About QueueCheck data
QueueCheck separates official agency updates from waits shared by readers. The goal is to help people compare the right kind of number without treating any public estimate as a personal guarantee.
Reported
Shared by readers
Reader waits come from submitted dates that are reviewed before they affect public summaries. Small samples are shown cautiously.
Estimated
Derived carefully
Estimated values use same-month groups or historical context only when the page can explain the limits clearly.
Why numbers can differ
A government processing standard, a live availability table, a monthly statistics release, and a wait shared by a reader can answer different questions. QueueCheck labels those numbers separately so a reader does not compare a broad official estimate with one person's case as if they were the same thing.
Reader submissions
Submissions are grouped by service and the month people started where possible. Public summaries avoid overconfidence: if there are not enough reviewed submissions for a group, the page says it is still collecting dates rather than inventing precision.
Correction and review
QueueCheck keeps notes for official updates, public submissions, and editorial pages. If a public source changes or a number cannot be checked, pages should say so plainly and keep the latest verified information visible.
