Hmmm
After spending 1 hr reading all topics. There is
A major backlog at NVC. So many k1 petitions are stuck.
That facilitie opening to process i130 should bring some good news but then again we all will be stuck in NVC.
This process had been too stressful for all us.iam hoping we should see approvals starting tomorrow.
Finger corrosed. We all have been waiting for this facilite to open.

I have never look forward for a Monday this much in my life

I don't understand this.. I talked to a tier2 in California that could look at all my information.. So I assumed that either my file was scanned into the computer or someone had done some data entry.. Which means pulling it out of a box or que to answer questions sounds stupid.. IMO

Yeah they have the info on file, its just basic info

i went to my local field office to inquire, and she told me that on my i-130 i did not put my wife address, i was OMFG

i clearly states see page 3 

and on a separate page i have the address, my wife is from India and they have long address, so i used extra page to put full address, 

thats how dumb people are there in USCIS office. 

 

under staff is bullcrap, they have soo much money in applications. 

its just one messed up organization. this immigration process should be made competitive. 

 

 

Iam thinking about writing a letter to my senators and congress to.

Yes, when your file reaches the NVC stage; the online forms DS-260 (Immigrant Visa Application) and DS-261 (Choice of Agent form) are to be utilized.

thanks for info

Is there new forms for NVC process starting sept 3rd.
So if we get approved then we will need to use this new ones right.

rickkantMaleIndia2013-09-07 10:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
Yes. And I just found out my friends visa was approved too. It was first week of march priority.
Woot woot

rickkantMaleIndia2013-09-05 16:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
I would say yes. Too many i30 approved will create backlog at NVC.
We should see approvals once the new facilitie opens up in Kansas in 26 days. So in October
We should see approvals. But this is wait is reiducilas.


rickkantMaleIndia2013-09-04 16:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

I'm trying to think realistic which isn't good..
April 1 --- my NOA1
Jan 1 --- NOA2 6-9 months (probably 9)
May 1 --- Get through NVC and interview (probably 4 months)
June 1 --- Me and wife finally living together in US

Total process 14 months :(





I like and agree to ur thinking.
It's best to think worst so we are prepared if it takes that long.
But if I get good news ealry I ll take it
Hopefully from tomorrow things Start to speed up.
Cheers.

At this point, i feel that USCIS just doesnt give a ####### about American citizens...their priority is giving amnesty to illegal immigrants...screw the citizens. I am so fed up! I am an april filer...I would be surprised if I got a NOA2 by next summer at this rate. It looks so grim! And all the k1 approvals flying out...ranting33va.gif  I wish just one Congressman would really bring this issue forward...but its never going to happen. We dont matter unfortunately...can you tell I am not in a good mood? grrrr!


Agreed. They just want new voters to vote for them.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
Something needs to be done. This wait time is ridiculous.

Btw. Need info.
When I file my taxes next year. Can I file as married? Even if my wife is in overseas.
If I file as married less tax gets taken
Any one has more info on this.
Thanks

February filer thread account of approvals...  Very interesting... 

 

Now,  if they would start on the March Filers we'd be in business

 

Woot Woot , nice to hear about this,

It's nice to see April fillers in good mood. I know it's tough for all of us but we all gotta stay strong and our time will come.
rickkantMaleIndia2013-08-10 21:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
May k1 filler getting approved. This is ridiculous.
We have so many feb I-130 fillers still wating for approval. And march and April fillers.

rickkantMaleIndia2013-08-10 16:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

You know days like yesterday I get upset because I see my paycheck.. 23% income tax then 8-10% sales tax.. Property tax ect and some reason can't get a I-130 under 4 months!! I just think maybe I need to go fire some politicians..

But I remember reading somewhere that immigration operates with it's own money so knowing I-130 filing fee $420 and amount of receipts received in April 58,379 = $24,519,180 in one month.. That is a lot of money for one month!! If it took 30 min average per I-130 working 8 hours per day 40 hours per week 4 weeks per month .. One employee could do 320 I-130.. It would take 183 employees.. Lets double that number for the people answer phones ect.. 366 employees!! Let's pay everyone $100,000 per year or $8,333 per month.. Employee cost is $3,050,000

$24,519,180
-$3,050,000
= $21,469,180 profit for month of April and everything done within 2 weeks..

No excuse for 4 month wait time except greed if you look at it this way










Very good observation. That's a lot of money involved.

Another week gone with very few approvals.

Same here.
Still nothing. Seems like it's had slowed down.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
Any approvals today. I still need to check the list. But i did see one guy get a rfe from February 15th. Some one else commented that he had has a rfe too.

I have seen an I-130 approval within 165 consecutive numbers previous to mine...I hope this means that we are getting closer....it was MSC1390983725. The goverment needs to overhaul the system. And to me its strange that all the paperwork is never converted to an electric file..so they dont ever get lost between agencies...

i have noa1 april 19th and iam 21000 number ahead of u   OMG

I made a call to usics yesterday around 4pm. The female did not wanna transfer me to tier 2. I asked her twice and she told me to call back later in 2 hrs. I asked her why she did not give me any reason.
It's a long wait for all of us :(

It is my understanding that not all cases are getting transferred to the local offices.  Twice I was told by USCIS that they don't automatically get transferred. My case has been at the NBC for 3.5 months.  I don't think it is going to get transferred.  I wish they would hurry up and open the other facility and just start processing cases...  This wait is just ridiculousprotest6wz.gif ClockWatch2.gif headbonk.gif


I called yesterday too and asked if my case has transferred. He said no and in my case it will not transfer.

Not all case gets transferred. Hopefully soon we should get some answers.

Keep us updated on what they say. After hearing that 12 month processing non sense it has made me furious. I wanna call too but I know I will get into bad conversation.
After hearing all this about uscis. I think they should be paid on the number of files they process

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

Iam in the same boat as u all, and feel the same. 

just when we file for our loved ones and thats when the processing time jumps 

last night i was browsing the march forum and they are having tough luck to and with that post abut 12 months, it made me felt heart broken cray5ol.gif

they should just start processing in a different country, where it would be quick and more efficient, its sad to take jobs away from USA people but thy are to a point which makes us all angry.
