Well I understand not having priority..they didn't tell ya to hop in bed...(just using what they would use lol)

But like I said..i don't know facts...there really ARE NO FACTS lol...but from whats happening, and what I am reading on here, when the 129f is filed after the 130..the 130 is pulled out of place in line and put in the place in line with the 129f.  Im hoping its not also...and everything I can possibly cross is crossed...I think by now my unborn child even has his fingers crossed! hahaha

Good luck to you also :)

Jesus christ i meant to say transfer .. sorry folks i have been doing that too many times now.. 

 

it will take us all 6 months to transfer ( no matter how they transfer, i HIGHLY doubt that they will not transfer y'all by the time you hit your 6 month mark).

Based on what ive seen for every filer since July, and if you look at trends from early august, they are transferring at between 1-10 days before your 6 month mark.

Check it out if you dont believe me.

 

~~~~~~~

 

After that, if youre not indian/mena/other high risk, approvals should be in 15-20 days at the CSC.

 

The rest wait 2 months - although Texas is doing better than Nebraska. 

 

UGH...DR is SUCH  a high risk country....strike two lmfao

 

~~~~~~~

 

That brings us upto 8 months TO the NVC + 2 months AT the NVC (assuming y'all have everything else ready to be fired off to the nVC) = 10 months to USCON/USEM

 

 

Plus 2 months till the date your IR1/CR1 is stamped and you're ready to jet out. 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~

So, thanks to Barry Obama, 

12 months overall and 14 months worst case.

friggin Barry! rofl.gif

Check out this website and chill out star_smile.gif :

 

 

Good luck! Fingers crossed!

  Important Notice:

When both petitions have been approved by USCIS and sent to the NVC or when USCIS approves the I-130 before the I-129F, the availability of, as well as the need for, a nonimmigrant K-3 visa ends. If the NVC receives both an approved I-130 petition and an approved I-129F petition:

  • The nonimmigrant K-3 visa case will be administratively closed.
  • The application process explained below will not be available to the foreign-citizen spouse and cannot be used.
  • The NVC will contact the U.S. citizen sponsor and foreign-citizen spouse, with instructions for processing the IR-1 (or CR-1) immigrant visa.

 

 

 

Oh sweety thank you..but Ive read this page about a thousand times lol

its not the exact process we're talking about.  We're talking about the fact that my priority date for my 130 is 8/2. with a 160 number...which they've already way way way bypassed as you see theyre on 163 ( yes I see you were also skipped.)

However, my 129f has a pd of 8/21 and  a 173 number.  My thought is that I wont get a transfer until they get to THAT number because the two petitions when filed are merged together.  I don't know if ive explained it well enough, but I hope you understand now lol dancin5hr.gif


Someone from August 6 PD just got approved after 7 days of being transferred at CSC.

 

holy schmoly!!!  GO AUGUST APROVADOS! dancin5hr.gif

I am more worry than you coz your both date is so close to each other.
My 129f date is way behind in November,2013.
:(
 
 
i kknow. But remember its just my opinion. We have no facts to this process. Dont stress too much or youll start going crazy like me!!!

I am speechless and looking everyone post.
My 130 Pd is August 12th but
129f Pd is November 14n.
What they will do with my case????


 

 

God only knows honey....I am truly thinking that the case is, that our 130 pd gets tossed aside and burnt when the 129f goes in and that we're forced to go by the PD for the 129f.  But that's definitely not a fact.  Since I've definitely been skipped, because my number is 160, and my pd is 8/2, that's just my opinion.

Just to let you know that our case seemed to jump into the transfer line based on our I-129F, as we were July filers (PD July 24) for the I-130, and our I-129F was Aug 2nd.... our transfer happened today, along with other filers in August it appears. 
 
I'm not certain if this means you'll wait until later in August for a transfer based on your I-129F, or not... good luck!



Nothings certain with these people. But thanks so much because that definitely calms my nerves quite a bit! Hopefully youtr approval comes quickly as well

Hi guys !!
 
ok I received a text today,
 
On January 28, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.
 
anxious now !!! 






What does that mean?

Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-28 19:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 

i am seriously thinking of pulling the plug off my i-129f

 

I don't know...I have a feeling that might delay it even longer too.  This late in the game im gonna leave it alone.

 

Yeah, we're kinda in the same boat. PD Aug 6 and I-129f also.

No news yet for us though.

my pd is 8/2 for my 130...but 8/21 for my 129f....im just hoping they don't wait til my 129f number cuz that's waaaay outta the way.

 

 

No No

You may be getting transferred ( I know about the case # not being in their system).

 

There is unfortunately no datarecord on this site of petitioners delayed because of the 129F.

I have seen two filers one from June and another from July whose i-130 had been held till the processing order went to the i-129F. 

 

 

Possibly....I remain with hope.  But ..very little lol

dont worry lisa....mine was saying same thing but it change today when my case got transferred....


Oh thats awesome. I am really glad to know it at least changes when the transfer is made. I was thinking that i wouldn't know until i got the hardcopy although i dont think im gonna transfer until they reach my k3 number :( which is up in the 7's. Thanks so much! And congrats.
Aditya, has anyone transferred yet that also has a 129f out there on top of the 130 like me?

