New Processing Time Report - still no change??

Though it does not come as a surprise for I485 processing times for not moving forward, it does surprise me as it moved back. USCIS is using the processing times report as a gatekeeper not to allow any case status referrals from people like me who have filed iin 2001 and still waiting for approvals. Wonder how to make them hear our voice.

Just wondering. How can the processing go backwards? Do they revoke some of the approved cases and put them back for processing? Can not think of any other possible way.

No. It's not like that :)
The processing time indicates that they are processing cases received UP TO that date.
If the processing time moved back to a previous date, it could mean that the CIS was cleaning up the backlog.
 
This isn't the first time it has happened. I stopped getting surprised with anything that happens or does not happen with USCIS/BCIS/INS........
 
I'm surprised that people visiting this forum has any kind of expectation from processing time report ... We all know the cases they are processing ...

This Processing time report is FOR INS a weapon .. which they legally use it to stop people from opening any kind of inquiry for their cases which has been pending for very long ....

The dates atleast for 485 cases are big piece of ???? Just see how legally they use it to their advantage .....
 
I'm getting the impression that the processing time they show is the date of the oldest case they've processed since the last report.
 
In that case it should go back to atleast Aug 2001 because last week one of the guys with Aug 2001 RD got approved ....
 
Processing time means everything to some of us. It means when you can get RFE if you are not lucky.
 
I guess every one knows processing times report means nothing as we all know the filing month they are processing, but the real problem is
"USCIS is using the processing times report as a gatekeeper not to allow any case status referrals from people like me who have filed iin 2001 and still waiting for approvals. "

Thanks
 
I'm trying

to keep a smile on my face ...but inside I am dreading that this is a sign that they will slow down processing again...like they a few months ago. What a shame......
