Saying this... does anyone have the most recent database of results. I want to summarize it in my letter that I plan on mailing out tomorrow.


Only one I'm aware of is the one Naddy has out there.

So answer me this. Why does December 15 have way more approvals than say Nov 3 or Nov 4th or Nov 11th.



Ok I've been thinking about this. It was previously discussed there was some sort of a South America conspiracy/or theory. The US has a policy on reciprocity meaning that if a country requires US citizens to pay fees then the US makes other countries citizens also pay fees. Ok that being said, maybe the relationship we have with SAmerica, and surrounding Islands ect.. is different then across the globe. Perhaps when a background check is done "locally" it's easier then say Japan or the Philippines. I'm stretching here I know but, who knows.

For those of you who have been checking code and working on spreadsheets on Naddy's google docs. I added some code on there from a couple of pages I wrote. They can be used to somewhat automate the checking process. Check them out let me know what you think. OR if they work for you. They work for me and I'm using firefox and Iexplore.

(note it uses javascript so you may need to allow activex in iexplore, not sure about Firefox. )


second note: Its really better for checking a day from scratch then rechecking. It works by adding one number each time submit is clicked. So if the cases your looking aren't together you'll still need to change by hand.

I'm a December filer myself, but things being out of order like that piss me off just as much as they piss off Nov-Oct filers!

I am thinking about contacting my congresswoman Allyson Schwartz with the same info. I worked for her campaign in '08, hopefully someone remembers :P

We are all driving each other into stress heaven so to speak.......


I think most of us are intelligent adults completely capable of waiting and not getting to stressed. But there is some very strange goings on at the USCIS.
When I flip a switch I usually don't stop to wonder how does a light bulb work. But If I turned on the switch 100 times and every time it came on, except one day. Then I might question, why not?. That's where I am with the VJ/uscis. Last week of December the switch went off at VSC and now its not coming back on. Why?

Hello. EAC1002551513 this is your case number forget everything before 2551513 now look at the 25 of 2551513. That is your day. Nov5. If you want to see cases processed on Nov6 change to 26, Nov7, 27, Nov8 29 and so on. Now the next part 51513 of 2551513. The last four digits 1513 is the 1513th case received that day.

My current theory:

All of the current december filers have been from south america.

I am assuming the petitions are possibly split by continent, perhaps with lower than normal intake from south america recently (or maybe more staff assigned there given haiti) and as a result are up to december in their processing, where as the rest of the world is currently at the end of October for processing.

Acceptable? No

First come first served? Yes please


I'm pretty sure one of the December approvals was from Cuba. Not sure if the South America theory still applies. It is probably the old lady and the milk theory. Go to the grocery store and watch old lady buying milk. She will remove cartons in front to get the fresher milk in the back. Well the lazy VSC adjudicator has found it easier to take the cases on top of his stack verses to work from the bottom. Or it is Haitian Vodou brought on by my lack of sympathy for them.

Ok that is freaking ridiculous. We need to start organizing a class action against the VSC. Surely they are violating some kind of law here. Someone should be held accountable.

I don,t understand why the Philippines is so expensive. Probably has to do with the RP's government and taxes and shtt. My girl lives out in a province and internet isn't reliable.

I wish I could take their advice. I have many things I should be doing to improve my life. I have 5 chapters to read 4 assignments to complete all do by Monday. But I get about half way down the page and I realize I haven't comprehended one word, just cant focus with so many unanswered questions. The only thing, just one thing, that keeps me even remotely grounded is knowing there are still many October filers who are still waiting before me. I cant fully let my self lose control, knowing they have been hurting longer then me. Let us all hope that the careless person approving cases from December puts there hands on our case, and passes it through. Sorry October.

hi guys.. im a web designer and programmer. my NOA1 is on NOV 4th.. i was thinking of developing a database driven site so we can all log in and update the days and easly keep track and be able to view it from a website.. i will design the site just wondering if anyone is interested in inputing the data from the spreedsheet and helping keep track of all the and input each petition number from a certain day.. i could design a control panel to easly imput and maintain the petetions so we can all view it and get a clear idea of what is currently beeing processed.. with the software i would design it would be really easy to see what USCIS is currently working on if we all worked and keep it updated and inputed the k1 visas.. let me know what u guys think... thanks.


