Project Kashmir:WAC-02 all I485 case status

sample application prototype output

Here is an example of application.
1) select "approved" cases
2) parse approved date
3) sort by approved date
4) print case number and approved date

Of course, it is not perfect
because some cases had already changed to "completed".

But still, we can get some information such as:
1) slow down after 11/16/2002
2) completely stop between 12/23/2002 and 2/10/2002
3) start approving from 2/10/2002, but at slow pace ..
Code: 
case number	approved date

This is very early stage of prototype.
Maybe, somebody can write better applicatoins to provide accurate information.

The purpose of this post is
NOT to provide accurate information
but to encourage you to apply OUR scanned data.

Great work

Great Work, Kashmir!!!

You have missed I-485 for 02-044 cases. I am one of them.
 
Just to reiterate something said earlier by ND022202. While static statistics are interesting for the moment they are not terribly useful in the long run.

However, after we have the baseline status for all the cases, it would be useful to scan only the unapproved cases on regular basis to see how many cases have actually been updated. This hard data would be great ammunition for the current CSC petition and for individuals to call or write their state representatives in Congress. I.e. we are not a bunch of whiners, we have proof that BCIS has only updated X cases in the past week! We need to use the data to try to speed things up, otherwise we’re just watching the paint dry at a more detailed and painful level.

-Just shoot me
 
I strongly agree with "Just shoot me".

We are facing to a monster named BCIS CSC who does not care about processing delay of our I485 cases at all.
We should have a power and we must move a powerful person who can influence the CSC,
but this kind of person is also not interested in whiners of I485 applicants.
We need to know the fact and to provide the proof that we are currently working on.
We have a right to do so.

Frankly speaking, I was negative on scanning case status at first in 2002.
But, I had to decide to start this project because I thought it should be the only way
and I wanted to do the right thing for not only myself but also everyone suffering I485 processing delay at CSC.

I think that we must see 200 approvals per day in average just for keeping the current backlog.
We should see at least 100 approvals per day and more than 300 approvals per day for backlog reduction.
We may cancel this project if we see 500 approvals per day constantly.

Okie guys we hv data to prove they are not working but Lame ppl always hv some excuse and the best they will put up is the web site is not updated though we r approving cases. the only ppl to get the flake will be ppl maintaining and updateing this site. But for waiters like us we can only hope our approval comes in .

Hi Guys,

Can some one please run it for "WAC-02-093". Kashmir this is really a great effort.

Let me take the liberty of thanking U on behalf of all our friends for whom U have run the script.

Thanx once again

Arz......
 
Hi Kashmir,

I have downloaded 1.4.1 Jre as shown below and generated a file with the WAC numbers WAC02066(00000 .. 99999) per line as an ascii file and fed into your script file. I am getting the following error messages.

Obviously I am missing something. I would appreciate if you can correct me.

Thanks,
samrat1

Thanks caltiger for the list and here is the status.

Approved on April 7th 2003 = 8

Received for processing = 31
Resumed processing after FP = 55
Approved your application = 77
Completed processing = 30
Finger print sent = 2
Case transfered for interview = 34

Approved in April = 21

Grand Total Number = 229

Looks like they are working on 485's now

Kashmir you have started a great job.

Hi, samrat1,
Thanks for your trying my program.

It's the latest.

Did you extract kashmir1.zip at first ?
If you have kashmir1.zip after downloading,
try:
C> rename kashmir1.zip kashmir1.jar
C> type WACfile | java -jar kashmir1.jar > Hello

If it doesn't work,
try:
C> unzip kashmir1.zip
(or unzip kashmir1.jar if already renamed.)
C> type WACfile | java -classpath . kashmir.Kashmir1 > Hello

As this was reported before, I will investigate it.

You don't need ".class",
and the package name is "kashmir" not "kashmir1",
so try:
C> type WACfile | java kashmir.Kashmir1 > Hello

> C:\kashmir>type WACfile |java kashmir1\Kashmir1.class > Hello
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kashmir1\Kashmir1/class

The same as the previous one,
and package separator must be "." not "\".

Could you add 276?

My wife's and my cases: WAC-02-276-5xxxx

RD/ND: 9/11/2002
I-140 Approved: 1/14/2003

Thanks.
 
kashmir, You did a great job. It's really helpful.

Would you please add wac-02-062-5xxx and wac-02-206-5xxxx

Thanks,

Yuan

Some people had requested me to scan case status for specific date.

I understand that everyone on this forum are suffering from the I485 processing delay at BCIS CSC
and that some cases are very critical.

However, BCIS Online seems to limit the number of inquiries up to 1,000 times per IP address.
I am using several proxy servers, but it has still limitation
because it takes a longer time due to overhead
and only a few proxy servers support HTTPS.

I'm very sorry but I cannot deal with each request
for the above reason.

Even if you cannot handle proxy servers,
you can still scan 1,000 cases per day.
Posting your result (or e-mail to me is OK) would help all I485 applicants having been waiting for a long time,
including yourself.
Click to expand...

One inquiry through proxy server takes 3 seconds in average.
It means 10,000 inquiries take almost 8 hours.
A single date includes 4,514 cases in average,
so I can scan only one or two dates per day.

One inquiry without proxy takes only one second even if executing sleep() per inquiry,
so you can inquire 1000 cases for less than 30 minutes by yourself.

Some people had already scanned with his/her own risk, and posted the result at this thread.
If you would post or send me the output of kashmir1.jar,
I may give priority to that date.

Note that the table that Kashmir has posted has the following:

The range from WAC020-032 WAC0203-057 has more number of 485 applications .. even upto 300 .. Could contribute to the current delay of JIT as well ..

the number of applications decline for later numbers ..
