some that are still showing as waiting have not reported back on here to update the spreadsheet and some are actually still waiting...from 2016 even.
LVO does NOT go in order for app approval, those who got DM or PPR before you just had a easier app for LVO to quickly approve it. whats considered easier? well thats upto LVO, it can include many factors such as how each person has proved their marriage genuineness, or if their background checks completed quicker, or if LVO saw no red flags according to them etc etc, all we can do is guess.
most report back because they have been on here getting help and helping others through this awful process and come here to finally close their case and for us to update spreadsheet and update the stats. or just cuz they are nice. lol.
