IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - December 2013

my wife I-130 was approved 12/9 from the CSC office, i still didnt hear anything yet, or got anything in the mail.

anybody got approved and didnt hear anything from NVC?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 got approved!

 

The letter also says give them 30 days to reply before inquiring them but my husband will call them today even though it"s been 14 days.Just like you i don't have a confirmation that they recieved my petition nor do i have an NVC case number.

 

 

 

I called the NVC number last night 603-334-0700 , i waited for about 10 mins on the phone, and gave them my USCIS number, the lady told me, my case was rec'vd and in the building on 12/20, in 10 to 20 business days i should get my NVC case number, you should call and find out, because i know i read on the forum, people's case was shipped out but never rec'vd. so just to be safe give them a call.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 got approved!

Yes, the last thing i read on the USCIS is

Post Decision Activity On December 9, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.

My NOA2 says it has been shipped, to NVC in New Hampshire. I had read online somewhere, people were trying to confirm it was actually shipped.

I wanted to know if you had confirmation or something, that it was shipped, besides the NOA2 saying it was.


Kev&MandaMaleGuyana2013-12-30 08:22:00

I just want to know after you get your case number, whats the next step? what do you do next?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTOUCHED

do yourself a favor

if (actually when) you do get approved in the next week or two

DO NOT CANCEL YOUR INFOPASS

your NOA2 will state it has been mailed to NVC

 

many members here are experiencing a long wait until it gets to the NVC.... why.. because the local offices are sitting on them and batching them out.. some have taken almost three months, mine took seven weeks

 

I only found out that it was at the local office with an infopass

it was ONLY with this confirmation that I was able to place a service request before 90 days with uscis

it was due to the fact that I confirmed the location that I could be as relentless with people as I was, instead of having to sit back and wonder if it was lost or where is it

 

good luck

would love to keep hearing of your progress!

 

Thank You.. I will keep my info pass appointment

Ah ok thanks - and how do you know when that happens?!

 

 

Well I called and spoke with a tier 2 CS rep and he was actually helpful and nice. Most of the time they don't give you this information. I suggest you give it a try, ask them when your case was transferred, ask if it has been assigned and if they have already clocked in on your case. 


JoseOr NJessicaFemaleDominican Republic2013-06-07 14:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTOUCHED

Sorry, but what do you mean when you say "touched"?

 

It's okay, I know it sounds  little weird. I means that my case is actually in someones hands and being worked on.

It is impossible to guess what is on the adjudicator's desk or what their workload is

they supposedly take about 30 minutes to review a file

you should be hearing any day now, if you are really interested in the exact status of your petition, take an infopass

 

Thank you so much for answering yes.gif .... I have been on 2 info pass appointments but i have just scheduled my 3rd for the 21st. But i am praying you are right  and I here some good news by then.

My NOA1 date is 12/05/2012 MSC receipt number. My case was transferred to the local field office on 01/30/2013. It was assigned to  a case worker on 05/06/2013.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTier 2 CS Rep. Giving a date to when you will here Something

I finally got approved !!!! It took 6 month 13 days of waiting 2 info pass and still going to me 3rd one on the 21st. also i sub.3 service request. But I finally  got it .. I wish you all the best of luck and the best advice i can give you is don't be patient, contact them by all the means you can and let them know you are tired of waiting also Now more then ever I do believe that a Tier 2 can see when your case will be approved they are just not allowed to say. I was told by two officers last week when i called to be patient and wait for the 19th. I was approved yesterday a coincidence ??? I think Not .....

Yes for some reason any one who applied last fall things took a while. I was approved exactly 7 months after my first notice and now I am just waiting for the cita. Hopefully soon! Its a long process. Good luck with you as well I hope you hear something soon. Let me know if you need anything even though it's different Visa's any support is always good support during this!

 

Don't worry it will be no time, and yes your right any support helps. Thank you

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTier 2 CS Rep. Giving a date to when you will here Something

I can tell you that they never give you ANY info, I have no iea why one is even tranferred to them. They always gave me off the wall answers that made no sense. Last time I call they told me June 24 and my Noa 2 was recieved May 22 so they don't know. I wouldn't follow their advice to much. I found out by checking the USCIS.gov till I was blue in the face until it said approved.

 

Thanks for your in put. You have been waiting a while especially for a K-1... I wish you the best and hope all goes well for you at NVC ..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTier 2 CS Rep. Giving a date to when you will here Something

Has anyone experienced a Tier 2 Customer service rep. giving a specific date to when you will here something about your case? I called in about two days ago and spoke with a Tire 2 that refused to give me any information on my case. He just kept on saying that he thinks I should wait until my service request is answered on the 19. How does he know when it will be answered ??? I also have a friend who told me once she called in to ask about her address being changed and was told to wait a specific date, on the date she was given it was changed. Also she was approved several days later. 

