INS Internet Case Lookup - It can be used for exact analysis if someone has time

[skwk]

Let us resolve this day to day problem of when INS do something and what is pending. We can now build a software tool to know exactly based on the INS electronic data that is available through the internet. Any software guru with time on the hand can do this? Please someone sign up.

The only thing is the issue of various centers. I am not sure if there is something in the case number that distinguishes various service centers. Please note that various centers will be processing things at a different pace.

For year = 1 to 2
For day = 1 to 365
For case = 50000 to 60000

Run this
"https://egov.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/cris/jsps/caseRes.jsp?appReceiptNum=EAC0"+ twodigit(year) + threedigit(day) + fivedigit(case)

Get the ouput and parse if for ApplicationType: I485 and search for "approved", "finger print", etc..

Next case
Next day
Next year


Example output: https://egov.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/cris/jsps/caseRes.jsp?appReceiptNum=EAC0206551877

I dont mean to be rude, but you're just accomplishing nothing. INS is very unpredictable in terms of how they do things. If I were you, just relax and be patient. If you're waiting for your approval, yours will come soon, if you're just passing away the time by doing this, then do something else that's worthwhile.