Did you manage to speak to a tier 2 yet on your case?


Yes. I posted it the other day..she just gave me the same BS ...just said they have my cases..they ALL wont transfer because some will process there. And is supposedly sending me out an expedite form.
In the meantime, my husband thinks he will get fired because someone must have told someone that he was married to a USC and he was questioned today. Men have been fired from his job last year for the same reason. Nothing is going good. This is going to ruin us both. Really sucks that I have to practically regret my damn marriage! Way to go USA!

Hello to All !!
 
 
so we got transferred January 22 and today we got the hard copy, and the case is processing by 
California Service Center
 
PD 08/01/2013
 
Let's hope  this journey will end soon !!

You make a good point, however i wonder why the "average times" posted actually went UP rather than down?

 

I would love to be optimistic, and i would be if there was some sort of process we could follow.... trouble is you are either in the group that is lucky, or you wait 9 + months.

 

 

However, correct me if i am wrong, there are not to many over then 9 months still to go now?


I see you can't comment on this now!

Sorry I assumed you had a written expedite request ready.
 
Here are the instructions.
http://www.visajourn...edite-question/
 
 Do you have an attorney for the case ?






No. We only paid an attorney a very small amount to help us with the paper work. Just told us abd gave us what to send and made sure everything was correct etc.

Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-25 08:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 
I would STRONGLY go with the expedite. 
 
They will take both petitions out and approve both and close the i-129f and you're off to the NVC. 
 
Do you have the request ready ? 
 
Turnaround is less than two weeks - as opposed to waiting to the end of the month to get the i-129 f approved.







I don't even know what having it ready consists of.

Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-25 05:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 
I disagree.
 
I noticed several -130 receipt numbers that are from 8/1 and 8/2 that are not done yet (including a few from July 30-July 31st).
I think the next batch will cover these AND everything to 8/6.
 
The one after that will hit 8/9.
 
It will take two turns to get to 8/9.
 
Then another to get to 8/12.










So what do you suggest if I get a transfer before the paperwork for the expedite request? Should I leave it alone. Or continue with the exp req? Hmmm.

 
yes.
that is the "unintended consequence" of submitting the two instead of one. 
 
less than 3% of i-129fs get approved.
VJers often advise people not to file the i-129f because of this unintended "marrying" of the two petitions. 





Well that actually makes me feel BETTER instead of worse. At least I can assume I wasn't just left in the dark.


Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-25 00:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

You make me nervous now,

My 130 PD 8/21 and my 129f PD is 10/14..

 

Im sorry. I didn't mean to scare anyone :(   I just wanted to justify my own fear I suppose.  I just keep praying.

 

I never thought of that either... I'm watching your case closely as we're also in a holding pattern and I can only suspect the I-129F has something to do with that.

I see we have very similar dates.  We'll see if you transfer before me around next week...because if you do...then I wont even expect mine for another month! ufffff


Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-24 22:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

So guys...I have an assumption.  Correct me only if I am wrong for a fact.  Otherwise, I know its just for me to assume and never find out regardless lol

 

So I have the 130 out with a PD of 8/2.  HOWEVER....I also have the 129f out with a PD of 8/21.  So do you think Im not being transferred because they will go by the last, most recent PD that is associated with my case, being 8/21??  aaaaaand GO!

does anyone have "Case not found" when you put your MSC number


My MSC says that for my 130. It was never entered into the system. I hate it. But they say it means nothing. My question is, if it hasnt been entered and I tell you this, why cant ya just enter it!? But my 129f is there. Makes no sense. But what does around them?

I'm trying to stay away form the uscis website, yesterday I've checked our status like 4-5 times!
Let's hope if or a good day of transfers for all of us august filers!!!!

Hi! I have followed your case in complete disbelief, both of your situation and of how strong/brave you are! Anyway there was a couple that was recently approved on an expedited petition. You may want to contact them. You can find them on page 88 of the June thread, name Ja&Ka

So...just talked to tier 2. They gave me ####### for info. Said they have my cases. That the 129f & 130 would prob run together. And all this is due to the back log. And when I spoke of everyone else transferring they told me that meant nothing because not all will be transferred. That a lot of 130s will continue to be filed at nbc. They did however let me try for an expedite since my pregnancy is high risk. Any advice on how to go about this expedite in a better fashion??

1) Call 1 800-375-5283 and tell tier 1 that you want to talk with tier 2. Than don't hold phone for 300 mins lol..  Enter your number and name. They will 101% call you back within 2 hours. Make a service request for k3 first and give your email and get conformation number. ( explain them everything )

 After 3 hours call back again and make request for I-130.   

 

3) https://infopass.uscis.gov/

 

AHHH ok...and lol...yes..didn't exactly work out holding for even an hour lol

May I ask why you suggest the request for the k3 first?  just curious


Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-22 18:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

1) Make a service request for I-130 and  k3 both separately.

2) call congressman and senator ( not email). tell them to call USCIS.  

3) make a info pass  appointment.

4) email USCIS..

 

May be doing all this it will help you. Someone will touch your case soon.

How do I do 1 and 3? lol
