No need to worry about it at all.Very soon you will be jumping around like a "cricket" when you receive your visa.

It's been a long while but we got approved today in Mumbai. Now to make concrete plans

some countries need invoice number to pay fees i think .. not all though

It is integral. Once you get the case number you can start with the medical, interview and other stuff you mentioned

Congrats to all who got their NOA2s this week !!
I will be doing the final round of stat updates tomorrow for April so it should be interesting to see the numbers .....also for anyone from the other months, if you want to crunch the numbers for your time group let me know and ill happily share my code.....good way to learn some programming and a cool toolset.

Received my approval last night !!! An excellent way to start the morning when I saw the text, I went to sleep thinking another night no results and the text came in 15 minutes later

Thanks guys no trouble at all. This is a stressful process as it is so I was wondering if the numbers/stats add to that pressure. I will continue to post them on a weekly basis.
Have a fun & safe long weekend !!

We had some good rates this week
Feb is almost at 80% (without deletions) and March is at 63%.
April started off the week at 26% and ended at 42.8% which is about 55 NOA2s at 10.5 per day
I am now including a separate columns for accounts that have been deleted and they haven't given a NOA 2 date
Quick question: is this weekly stat still useful to y'all or just adding more stress ?

The one April 21 filer that you see is an expedited case (same for 1 of the April 21 ). Many K1 applications that had Haiti as the country are being expedited due to some special case exception (natural calamity if I'm not mistaken). You'll also notice the same in applications from May.
If you go back a couple of pages you'll see a post by me showing a table of the percent left by NOA1 date for timelines posted here on VJ. Right now April 11 is showing at 50% left and if you check the processing time here it will show the CSC going through April 4 NOA. If you go through the last 15 of Igors List youll see that some Feb & March applications are also being processed along with us. Think of it as a bell curve with the most # of approvals coming for the peak date but also some approvals coming on either side of the peak (I think oto said it was 2 weeks or so on each side ).
I wouldn't worry about it yet

Surprisingly some people got notifications on Saturday as well ...I knew they worked Saturday but didn't realize notifications went out then too

So we start off the week at 26% and here is what the breakdown looks like

Alright, stats for this week
We saw about 13 NOA2s per day.....really a challenge keeping track of down ticks since people are still adding timelines to April, from next week Ill just keep a track of percentage movements.
Right now April is sitting at 23.5% which is really impressive considering the first NOA2s for April came around 6/16...i.e. just 9 days ago.
March is sitting at 63% while Feb is at 77%. I would say both March and Feb are at much higher completion than what we have here because of inactive and deleted users.
Have a good weekend everyone !!!

It says on the timeline that it was expedited due to pending deployment.

Feb has 96 entries right now. Out of that 43 users have deleted their profiles, 10 deleted their timelines and 11 haven't logged on in over a month.
96 - 43 - 10 = 43 which would put Feb at 88% done.

As of right now, 27% of March VJ Filers have been processed (this number will be higher if you include profiles with a RFE)

so within VJ data we had some good movement today. I think Feb #s go under 100 tonight. Usually when a month goes towards 50 or so left its almost done in terms of activity

Interesting...I dont see the second approver show up on igors list....Im guessing different approval center
In other news, moving to Haiti guys be back in a bit

What theph said Im basically just running the numbers here on what is available. So the 5 per day is from members who are updating their timelines on VJ or talking about it on the message board. There could obviously be more since there are so many inactive users or deleted users (look at Igors List). If USCIS was approving only 5 cases per day it would be shameful LMAO
Our membership is only a small portion of the actual numbers being processed etc but it just provides a look in to how things are moving here and if we are getting closer to our month Maybe I should add a disclaimer that these numbers are for entertainment purposes only and may not reflect reality

I dont know about being behind by a couple 100000. If you look at this they receive about 13000 I-29Fs per quarter and they clear out a good chunk too while having a pending pile

I would say maybe 30,000 behind or so would be right or even maybe even less ( I have a feeling im doing the math wrong here)

Just got the text and email. Application routed to California.......now starts the patience test......time to take up yoga

Sorry, I missed out that portion
Congrats to both of yall !!!

You and I mailed on the same day
