When I went to put in a date for Left USCIS, visajourney timeline treated the date (6.6) as an invalid (too long) of a deference from NOA2 to shipped. I realize, most people don't have that information and I do (uniquely) due to my congressional assistance in asking USCIS for this. no, I don't know the limit, just kept backing it up until it accepted the answer and made a comment on my profile

Really interesting report in 2022 about the broken system: "for many years, conversations about its brokenness focused on policy questions. Who should be able to come to the United States or live here legally? For how long? Are they allowed to work? What about their families? But now a defining way in which it is broken is that the current system is unable to implement the policies that Congress and the administration have already chosen." and "It also shows that except for visa processing, backlogs have not arisen primarily from COVID-19 shutdowns. Instead, they are a consequence of inefficient agency processes that have caused wait times and backlogs to grow during the past decade." https://www.cato.org/briefing-paper/processing-backlogs-us-immigration-system-describing-scale-problem?fbclid=IwAR0xGc4h3AcbwvC_2PoT5v-F19BFMyOcXnHAIOAjArZixKSkCsBT4Jerycc

Now, just gotta wait for them to choose to ship it from NVC (so it can go "In Transit") Then gotta wait for it to be received/processed by Consulate (so it can go "Ready") aiaiai Still, good to take that next step (even if only 1 mm closer to the goal line)

So I can confirm that a few others have also observed that USCIS changed their website (so my and other scanning scripts are broken) Does anyone here still waiting for NOA2? If so, happy to keep an eye out for you and maybe even a "special alert script" to constantly monitor for your case. As of the last run (and seeing how historicals have run for older months), about all that is left is waiting for an Inquiry date So if you want updates, (or if I get board) then I will work on it. Otherwise, hoping you join us in the next phase of waiting for silliness One other question, Anyone sure how to leave feedback for VJ? On the timeline, the "Data checks" are not keeping up with the current slowness of USCIS/NVC

Just got a case number today .... Finally .... so NOW in the "AT NVC Status" 29 days after it was confirmed as left USCIS ... 99 days after NOA2 567 days after NOA1

Will be posting another "USCIS SCAN" soon .... If you are still in a CASE Received status, do prepare for an Inquiry .... As for me, I am with my Fiancee in Sao Paulo this week .... visiting ..... when it should have been getting her or maybe working on Visa. But still stuck at NVC stage. 562 Days since NOA1 94 Days since NOA2 Approval 24 Days since sent from USCIS to NVC Status - Awaiting data entry at NVC (for the past 2 weeks or more)

I know ... and try to remain positive as I also know there are way too many people even waiting for RFER or NOA2 still. That said, I just wish the whole process was a bit more transparent. Tell us that things were slipping and that we should expect action and I could make better choices. Tomorrow, I leave to visit my fiancée rather than going to get her and bring her back. Made it a refundable trip at first to get her, thankfully, but being I live 2 hours from Tijuana, I would have made different choices back in end of 2022 so we could be visiting together rather than expensive flights now (that also burn vacation). Hate this whole process.

Yours was fast ... mine took 80 days to get this far (and still there) Day 85 and still waiting for case number

Don't you just love how they give us deadlines ... but .... none apply to them unless they choose it to be so?

10 June Update of USCIS Scans. Continuing scans as we are still not quite to Inquiry Date ... If you are still untouched ... keep an eye on the Inquiry date. I will be out of country next 2 weeks but don't expect the scan would show much new at this point Nearly everything is RFER processing activity ... A couple of stray approvals or denials this week.

After 70 days, case finally on way to NVC. Only took congressional rep asking USCIS to get some light at the end of this very dark tunnel

Still running the statistics but as you might imagine there is very little activity for all of 2021 at this point. If you haven't received an RFE, It will probably happen. It seems that most all activity is either initiating or finally processing RFEs at this point. Inquiry opens June 22 for Dec 1 cases and continue out later for later receipt dates that haven't been touched (https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/) Make sure you send in an inquiry the first day possible. We all feel this pain and USCIS is really, really dropping the ball.

Fridays post ... My script didn't know how to handle a number of cases with the new "Case was sent to department of state" I am suspecting (and will have to research further) that these might have been some of the State Returned to USCIS Cases. More on that later Looks like they actually dealt with a good number of RFER (request for evidence received) ... even still, there are way too many untouched cases still.

