Has anyone received a Notice for RFE, or an interview, after a case was transferred from VSC to CSC?

 I m confused now....
I saw a few postings saying that actually the people getting approved it s people that has been transferred to the CSC.... and now I see u r saying the people that was transferred haven t been approved yet???
Could someone clarify this????
And CONGRATS to the 2 people that got approved!!!!! to what center did you send the papers?? were you transferred at any point????
I cannot wait for this immigration journey to be over!!




If you look at the CSC list, you will see that people who are getting approved are the ones whose cases were not transferred from VSC.
On the VSC list, no one is approved yet.
Also, everyone whose cases have been transferred from VSC to CSC, have not been approved yet.

I noticed that none of the cases that have been transferred so far, since April, have been approved yet.
Whereas, cases that have been approved already ( in some cases, within 2 months for some July filers) have not gone through a transfer at all.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsExpedite Approved

I also requested an expedite. A tier 2 informed me the expedite was approved and is now waiting on the expedite team to review. I took that to mean waiting for approval, RFE or Denial. I was also told it's taking 30-60 days. The tier 2 lady was very kind and did say that this expedite is only for this office, I would need to contact both NVC and the embassy and informed them or request an expedite. Good look to us all.

 

On what basis did you request an expedite? Was it due to the security threat in Kenya?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

It takes about a month to get a case #. But the rest of the process varies from case to case. It essentially depends on you, and how fast (or slow) you fill out forms, pay the fees and send your packages. smile.png

yes thats about the answer I got from them. Its pretty vague...

I just want to know approximately so my wife can start working if she isnt coming for a few months....I havea ll the forms/payments ready, I am just waiting for approvals from the NVC. Any idea? Are we looking at 2 months, 4 months, 8 months?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

I called the NVC two days ago and was told it is taking up to 8 weeks to enter the application into the system! I followed up asking her what is an approximate turn around time for the entire process, they refused to answer me and said it can take up to 8 months! This sounds absolutely ridiculous! NVC received our package on 02/05/14

 

Are others hearing the same timeline?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Response Time

I wanted to see if anyone has advice for how to contact NVC. My wife's petition is at NVC, they sent a letter on May 14th stating that I re-sign one page of the application. One that same letter it says they will respond within 20 business days. Well, 20 business days have passed and we have not received any word from them.

 

My lawyer has been calling and has emailed twice (a week ago) with no response. Anyone have any recommendations on how to get in touch with them? Is this a normal occurrence (NVC responding late)

 

My wife and I are starting to get extremely frustrated at this point -- our priority date for I-130 is 05/07/2013, it has been over a year. :(

 

Any recommendations would be great.

 

Thanks

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

Our congressman replied yesterday that he has put forward an official inquiry on why our case was sent to a place that was not even open and why they have exceeded the 60 day timeline, which they themselves have announced. We'll see if this inquiry amounts to anything, one can always hope...

 

Hi Ellinora, I am a little confused... why is your timeline 60 days? Isnt the standard timeline for CR1 about 180 days?

 

Good luck! Hope the Congressman helps!

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

^ If she needs to be there by January, perhaps you need to apply for a student visa? I got my student visa within two months.

 

 

 

I was advised by the lawyers that its better to apply through CR-1. If the student visa gets rejected, it pretty much ruins her chance of getting a CR-1 so they said go the safe route and just do CR-1 from the start.


nirav325MaleKenya2013-08-24 15:40:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 I-130 Filers

She is enrolled with a student visa or enrolled in hopes you will have her here by january? Because I don't want to sound like a negative nancy....but that is cutting it VERY close given how things have gone so far. Also, congress really can't do much besides make a congressional inquiry which is basically like talking to a tier 2. (I know from experience)

 

She is already enrolled with hopes to have her here in Jan. She is not coming via Student Visa but by CR-1

My lawyer told be approx 6 months from USCIS to process and the interview will be within a month or two in Kenya (as they do not have a long wait time like India)

 

Seems like that is not a correct timeline :-/

My wife's priority date is 05/07/2013 and we have not heard anything back since NOA1 on 05/07/2013.  :(

My wife currently lives in Nairobi, Kenya but she is enrolled in university for January 2014 (in Dallas, TX). Do you think we should contact our senator? 

 

Fingers crossed we get NOA2 soon!


nirav325MaleKenya2013-08-22 23:58:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresReason to request expedite? (split topic)

guys, my wife lives in Nairobi Kenya and is very scared due to the terrorist attacks just this week. We are both from Indian descent (she has a Kenyan passport and I am a US Citizen) and many Indians were specifically targeted in the attacks at Westgate.

