Hello all.  Urbangirluk's hubby here.  I'm hoping that we will be transferred on Monday - and not to the NSC !!!  From what i've been told, they are slower than molasses !

 

Hello hubby dearest :D

Thanks bdrew612 for giving me an honorable title! smile.png. Apparently, my prediction kinda worked against me (as I was transferred to NSC & not to CSC or TSC). Nevertheless, yes They tend to only transfer on Monday and Tuesday every week. Very rarely on Fridays

 

Ok, then, we sit tight until Monday whistling.gif

Hopefully tonight!

 

Hope so, I told my hubby if anything comes through to text and email me, I don't care if it's in the middle of the night for me, I need something good to wake up to :D

Are we hoping for more transfers tonight?  Or do we think it might be Monday now as they've already done 3 days this week!

Oh Chiquitos is awful! Texas Embassy was even worse. Lol. Next time you're over, ask to go to Pappasitos. They have a few in the DFW area. My fav Mexican place! Well, texmex.


Pappasitos, got it :D

You can't beat a good old Sunday Roast. There's is a restaurant near where we're hoping to live called From Across The Pond, British run serves British food, looking forward to trying them out when I'm visiting hubby in April

Thanks for the laughs everyone tonight, off to sleep now.

Apparently, (says my USC husband with southern ties) "popovers" are essentially Yorkshire puddings in American disguise!


Interesting, I've never heard of them, will ask hubby about them :D

I live in Mexico so the Mexican food here doesn't get much better anywhere else. smile.png haha

 

Lol, we would be worried if it wasn't!

 

Ok, now I want yorkshire pudding...one of the few things I actually like smile.png

 

I ate at a place in Fort Worth called On The Border. That was pretty good. Actually, I think I ate at On The Border in Arlington and Irving too smile.png

 

(I spent a lot of time in the metroplex several years ago)

 

Ooh Yorkshire puddings, one of my favourites, my mission in life is to introduce Texas to Yorkshire puddings ;)  Yup, I've eaten at On The Border, my first time of trying Mexican, think I had Enchiladas, it was in Arlington, hubby used to live in an apartment complex between the Football and Baseball stadiums ... nightmare on game days :-\

Dont get me started on UK food smile.png

 

Chiquitos... that was the company that rose from the ashes of the American chain called Chi Chi's. They had several restaurants in the UK for a while, but they couldnt make a success of it, because they had to charge a very high price for a product they felt was inferior to their American wares, so they sold themselves to the company that became Chiquitos. I ate there once, at the one at Staples Corner in London.

 

Im a trivia freak as well as a food freak smile.png

 

Lol!  You certainly know your stuff!  I'm no food connoisseur, I'm a Yorkshire lass, don't have very high expectations, so unless it's really bad then it will get a thumbs up from me.  I did quite like Chiquitos and their Quesadillas compared favourable to the ones I have eaten in a couple of Mexican restaurants in Fort Worth, but that's just my opinion, like I said, I'm a simple girl with simple tastes ;)

Eww. Mexican food in the UK sucks big time. Although, so does most food in the UK smile.png

 

Hey, what's wrong with UK food cool.png

 

I took my hubby to a Mexican restaurant called Chiquitos when he was here in November, he said it wasn't bad but it didn't come up to scratch with the Mexican food he was used to eating in TX, and this last visit we went to an 'American' Steakhouse, he had ribs and lobster (yes a Texan that didn't eat steak in a steakhouse, I know, I know!), he was pretty impressed with that place :D

Behold our beloved USCIS agents:

secret7vf.gifCause our week is just so awesome that they didn't want to let us go.
 

 

Ha ha, this made me giggle rofl.gif   Cheered me up cause I've been feeling a bit down these last couple of days, especially when I saw that files after us had been transferred, just trying to be patient now and wait for the notifications.


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-27 15:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers

Yeah ... not too happy about that to be honest. This sort of thing happened to us last go around with the K1. Typical. Hope we hear something soon.

