I've noticed something a little bit interesting when investigating the self-reported data in the google doc I-485 tracker.
It seems like almost everyone who's receiving the recent 4/29 silent update is NOT from the 75 COC. Specifically, look at February and March entries, and look into cases that are receiving a THIRD silent update. The first two silent updates seem pretty systemic for everyone after biometrics, so I don't know if it's really worth reading too much into those dates. It's just interesting to see that after the first 2 regular silent updates, it seems only non-75 COC applicants are getting the recent 4/29 update.
I wonder if this update actually signifies applicants that are being allowed to carry on without as much scrutiny as the others... where the 75 countries are the ones being "put on hold" for further investigation & background checks. OR the updates signify applicants who have to go through further screening that people from the 75 COC have already had to go through?
Thoughts on this hypothesis? Has anyone from the 75 countries received the 4/29 silent update as their 3rd update after biometrics?
