Each row is a case, sorted by filing date.

Grey is filing to fingerprints (a light notch marks the call), blue is fingerprints to decision, green is the card being made, and the ring is the day the card was picked up. People who filed in person gave fingerprints the same day, so they have no grey part.

A diamond on the bar marks a contact: hollow for something you did (documents brought, ponaglenie, questions), filled for something the office did (document requests, answers, case number). Hover for details.

A dotted line and a hollow square mark a date known ahead of time (fingerprint appointment, expected decision, card pickup slot); faded if that date has passed without confirmation.

A pale green bar ending in a dashed ring means the card was most likely collected: over 3 months have passed since the decision (nearly all cards come sooner), but nobody posted the date; the ring sits where the card is usually ready.

The green dashed line is 27.04.2026: from that day every application goes through MOS 2.
