IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTimelines?
You know, I have updated my timeline the other day, cause I had k-3 down instead of CR-1/IR-1 down. anywho. it gives me this info >>>>Processing Estimates/Stats : There is not enough data in the timelines to accuratley approximate when your I-130 will be approved.

What the heck? huh.gif Gosh, there should be a better system......... headbonk.gif and I don't like that uscis only updates once a month either...

sorry had to vent a lil

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThe reason CSC is a mess
Well, I know this is only my 2 cents, but they should have planned better for this. If they knew, then they should have been prepared, but then again...we are talkin bout the govt. and stuff headbonk.gif
Now, we have to suffer more set backs and stuff before we can even move on to the next step of this hellish process and be with our loved ones. YEAH YEAH i know ...they don't care and stuff, and maybe they should fricken outsource or hey ....maybe hire some of these ppl comin over on a darn work visa (( sorry just gets frustrating)). They put them first in front of our Family Visa's ranting33va.gif so I have read!!

Like I said ...that is my 2 cents

Approximately how long does it take to get a CR-1 visa ?


It usually takes about 8-9 months but can take much longer for countries such as Pakistan especially if the beneficiary is male.



My husband is from Pakistan, so I guess, we wait, wait and wait. smile.gif

I just checked

http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD


which appears to be updated weekly.

The bad news for me is that the Vermont Center is still stuck on 7/29/07 while the California Center has gone from 8/19/07 to 8/30/07 in one week.

What makes the date unreliable is that a number of dates went backwards.

"All Other Forms" seems to have gone backwards in California, Texas and Vermont.

As I understand things, the N-400 is the form that is delaying everything else. Those forms moved 1 day in California and didn't move at all in the rest of the country.

@@@@@@@@@@@
A friend of my wife married a British man soon after we were married and she should be able to move to London by the end of the month. It seems like we will be lucky if my wife can come here by our first anniversary.


Yes, it is very frustrating. My wife and I married in Iizuka City; April 16th of this year. I was able to file our I-130 in June. We have a date of June 11th on the USCIS website and we will be luck if we can be together by our first anniversary.

USCIS is so messed up right now.

Good luck with you Journey!

I feel the same way sad.gif it is just so frustrating. Our 1 yr anniversary will be in March and I pray we will be together by then, but I not holding my breath on that.
We are currently waiting on our NOA2 and when i called in sept, told it could be 180 days before we hear anything. (sighs)

I wish everyone the best of luck!!!!!!

Advisory on Processing Times

In the past few months, USCIS has received a significant increase in the number of applications filed. As a result, processing times will likely become longer for applications filed after June 1, 2007.

USCIS is working hard to address the increased volume and will continue to provide additional information on application processing times as it becomes available. For more information, please see our Frequently Asked Questions on receipt delays.



hi QaSiM--aIsHa

Congratulations mgk!!! I am just curious, did you request for expedited service? According to VSC receipt update on Nov.1, they are still working on I-130 sent to them before July 24. You sent them yours on July 28 and you got approved already. A lot of people who sent their I-130 at the end of July still have not received their NOA1 yet.



Take a look at my timeline...

I sent my I-130 on 5-19-07 to the Vermont Office
Notice of Receipt was on 5-21-07
Notice of Approval was on 6-7-07

I didn't request no Expedite service.. I also I sent my application via Priority Mail only..

Today I just got my IV Fee Bill of $380.. After paying this, I am going to be on my last step which is the DS230..

Gotta love vermont. sucks to be at CSC

That happened to me. I130 and I129F forms would not show up as received or anything - Online, OR by phone. I130 didn't show up AT ALL until it was actually *finished*. How's that for suspense?

Try to get through to an operator - and give them your number. They have access to a system different from the one on the phone.

What happened when I got through, the first person did not find it - they asked if I got the receipt in the mail, I said yes - then they said "Hold on, I'll transfer you to someone who can help."

*hold*

Supervisor comes on and asks me for my receipt number - checks it in HER system ... then says "We've received your form on (date) everything's OK." etc etc etc.

Ya thats what i did i called and spoke to an operator she didnt know why it didnt come up over the phone so but she checked nothings changed but its there.. She also checked to see what apps there working on at CSC she said April but i've seen a few people who have gotten approved from may june and july.. Our time will come i just hope its soooooooooooon...


This happened to me today and I spoke to 2 different ppl. the last officer i spoke with told me that she emailed the dept that took care of petitions. she also said that our case didnt show that it had been assigned to anyone either, so to wait 10 days for an update and if nothing, to give them a callback. Our case has been there since june, so how could it not be found??!! wacko.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalled USCIS and our I-130 is not found in the system?!!
Today I thought I would call USCIS and try and talk to a rep about our case. Well of course online it has been saying the same thing now for almost 6 mths. ( pending)

Well I called and put in our Receipt # and the automated system tells me "" Status CAN'T BE FOUND" huh.gif
So, I wanted it to be repeated to me and again said same thing, so I got connected to a csr and she told me that she would escalate call and get me to someone else. So, she transferred me over and I had to wait for over 20 mins or so.....I finally got to an officer and I told her the information that she was needing.

I was told that our case has not been assigned to an officer and she would send an email to the dept and see what is goin on. She then told me to wait 10 days to see if there has been any updates on the uscis page and if not , to call back. Also that our 6 mth period would be Dec 12th, and she also told me by this date to callback as well (( LIKE I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT ))

also, I am fighting a bad cold and have lost my voice, so it was a difficult call to deal with sad.gif

Has anyone else here had this happen to where the case status stated that " IT CAN'T BE FOUND" when calling USCIS??

thanks
Aisha