 

I do not mean to take advantage of the terrible situation, but do you believe her security would count as grounds for an expedite? We received our NOA1 in May 2013 and it seems like it will be May 2014 (according to other people on the forum) before she will have all the paperwork completed. We are both worried that the situation in Nairobi will continue to get worse and her life will be in danger.

 

Please let me know what you think as you have experience with expedites.

 

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFINALLY! NOA2

Finally 8 days before hitting 6 months of our petition being sent I received the long waited text and email. We were approved!!! I had just emailed the director of service center operations and chief of staff earlier today. Dont know if it was that or reaching out to our congressman and senator, the email or just our turn. Doesn't matter at this point just happy this part is over.

To the TSC December, January and February filers its coming soon. Get on their case, call, email and get your senator involved. You dont lose anything by doing it.

Best of luck to all!!



Hey ejai is there a way u could send me a sample of the email u sent and compare it to mine pls. If u could send it to ms_stephanie11@yahoo.com

Hopefully by august ending, march filers should be getting approvals.
My question is why is filipinos getting a quick approval just a curiosity.
from my understanding, I think fast approval is based on the beneficiary country, who has ur petition application. Just my own random thoughts or finding reasons y noa2 was delayed

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F, 5 month and still counting

For those still waiting look at our timeline. God Bless you and just keep the faith. We waited 7 months and 20 days for a response for our NOA2. We are now in the interview stage at the US Embassy in Peru. Our interview is scheduled for August 11. Today was the medical all went well. The Clinic promised us the results by August 8th so we are good to go. I know this is torture to experience such a long period of waiting but in time you will be approved and then watch out it goes very fast.

 

 

Thank you for ur kind words. Those of us going thru this process, it is not ez whether we lived together with our fiancés or not, it all balls down to being with ur loved one and start a family. We don't needs any discouragement or baffling words. We need to encourage each others  in this long process time and in due time, everything will be a past stories.

Thanks twofers for ur kind words.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F, 5 month and still counting

 

Hey neighbor (From Denton). 

I catch myself getting down, a lot since I have now been waiting since January. I called right when I got to the 5 month mark and that's when the date was updated to 5.5 months. Then called again and again when I was outside of that. Unfortunately, USCIS customer service only tells us what we see online, nothing more. TSC is way behind. But a few people timeline shows they got there NOA2, who cases is after Dec. 17, 2013. So that's kinda good news.

 

We are so close to the TSC, some days I just want to go up there and yell at someone. 

 

The link will give you an idea on the processing time. 

http://www.visajourn...nt/k1historical

 

Talked to a lot of people about which visa to do, and they said this was the fastest. Just our luck huh. 

Don't give up, our time will come. 

 oh Ms. lady, thanks a lot. Amen to that. Our time will surely come and all this will be a forgotten history.


favor367Not TellingNigeria2014-08-05 14:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F, 5 month and still counting

First of all fill out your time line and you could probably get a better idea of how long the waits are at TSC.  :time:
 
It is ridiculous but realistically TSC is processing mid January to very early February filers right now. Take a look at Igor;s list (http://www.visajourn...tion=3&sortby=2) and you can get an idea of what petitions are currently being processed according to when NOA 1 was received. Take a look at the January or February TSC threads (http://www.visajourn...09#entry7166947 or http://www.visajourn...18#entry7167188) and you can see that there are many many people still waiting that filed before you. If you see any approvals for filers that submitted applications after your March submission then they were either processed at the California Service Center, the beneficiary was from the Philippines, or there was an approved expedite. 
 
Some people feel that getting senators and what not involved help to speed up the process. I'm not one of those people. But I'm sure it couldn't hurt. USCIS won't really listen to you or anyone else unless you are outside the posted processing time which is currently December 17th as you mentioned. Although, everyone knows the posted processing times are bs. 
 
D






Well thanks, I will try to do the timeline. Don't come at me and start busting just trying to team up and strengthen those of us going thru this temporary hard love times together.

 
Offense taken. It is Filipino.

J journey, omg, I cant laugh. Haaaa offense taken. It is filipino..lol..
But thanks yall
 
I know it is a long process, but this will only make the relationship stronger. Just communicate everyday and never skip a beat.
 
