IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2012 I-130 Filers?

I click on so many things, I look and check, and check to look again.
I am addicted to my computer. I see things, and see nothing.
Another day went by. Until another day arises.

same here... the only way i could stop checking this forum is to get out from the house... hoping again for good news tomorrow...

hello. i'm quiet confused here about my PD.

In my online case status this is what is shown, "On June 26, 2012, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE," so my question is, is June 26 my PD? my case was last updated on JUne 29... and i thought june 29 is my PD.

i think i'm going nuts. :wacko:

Hi,
Thanks! My PD is JUNE 12, so today we have 8 months period of waiting !!!! I did not expect that! :))
Ok, and that message I saw, made me more worried then I was... because I found several cases in the forum that got approved in one month after such message and two other cases that got approved the second day... so, it better be today then in a month...
but at least I know that they have my case and they looked at it yesterday :D

mine is June 29... still far... close to 8 months already...

Hey !

I just checked my case status and found that something has changed, but not sure what :)

''On February 11, 2013, 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.''

Is this a good thing? Can I expect to be approved soon?

congrats! what's your PD?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2012 I-130 Filers?

Answer to this simple question is NO!, you don't have to change your surname as it will only complicate your filing papers and even may delay the process at this point. I know many...many people DON'T.

thank you! now i don't have to worry.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2012 I-130 Filers?
dear friends... i just really wanted to ask this question here since I noticed that many people are active on this thread. So my question is, my current passport was obtained last 2011 and at that time I was not yet married so the name that appears is my maiden name... or single name... so is it necessary to change my surname and use my husband's family name? change my passport? i am worried coz getting a new passport will take 35 working days and i visited DFA.. passports will be available on APril which possibly is too late since we are expecting for the petition approval by the end of this month or march. my PD is June 29. my husband's lawyer didn't advice him about this but probably because my husband didn't ask him yet. he said it's not necessary to change my passport but i just want to make sure he is right.

hope someone can help me with this question? i would appreciate your reply. thanks.

lemajeca, the previous marriage will not affect the petition at all (trust me I had two of those and just got approved today). What could slow it down is that he previously applied for a visa and they will have to check to see what happened with that.

thank you for your reply. what you've said helps a lot. my husband said he just applied for the petition but didn't continue the process. besides it was more than two years ago.

many things are going into my mind. i think i just have to relax and trust our lawyer. can't wait to see any june 20th and beyond, filers to get approved. my husband is going through some health problems and it makes me feel sad that i'm here can't do anything personal to take care of him. I think i'll leave it all to the Almighty.

thank you guys for all your replies.

Well, I'm not a lawyer but I think any petition filed is inactive with more than a year, USCIS will consider abandon and case will be terminated. I don't foresee any issues that would delay your process of getting approve, but be prepare for many questions in the interview with consular.

thank you for the reply. my husband already told me about the reasons and been honest with me about his past but i'll ask him again. he's actually planning to go with me during the interview but i don't know if it's allowed if not required by the embassy.

hello everyone!

just a question. do you think it will slow down the process if my husband has a previous marriage and that was 7 years ago? will it affect the approval of the petition? he has also 3 kids that are dependent to him but the two live with their mom and the other is with him. also, i find out that he previously applied for a fiance visa before for his x but that was 2 years ago.

i understand our situation is kinda complicated. but i want to think positive. this long wait is really tough.

Don't forget they also updated their processing time too. It was 6.2, and now raising to 7 months for VSC and 6.8 for CSC.

Anyone with PD within 2 weeks of June 4 you're probably in luck, for those filed at later date, be prepare for a long haul. :angry: And :no: it's NOT A JOKE.

oh no. i hope all june petitions will be approved this month. mine is june 29. the long wait is stressing. i think i'll pray for a miracle. :'(

Funny thing was I told my husband to call them starting march 6, until I decided to try out the google voice. He never did call them. Sometimes I wonder about him... Posted Image

my husband is kinda like that... he would just tell me, let our lawyer or para legal handle it... he would even refuse to get his tax return transcripts in advance... his reason is that our lawyer hasnt told him yet the requirements... and too bad our lawyer said she will just send the list of requirements once we have a case number... darn... :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: so i have no choice but to wait... expecting for another 10-15 days delay for getting his requirements.. I'm just hoping getting the tax transcripts wont take more than 3 days. :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:
