April 2018 Fillies

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

Hey! Where did you find those informations UScitizenFilingforspouse? I want to check about my field office ( Charlotte/NC). 😊
I?m impressed with your knowledge and how helpful you always are. Thank you in advance.

Here you go!

I color coded it for you. It's easier to figure out intuitively processing times if you color code it. Ok, so here it goes:

- January 1st, 2017 2,320 pending AOS from 2016.
- Remember that applications are processed in the order they are received. That means that applications received on or after January 1st, 2018, will only be adjudicated/processed to completion AFTER the 2,320 applications that are pending from 2016 are completed.
- So you will subtract "approved + denied" applications FROM "pending applications"
- Follow the colors. Pending yellow - (approved yellow + denied yellow).
- You do that with every color until you get a negative number. The negative number tells you that you have finished all applications from 2016 AND now you are making a dent on applications received on or after January 1st, 2018.

2,320 -(603 + 93) = 1,624 01/01/17 - 03/31/17
1,624 -(620 + 80) = 924 04/01/17 - 06/30/17
924 -(1188 + 56) = -320 07/01/17 - 09/30/17 *sometime by the end of August they finished all the 2016 pile, and completed 320 from the beginning of the year - received on or after January 1st, 2018.

So interview notices go out sometime by the end of August and they get scheduled for the end of September. For easy math, let's say October 1st, 2018. That's 10 months to get to those applications filed on or after January 1st, 2018.
That is consistent with the previous processing time published for Charlotte, NC.
10 months (50% of cases) to 18 months (93% of the cases)
8.5 months (50% of cases) to 17 months (93% of cases) *most recent processing time, most recent quarter.

You can do the same math based on your PD and estimate when they will get to your AOS petition. Hope this helps.

Very surprised at the speed of this, all together 3 months from filing the forms to receiving an interview! My field office is Kansas City, MO for those curious. I suspect Missouri is not as dense with immigrants as some other states, which might be why it's happened this quickly.

Your field office gets a fair amount of family based AOS applications. However, they always process more applications than they receive. So they're always chipping away at their backlog.
On the other hand, the field office does not get that many employment based AOS cases - less than 10% of the number of Family based AOS.
All that being said, I think Kansas City, MO is a safe bet if you want to get your green card in less than 6 months - in spite of what the new processing times state.

Hahahah that?s great. Please provide the same analysis for any crappy California office.

Hey how are you doing? We share similar timelines. My PD is 04/05/18 and on the 1st of June my case status changed the Interview was scheduled. I?d like to know how long it would take to get letter of the interview date. My case is Family (marriage) based. If anyone got any questions or anything let me know.

Hey bud,

I received the notice online saying the interview was scheduled on June 4th, and today June 9th I received my interview notice for July 10th. Hope that helps.

We haven?t yet, turns out the post office wouldn?t deliver the NOA1 letter and sent it back. So now we have to wait for them to reissue us a new one. The fees were correct he just didn?t sign the i765 in the right spot, they said the the wrong filing fee message was probably just default because there is no filing fee for the work permit. They told us to send it back with a copy of the NOA1 so we have to wait which really sucks.

No further update on the EAD though. I guess it's possible I might end up in the GC interview before I even receive the EAD.

Thought I was frustrated and stressed out before. It?s even worse seeing people who sent their AOS after me already finish their biometrics when I haven?t even recieved a NOA1 yet.

Welcome to the forum! Trust me, we all know how frustrating this process is. When to did you resend your package with the correct filing fees?

Thanks for all your congratulations.

FYI, the app I use is the Case Tracker for USCIS and it's made by Stephen Aldous.

This one works as when I had an update on egov.uscis.gov I also had an update on that app.

I use this app as well. With the app I've added a couple of receipt numbers around my PD just to see how fast their cases are progressing, just out of curiosity.

What app do you use ??

USCIS Case Status. I downloaded it from Play Store. It has a US country shape, with a American flag inside the shape

None of these trackers ever work for me. I wonder why. I downloaded the app today as well.

I use "USCIS Case Status" . I downloaded it from Play Store. It has US country shape with an American Flag inside the shape

[jazzya]

Thanks!
I already updated it! I got on "case tracker app" a notification on Jun 1st "Case ready to be scheduled for interview"

What app do you use ??
