Called USCIS and talked to tier 2 they said they still in February ... they said would take 9-13 month total to process my I -130 I said nope you updated the system and it said 7.4 months!!!! she said they were backlogged and even so I am not outside of normal processing times have a good day and hung up. So they haven't done anything as of yest with my case even the birthday change I requested and they have until dec4th to change :(  feeling little down hearted because what are we paying these people to do... except be rude?

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

Hi everyone,

 

I got my NOA 1 on May 6th and I realized that my husbands middle name wasn't showing on the letter so I asked USCIS to make sure that his middle name wasn't by mistake omitted by them. On Sep 18, 2013, a letter arrived from USCIS saying that there was an update on his name and that everything was fine. However when I called USCIS, I was told that I would have to wait for six months more because they are only processing applications from Oct,2012. Initially I thought that I have created this problem by requesting them to look into his name. But after reading all these threads on VJ, I realized that there are many of us waiting. Is there anyone out there who thinks maybe the reason why my application  is being delayed because I called and requested to make sure his name was correct? My agent who helped me prepare my application pretty much told me that my question regarding the name caused the delay.. Any thoughts? 

 

my husband's birthday was off by 3 days and i was told it doesnt affect my case to have this fixed

Philippinesvisitors visa to the U.S

your spouse would have to have extremely strong ties to the Philippines and even then on a tourist visa the chance of approval is slim to none. Once you filed paperwork for immigration the only real option is for the US citizen to visit the spouse.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWords of Encouragement...

I have to agree this process is not for the faint of heart and those ready to give up easily. I have cried many nights out of frustration just because I have no control over my life and what to expect. I felt lost at times because no one understood my pain. I havent had much of a support except in visa journey. I am so happy today my I130 was approved today and I can smile and laugh without worry creeping in my thoughts. Today I am celebrating!!! I hope soon to be with my husband finally since a year and almost four months now being apart.... I hope we have this process completed before the two year mark. I hope everyone finds their reasons to celebrate throughout this process.

I will say what i would want to hear which is a big congratulations on your quick approval. I have been almost two years married and still waiting but I want to give you a big congrats seeing your post gave me hope. I hurt enough being away from my beloved husband and I would ever want another to feel this hurt as long as I have.... so congrats and you deserve to share your happiness :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAm I the only one

I have watched many types of visa get approved while I have been in my fifteen month wait and still counting... I am married, not waiting to get married, and have been waiting to start a life with my husband.... what I learned is to stop comparing my case to other's. Yes different visa's have different processing times, and some people do get luck of the draw on where their petition is sent. I just think positive towards others and remind myself this could be worse. Not too long ago I seen folks posting on how unfair it is for married people to wait while K1 visa were being processed faster.... we all get our turn and are relieved when we get our approvals... so I know things are so frustrating and it makes you want to pull out your hair, but keep faith and spread good will around to our fellow petitioners. We all need some positive encouragement.

Middle East and North AfricaK1 interview in Tunis - can I attend with fiance?

I dont have an answer to your question and im not familiar with K1 visa procedures but just a heads up on interviews my husband's interview was sept 4th for our spouse visa and they "didnt receive the paperwork".. had my senator look into it and  the nvc sent it aug 5th and the embassy got it aug 14th ... they sent my husband and 3 other interviews ( which there was two for K1 visas) away and had them leave contact info ... my husband still hasnt gotten his 2nd interview and the senators office is also trying to help me with this problem. I am just letting you know to be prepared.  BUt in the tracking CEAC site convenitally after the senators office called it was found and put as received instead of in transit ...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWrong Information and Timelines for others filing IR-1/CR 1 for a spouse in Tunisia to get to the US?

I received my  first NOA and on it my Alien Relative's birthday is listed as the wrong day... what should I do? and does this affect my process? If so how does it? Also I am wondering about the processing times. I am currently in the US and my husband in Tunisia and waiting on the NOA2 and wondering what others waiting periods are? Is there any way to make this process faster?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHelp for a friend

I wouldn't think it is a violation. Immigration is not a right. She has no right to bring another person to the US, plenty of people have been denied spousal visas which had nothing to do with disabilities. She has the right to find a co-sponsor. She has the right to move to another country.

Or to flip the issue, I, as a taxpayer, have the right to demand a person not be permitted to immigrate if they are going to require my tax dollars to support themselves. The intending immigrant has a right to a life where the basic necessities such as food, water, and housing are provided.

If she doesn't meet the poverty requirements how will the spouse survive. He will not be eligible for any means-tested benefits such as food stamps, federal subsidized housing, free medical care, etc. How will the spouse eat, where will he live?

There are a lot of people's rights to consider here but remember, immigration is not a right.

Thank you for clearing that up Belinda, I am not fully aware about immigration law, I know it seems a stupid question to ask , I am just trying to get the facts, and thanks so much 


HoussemAnnaFemaleTunisia2013-11-13 09:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHelp for a friend

Your friend wasn't denied because of a disability, it's because they don't meet the minimum income requirements. Unless they find a joint sponsor, there is nothing anyone can do. They are not going to allow someone to immigrate if the petitioner has no way to support the beneficiary. They will not risk letting the beneficiary becoming a public charge. There are disabled people whose family members get-approved every day, myself included. I petitioned for my husband and he was approved, I am above the minimum income requirements. So they need to look a little harder for a joint sponsor or the visa will never be approved.
As Belinda stated, immigration is not a right, it is a privilege. It is very clear that they were not denied because of a disability, but because they don't meet the income requirements. Why you and they don't understand that is beyond me.

The last sentence was not needed. What is beyond you is that this is a forum to ask questions even if they seem stupid to you. You dont need to be insulting. I am grateful for any question answered but you can keep the insults to yourself.
