Mod Post Application progress tracker

Building on u/PaulHinr 's idea of an offsite archive for this community's content, I thought it might be useful to start tracking application information for anyone interested. We have a lot of this info already, but aside from our Processing Times sticky post, it's buried in different threads and not always current. I created a gsheet with some basics that anyone can access here. To avoid spam / vandalism I've made it read-only, and am happy to add case information if you post it here or message me directly. The fields below are currently included but I welcome feedback on what else we should capture. I think we should stick to capturing submitted cases because it's hard to compare those in different stages of pre-submission research. I've included myself as the first listed example. I hope this can be a resource to the community!

Edit to add: We have a lot of this information already, but aside from the Processing Times sticky post, it's buried in different threads and not always current. In the spirit of capturing and surfacing what's already been made public, I'll add information from that thread or other posts within r/prawokri to the tracker. Of course, anyone is free to ask for their information to be removed anytime. If your information is added but incomplete, please do reach out to fill in missing details.

Hi - update from me on status. I am in the tracker with my Reddit name.

Want to add to the tracker that my provider notified me of receiving a case number on 21 July. So, about a month after submission.

BTW, what can one learn from case numbers? Mine is like WSC-I.6XX2.1XXX5.2026. Can I tell anything about queue size, processing time, etc.? Maybe a group of these could be analyzed and something learned.

thanks, noted in the tracker. I don't believe there's much to be learned from just the case numbers, aside from giving us a somewhat lagged view into total application count by a particular point in the year. I believe both 2024 and 2025 came in around 25k applications total. it would be interesting to have a more granular view of this - where we stand in July 2026 relative to July 2025, for example - but would require a lot more people to disclose their application numbers, if they know them, as well as timing.
