They probably ship the approved  files on Friday.  Good for you !!   its nice to see something good actually happen

No, they don't ship approved files Friday.  I got approved on Monday and Tuesday my case was updated that they shipped it :)

 

Now I've been calling NVC everyday to see when I can get my case number because even though USCIS has my right address on file (I've gone in person to check), I've never received anything at my house.

And no, it's still not easy to say when you've been sitting here for the better part of a year and still haven't gotten your case adjudicated. *hugs*  We'll all get through this, eventually. 

How do you contact the ombudsman? Would it be the same one since we're in the same part of NJ?

Just wanted to let everyone else waiting at the Nebraska service center know that I was approved today at 9:31 AM. 

 

Prior to that I received a similar notice that others received that my Alien registration number had changed. This was yesterday night at 7:30 PM

 

Thanks and good luck to all those still waiting. 

 

 

Congratulations!!! Hopefully I hear something soon!! We can see each other in the embassy in Santo Domingo lol

Proof of income also comes from the previous 2/3 years 1040s, and not only the current job.

You can show them your salary before the taxes - send them original/copy of pay stubs of your current job; and it does not hurt if you write a letter [to NVC] explaining your current job situation.

I pray that you find a good job and everything with NVC goes smooth.

Goodluck.

Thanks!!  I already have an interview for tomorrow :)

I've asked in the NVC thread, I haven't been approved yet, but I was wondering if anybody here knew.  Is proof of income before or after taxes?

 

I just lost my job, and I just have my part time now :(

For anyone who has received the email with the P4 Interview Letter: Did yours have an older date in the subject line and file name? Both have "24JUN2013". Everything seems fine. Just wonder what this date is for.

Mine also has this.

I just wanted to drop by and let you all know that my husband's visa was (finally!) approved this morning at the consulate in Amsterdam! Thank you everyone here who has been so helpful during this entire process!  

 

(As an aside, sorry that I haven't been around, but me and the girls have been super busy with kid type stuff, so I've been more active on facebook than here. Miss you guys!)

I posted it for anyone else who is interested in that particular information, or who got a letter stating that their case was going through background checks and wants to verify that. :)

So it seems that I lost the marathon indeed.  Bowing out from the race and wishing that no one wins this darn race.  I want everyone to loose really really fast. 

 

I just got the approval...I guess signing Happy song all day was good...now I can sleep happy.

 

I honestly pray for each one of you and wish that everyone is out this sooner than later. 

YAY! I'm so happy for you! Sweet and happy dreams to you tonight!


We just got the text message/email that our I-130 has been approved! So, so, so very excited! (And I'll get my stuff added in the actual August spreadsheet, I've just been in this thread since the very get go, so I've always considered myself with everyone in July. But, there you go!)

 

Off to NVC!

Congrats! :D

Hello, fellow July-ers!

 

Earlier today, I got the notice of change of Alien Registration Number.  Tonight I got my approval notice!  214 days from submission to approval.  31 days from transfer to TSC.  There is hope for all of us!

 

Off to join the January NVC thread!l

I'm so happy that you finally got your approval! Congrats!

Maybe try contacting the ombudsman's office re: the 60 day statement?


KaylaraFemaleNetherlands2014-01-21 17:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

We got approved!

Congrats! Can you please tell us the following:

 

1. Priority Date

2. Transfer Date (If Applicable)

3. Service Center you were processed at

 

Or timeline.gif

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

CSC is definitely having quicker approvals.

 

If you got transferred on 1/3, then I think one of 2 things are most likely to happen: 

 

1. You will get approved within a very short amount of time.

2. You will wait almost the full 60 days, or possibly more than it.   

 

There really doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground there at this point in time. It's a ####### shoot.  Check out the spreadsheets for the other months (Like March, April, and May.) to get a better idea of what you're facing. :) 

 

Good luck!

They are leaving out people on July 22nd, 23rd, 24th as well.

 

What is wrong with USCIS ??? seriously ??

 

I can see that they are just IGNORING certain receipt numbers and transferring the rest.

 

What the ####### ???

They've been doing that the entire time. There are people from Feb/March/April/May that never got transferred.

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

I am guessing after they  get done with the work day and  hit all the data in.. so it will depend on where you live at so it' s  good  idea  to check in the evening time 

I believe there's a night contractor that does a bunch of the staging/imput work for the service centers. Hence the night time/after hours approvals and transfer notices.

If you go to California, you will probably have your NOA2 fairly quickly. If you get sent to the void that is Nebraska or Texas, who the hell knows how long it will take. Looks like they're also letting some go right to the edge of 60 days and then issuing an RFE to extend their time to process it.

Ok, I was trying to update the information on the spreadsheet, but I've run into a bit of a snag. Some of you are using your user names, and some are using your names as listed on your timeline.  Can you please use your username for clarity of information? Also, if I've accidentally duplicated any info, can you please go and erase what I did. :P


KaylaraFemaleNetherlands2013-12-14 22:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

I sent a fax to my congresswoman for my I-130 and I-129 F, and here is the reply I got:

 

"After a review of our systems it was found that Case MSC 13 915 8XXXX, Form I-129F and Case MSC 13 915 2XXXX, Form I-130 filed by XXXXXXX on behalf of XXXXXXXX are currently pending.  Both cases will be adjudicated together.  The estimated processing time for I-130 petitions is an additional six months from today?s date.  These delays are due to workload factors not related to your constituent?s case.  USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in the order received and in a timely and efficient manner.  We regret any inconvenience that results from delays in processing."

 

Basically a bunch of #######!!! useless waste of time and ressources.

 

my PD is July 17, still no action!!!

At least yours was semi-readable. I just got one back from my congressman's office that a whole bunch of wrong information, didn't answer my question, and had horrible spelling and grammatical mistakes. (It seriously says "weight time". #######?)

Wonderful news Megan! Way overdue and it pisses me off when I hear people bitching about waiting for 2 or 3 months and you have been waiting this long. Congratulations!

Well, we were prepared for about 5-6 months for the initial approval, so we didn't start worrying until that time frame came and went. Unfortunately, because we were willing to wait the normal amount of time, it meant that by the time we started trying to make waves, they had already built up that massive backlog. We had planned, based on all available evidence, that it would take 8-9 months total. Instead it was 9 1/2 months to my I130 approval. And here we still sit. Still haven't gotten our visa. Still haven't seen my husband. Not that I think it's going to help, but I'm going to write my representatives some letters demanding an explanation for this bullshit. And I'm going to update the writer I interviewed with for the NY Times. The fact that anyone from March is still waiting is pure insanity.

Contact your other Senators, and congress people. And the Ombudsman. And SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov .  If you've gotten beyond a year, you can also look up a lawyer and research a writ of mandamus.

Please write back to them and tell them that we were told specifically that transferring our cases to a service center would not further delay the adjudication of your case, and that does not appear to be the case.  (If you want, I'll send you a link to the press release.)
