Version 2.1 — Reliability & Community
This release focuses on accuracy, performance, and user experience refinements based on real user feedback over the past months.
CRITICAL BUG FIXES
- Fixed case status misclassification when USCIS reported "Fingerprints Were Taken". Previously the app marked biometrics as merely scheduled; users will now correctly see the completed state and accurate next-step guidance.
- Resolved a crash that could occur when filtering the community feed by time range (Today, This Week, This Month). The filter now updates smoothly without interrupting the session.
- Fixed an issue where Visa Bulletin filter could return unexpected results at edge dates near the year boundary, improving accuracy for users with priority dates from early years.
- Patched a race condition in the case state machine that occasionally caused incorrect phase transitions during rapid status updates.
- Corrected priority date current detection for Employment-Based categories with country-specific cut-offs (China, India, Mexico, Philippines).
NEW: COMMUNITY TICKER
- A new live ticker in the Community tab surfaces aggregate community statistics: total members, new members today, members active this week, and current Visa Bulletin updates.
- Stats refresh automatically each day so the community feels alive and current.
- Smart slide rotation: order varies day-by-day so returning users see different highlights every morning.
NEW: APPROVED MILESTONE SHARING
- When your case reaches a milestone — approved, card produced, visa issued, oath scheduled — the app gently prompts you to share with the community, fully anonymous.
- A new "Share milestone" action is available from any case detail screen with eligible status.
- Posts include only your form type and category — no name, no receipt number, no personally identifiable information.
PHOTO POSTS REFINED
- Photos attached to topic posts now display edge-to-edge with Locket-style rounded corners for a modern, premium feel.
- Multiple photos use a smooth paginated carousel with page indicators.
- Comment photos remain compact to keep discussions readable.
PRIORITY DATE NOTIFICATIONS
- Get notified roughly six months before your priority date becomes current so you have time to prepare medical exams, civil documents, and passports.
- Notifications are scoped per Visa Bulletin month and never duplicate.
PRIVACY & SECURITY
- Hardened secret management; all sensitive credentials moved out of the source tree.
- Strengthened anonymization on all community posts.
- Improved certificate pinning checks on USCIS and CEAC requests.
PERFORMANCE
- Reduced app size and faster cold start.
- Bulletin parser now handles partial month names more reliably.
- Background refresh respects daily quotas more strictly.
