Nothing here yet...and in about 18 days it will be 5 months for me. And I do believe i will be sending a e-service request as soon as its 5 months! Unless I hear something before...

Do you remember how many cases were completed in September? Thanks!


I believe it was around that same number...not 100% positive though. It wasnt many. Atlanta is not moving fast AT ALL!

Well more bad news Atlanta transfers. The USCIS processing volumes and trends charts came out today. And, as I knew and expected, went from the 3600 last month to 4460. So a lot more of course and then the reciepts are 1,217 and completions is only at 528. Sigh...Atlanta is going so slow :angry:

:blink:


So I just called and spoke to an ISO who said my case was transferred to Atlanta and its still in line for its turn she said CSC is still working on June 22 which would have me waiting another 79 days for my NOA1s turn to come up. So basically the info wasnt that helpful but maybe the phone call itself will help. Idk just hopeing it will.....

Well starting to see some July filers from the CSC are getting approvals...and seen some November filers getting approvals and of course the same with September and October filers. When is it our turn!??!?! :wacko:

Me too. I have no idea how to get a tier 2 on the phone. I can't wait to hear that one of us Atlanta cases has been approved so then I can truly believe they are actually processing cases there...haha. I just wish we knew how many cases have been processed there recently. The website still has Sept. data on it.



Hopefully someone can stumble upon this thread and help us out haha :help:

I wish. 90 days of waiting for me now. Have any of you Atlanta transferers tried calling USCIS and talking to a tier 2 officer yet? I have read on other threads that many others have done this recently and gotten updates on their cases such as when case was assigned to an officer. I haven't called yet but having been thinking about it. Anyone had any luck with calling?


Ive seen this also...and Ive considered calling but I dont know how I would do it! I'd probably fail and end up with a tier 1! Ughhhhhh I just wanna hear some good news!

Anyone with any news yet? Day 112 since NOA1...seeing some approvals from other places but nothing from any Atlanta tranfers. :(

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAtlanta Transferrers
Damn...900 more I-130s and since August only they've complete close to 400? Clearly Atlanta is super slow and have a lot of other things to worry about besides I-130s :angry:
abezyoMaleJordan2012-11-24 22:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAtlanta Transferrers

Oh the reason it is blank is because it says volume chart if you change it to trend chart it shows it. And I know the Atlanta approval your talking about I asked her about it and she was reaffirmed I dont remember the full story but her husband had an interview and it was reaffirmed and sent to Atlanta.


Ohhh okay okay...well that explains the quick approval. Well the volume chart had for august 13 until recently. I know the trend chart shows but thats why I think they are updating cause the volume chart is blank. But we shall see!
abezyoMaleJordan2012-11-16 18:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAtlanta Transferrers

I know about that link but when I check it still says August, how do you know they are updating?


Well for me it is blank...it use to have August up for me. So I assumed like the other poster in here said. But I could be totally wrong. Hopefully someone from Atlanta hears something soon! Id be a lot more relieved! I know one was approved in like what 30 days? I cant find it but she was in Atlanta. I dont know though just seen that one from atlanta and thats it! Its killing me! I want my wife here already! haha

I think so too.. But looks like they are approving/adjudicating cases randomly. Through the case status site I've checked statuses w/ case numbers ahead of mine some were already approved as of Nov 8-13,2012 and there were like 3-4 cases after my receipt# were also approved as of Nov14,2012.. These cases that I've checked were filed on the same week as I filed..Though most of the cases were also like mine under 'Initial Review'..


I looked at cases ahead of mine and most of them except a few only 2 were under Post-decision activity...then before my number only 1 of them were the same Initial review and the rest were card productions for already approved meaning they were getting green cards and then some of them were acceptance saying they were denied and sent their forms back. So im not real sure if id follow by case number as I dont know how they assign one to people.

But also I think we should take into account that the USCIS said that I-130s would be transferred to the NBC and then from there to Local offices. What I think, and I hope im right, is that they are approving them at local offices, send you by mail or text its been approved, send the NOA2s back to the NBC, and then send the NOA2s from there. Back who knows what happens! Sometimes Im excited I sent it at the right time for such a quick approval...but then again sometimes I wish I was at a service center and wait the 5 months cause I know when to expect the NOA2 lol
abezyoMaleJordan2012-11-15 22:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAtlanta Transferrers
It probably means that the local office sends it back to the NBC...and the NBC sends out the NOA2 hardcopys. Way too many approvals recently for all of them to still be at the NBC...even some October filers are getting approved.

