Concern
Can anyone help me understand what Lawfully Ranking means? The number keeps descending and I don't know the interpretations of it

It’s only an analysis. Don’t waste your money on premium and get discouraged as I did when I saw it was moving further away from decision. It showed I was 89th in place when I got approved

It’s not accurate. It doesn’t mean anything. So, don’t not pay attention to it.

my interpretation of that ranking is just your filing date’s place within the people who applied the same month with you. We applied somewhere near the middle of the month, and because new cases being entered into Lawfully come roughly equally from dates earlier and later within the month that we filed, our ranking number keeps getting bigger but always stays at about half the total number filed for that month. if you filed on the first I’m guessing it would always stay at the top, if you filed on the 30th, always near the bottom and getting bigger, as long as new people are entering their cases into Lawfully. None of it means a thing for your processing time.
