  2. The wait for Vermont Service Center seems really REALLY long. I went for my bio on oct 10, and Feb 27 is a scary. I am so worried Romney will come in and ruin the dream for so many of us.
    How did you get estimates? how many of the 310 cases came from Vermont? And does the date the application was sent count at all. I would think so. A lot of ppl have been just walking-into the bio-appointments.
    I think this may have worked well for those who applied early and walked-in early because USCIS didn't have that many apps ready for final review. But I would assume that those who walked in later like late sept and oct won't have the same outcome because the earlier cases are ready for review.
    Please share your opinion with us!
    Thanks ;)

  3. Hi there,

    Don't worry, I am unable to update data in this post for 10 days due to technical issues. I gather data from various sources and use it to predict future approval dates using numerical methods.

    The speed with which USCIS is working has improved dramatically in the last two weeks. You should expect your approval by the end of November to beginning December, that's assuming you don't receive RFE and your case is fairly straightforward.

    As far as I can see, fingerprint date is much more important than submission date. Also, I don't think Romney is the prophet of doom for undocumented students. If you are deferred, he will not snatch your work permit and other benefits (if he is elected). But he is planning to put in place his own policy in two years.

    Follow this space, I will update this post as soon as I resolve the issues.

    Don't worry, you'll get your approval much sooner than you think.

    Thanks.

  4. Hello,
    Do you have updates on the new estimates? in some forums there is talk of 4 to 6 month wait ... Apparently there is a lot of people applying now, do you think it will delay earlier cases, like the late August and early September application submissions?

    Thanks
    We'll be looking out for your new estimates ;)

  6. As a relevant topic to this post, there are also some reports on the estimation of the number of immigrants that may be currently eligible to remain in the United States under the deferred action initiative.

  7. I took my bios on 10/11 and nothing yet. I'm very stressed by this process, as i heard other applicants have been approved in less than 2 months.

  8. I took my bios on 10/11/12 and nothing yet. I made a service request on May 28th and on June 9th I received a letter stating that there are no processing time frames available at this time. I never had any misdemeanors, only traffic tickets, which i already took care of. I don't know what else to do. Please advise, this process is very stressful.
