the actual processing time was. 

 

Im an April Applicant, that was approved in April. I was able to make an "outside of normal processing time" inquiry all the way back in January, until they finally updated it after being swarmed with inquiries. 

 

So its usually accurate; just occassionally outdated

@JankoB It really just seems like he's not able to grasp that you're not referencing the VisaJourney timelines, but actual USCIS data that happens to be shared in the forum (sounds like a fun group to be in 🤣)

There’s also 1 approval in addition to RFER in my group 76500. Not sure if there’s anything missing in other groups, but these few days the activity in my group doesn’t seem to come up on your updates even at the end of the day. 
 

thank you for keeping up with the updates everyday despite you being on the other side now!

The weird thing is 765xx was approved back on 5/25/22 according to my file so it seems like a duplicate (sometimes UCSIS goes back and updates the date on an already approved case). The approved one that yesterday wasn't on my file though. I should probably reprocess the group over the weekend.

Oh I see. That’s weird indeed. But just few cases +/- so we have a rough idea of how the cases are going still. Thank you!

I read earlier someone had 2 approval dates because they never received their first letter. That could explain the duplicate.

Do we have any data on average times from RFE received to next update?
