Less approvals more denials =/

Overall, still less than one percent of all the applications. We should worry when that goes to 10%.

It's interesting to see the 'applications received' number decrease as the months go by.

They probably denied more because they are backlogged and are just now getting to old cases.. just like they approved more. The ratio of approved:denied seems kind of consistent though

Interesting to see the downward trend.. seems nearly half of all the applications were received august through october, just by doing a visual calculation and they are only up to 60% approval through april.

Guess the other estimated half million plus potential applicants they were talking about are waiting on CIR?

11,000 less approvals than last month? Damn.

I heard many are just going to wait for CIR.

wow looking at these numbers, if uscis actually did the whole "first come, first serve" then all applications from august to mid-novemeber would be approved already. such bullshit

Not 11k less applications submitted, 11k less applications approved.

They are changing the reporting cycle to end of the month. Does that mean that another report will come out at the end of the month?

Yes. The April statistics are for the entire month.
