@Bh_sarah, which range are you personally in on your spreadsheet?

53500. Unfortunately one of the biggest ranges and I am guessing it's because of President's Day holiday on the 21st, so all cases they got Friday to Monday have the Feb 22nd received date.

They should be processing some February filers already no?

Heyy, what does that range mean and also how do you find it?

No, they never *actively* worked on February until now, but for the past month there has been close to zero movement, just denied expedites, some case denials, and one expedited case approved. I even gave up on scanning my own group as often as I once did. I think in January there were a LOT of "case closed benefit received by other means" updated (K3s) and it gave me hope, but that was it. After that, silence.

Means cases with receipt number ending from 53500 to 53999. It's a common thing to group the cases by groups of 500 due to CaseTracker app (the max is 500 cases scanned per time). I use CaseTracker to scan the February cases (approximated because there are some January and March cases on the first and last ranges), but some people here use a custom script to do so, also in groups of 500.

I see you're a September 22 filer, your range should even have one more number since it zeroes in October (I could be wrong haha, I only scan my month).

Surprisingly some late September filers got WAC23 numbers. I noticed that when I tried getting a baseline for October 22, being part of that group.

I wonder if it's cases they temporarily lost haha then they started the new 2023 receipt number and suddenly found a forgotten September case that needs to be entered into the system. (Isn't it crazy how this freaking thing is paper-based when it could all be digital!!!?)

There are few late February cases along with some March groups as well, but I just don't consider them or else I'd have to track them individually to not skew my month data. It's always approximate to save time unfortunately, that's why I appreciate @Obllak's precise data on month's totals.

When I filed I was in shock for the first week of filling out the paperwork, I was like I 100000% have to have done this incorrectly because there is no way in 2022 that it is a paper application. And then all my research led me to Visa Journey hahaha

Absolutely, it's crazy. I can't even imagine the stacks of paper they have filed away, and just waiting to be reviewed. They must have some giant warehouses to keep it all.

I am an WAC23 *cries* As a October 2022 filler :,)

[Bh_sarah 942]

It's just their fiscal year that ends in October, your receipt number is still 2022, don't worry too much! haha

That is normal, the Fiscal Year in the US government runs until Sep 30th.
