All,
Since november 22, all JAN&FEB 02 cases approved (30 JAN cases and 10 Feb cases) are approved RFE. Does it mean all case have to go through one or more RFEs before an approval. As of today, almost 60% of JAN 02 cases in Rupnet have already been RFEed. 66 cases of the 72 JAN 02 cases have gone through the RFE path (90% RFE path, 10% direct approval).
Feb cases also show a much darker future but the data sample is smaller. All 12 approved cases have been through the RFE path.
The new RFE generation has been steady for the last 4 weeks (~3 per week) for JAN 02 cases. 11 JAN 02 cases and 8 Feb 02 cases have been RFEed in the last 4 weeks.
Two explanations come to me:
1/ The NSC is concentrating its effors on the cases already RFEed.
2/ The NSC has a policy that almost all cases have to go through the RFE path. More than 80% of cases approved in June, July, August and Spetember went through that path.
I think the data backs the second point and almost all of us should expect a RFE in the future.
I don't know what is the most prevalent type of RFE but I think it is likely to be employment related. Why doesnt the NSC ask all of us to amend our cases so they can avoid the waste of resources and maybe improved the processing time.
By looking at the data I think when the the percent of RFE apprvoved versus approved cases crosses 80% for a given month on rupnet the month should be considered close to complition. I now many people from Dec 01 and beyong are still waiting. But I think this metric describe NSC current processing mood. Let's hope is changes it mood!!!
