IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 MARCH 2013 FILERS!! NBC

According to the 16 month estimate posted by the USCIS, I am nowhere near getting approved.  I am actually closer to being approved with a K-3 since their posted processing time for that is 5 months.  I can sit here and hope I get an approval soon until my heart falls out of my chest or I can file a K-3 and have 2 different avenues to follow.

 

Also, I was told that  the K-3 and I-130's are processed at different service centers.. so My K-3 does NOT impact the processing at the NBC. 

 

 

true, but every petition requires services from different agencies like for example for a i-130 nowadays they can perform over 20+ background checks ...

 

even if it is at a different service center, it still increases the workload of that center, and meanwhile it's not that they are staying at that service center and drinking coffee all day if they don't get any K3 petitions..

 

there is a process and every application enters that process that same day it is received, it's not that new petitions will delay old ones.. rather than themselves and who is coming next...

 

i believe that when they received mine at March 11, it has entered the process on that day and i will just wait for when my i-130 gets approved.. and go with the flow.. if we were delayed it is because of a lot of petitions being sent before and on that very same day as ours.

 

the 16,6 months estimate is not real timeno0pb.gif , it's ancient

Look at it like this...

 

K-3 processing time is posted at 5 months

I-130 processig time is posted on average 16 months.

 

If the USCIS is telling ereryone 6-12 months ( does that mean from the time we filed or the time when they read off that info?)

 

As an April Filer, I already have 6 months in... add 6 -12 months to that and I am at the 16 month timeframe

 

My K-3 will hit the USCIS on Friday.   If it gets processed  in the 5 month posted timeframe.. I'm ahead of the I-130..

IF... my I-130 gets approved within the 5 months K-3 times frame, I'm not losing anything.

 

At least I can call and put a service request in if my K-3 isn't approved.. but really, I'll take whatever file comes first.  If the K-3 takes longer than 5 months and the I-130 isn't approved yet. well I still have 2 avenues...


yea, not really any point to this.... and you have no Idea what type of file you are looking up.


 

you can try

 

but doing anything now when we are so close of getting approved, it is like increasing the workload for USCIS and more delays especially for the ones who are sending their petitions the next day of the receipt of your K3 visa petition..

 

if everyone does this, its like doubling the work for a uscis employee/agent... and then again twice going at NVC/embassy after K3 and latter 130 approved.. the 16.6 will only increase till it goes to 32 months..

 

wish you get approved soon

It seems all recent approvals of i-130s are completed by the MSC/National Benefit Center....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 MARCH 2013 FILERS!! NBC

i think for March filers the average processing time is 7 to 9 months, the 16.6 is till July, we have to wait for the data of Sept. which is our 6th month i believe. So, Oct. is our 7th month and so on..

anyway, if they go on with approvals, we will be approved by then..

the coming week we may see more approvals for March filers hopefully, but still it will take around 12 months the full process time till the visa gets approved.good.gif

wow.gifi think that comment was a bit insensitive..................offtopic45vn.gif..................Off-Topic2.gif

 

i also think a request for expedite is much better to get attention on your petition than lets say contacting your congressman or applying for a K3, and everyone should apply for an expedite as soon as they can if they think so, especially when you have been waiting for so long.

no Steve, Everyone is just making their own best guess....  They post those processing times to make it easier on them. They can still say they are within the estimated processing times.  So they don't have to act on anything because it isn't past those posted times.  IMO, it can be viewed 100 different ways.  How ever you view it, the fact is, we all have to sit tight . 

 

Nothing will change the way they processing anything. No letter, no blog, not even a phone call.  Even the expedites are taking a while. 

 

Our lives are in their hands.. Sad Sad Sad

 

yes, it is true.. those processing estimates are telling us an old picture of a situation which has occurred long time ago.

 

those aren't real time estimates, or LIVE estimates.

 

in order for them to say that we are not past the posted processing times, they have to tell us day to day estimates. if i call today they have to tell me what they are processing today? not what they were processing yesterday, because they always be right.

 

we will only be past processing time when there is only a handful of petitions

 

anyway they have a difficult job so lets be positive and hope for our best,dancin5hr.gif

Yes i received a supplement transferred notice by the NBC saying that if you do not receive a decision within 60 days to call customer service it will be 60 days on Mondaythe 6th. Do you suggest call Monday or after Monday? How long after your 60 days did you call?



yes do it on monday. i did mines before my 60 days were up. at first she kept saying no that she cant make on for me then i told her about the supplement notice then shes will like if they said file a service request i will file on for u. maybe i got lucky with the rep i got. try it out and see what the rep will, although i think they should accept ur request by now.

basically from what understand is they need to give you information on your case. I did my service request on Dec 11 and rep told me to wait on dec 26 they will contact me. when i called on thursday she had said i must wait 30 days from the given date before making a second inquiry.

Wondering if there is more people out there like me ? I sent of my I130 Petition on March 15 and received a letter saying they received it March 21st then received another NOA saying it was transferred to the Nebraska Service Center the Notice date on that letter was November 7. Ever since then i have not heard anything from them. Is anyone going through the same thing I am or has anyone heard anything?

i just sent my first email to nsc today but i didnt mention my referral number the service request because they said i have to wait 30 days until i could make an inquiry with nsc. i got my referral # on dec11, but they told me to wait until dec 26 until i would hear a response. i called yesterday the custmer service number and they told me i have to wait until jan 26 until i could make an inquiry with nsc. do u think it was a smart move that i didnt mention it or should i send another email with referral number.

Finally !!!! ??I was able to make a service request. At first the rep told me i had to wait six months since transfer until i can make a service request, but then i mentioned that they had sent the supplement paper that after 2 monthes we should make an inqury she just said ok if u got a paper stating that I will make one.
So if any one wants to make a service request mention the paper if u got one. They said that they will contact me on dec. 26 but I highly doubt ?? it because everyone would still be on Christmas break.

I am not sure what the deal is with these appovals why is it that someone who got transffered a few days ago just got approved and people that have been waiting more than 30 days are still waiting.. I am trying to comprehend this.. Is it that people that have had previous marriages like me with a whole lot of paperwork being put aside while others who have this as their first marriage get approved asap? I wonder because this is not fair, it will be a full 9 months for me this 19 Posted Image



I dont think so because this is my very first marrige and they haven't gotten anything since my transfer. My pd is on March 13 and my transfer date is on oct 31 to nebraska.