If you want to do all that work then go for it. However; the spreadsheets Naddy has on google are pretty good. If you know your way around excel maybe you could use your programming skills and have excel gather data from the other sheets and get statistics such as average wait time, most current case being processed, etc... I'm trying to figure that out myself. If you do make the website, I think it'd be great if it is done in a way where future VJs can utilize it. Go for it.

I want to get involved in the data collection as well. I just don't know what date to begin with. Nov 10 seems so far away, idk if it will be helpful. Oct 30 seems like a good date. The last workday before Nov.

I do have some good news, but also bad news. Out of the original cases that I was watching there was an approval today. The bad news is they are still working on Oct 22.

I work full time and therefore do not have time to go through thousands of case numbers that will not actually make MY case get processed faster but will just make me despair at how many people are ahead of me in the line.

Kudos to you for doing it and I find it genuinely interesting, but don't imply that the people who are just 'staying positive' are somehow less invested in this process than you.


I work a full time job, have two daughters I take care of by myself, and am a student with 14 hours this semester, but I cant concentrate with so many questions. I would never imply that any one is less involved, least of all you, I see your posts all the time. I just don't like it when someone tells me to stop worrying, be patient, and what I'm doing is meaningless and a waste of time(even if it is). I'm going to worry, be paranoid, be angry, and frustrated until we get approved, rfe, or rejected (I hope not the later). If things were flowing normally as before the holidays, the timelines weren't so messed up, or there was a real answer from the uscis, I probably wouldn't be posting or doing any of this nonsense. So if you like the stuff I'm posting good, if not I'm sorry I'll try to keep them brief.

Hi everyone.

I was so bored, and didn't know what to do while waiting for that ******* NOA2. To tell u the truth, was kinda starting to go crazy :wacko:

Since T and J un-coded the receipt number, i've done some manual searching too (which stopped my trip to crazyland), only for 11-09-2009 NOA1 date tho, which is mine :D , cos I wanted a REAL view over what's really going on at VSC

I saw that Jl_n_JL is doing the same searching too, so maybe we should combine our works, and maybe get some more help from other bored members, like each one can take care of a day or something.

I've been through all 10-30-2009 (1817 applications processed that day ><), and half of 11-09-2009. Ill finish the 11-09 day tonight.

Jl_n_JL , if u've put all ur info in a spreadsheet, can u send them to me, so I could add them to the file? I think I could give u access on that spreadsheet if u're interested, so u could update it too.

I thought of sharing that with u, cos I know how annoying it is to not know what's really goin on in VSC, if they were dead, or just working on other cases then ours.

So if others wanna help, pls say which day u wanna work on. After i finish 11-09, I'll attack 11-08, and so on ...

Good luck to everyone on their journey

Quick question. If you received an RFE for something you know you included already, like for example proof of meeting in last 2 years. Lets say you sent in pictures, boarding passes, and hotel receipts.

Would you be upset that maybe the adjudicator was simply trying to get a file off his/her desk and was easier then actually processing it to send out rfe?
Or would be relieved that your case has changed status and that it is an easy fix maybe to send more pictures, or something?

I wish I could answer that. There really seems to be no patterns or consistencies. My own personal theory is that VSC has redirected much of their staff to process forms different from I-129fs. Which ones, why, and for how long, I wish I knew. Unfortunately there are still Many October cases still pending before we Nov filers. Maybe if you imagine of 10 people processing cases, and they take 8 away to file I821 forms (EAC1007950009). Well assume the 2 remaining will work all the cases in their stack from bottom to top. Then you would have Dec, Nov filers being processed, before October filers in the stacks of the other 8 workers. Guessing.

None of the cases still in initial review were processed today. That is terribly depressing. I started comparing today's received-processing VSC and CSC. The VSC received-processed at least 1000 cases today and so far CSC only around 500. Of the cases at the VSC I'd say of the 1000 or so 85% of those are cri89. While at the CSC nearly 85% of theirs are OS155A. I dont know what this means. Maybe VSC is only doing cri89s. The filing fees for the crI89(i-751) is $545.00 I wonder if USCIS is trying to get this years budget. From my checking cases, I'd say the majority of cases for the last three months have been cr189 (which I believe is really only a notice of receiving i-751).

But what is the reason for there to be approvals for December filers? That is the thing that bothers me. If anyone should have been processed that quickly, it should have been me.



It's a mystery. Or perhaps not; considering we are talking about a US government operation where they hire based on quotas instead of quality.

According to the guy that posted this method a number like 50001 would be first case received that day and perhaps 51000 would be last.