Where does it show that they are updating the stats?


http://dashboard.usc...=27&charttype=2

Check that link out. For the past month its had August and before but seems they are updating. And I dont think I'm at the nbc cause I goy texts that said I was tranferred to a uscis office and being processed which was my last touch.

Woops I posted that like 2 hours go via cell...and it just posted now. I feel stupid lol

The office definitely has one of the largest case loads in the US. I have been checking all day to see if the September case load stats are on the USCIS website. Looks like they are currently changing them so hopefully we can view them soon. Maybe the Sept. results will bring us some extra hope of quick NOA2 arrivals.


You're right! I just checked on the National Processing Volumes and Trends and seems they are updating from August! I checked yesterday and August 13 volumes were up! This would be awesome so we can get a general idea of whats happening there! Nothing would be better than being thankful for an approve on thanksgiving!

Just called the NVC to see if my file was up there yet...not yet. Said within 15 business days from the approval receipt date. Going to try again late next week and the 29th. :thumbs:
abezyoMaleJordan2013-04-18 12:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

I would recommend not to call USCIS tier 2 until it has been 30 days, because they will not do anything. They will simply ask you call back after it has been 30 days.

That's what I did. I had called to call and speak to tier 2 again when 30 days timeframe was met.


So dont even call them to ask if my approval has been sent out until 30 days? :blink:
abezyoMaleJordan2013-04-16 11:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

Oh, that's right, you were approved from a local office. Before even bothering with calling NVC, you need to be calling USCIS every day to inquire on when they sent the case out. Only once you've heard from 5 (at the minimum) people at USCIS that your case has indeed been sent out should you call NVC.


Okay so call everyday and speak with a tier 2? Or will a tier 1 be able to tell me when/if it was sent out?
abezyoMaleJordan2013-04-16 10:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

A few weeks after NOA2 but it's taking them about a month from NOA2 to give out case numbers. Sometimes longer depending on how often the local offices ship out petitions.


I honestly dont think I will get a case number till a month after my NOA2...but I do want to make sure that Atlanta sent my file to the NVC and its just waiting for a case number.


Start calling about 3 times a week, for 2 weeks. Then bump it up to once a day until you get the case number.


Will do! Gonna call today and see if its there yet.


It has been has been almost 35 days(5 weeks) since NoA2 and still no case number. So, I do not know why it is taking so longer.

I have called them over fifty times, and I have not lost hopes for humanity. :-)


Im sorry to hear about this :( Keep calling and hopefully you get that case number! :)

abezyoMaleJordan2013-04-16 09:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

IMO, 30 days from the NOA-2, if yer USCIS receipt # starts with 'MSC'.


My receipt number starts with WAC but was an Atlanta transfer. I just got the hardcopy NOA2 today. I will start monday and see if they atleast received it yet :)
abezyoMaleJordan2013-04-11 21:54:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013
Also one more question,

Ive never filed taxes as I have no income. Do I need a letter that says I have no income? Or what do I need to do? Because I believe it says I need my tax transcripts as well. Or am I wrong?
abezyoMaleJordan2013-04-09 11:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

Since the interview will likely take place after the 15th, he can submit this past year's tax return (if he doesn't have transcripts) and the past two years' transcripts (if needed). Last year's (2012) will most likely be needed since the deadline is only a few days away.


Okay thanks because hes got an extension on it so hes going to be doing them tomorrow and finish it all up. So I will use this years and the last 2 years. :thumbs:

I have a question,

Im just getting stuff ready for when I get to the NVC. My father is going to be my co-sponser since I have no income. Does he need this year tax returns and 2 years before or will last years and 2 years before do? Because I know the deadline is April 15 and hes going to use his business taxes as the income as he is the owner, founder, etc. I didnt wanna start another thread so hopefully somebody can help me out here :D

I think you are the first Atlanta Field Office approval since the workload transfer are you not?

If they have a valid United States passport...then they do not need anything as they are a United States citizen. Just simply get on a plane and come on over!
