IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

They were supposed to hire more people since april 2013 to staff Division 8 at Overland Park, that was supposed to be operational at the end of Sep 2013. That didn't happen.. and it isnt likely to happen.. 
 
Im leaving in a week and a half to visit my husband in the US for 12 days. I will probably come back and still be waiting to see a transfer!!


Oh I so envy you. If I could go like once every two months or so this wouldn't be so difficult!

My lawyer seems to flat out hate the i129f/K3 route, says its no available anymore..... anyway, as long as I get my visa by the end of September I will be happy.... IF


See...and my lawyer suggested it. Lol...I need an interview in early march to get back before birth. Highly doubtful

 
I already did contacted my senators office last night begging lol. I contacted my congressman in october just to clarifiy something about my case that worried me. I had a representative reply to me and said i should be approved before april she said that if im not shes gonna help me out so my pd date is august 29 im at one month and a little over a week i would start contacting them when it hits 7 months for the rest of you who have priority dates a few weeks before me. I-129f for a k-3 visas is meant to unite families faster while waiting for the i-130 i did mine as soon as i got my firts letter about the i-130 do i think it will work maybe slight chance. It doesnt hurt to try but if your i-130 has been pending over 3 months whats the point.


And now that youve reminded me....my congress woman never even responded.

Your too far in the game my pd date is august 29th i filed my k-3 sept 11 and let me tell you I dont know about a k-3. I dont. On one hand my congressman did a inquiry and they told them that my two cases will ne ajunicated together around march she than told me if my case doesnt move by the begging of april shes gonna help me out. Than I call uscis and  they tell me my k-3 will be approved in 60 days which is roughly april and in thirty days from now I should call and do an inquiry because by than it should be out of normal processing time. Will I try yes I will because I try everything am I putting all my eggs in that basket no. GOOD MORNING VJ ANY TRANSFERS ANY AT ALL ANYONE :( MISSING NOLI LIKE CRAZY


I think shes right. It might just delay your 130 at this point. I filed my 130...found out i was pregnant and boom..filed my 129f. Same month. Dont mess up your 130.

What ?
 
They're approving K-3s ??
 
Maybe I should call my linda and have her file it. 





I only know of the one for a fact sweetie. But like i said. Anything to me is worth a shot even if its in the dark. And the stats for k3 say 5 months. NOT that it means a darn thing what their website says.

Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-10 09:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 
Are you referring to the K3 ? 
 
They don't do i-129F/K3 anymore - even if you file it.
It has to go through the i-130 process.  *sigh*




Yes. I have filed both. I was told to file it and have heard both ways. They do and they dont. So it was worth a shot. Anything is/ was worth a shot. Then a friend of ours got approved for his k3 in october. I was shocked but it happened. So I still remain hopeful if it was going to be quicker. If it was quicker id be willing to pay the extra. Didn't care. As long as I didnt give birth alone. Funny thing is how no one ever even entered my 130 into the system so I cant even check the status. And my 129f was entered immediately. Crazy how things work there!

The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS. A Consular Officer can extend the validity of the petition if it expires before visa processing is completed.

Just read this. Im sure its just typical information. But technically this means my 129f is already expired lol...such faith I have in this system

How does that even work out. Not doubting..just inquiring. Mine is 1391609xxx...im august.

quote name="Deep35472" post="6744859" timestamp="1389322333"]
I have some cases from MSC1391550XXX to MSC1391670XXX.
Go on USCIS case status website and try to put any 10 digit MSC numbers.


You will see result.
It ll takes a time to find out I-30 fillers.
But as I mentioned last post,, check that numbers on USCIS website.[/quote]

That is what they wrote husband needs to come to us ASAP pathetic

what reason are you attempting an expedite? If i may ask.
at least they said something. I asked for one because i keep getting threatened to be put on bedrest and i need him to come and work and support us while im on bedrest. Ill have nothing. And they dont even listen to my request except to tell me its almost impossible. Oh well thanks...cuz thats NOT WHAT I ASKED! LOL

I just spoke to tier two I REALLY AM ANNOYED. So i have a pending k-3 as well and the lady was like your k-3 will be approved in 60 days?? Which would be fine if i actual believed it? Anyway with that said she was unhelpful why do they have these people answering phone calls do they get payed to give us uninformative answers that mean nothing!


Thats why yesterday when everyone was telling me I should keep calling uscis I was like OHHHHH NO HONEY! Been there. Done that. Wont watch THAT movie again! And no..the whole preggers thing is NOT FUN. Just heightens your emotions! So double the aggravation! Grrrr

I have a pending k3 too and I really think they just get the I129f form and wait for the I130 aproval. they onley process few I129f forms. I have one peruvian friend who got the K3 just like one month ago and when she had the interview the consuler in the embassy didnt know nothing about the k3, she told to her that it is a lot time ago they didnt have an interview for a K3 visa.


My husband has had 2 friends and one cousin IN DR..as high fraud as they are...get approved in under 6 months. Finished! I should've waited til October. Seems everything before June and after Sept started flying!

~~Multiple post removed so I could edit out the personal information, the quotes restored below minus the quoted part with personal information.~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks ...i couldnt do it after he said it.   The original "copy and paste" I had removed the numbers...and it excluded half my message and when I did it again I guess the numbers were there again and i didnt realize it.

 

Aha, just found your other thread where you described what you're going through! I have no idea why Santo Domingo would tell you to call NVC, they won't know anything about your case at this point. Perhaps they meant NBC, which is where your petition should be located. Whoever at the call center told you your petition is out of USCIS' hands was flat out wrong. I know you don't want to deal with USCIS again, but they really are the ones who have your petition right now, and those awful tier 1 & 2 folks are the ones who can "help" you at this point. Neither the beneficiary's embassy nor the National Visa Center has any information on your petitions just yet. You could consider involving a senator/congressman to investigate on your behalf, but even if it takes a few calls and some frustration, you'll get the petitions' location confirmed faster if you get them back on the phone yourself.

Because they know I have no one else to call....How many times should I call the uscis and get the exact same information as the first 4 phone calls?Believe me....i KNOW theyre wrong.  And im definitely not looking past that.  But If I contact the nVc...and they say they DONT have it...maybe the uscis will be forced to give me a different answer?  Possibility.  The only one I have. So calling the uscis over and over again isn't my answer.  Its like beating a dead cow at this point.  I have however emailed my congress woman weeks ago with no response yet. 


Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-07 13:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

Did you know you were at NVC? Are you petitioning for an i130?.

I would send the details first, ASAP, then call and question! What's your exact PD date again? And what enquiries did you make?

No Eastyo....i dont know where the heck i am lmao..im in limbo.  pd was 8/2.  I just told them the same as I told you guys. basically that the uscis said "oh...your info has been out of our hands since you got your noa1 and we no longer have it"   yea cuz that makes sooooo much sense since i have no noa2!  ugh

 

Because you sent a request to the NVC? Have you gotten your approval from the Us is yet? If not, then the nvc isn't going to be able to help you yet.


If you have, they may not have received it yet, or it may not be in their system yet.


I sent the inquiry to NVC because tier 1 and 2 and the misinformation uscis line insist that is where my stuff is and they say they can't help me.  So obviously I need to go to the next level.  There's no where else to go...until someone somewhere finds my paperwork..im going to ask anyone and everyone I can possibly ask.


Lisa y MiguelFemaleDominican Republic2014-01-07 13:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 

We need a little more information. Where are you in the process, and what are you trying to do?

 

You're asking NVC for information about your USCIS case number, which shouldn't be happening. If you have received an NOA2, you'll have a case number from NVC, and that's what you need to make inquires with them.

 

If you have NOT received your NOA2, you need to use that MSC- number to contact USCIS instead. 

 

Also recommend you remove your personal info from your post... 

 

sorry...most on here know what I was doing.  I was inquiring with the nvc because the big balls of misinformation at uscis said they no longer have my petition....I emailed santo domingo (because theyre soooo much nicer) and they said to email nvc...so that's what i did.  Explaining what uscis said.  And this is what i received in return.  Yes I have a i130 and an i129f...

 

oh.....and i have already talked to uscis NUMEROUS TIMES....wont be doing that again ANY TIME soon if i dont have to.  theyre ridiculous

Gracias!!!   So random though.  That part makes me angry.  No order for anything.  IMO there should be an office in every state ONLY handling petitions that come out of that state.  In that case they would only need  a small office ran by a handful of people....if even.  Things would go so much more efficiently and they would save save save MONEY!!  A handful of employess in each state compared to the crazy manpower (that does nothing) at all these call centers, tier 1, tier 2..etc etc.  Save some darn tax dollars. Not that Im trying to put people out of jobs actually...but just looking for any kind of effieceincy and we dont get any.  Like we're just circus animals that don't matter.

