New Processing Time

spartakus,
Copy and paste complete link. Wondering how AP dates has move do 9/03/2003 when mid july are still pending.
 
feels better than see a even smaller advance. Maybe more H1 resources will be assigned here, let's hope that...
 
Dates

I checked th USCIS website and also called them over phone this morning and they are still swearing by the old dates - but the PDF in this thread has thenew dates. Any idea when USCIS will update with the new dates ?
 
dallasgcwait,

USCIS always updates a week or so later than the aila website. As a rule of thumb updates are done on the 15th and 30th of every month, or thereabouts.

I suspect there will be a big jump in the next 30 days or so.

All the best to everyone on this forum.
 
I don't understand

What I don't understand is that they are posting 5/2001 and they are handling 5/2001-12/01 cases right now from what I see in the approval postings in this forum.

09/26/2003: Mystery of Processing Times Report
- We often encounter callers who express anger over alleged mistreatment of his/her case by the Service Centers. Typically, they argue that according to the Service Center processing times report, they are processing "certain date" of cases but the caller filed their cases much earlier. Usually, such callers misunderstand that the processing and adjudication of cases at the Service Centers are produced in a matter of production beltline in the manufacturing plant. The following explanation of one Service Center should help the immigrant community to understand the reality of the work process within the Service Center buildings: "Some Officers are working on dates that are ahead of published times, but not every officer is working on same date. SC must report the oldest dates of each type of application being worked so even if they are working ahead, it may not be reflected by the current processing time list if there is even one case from the older date pending." When the SC adjudicates older cases to reduce the backlog in the processing times report, they have to keep adjudicating cases which they had received in much later dates because the SC cannot let new ones fall further behind.
- The foregoing should answer the common mystery why the later cases of other colleagues receive decision earlier than his or her's. People should understand the limit of the Processing Times Reports of the Service Centers when it comes to understanding of waiting time for a specific individual case. Again, it is not a beltline in an automated production process in a manufacturing facility.

Called INS this morning

My AP date is 08/28/2003 and I called INS regarding the ND having moved to 09/03/2003 and they said that we have give them another 30 days from that date for them to process and report on the case. I have come to the conclusion that calling the 1800 number isnt very helpful.