Also Fiance Visa is faster

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F, 5 month and still counting

Ok, first of all, I would like to say, this is RIDICULOUS!. I filed for my fiancé back in March 2014, every months we felt like the NOA2 is coming soon, well. it has been 5 months and still counting, no NOA2. The worst part is, others filed after us and they have been approved. Another, the processing times states Dec 17, 2013, like SERIOUSLY.

 I contacted the Texas senates, both Cruz and Cronyn or wateva, they telling me what I had already know.  Nevertheless, my question,

 how long do we have to wait to get this process done. this should have been a quick and faster process. I even did  info pass, nothing forth coming.  I am tired of late crying, solo acting in the house, everything. If I had known, I could have gone and did the spouse since that is 5 months process.

Anyone feeling  the same issue I am experiencing.  Well since the senates cant do much neither can the infopass B.S.

any tips, ideas, anyone.

I found this very interesting. we do not need to submit an affidavit of support? According to the USCIS website, it states:

Affidavit of Support For Fiancé(e), Spouse, or Child as a ?K? Nonimmigrant

If your relative is either a ?K-1? fiancé(e), a ?K-3? spouse, or a ?K-2? or ?K-4? child of fiancé(e) or spouse, you do not need to submit an affidavit of support at the time you file your Form I-129F petition. Instead, you should submit an affidavit of support at the time that your fiancé(e), spouse, or child adjusts status to permanent resident after coming to the United States.

No.. You don't need case number.. I already did it. It didn't require me to have case number.
We didn't get text message. But when I checked the website, it says it's already shipped. Try to check again
That's true.. No need for case number..

My fiance lives in london, but while in london, he overstayed his visit and his visa expired. Now I have gone to visit him  twice already. According to the uscis req' we must have met within 2 yrs in person, in which we did while his visa was expired. Now starting the whole process,  can i provide passport pages of me visiting him in london or does he have to return to his homeland country and revisit him  and start the whole process from there. my fear is if i should state i visited him in london, they might want to ask his passport when he goes for interview and the passport will shows he overstayed and when h return back to his homeland country. I am confused, i dont know what to do. 
 Also, i visited him back in 2004 in his homecountry, does that counts as  within 2 yrs of meeting each other?
Also, i bought a airlin ticket to visit his parnts in his homeland conutry, i hav the ticket and all that but i actually was unable to travel due to work reasons.  can i still snd my ticket stub to the immigration or would they want to see my stamp passport that i actually went, not just having the ticket flight stub?

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Without Visa

If by "came here without a visa" you mean "came here on the visa waiver program" then it's a relatively straightforward Adjustment of Status filing. If by "came here without a visa" you mean "sneaked over the border" then there's nothing he can do without leaving the country and waiting a while.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Canadian Citizen removed with 5 year ban - unique situation

I don't care what the government says.  That's why we're so screwed up in this country now economically.  If people want to help somebody out and don't want to charge for it, who is the government to tell them they can't?  Whatever happened to FREEDOM and allowing people to make their own choices in life?

 

Well, what if I am an employer in a field that many people want to work in, and lots of college students are so desperate to "get their foot in the door" of the industry that they are willing to work for free just to get some experience on their resume? What if I find out that so many people are willing to do this that it turns out that I no longer need to hire entry-level employees. There are a number of lawsuits over just this sort of thing going through the fashion and publishing industries where "unpaid interns" had pretty much entirely replaced entry-level employment. If you are a business and people are doing labor for you that brings benefit to you, you need to pay them. If he can't pay them in cash, he should at least be offering them an equity stake in the business (which is how startups typically do it.)

Webman said he had two other people, US Citizens, doing the work for free too.

 

Wait, so Webman's friend is also violating US minimum wage laws? (Hint: The government tends to look unkindly at people "volunteering" at for-profit enterprises.)

In addition to what other posters have said about work being work whether or not you get paid for it, the US tends to look unkindly towards people "volunteering" for profit-making enterprises and sees it as a circumvention of minimum-wage laws.

United KingdomEducation System - UK compared to US?

Having been a teacher, I don't agree if you are blaming under-performance on the teachers. I've been the white teacher in an all black ghetto school and taught the richest kids in town at another. There's a lot more to it than the teacher.


I'm not blaming the teachers and my experience has led me to believe that good students make good schools and not the other way around, but a good teacher is more likely to be able to get the job teaching APs in a rich suburb and less likely to have to teach remedial classes in the ghetto unless he chooses to. That having been said, the major point I was making is that the reasons that poor districts provide poor educations has little to do with funding.
