Welp, guess it's official. December had less than half as many updates as January on Wednesday with 1000 of us still left ...

[mw & rg k1 629]

Wow, already Thursday AM and I forgot to post Wednesday's Data.  Sorry all.

 

Lets get straight to it: 
As hoped, the Dec 6-10 activity was shared with the week up (Dec 13-17) and should be shared with the week of Dec 20-24 soon.

It is good to see that they are still processing December with semi-reasonable numbers per day.

Looking forward to the end of the week burndown to see how the entire week went

Wow! That’s some amazing numbers for December. I was feeling a little bummed by the January numbers but now I know why. That’s really awesome. 👏

Burndown always compares the weeks progress as compared to last Friday.
So this information gives an indication as to where USCIS has focused this past week.

 

Hoping we all get approved soon

[mw & rg k1 629]

I got curious about RFE processing as I am in the middle of that process as well, So I ran some statistics (included below)

Mar 06 - Online Observe RFE
Mar 10 - Post Office Delivers Letter
Mar 10 - Returned to Post Office
TBD ?? - Received by USCIS
TBD ?? - Next Step ...

So I mined a few RFEs to see how long it took to get the next step and counted back the days (by calander days) to see when the RFER (response) and RFIE (Request for Initial Evidence) or RFE (Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent) happened.

Here is the data I have (formatted as follows)
