Adjusted P4 and Interview Date Prediction Table . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some thoughts: The process has improved drastically (getting shorter) in October. Only time and more data points will tell if the process will continue to improve or level out. I have a slightly more agressive prediction formula (using the more recent data), but will not implement this, until I see next month's round of P4s. I have changed the projected P4/Interview date formula due to the following conditions: 1. New information (data points) 2. Using a different sampling period (we currently use a three month running average) This formula update has only slightly modified (shortened) the P3 - P4 time periods. I have adjusted the P4 date to reflect, the approximately five working days each month that the P4 letter is actually generated. Based on recent past history, I have chosen the last three days and first two weekdays of the prior month(s) before the month of interview to project the P4 date. For example: for interviews scheduled in November of 2005 the P4 dates are : September 28, 29, 30 and October 3, 4. I hope this method better reflects the Consulate's actual process. I have not changed the projected Interview date only the projected P4 date. The adjusted P4 date should better reflect "actual" P4 dates. A word of caution, if a member is close to the end/beginning of the monthly cycle, then the Prediction can be off by approximately one month !!! Only interviews schedule after September have the adjusted information. And unlike the Consulate, I have projected the Interview date based on earlier P3 date = earlier Interview date. I realize the Consulate fills up the monthly interview dates using a different method, but since I do not have access to this, I will use the "first in", "first out" method. I must update members on the table with new information and add members who are not on the table but now have P3 data. I know there are many more members who should be included on the Prediction Table, so please PM me if you have new information on your case.

Historical Average Tables Some Thoughts: I discard "outlayers" when calculating the averages. This is the reason why the number of interviews used to calculate the average for a particular month might be less than the actual number of interviews for that month. Outlayers are cases that the "P3 to P4" number of days are either too short or too long. A few outlayers can abnormally skew the average either way. The "P3 to P4" time is finally displaying a "concrete downward trend. The "P4 to Interview" time might decrease if the consulate sends the P4 letters in the first week of the month instead of the previous week. Also, if they continue with a "two shot salvo", beginning and mid-month this will decrease the time from P4 to actual interview date. ..................................Historical Average from P3 - P4 - IV (Interview Date) ..................................----------------------------------------------------- .....Month(s).(2005)......#..of...One Month Average (days)...Three Month Average (days) ..---------------------...Inter...-------------------------...------------------------- ....One.........Three.....views...P4 - P3..IV - P3..IV - P4...P4 - P3..IV - P3..IV - P4...Comments ..---------...---------...-----...-------..-------..-------...-------..-------..-------...---------- " January...................32......135......174.......39............................

Upcoming Interview & P4/Interview Projection Tables for January 2006. For the Upcoming Interview Table, I will keep the previous month, the current month, any future month(s) interviews on the table. Also, any previous outstanding cases will remain. ........Total.....Down.....ToGo ---.....-----.....----.....---- NOV......25........25........0 DEC......12........12........0 JAN.......3.........2........1 FEB.......5.........0........5 Some thoughts: The "speed up" at the consulate has finally occured. This is welcome news to all. The time period from P3 to P4 to interview date is quickly decreasing. I hope it will decrease more in the coming months. However, one downside to this "speed up" in scheduling is the "2nd namecheck" process. The old time frame from P3 to interview was 4 - 6 months. This time permitted a wide variance in the "2nd namecheck" completion (2 - 8 weeks) without delaying the P4/Interview date. Only in extreme cases was the P4/Interview date delayed. Now, I think any member whose "2nd namecheck" completion takes longer than 4 weeks (my guess), might expect to experience a delay in their P4/Interview dates. Not sure about this, only my opinion. Alex we hope to hear good news soon. christer and EdG we hope for eventual success. Please PM me with any change in your case status and I will update the Interview Table Good luck to all (one so far) this month !!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ..---------------------------------- Upcoming Interview Date Table ------------------------------------" ..CFL_Name.................P3........P4.....Interview..#days..P3-P4..Type.Pass.USC..Comments ..--------------------..--------..--------..---------..-----..-----..----.----.---..-------------------" ".jbray.................04/28/05..10/02/05...11/02/05...188....157...DCF..Yes.......CR1 ".kaigaorui.............07/18/05..09/28/05...11/07/05...112.....72...K1...Yes..Yes..P3 mix-up by GZ ".sailorboy.............06/15/05..09/30/05...11/07/05...145....107...K3...Yes..Yes..Overcome - 11/14/05 ".singularis67..........09/09/05..10/13/05...11/07/05....59.....34...K3...Yes........

Adjusted P4 and Interview Date Prediction Table Using 3-month averages (OLD method) for calculations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some thoughts: The process has improved drastically (getting shorter) in October. Only time and more data points will tell if the process will continue to improve or level out. I have a slightly more agressive prediction formula (using the more recent data), but will not implement this, until I see next month's round of P4s. I have changed the projected P4/Interview date formula due to the following conditions: 1. New information (data points) 2. Using a different sampling period (we currently use a three month running average) This formula update has only slightly modified (shortened) the P3 - P4 time periods. I have adjusted the P4 date to reflect, the approximately five working days each month that the P4 letter is actually generated. Based on recent past history, I have chosen the last three days and first two weekdays of the prior month(s) before the month of interview to project the P4 date. For example: for interviews scheduled in November of 2005 the P4 dates are : September 28, 29, 30 and October 3, 4. I hope this method better reflects the Consulate's actual process. I have not changed the projected Interview date only the projected P4 date. The adjusted P4 date should better reflect "actual" P4 dates. A word of caution, if a member is close to the end/beginning of the monthly cycle, then the Prediction can be off by approximately one month !!! Only interviews schedule after September have the adjusted information. And unlike the Consulate, I have projected the Interview date based on earlier P3 date = earlier Interview date. I realize the Consulate fills up the monthly interview dates using a different method, but since I do not have access to this, I will use the "first in", "first out" method. I must update members on the table with new information and add members who are not on the table but now have P3 data. I know there are many more members who should be included on the Prediction Table, so please PM me if you have new information on your case.
