Hello everyone, 
Do we have anyone, particularly from Canada (so PD current) or ROW, who was DQ’d in April, May, or June?
There isn't anyone on the Google spreadsheet anymore. This info would help everyone to know where we are at.

Thank you for letting us know!
I created a new copy of the spreadsheet to keep everything organized, as the previous owner is no longer maintaining it and things were out of order.
You can request access if you need to make any changes.

Thanks for trying to stay on top of the spreadsheet to keep things organized. Could I have access to the new spreadsheet as well?

Chargeability- Philippines 

PD - Feb 2019

DQ- April 2024.

 

 

not sure if you noticed from this spreadsheet ! Last year - people who were DQ’ed Jan 2023 to May 2023- most got the IL in Aug 2024. Probably they are short staffed due to summer vacations. Just saying !

 

@Cryons4time  That's a great point! I didn't think about that. Fingers crossed you are right! You are giving us some hope! And thank you for your info. I added to the spreedsheet.

Yes of course! I think I just made everyone an editor. If you are not in it, just request editing acces directly in the Google sheet and I'll accept it.

That's a good idea. Just easier for everyone. Perhaps we can update the link in the top post

@Canuck201 Made you an editor!

Thanks for sharing on the spreadsheet, if you could also add those details to your timeline (on your profile) then that's even more helpful. 

 

Good luck with the rest of your process.

@appleblossom Hi! I’ve been on this forum for about two years, and I’ve honestly never found the VisaJourney timeline tool helpful at all. When I search for data, it gives me non-useful info (not specific enough to EB) or super spotty info. Is there a specific way you're using it that actually makes it useful? Or are you working with VisaJourney to help populate the timeline data? If so, fair enough!

On the other hand, the Google spreadsheets have been incredibly helpful over the years, especially for tracking progress in EB, seeing who among us received ILs, and getting a statistical sense of how fast things are moving.

You can filter by EB applicants only. By consulate. By country. Etc, etc. Sounds like you've not been utilising it correctly. 

 

There aren't enough EB timelines on the forum, but that's because people don't bother to complete theirs, despite me asking at every opportunity! If everybody took 5 minutes to fill their VJ timelines in, it would be an even better resource, and it's a great way to 'pay it forward' and give help back to the community that has helped us. Google sheets are only as good as the person hosting them, which means they are often out of date or forgotten about. If everybody that contributed their data to the Google sheet did the VJ timeline instead, that data would be useful forever.

@appleblossom Yes, that’s exactly how I’ve been trying to use the VJ timeline too, but like you said, there isn't enough EB data to be useful at all, or Montreal consulate data to be useful at all. Personally, I also prefer seeing all the raw data in a nice spreadsheet, rather than having VisaJourney select just a few comparables. Agree to disagree on that front, but we’ll make sure the Google Sheet keeps getting passed along and shared with editor access.
