I hope someone has my file or someone is about to grab my file from a box. I am hoping since someone combined my registered files on the USCIS website is a good sign.. Its the most hope I've had since I filed


Or ur portfolio has the last accessed date changed??

I know this wait thing sucks.

iam thinking of the same, normally on VJ they say after 5 months is the best time 

because if i involve a senator right now they would say u fall under the processing times 

so best to wait for 5 months before getting them involved

WOW,

just noticed that so many April fillers are getting approved and llots of files getting transferred to local office 

all of them i checked none were from National Benifits center, NBC, 

 

more waiting for people with files at NBC but good news for other dropbox

 

Thanks

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

 

Same here - ours hasn't been touched since April. I really just want them to send it off to the local office already!

 

 

Has yours been transferred to a local office then? I think we'll need a miracle to be approved in 3 weeks (sorry to be a debbie downer haha!)

thats why i said 3-5 weeks :)

also not all files get transferred , only some does, iam from Kansas and my local office does not process I-130, so it might get processed at NBC

 

oh well we will see, and we will keep our fingers crossed for some good news 


rickkantMaleIndia2013-07-09 13:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Looks like NBC is processing ealry march according to this thread (she had NOA1 on March 13th)

http://www.visajourn...2-received-yes/

 

We should start to see April fillers getting approved Very soon, 3-5weeks, Woot woot

Yes, thats what i was thinking too,

Is Uscis is closed today?
rickkantMaleIndia2013-07-05 09:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

MSC office is 2 hours away .. Closest field office is 1 hour 45 min.. Not much of a point to transfer it

 

I am from South east Kansas, and only 3 hrs away from USCIS

from my understanding this guys dont care how far , how close, 

they go by rules, and they will transfer even though its only minutes away. 


rickkantMaleIndia2013-07-02 09:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

 

Has yours been transferred to a local office already?

I called USCIS last wed, they said its still at NBC 
I will call again on Thursday, most likely the answer will be same.

 

after mid July we should see some movement, 

Good luck too all for this week, even though we have lots 2 days of processing days

i had a discussion with my friends at dinner table last night about this topic 

after 20 minutes we had to stop this topic, 

it has its advantages and disadvantages

but from my point of view this is bull ####### reform,

 

btw, i have never waited earlgely for a Monday in my life, hoping that this coming Monday would be the week we get approved. 


rickkantMaleIndia2013-06-30 10:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

I called USCIS in the morning, and finally i got a call from tier 2, he said my file is still at NBC, and they process file as first in first out 

and then i asked him if he would know on which month they are? , he said no, there is no way of knowing it.

I wish they would tell that.  

 

According to Visa journey, that master list, it looks like they are still on end of feb fillers,    thats how i got backlogged. 

 

Yes i wish they would update their timelines , mine to it said July and now its saying AUG23- sept.  crying.gif

Its a tough and painful wait for all of us. 


rickkantMaleIndia2013-06-26 11:43:00

Then all of september for transit to Manila embassy and should put us in an October timeline for getting the visa. Of course the sooner the better...

Since u have a chicago drop box, urs should be soon, Goodluck, I see u got it all planned out :)

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

 

Thank you - guess we're in for a long wait then, ours hasn't even been looked at since 22nd April sad.png

 

Our file is still at National Benefits Center, and yes when i login its still stuck on the same date as the priority date sad.png

 

On my number i went 20 numbers back and all of them are still on initial review. ranting33va.gif

 

the two people who got theirs approved used Chicago drop box, and ours is at NBC 

 

iam hoping in few weeks we should see some approvals from NBC of month April, 

but

according to this our wait time is long, maybe a month or so.

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

Are there any NBC people who's files have been transferred to their local office yet?

I will call USCIS today and see if any good new awaits us. 

since we are both from NBC, and in same boat, I will call today

the person who got approved is from Chicago office. so it does not make us any difference to us 


rickkantMaleIndia2013-06-20 09:17:00

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

HI guys i have some question.Today i just called to the ISO about my case and ask what happen with my case and where is it .She told me that my case is still at USCIS and its still not trasfered to NBC.Last time before  couple weeks i called and they told me its pending at NBC im really confuse what actually happen and is it good to be still at USCIS is there another similar case

Hmm, 

 

If file is at NBC then u should had gotten a NOA2  ,  also online on USCIS it should say post decision...

 

Online if its showing initial review then file is still at USCIS ,   for all march fillers we might have to wait for one more month because USCIS is still processing files of late feb and early march right now 

so more waiting for us, but some of us will get lucky to see NOA2 soon. and few of us might have to wait more than 2 months too, 

Hope this helps

Hi April filers. I am a March filer here. I was just seeing how the April group was doing as us March filers are still waiting waiting waiting. Anyways I see some of you are asking about processing times. Here is a link http://www.visajourn...tion=3&sortby=2 where you can find the current status of all members who have filled out their timeline correctly. You can search by service center if you wish. The link above will take you to the NBC as that is what I have it set to. You can see each month how many people have been approved and still waiting.

 

Good luck and happy waiting.

 

Good info, so according to the chart they are currently processing feb end fillers 
Long wait for April fillers, :(

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

Any updates from anyone (non-DCF peeps?)

 

I checked my online status, and they haven't even looked at our petition since NOA1...does that mean it hasn't even been transferred to a local office yet? Thought it would have been transferred at least, seeing as it's been nearly 2 months? Any one got any experience/info? Thanks

I called on Tuesday and spoke to a Tier 2 rep. and sadly he said the files are still at NBC
Normally it takes around 3 months, so 1 more month of waiting :( 


rickkantMaleIndia2013-06-08 13:10:00

How do i check processing times of NBC

when i go to USCIS and select NBC processing dates, I dont see a option for I-130
where can i see the I-130 NBC processing times


rickkantMaleIndia2013-06-06 20:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

I have been checking my status everyday on the USCIS website.  and when I checked today my status was updated and it says...

 

On June 5, 2013, your address was changed relating to the I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN that you filed. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

 

My case is still under initial review.  and I never requested to change our address after we filed I-130.

I am so confused and worried. Does anyone know what does it mean?  

 

If you never requested for address change, then something is wrong, 
Call USCIS and ask them what is going on.

Yesterday I posted that we received an email letting us know that our I-130 petition had been approved...today we got an email with packet 3!!! We couldn't believe it because we thought it would be another few weeks before we heard anything from the local consular visa section here.Things seem to warming up now! DCF seriously rocks.

 

Good to hear that,  i guess for all of us we might have to wait over a month or month and half before they touch our files which went to Phoenix and then to  National Benefits Center