 

I hope so too, fingers crossed for tomorrow or Monday

How can they skip over an entire week?! That is complete nonsense! Maybe those petitions will just get approved from NBC, wishful thinking!
Hang in there, everyone! :-)

 

It's crazy!  Maybe, like I just said to hubby, that those ones were just 'out of sync' in the pile, probably wishful thinking but the wait goes on .....ClockWatch2.gif

Just out of interest, has anyone updated their Timeline with their transfer?  Does it show up?  Everyone I've looked at where I know there's been a transfer is still showing NBC.  I'm just curious Off-Topic2.gifidea9dv.gif

 

 

I did this morning but it doesn't show up for some reason

 

That's what I thought, yours was the first one I checked, hmmm!

So, all of August is transferred (as far as the spreadsheet goes) and lots of approvals yesterday, this can only be good news for us :)  #feelingoptimistic


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-27 04:17:00

Well, 9/3-910, and 9/20-9/23 so far. Everything in between is quiet right now. lol

 

Yup, we're 9/18, nothing for us :-\

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers

 

When you say 'how the petition went', what does that mean exactly? Sorry, I dont mean to sound stupid smile.png Do you mean if it was approved or not? 

 

I'm not sure I'll be able to contain the excitement until I receive the paper notice, so I'll probably have to call them. I'm in the UK now and leave for Florida on March 11th, so I'm hoping the NOA2 will be delivered to me when I get back (the post office there is holding my mail until March 12th) but I'm probably a little too excited to wait that long dancin5hr.gif


 

No, my priority date is September 20. The NOA1 is dated September 24, but priority date is September 20...so it looks like they're working even faster than we hoped goofy.gif


 

Our priority date is September 18, I just checked our status and nothing unsure.png, so the randomness continues jest.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers

My transfer date was the 24th. I'm assuming the transfers from Monday went to CSC and the transfers from yesterday went to NSC. I believe that goes along with VNBCI130's prediction! I'm interested to know what other people got in order to see trends.

 

Yes, will be interesting to see how it goes, and if the theory is correct then the next batch will be TSC right


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-26 11:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers

I just got a call back, my petition went to CSC!

 

So, is there any pattern to what they are doing or is everything just totally random one wonders!

My status just changed again. Haven't gotten an email yet, probably within the next 30 minutes smile.png

One more to go! wink.png (Or two, hmm).

 

Edit; Just got the second email update.

 

How exciting :D

Yay! Lots of action last night! I'll update the sheet as soon as I get to a pc in about an hour. The reason I've locked the spreadsheet is the other months have been having issues with people changing information, switching dates, moving columns, etc. I have no patience for that (and I'm a control freak) lol
And rpaterson, since your wife is already on the spreadsheet, I'll just change her PD and leave her name on the sheet (since it's the same petition).

 

That's fine, no worries, as long as you're happy to keep it updated I'm cool with that :D

Are you good with google docs, urbangirl? 

I am not but am willing to learn! tongue.png We definitely need more admins, it's getting busy here! FINALLY! smile.png

 

I've never worked on one before but I guess I could give it a go, I work in Admin so it can't be that hard right!

 

Yay to being busy, this is what we've all been waiting on for the last 5-6 months, a transfer (or approval) by our 6 month wedding anniversary would be just awesome :D

The spreadsheet is locked and only bdrew can update it. But we definitely need a "European time zone" Admin too .. smile.png

 

Ah ok, that's what I thought but just wanted to check.  I agree, another admin would be good :)


urbangirlukFemaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-25 04:43:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers

I don't know if anyone else is aware, I just read this in the August filers thread, but there is an android/iphone app where you can keep track of your case status, I guess this is most useful for those of us who are out and about all the time and don't always have access to a computer.  I have iphone and I think it's a slightly different app to the android one, but I just downloaded it and it let me input our Case Number and save it, and then it shows the status of your application.  I just searched for USCIS and it was the first one that came up by Spinach Software.

Totally confusing, I agree, our PD is Sept 18th, so only 2 days different from our Notice Date :-/

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsSeptember 2013 I-130 Filers
I just went to check our dates and change it on our timeline, it says your NOA1 date should be your Notice Date not Priority Date, http://www.visajourn...es/noa-date.jpg

So our NOA1 date is Sept 20th not 23rd as originally entered.
