EB1 Outstanding Research Tracker

Are you sure you included yourself and waiting!? I can't see them.
The other ones I can see that is missing are gc_despo (16 weeks) and biology (24 weeks). That will increase the average a bit.

I hope it won't be long before I join this list. I am already on Day 50 and counting (hours, minutes and seconds!).

Thanks RPB! you rock :cool:

I'll add the new cases. Waiting's case and mine were there but I forgot to include them in the ascii list. I'll post again soon

Oh, and they are working on your case as we speak, I have the feeling ;)

And the standard deviation goes to hell ... are you sure about the biology case ? 168 days ? She/he is not in the tracker ... if we can trust this figure i'll add it of course ...

Oh, I see, but it looks like FP1. We are only tracking from FP2. People who use the original FP will certainly have a very different timeframe. These are the lucky ones, they got rid of the whole process in less than 15 months :cool:

I aligned most of it, gotta go now. If anyone has a little time to volunteer please finish up the alignment. Thanks !

Ok, I tried to make the list 'perfect' !

Get a letter today, similar to what Mendieta got before his approval, stating that they have routine security check, and lack of manpower to complete the checks in a timely manner, or so on...

Seems to me that they have couple of different versions of the standard letter forms .. Am I right?

Wish magic would happen to my case .. 3 days after receiving the letter as Mendieta did ....

When did you file your status enquiry. Was it done by you or your attoney? By phone or in writing? Mine was by attorney in writing on Oct 22 and I have heard nothing.

Looks good!

Hi Barney

Thanks for finishing the formatting, looks perfect to me !

3 days, 1 day, 1 week, who knows, I hope it is before thanksgiving :cool:. The bottomline is: it does help to send the inquiry. Personally, I think they have a couple standard messages to update online status or respond to case inquiries. They just don't care that much. What they have to do, and apparently they do, is to make sure someone picks up your case for approval.

I would just keep an eye on the tracker, and if things get particularly slow for myself, contact USCIS and/or FBI (name check issues, etc.)
T This is why I maintain the FP2-Approval tracker, I think it is useful in this sense.

Hang in there guys, it's cooking :)
 
A new update on the waiting time from FP2 until Approval Tracker

* Added gc-despo (Thanks RPB)
* I know I am missing a few people, if you can point them out (name and waiting time) I'll add them, thanks
* Both the average and the dispersion are a bit larger now.

The quick result: typical wait is (6.8 +/- 3.3) weeks, or between 3 and 10 weeks.

More precisely:
Average: 48 days
Standard Deviation: 24 days

Note:

*I give the results in the form MEAN +/- STANDARD_DEVIATION
* Of course, low sample statistics, but it gives an idea of what to expect ...

Hey rpb8260

Do you think it is better in writting ? I would think it can take way longer ... any reason why you didn't do it on the phone ? If I were you I would call them up, say that I want to start a case inquiry, and see if it helps. All you need is your case details and your alien number ...

Best,

That's what I thought, but my attorney said it was better in writing. I don't know why. It's over 30 days on Monday, so we will be following up one way or another.

Hi,

I called, and the guy took all my info. I think for I485, I could ask for inquiry by myself. But, for I140, mostly you have to use attorney. Am I right here?

I do not understand why writting a letter is better than calling. Maybe, the person picks up the letter is more likely to take your file out, and if it is a phone call, they will just look up the computer record, and send a standard letter reply. Who knows.

Best wishes to everyone here, and to me too :)

Yep. That's because I-485 is filed by yourself. I-140 is filed by your employer in your behalf. That's also why some lawyers recommend to wait for I-140 before using the portability rule (AC-21) to change jobs.