Are you 8/2 or 8/22 ?

 

You are on there and marked as 8/2.

 

You're our "canary in the coal mine" at the moment - being the first one for August. smile.png

 

hahaha..no pressure there huh??  lol

Yes...my noa1 for my 130 is 8/2/13

My noa1 for my i129f is ...i might be off without looking..8/27/13....or 29?  right around there. 

However....dont forget...Im waiting for a petition for dominican republic...i SWEAR they take longer than any other! lolranting33va.gif

But I know enough to see that this is a big unfairness.  And i dont remember who said it...i think it was Eastyo...the second person i talked to WAS a tier 2...sad :(

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

It took two weeks and what would be a good idea is sending them a hard copy of your email. A copy of your I-130 and a copy of your id that's what they are gonna ask for they'll do a inquiry for you which is useless but if you don't have a valid reason to speed it up all they'll do is a inquiry which will give u a stagnant answer. I feel what your going through I went in August and these trips are to darn expensive I miss him but I worry so much about our well being when he comes so going isn't a option saving for his arrival is what I'm doing but it stinks I miss my husband so much my worry is how long will it take after he is approved .


Ok..so hopefully I will hear something soon. I will fax that stuff over if they request it. Or if I don't hear something this week. That's exactly what im doing. Im trying to pay all my bills to "0"...which is near impossible it seems. Plus have that cushion of $4-500 to jump on a plane as soon as its time for our interview. I hate that we have to be present. Why can't they just interview him there and me here...and collaborate! Or talk to me on the darn phone! :(

No I haven't. That's why it angers me so much everytime I call and they tell me "it's out of the hands of USCIS as soon as you get your NOA1." TWO different people told me this. Do they get a script with dumb answers on it that dont make sense? Ugh

Yeaaa thats not good at all, i know as yesterday they were transferring july 15th because my cousin sent her i130 july 15th and yesterday i checked online and it said that her case is being transfer so if they keep this pace we won't be able to wait longer than few weeks. i really hope they do and get everyone together with their family and the love ones lol because it reaalllllly really sucks not being together... :P 

I havent seen him since Oct. And now i have no idea when I will. I cant afford to go twice within a close proximity. So going now or febrero isnt an option. Like, say I bought a flight now for Feb, and they send my cita for march. Id be outta luck without the money to buy another ticket. Plus, putting money away (or lack of) for maternity leave cuz I can't work after hes born. And obviously I wont have him here for monetary support. And the salaries in DR arent exactly sufficient for two households. Pffft..barely one!

I am august 29 my congressman said I should get approved before April I did so many inquiries tried so much to fish around I am at the very end hopefully things continue this was I will be so happy to see some approvals by the end of feb for us


If I may ask, how long did it take your congressman to respond to you? I emailed her a week or two ago. Hoping now that the holidays are over I hear from her.

You can call the senators office whenever you want. Tell them you have a pending I-130 and you want them to do an inquiry.  They will send you a release form to sign and scan or fax back. As soon as they get that from you , they will do an inquiry.  No, you don't have to be out of the processing times to inquire.    August filers have only been waiting for 4 months.  you'll probably get the usual response they send to everyone..." current processing times are 6 months from the date of this notice"  but at least they know your asking  LOL


I wrote my congress woman about a week ago. No response yet as expected. I just explained to her from beginning to now. And told her how uscis says my case is not there anymore. Santo Domingo says my case is not there yet. And nvc has yet to respond to me at all. Did my case grow legs and runaway?? So hopefully I get some kind of response soon. Because the right hand doesnt know what the left is doing.

Hello all august filers.......I actually filed around the last week of July but my lst noa says my receipt date is August 9th.  I am fairly new to VJ and was happy to find this thread. I like having a group of members with a common timeline to follow along with so I can try to judge my own wait time.  I wish everyone a speedy process to getting their love ones approved.

Only thing I can think is that the USCIS rep thought you were talking about NOA2 for some reason. Call back and speak to someone else?
 

Nope..i thought that on the phone and specifically she stated that it is the 797-C notice of action.

this is confusing... they are saying your petition hasn't been approved yet but it has been sent to NVC (DOS)?

yes...im so aggravated. And pregnant and aggravated do NOT mix!  The only thing I've ever received was the 797C notice of action for both my petitions!!  And she was acting like i was so dumb and didnt know what i was talking about...explaining to me the order in which things occur.  Telling me as soon as I receive the notice of action, its out of their hands and to DOS! :(

I dont know what to do
