That's awesome, but it's disheartening to go from dealing with sometimes rude, non-informative, dismissive, hurrying ISOs to having one that will go that far to get information.

What time of day did you call?


I just called and the lady hung up on me. It took alot out of me to not slam my phone on the floor !!!

Hey ! So remember how i said that they changed my husbands address on the application as if he lived here in the US so just now i recieved an email saying the following :


Type of service requested:
-- Typographical Error


The status of this service request is:

After careful review of your request, it has been determined that your issues will be best addressed by the USCIS office having jurisdiction over your case. Therefore, we have taken the liberty of forwarding your service request to the New York City field office.

Now i guess i have to keep waiting or maybe i will get an answer soon enough !

This is very annoying I wish they would not have made those changes as of august 15 2012 so that the cases can be taken cared of in a faster manner.

i just continue to imagine my case sitting in a box with thousands of others and a agent sitting there with a big cup of coffee and a big #### donut just sitting on his behind deciding wether or not to approve my case today.While am sitting here at work checking the website every hr on the hr .

Ok so i just left my infopass appointment , i asked all my questions waited for the head of the i 130 dept and the person simply said NYC has been hit with this new project simce august 2012 we are trying our best to be productive and establish this new system . All i wanted to do is cry ! Your cases are here if they were transferred they are here and we dont have an agent assigned to your case yet.


Am sad I knew that transferring to NY would not b good !!!! So all my NYC people lets not loose faith !!!

I know I was going to do it online but i did it over the phone . I had to drill d operator to go over the application to tell me the things i requested .

She was going to start that Bs msg " please keep in min it takes 5 months to a year" and i told her yeah thats great i know that already

No just one because I moved like 14 days after i sent in the application so i called to change it and they only sent me one . I clearly told the operator when i called to move that i moved not my husband but i guess she did it like we both moved .

Ohhhhhhh mmmyyyyyy goooddddddd !!!

Ok so last week when i called the lady asked me a weird question she said :

Your case has been transferred to the local field office in NY has your husband ever been to NY
Has he ever been in trouble with the law
Having a case transferred to a field office is not the ideal situation .

All d answers were no !!!!

Ok so this morning i was thinking why d hell did they ask me that so i decided to call and i went through all d details of my copy of the i 130 form . Tell me why when i called on october 18 to inform them of my change of address the idiot that did it changed my husbands address too !!!!!!! She made it look like he was in NYC . Oh lord i went bizerkkkkssss ( i didn t spell that correct ) the nice operator put in a service request to have that changed and said that they will retrieve the case from the NYC field office as well. She informed that they will be sending me a letter in 10 business days . Soooooo .....

My case could've been approved but due to this it was delayed . Ughhh at least now i know whats going on and that i can at least enjoy new years eve !!!!

So if you sent in your i 130 and u did a address change plz double check and ask the 2nd tier operator a lot of questions like Darnell told us to .

I wouldn't be surprised. Check out the processing time estimates at: http://www.visajourn...m/content/times

New York City, NY is the farthest behind I can see from the 10 that I randomly checked. For Darnell, Dallas, TX is a little behind too. I'm perhaps considering cancelling my infopass appointment, but a part of me wants to go to the office and crack a whip and get the ball rolling, not sure if it'll do any good. They don't have I-130's listed, although that is probably because they never used to process them, and this workload transfer thing is temporary just to handle the extra applications for illegal immigrants applying for deferred action.

Sigh, I knew being transferred to the NYC office was going to be bad, I just tried to be optimistic. Posted Image

Hey Amigis

I called today and I am a little confused ,

The operator informed me that eventhough i sent it to the Chicago Lockbox i was assigned to Missouri , Now she informed me that on November 28, 2012 Local Field office in NY has the case therefore i need to go get an appointment to speak to them directly , she said this usually means that they will call me in for a interview or they may just send me an approval letter. I am not happy nor sad am just confused at this point.

I got an appointment for the 3rd so I hope i get the answers i need asap. anywho i am going to start today putting all my documents together in a neat binder just in case they call me in to interview me. I am praying that they dont but if they do i want to be prepared.

- I guess since my husband is 5 yrs younger than me this may be a red flag for them.

but who knows. I hope that I get approved soon so i can plan my vacations to go see him but till then I WAIT!!!

am a little bummed out !!
