Hello Jin,

Would it be possible to track only the 485s that went from the status "Case remains pending" (due to visa bulletin not being current) to "Approved" (after visa bulletin becomes current for them)? I was wondering if USCIS would focus on approving the CRP cases when the visa bulletin progresses in a particular month. (Also, since China and India are the two main retrogressed countries for EB, I was thinking maybe there could be some pattern to be seen from those cases - it's a long shot but could be interesting.) For example, on the weekly progress page (https://hilites.today/weekly-progress), there is a curve for the 485 approved cases in a week for each center, would it be possible to add a curve for those approved after being in CRP? 

Also, in the Statistics by Received Month page (for example, https://hilites.today/uscis_cases/month_group?case_center=MSC_LB), for me, it's really nice to see the distribution of "Pending" ( I assume = CRP) cases, but would it be possible to further see how many of the "Approved" cases were once in CRP? 

Thanks for reading this request and hopefully it's not too much trouble!

check this out first.

I will review your request and see what I can do to help. I will do my best to accommodate your needs.

Thanks, and thanks a lot for considering my request. The link you gave above is quite helpful, I can see the average time it took from CRP to approval. However, I guess the distribution of the difference between the time of approval and the time of CRP (the delta time) might give us more information (maybe it's not a Gaussian distribution, but what it might be, I don't know). Also, the average delta time might be different for different times of approval - imagine we have the 2D distribution of the delta time vs approval time, I guess we might see some clusters in some areas, but anyway, I'm just thinking out loud here...