It has been a couple of weeks since posting an update (Sorry for the delay) On FB I reported that a crazy number of cases have been returned to USCIS I don't really have a catagory in this report for that (Maybe I should add it ... it used to be rare) Burndown report also included ... looks like they are finally doing something about Mid-November 2021 as well Anyway ... on to the details December Totals since last scan (2 weeks ago) Approved:70 Denied:14 RFE/RFER:0 RFER->Approval:41 (incl in Approved) RFER->Denial:14 (incl in Denied) Total activity including "expedite" & "mailed documents" Changes on May 1 2023: 32 Changes on May 2 2023: 28 Changes on May 3 2023: 5 Changes on May 4 2023: 29 Changes on May 5 2023: 18 Changes on May 6 2023: 3 Changes on May 8 2023: 3 Changes on May 9 2023: 8 Changes on May 10 2023: 24 Changes on May 11 2023: 21 Changes on May 12 2023: 16 Changes on May 13 2023: 3 Changes on May 15 2023: 28 Changes on May 16 2023: 20 Changes on May 17 2023: 22 Changes on May 18 2023: 31 Changes on May 19 2023: 15 Changes on May 20 2023: 4 Report of significant changes since 2023_05_08 DEC 1-3: Untouched:8 Approved: 3 Denied: 2 RFE/RFER: 0 RFER->Denial: 2 RFER->Approval: 2 (Incl. in stats) Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 2 Rejected: 0 DEC 6-10: Untouched:17 Approved: 14 Denied: 4 RFE/RFER: 0 RFER->Denial: 4 RFER->Approval: 8 (Incl. in stats) Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0 DEC 13-17: Untouched:30 Approved: 10 Denied: 1 RFE/RFER: 0 RFER->Denial: 1 RFER->Approval: 8 (Incl. in stats) Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 0 Rejected: 0 DEC 20-24: Untouched:24 Approved: 31 Denied: 6 RFE/RFER: 0 RFER->Denial: 6 RFER->Approval: 15 (Incl. in stats) Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0 DEC 27-31: Untouched:53 Approved: 12 Denied: 1 RFE/RFER: 0 RFER->Denial: 1 RFER->Approval: 8 (Incl. in stats) Updated: 0 Term\Withdrawn: 1 Rejected: 0

no, not done ... failed to run the script last Friday so will have a last 2 week update for you this Friday Sorry about that.

I'm suspecting politics more than anything. Vermont center sent a few cases to NVC and they were processed quick ... other visas other than I129Fs are getting there and processed quick too

Have an update on the "Dark NVC" for you .... Yester day (day 49 post NOA2), I received an inquiry reply saying they didn't have the case and were asking USCIS to locate it (many on facebook have posted the same, just a second version of form letter) ... It did suggest I could call USCIS, so I did. After much effort, I was able to get to a live person who tacked down the case in their system. The result? Case is still at USCIS-California office, has not been released to NVC, no scheduled date when it will actually go out. So the "Dark NVC" is in many cases, USCIS just delaying cases further (at least for me and a number of people I know on Facebook)

Do watch the Inquiry date closely .... not long ago the Est processing time jumped in the longer direction, pushing out the Inquiry date, and some that could have submitted an inquiry had to wait (again) ... Best case, you get your approval or an RFE soon. Next best, maybe the Est processing time shortens (seems unlikely) Finally, Inquire the first date you can using that form

unfortunately, short stick. If I were you ... monitor the case inquiry date on the bottom of this page after selecting I129F, K1, California and be ready to submit an inquiry the first day you are permitted. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Currently, Dec 1 is allowed on June 15. I know it sucks but be sure to Inquire using this form the day you can (if not approved before) and never do an expedite. Then you get to join us waiting (in the dark) at the NVC step.

Hello Dec Visa Family. It is looking like RFE/RFER is becoming the new major group of people after this week. I will run the reports for the next few weeks at least but not really expecting new data, so look for them on Fridays.

usually a form letter saying not received, shipping times may be longer, wait more before asking again

Getting close to where running a burndown report doesn't make sense anymore. Burndown looks at unopened cases that were opened in some way .... Approval, Denal, RFE, transfered, something. This is from Last Friday to today (friday) and is seeming to be so few numbers that it may not be work posting. I this as we can see, over the last week, a total of only 64 cases across ALL of 2021 were opened. Individual week counts of "unopened" cases are well below 100 per week. If you really want to see more of this chart, please let me know or I think I might discontinue showing it Max (previously untouched) cases opened : 14 Occurring week of: 2021-12-03 Total (previously untouched) cases opened : 63 Week.....Was...Now...Delta..Approved..Denied..RFE Prev.......272....265........7............0..............1.........6 10/01.....14......14.........0............0...............0.........0 10/08......5........5..........0............0...............0.........0 10/15.....12......11.........1............1...............0.........0 10/22.....13......10.........3............0...............0.........3 10/29.....18......13.........5............4...............0.........1 11/05.....40......39.........1............0...............0.........1 11/12.....52......49.........3............3...............0.........0 11/19.....38......31.........7............2...............0.........5 11/26.....23......19.........4............1...............0.........3 12/03.....36......22........14...........9...............0.........4 12/10.....22......21.........1............1...............0.........0 12/17.....36......34.........2............1...............0.........1 12/24.....75......62........13..........11..............0.........2 12/31.....64......62.........2............1...............0.........1

As of last count there was 10 that were sent back for review. Of these 9 can be easily found in case tracker showing the 2023 dates. One (later in this message) was requested to Expedite but that was denied(generally a bad idea) Occurrence count is not high ... but unfortunately, it seems to suggest that you will have to wait for Inquiry date to get them to review it (or maybe get a congressman involved) ....
