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 I guess the admins in the FB groups are just out of date

Does anyone know what dates are being processed at the NVC stage? Are we just supposed to wait for un undetermined amount of time until our case is in transit? I really don’t understand what’s going on and it seems no one else does either 😅

Hi all,
My fiancé will have his interview in Panama but we just got our NOA2 on May 27th, 2022. Has anyone gone through the process with the Panamanian embassy recently that can give us any tips or timelines of how long the embassy phase is?
saludos!

This is shocking. I’m really hoping they are just now entering the approvals and we will see a large wave come in towards the end of the day. Otherwise this is so grim

Hey guys, our case was finally approved last week! I was at the lowest point the day before it was approved and completely hopeless and it was a total surprise and shock that we finally got NOA2!!
I will remain an active member of this community cheering everyone on until we are all approved. Thank you everyone for the constant support, encouragement, and especially those who make the effort every week to update the chart ❤️

Guys I really can’t do this anymore. I feel defeated, ruined, my mental health is at the lowest it’s ever been and it’s because uscis has pushed my inquiry date back 5 times. I know I’m not alone but I saw June people getting approved today and it made me so upset. I’ve been crying all day

Did anyone else notice that the receipt date for inquiry got pushed back a few days? I was just checking now, and I noticed that I can inquiry Aug. 10 (it was Aug. 12 before). It looks like anyone through April 11 can now inquire. I hope this isn't a mistake. If it's not a mistake, then hopefully this is a good sign, even though it's only a few days different. They have to start somewhere...
I saw that. I think it’s artificially decreased because of that huge June chunk they worked on instead of focusing on those waiting already over a year. I’m really afraid it will get pushed back again because so many filers are able to now file inquiries yet it looks like they didn’t do a lot of work in the earlier April groups today. Let’s see what the end of the day numbers look like

Also 4 RFESs came in on Saturday for 80000 to 81000 groups.
Wow this is horrendous. I’m very close to giving up and trying to find another option for my fiancé and I to be together

I’ve noticed usually not much changes between midday and the end of the day. So what are the doing for the entire rest of the day????

I feel for all these March and May filers is ridiculous they are processing way more june filers than earlier ones.
393 Days here… seems there’s no end to this.
Super annoying they can manage to do 40 June cases a day when they should be using those precious resources to finish April and start May (Unintentional rhyme)

Happy to see March still getting attention, I hope the remaining legit March couples are approved so soon

I feel Wednesday is usually the best, but they really need to stop with these June approvals
Agreed! They should be putting those precious resources into approving remaining March (!!!) and April filers. June still has months before they are outside normal processing time

Another disappointing day from USCIS. I cant believe I'm staring down 13 months, and soon to be going on June without NOA2.
It’s very upsetting to see June filers being approved ahead of us. What ever happened to “we process cases in the order we receive them” yeah right!

Well, with the change to their website, they just double down on lying to people. They are showing that the wait period is 10.5 Months, eventhogh we are at 13+ Months. Ur Jaddou (Head of USCIS) has no interests in fixing situation
Im spamming her Instagram, she only has like 200 followers. Maybe that will get her attention

After today:
April has:
2162 untouched cases and 338 outstanding RFEs
March has:
241 untouched cases and 548 outstanding RFEs
I’m wondering if the excel sheet for April counts the rejected and withdrawn cases as “other /untouched” since there are around 2500 remaining cases in that category. Does anyone know?

Hi All,
Today has been a hectic day. Took my dog to the vet for a check up in some cysts that were growing, as he had previously a serious tumor. Then went to accompany a friend to have his back "fixed". In summary had little time today to check USCIS case tracker. Which I was doing earlier today, when it reached my group, and guess what? There it was, OUR CASE WAS APPROVED TODAY.
I must confess I had an hour of overwhelming joy, where fiancée and I face timed, with both our parents joining. I must say this is a happy day for me and for her, and for many people around us. Only took 399 since submitting the petition and 393 since they received it, but this stage is now done for us.
I will continue checking up and all the people that I care about in this forum and do wish everyone still standing from March (and any other month), including with stats. I must thank this forum and this community for the support in the many rough days that we had.
Thank you so much everyone. Hoping for the best for everyone here.
I AM SO BEYOND HAPPY FOR YOU!! finally! I’ve been rooting for you for months, wow this is amazing news!!

In truth, they won't ever 'abandon' March. There are, after all, still cases from January 2021 outstanding from my last check. USCIS will shift the vast majority of their focus to a new month when approximately 90% of the previous gets done; now that we've hit that with March, it's unsurprising that April is approaching (and sometimes surpasses) March's cases/day.
I recall that when February 2021 filers had less than 300 left, they starting picking up March 2021 in full swing. We're about that time now, and I think the recent numbers reflect that April is becoming priority.
The thing is they aren’t really working in April either. 20 cases a day is a joke! And I haven’t seen anyone approved today in April. They just don’t care about the fiancé visa it seems

My math may be wrong here 🙈 but let’s just say they do 40 total case approvals per day from now on and that’s pushing it (going off this weeks numbers). According to the April excel sheet, there are still 2,624 cases left that have been untouched.
2,624 / 40 approvals per day = 65.6 days. Break that down into working weeks / 5 days = that’s 13.12 weeks to finish April.
At this point I’m thinking they won’t finish April until end of July/beginning of August.
Like many of you have said I am starting to lose hope but we can’t, we just have to stay strong as there is nothing else we can do. To avoid disappointment and further heartache, in my mind I am going to start telling myself an approval may not come until June/July time. I’m feeling worse now about it since we are actually in the so-called ‘April Processing Time’ and I’m just hoping and praying everyday to get approved, only to be disappointed. I would rather be realistic than hoping every single day that it may be us, only to be disheartened every time I check the case checker app. 😔
It’s psychological torture what they are doing to us. My mental health has ✨plummeted✨

04/20/22: 28 Total Updates: 14 Approvals, 13 RFEs, and 1 ExpediteOf the updates 25 were from untouched cases (Case Received) and 3 were in progress.
March (37) + April (28) = 65 Total updates.
At this horrible rate it could take another 4 months to get through April. My fear is what happened in March where it took nearly 5 months and it’s still not done. I’ve lost all my hope

I wonder if the amount of RFEs are contributing to the slow April processing times. They would essentially have to look at the application twice (once to send RFE, and once to approve). We've been seeing more RFEs than approvals, so it's like they're taking twice as long to move on.
I can’t believe the have the audacity to send RFEs when we’ve been waiting over a year due to their own incompetence !!!

Poland, my fiancé needs get the Schengen visa, crazy
No way, they have to get a Schengen visa just to schedule an interview?! That’s insane and so annoying. I hope you guys get approved soon. This whole process tests the limits of human patience

I got this message today and there are 2 problems. The first is NVC sent our case to the wrong embassy despite how I filled out the form. Secondly, it says we received an interview date but I did not see it in the email. The interview date will determine if we have to switch embassies or not since my fiancés student visa is expiring in 2 months. Is anyone able to help with this? Or did anyone else get a similar message but no interview date? Thanks!