 

 

Please anyone experience this ???

My wife's I-130 was just approved yesterday (NOA1 Jan 17)!!  It was a case that never appeared on the site & I just checked today and jumped for joy!!  smile.png  I did an infopass last week too and was disappointed with the result.

 

I'm waiting for my step son though whose NOA1 was on Dec 21.  Odd, no idea how they process these things.  It's clearly not in order. 

 

Congrats!!! it seems to me that the case never showed up on the sight because it was prob. fwd to NYC field office as soon as it was recv. by MSC. My NOA1 is Dec. 05 but was transferred to NYC on Jan. 30 so techically my NOA1 is Jan. 30. You should call and ask what date your son was transferred to NYC.. Best of luck, I am so happy to hear you got approved and that NYC is moving some cases at least.

Hi JoseOr NJessica,
Congratulations on your approval, you are right we can't just sit and wait, I will tell my husband to get an appointment for infopass.
When you went to infopass could you get any information?

 

Thank you so much... And yes you must get in contact with them any way you can. I would call and speak with a tier 2 twice a week. I also made two info pass appointments. The first one was useless but the second time i was able to sub. a service request in person. The officer handed me a form that he had me fill out to give to the officer assigned to my case. The question you need to ask is: 

 

When was my case transferred? 

Has my case been assigned to an officer already?

When was the last check in done on my case? 

 

These well help you estimate at least when you will be hearing from them. I was told to weeks ago that my case was checked in to and it was assigned back in may. I wish you the best of luck and remember keep on insisting...

Anyone else file in Dec. and feel the way I do. I have hope and faith in good things will move quickly. But it is hard thinking that this may drag on for a year or so... Anyone know how long it takes them to catch up??? :help: :unsure: :crying:

Wow i didnt think nyc office was that bad. Guess i have a lot more waiting to do.
Hey, mind if i ask how u managed to find out when your case was worked on?


Thanx for the input.



 

Don't worry you may get approved sooner then you think. In reality they have no since of organization at that office. I have seen ppl on vj get approved at 4, 5 and  7 months. I really hope you are one of the lucky ones and i really pray and hope i get approved soon. But with this office we are all up in the air. I found out my case was actually being worked on because I actually got lucky with a Tier 2 CS Rep. that was very helpful and gave me all the information he had on his screen. They are very rude and treat us very badly as if we are criminals.  Most of us just really want to be with our love ones as soon as possible. I hope this was Helpful, staying positive is key...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNew York City (feild office) i-130 Transfers

My NOA1 is 12/05/12 my case was transferred to NYC on 01/30/2013. I have gone to 2 INFO pass appointments where i was giving 0 information about my case just that i must wait because they have more then 5,000 apps, my next INFO pass is June 21. I recently found out that my case was assigned to a case worker on 05/06/2013 and the last time it was actually worked on was two weeks ago. I really don't know how much longer it will be. But i can tell you that my experience with the NYC field office has been extremely frustrating and stressful. I have also sub. 2 services request and have gotten on response which was of course what else but to wait. I called in today and spoke with a very rude tier 2 officer who refused to admit my case was even transferred and said that he is not required to give me any more information if he didn't want to. He said the only thing he can tell me is to wait for my service request to be answered on the 19 which of course will probably be to wait. These ###### ppl really piss me off

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWho is still waiting for visa to be issued??

Thanks guys for the replies. So I guess all Jamaica filers go through AP. That is good to know. I thought we were being singled out ugh! I just feel so down and helpless right now. My husband just wants to come here and be with me and start a family and our lives are on hold and there is nothing I can do about it. To be told you were approved and now this.

 

Yah.  Think about it this way - its a small part of your entire life.  You have a long journey in your marriage.  Its no longer him or you going and coming to visit its now permanent.  Although we waited 7 weeks to be issued, its seems like nothing now and I would do it all over again for the man that I love and that I know loves me.  And I believe that waiting for 7 weeks cemented our love and taught us a hard lesson in patience (and I am sure we will need to exercise patience in our marriage).  There is a saying we have in Jamaica that goes "if yuh want good yuh nose haffi run" and it essentially means that all good things comes to those that wait.  As many others have said to you, you already passed the hard part.  Focus now on things that he will need when he moves and how you want your life and love to be.
