IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 

Thanks for the quick response........the 2 different dates had me wondering if I had gotten transferred at all or if there had been an error somewhere..  This whole process can drive a person crazy.

The first text/email is generated when the petition is scanned out

the 2nd when it leaves NBC and the 3rd one when it is received and scanned at the receiving service center

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

what is going on?  On 2/3 I receive 2 text and an email saying my I-130 was transferred.  I just now received another text saying my status was updated and to check "my case status" at uscis.  When I checked it, it says my I-130 was transferred on 2/5 to my local office. 

 

did this happen to anyone else?   so when was it transferred?  the 3rd or the 5th.....this is BS!!!

 

the transferred started on the 3rd.

You will get another text/email when it will be received at destination (CSC, TSC or NSC). The 60-day clock starts ticking then.

 

Good luck

I don't we will see any transfers today.

NBC is closed today due to inclement weather. 4 - 6 inches of snow in the forcast.

So it looks like they did some of the 9th today. What about the 5-6-7th? Are they still skipping some?
 
I wonder if we get any more tomorrow?

 

I told you to wait till after 7:00PM ET

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

 

So something is happening...... something...... not August transfers, why after 7pm ET?

 

it seems like they have "somebody" entering all the transfer data at once.

We've seen the same pattern in April, May, June and July threads.

 

it is usualy 6 or 7 pm before you see any transfers.

Just hold tight!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

Exactly!!!!!we are driving ourselves crazy ONLY for a transfer!i guess this is what happened when people play with our lives and loved ones..

If I could I would def go with DCF unless probably I would get approved this/next week(which at this point would be a miracle)

 

you'll find out about transfers after 7 PM ET.

 

There were some approvals in the May 2013 thread

Hey guys...I have a question...a dilemma if you will...well, probably girls will be able to answer better lol

So... ive come to the realization that he def wont be here by my due date, although I don't like to admit it.  When he is born, I will need to get him a passport ASAP.  Regardless of how quickly I work, I will still need to wait for the passport which they say 6-8 weeks.  Mine took 4 but still.  Dominican Rep is a high fraud country and they say the spouse not present is visa suicide blah blah blah .....well If I don't quickly get his passport and they issue our cita, im screwed.  THEN what the heck do I do??  I have heard SOME people go there alone and leave with a visa, but not all.   this is all  getting more and more scary.  All this waiting screwed up everything!

 

you can get a passport in 2 days if you need to! you'll have to make an appointment and go to the office with all you paperwork and plane tickets!!!

 

An expedite will get it for you in 2 weeks also. An extra 60$ fee and 12.5$ overnight service!!!

etrangaisMaleMorocco2013-12-09 10:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

Hey guys! I sent my I-130 priority date 8/29/2013 and my I-129F  for a K-3 on 9/11/2013 has anyone heard any updates my case was located to the national benefits center. I had my congress man due a inquiry on October the 16th and they stated that six months after that day my case will be approved which means mid March. I also did my own iquery a few weeks ago about the i-129 F they said that they are working on May 2013 and it will be my turn in mid Febuary which seems accurate that is five months. Anyone can relate to these stats? I also checked out National Benefits Centers time line they are working on Febuary 2013 which means for the past two months they have done Oct-Jan. My patience is running on a low I miss my husband and will not be able to see him till June if he doesnt get approved by than. I cant take anytime off of work to go to Kosova sad.png

 

I hate to burst your buble but here are some facts:

 

Actually the wait time is more than the 7.4 months shown in the USCIS.gov website.

We have people here that are still waiting since February, so it is about 9 months right now. Furthermore, the expedite put in place for Fillipines filers may (or may not) slow things down even more.

 

In the other hand, you never know, we have seen some crazy things happen here, some filers got approved within couple of weeks.

 

So, my advise to you is: be patient and keep your cool. I applied in July, and I'm "patiently" waiting my turn.

 

For the K3, it seems (and that's from a tier 2) that I-129F gets attached to the I-130 petition and they travel at the same speed. Once the I-130 gets adjudicated, the !-129F gets canceled. So I will not have high hopes for the K3. I myself filed a I-129F for a K3 but i'm not holding hodling my breath on that.

 

Good luck.

I can't imagine how frustrating that would be. All I can offer is I hope you get an approval very soon!

 

Actually, that post is dated 26 Feb at 10:20 AM.

Ironicaly, I got approved that same day around 01:00PM. I am done USCIS and NVC process now. Just waiting for an interview date to be scheduled.

Good luck everybody

It's called job satisfaction.

 

I was stuck in Nebraska BS Center my self for almost two months, when California was handing out approvals like candy!

 

I'm pretty sure USCIS officials look at the numbers at some point, this is clearly a performance issue. But why should customers pay the price for it?


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-17 13:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsALL Nebraska I-130 Filers

I'm pretty sure this will freak out some people:

I have no idea why USCIS is transferring petitions to Nebraska BullShi! Center?

as of January 31, 2014, the backlog was:

Nebraska: 97.232

Vermont: 26.599

Texas: 21.296

California: 9.410

 

This is really ridiculous and unfair to people!!!!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsALL Nebraska I-130 Filers

i am a New Years filer with NOA1 ... Jan 9th ... in the Nebraska Service Center. My wife and child are in the Philippines and were involved in the horrible typhoons at the end of last year. The USCIS newletter says they are expediting applications of those affected (http://www.visajourney.com/news/) (november 18th posting). I filed and check the updates daily as well as others Philippine families processed through Neb. Service center

 

(http://www.visajourn...&dfile=No&adv=0)

 

My comment/complaint/moan/groan - WHY and  HOW are people filing NOA1 and getting NOA2 ..... soooooo fast. Some (several actually) as soon as 2 or 3 weeks. And many filed AFTER me (mel and kevin)

 

WHAT can i DO ?

 

Can i call someone or file a form/application for expedition ?  Any phone numbers anyone can provide ?

 

I am going crazy here. Really ! My baby is about to celebrate her 4th birthday... without DAD - its going to kill me !!!

 

Any help or input is appreciated .....

 

 

Kevin ....

 

Call uscis and ask to be transferred to tier 2 (immigration officer). They should be able to help you with an expedite.

Or you can call your senator or congressman's offices and have them help you with the expedite.

Good luck

Inchaalah they will receive it soon, take what ever they give you  and roll with the punches.
i too was wondering about K3, i can't bear to be away from my baby that long, i guess frequent trips to lblad.


It's kinda crazy! This whole process is awful! And going to lblad is not really an easy thing right now

Just for the sake of accuracy, the government did not pass this;  in fact similar bills that had been tried previously were all roundly defeated in Congress.  This was Obama all by himself, doing one of his now-famous end-runs around Congress.  ranting33va.gif   http://en.wikipedia....rivals#Politics

 

Thanks for the clarification!

At the end , it is the same outcome as far as we are concerned!

@etrangais what does d the DACA renewals means and when will it happen


@etrangais what does d the DACA renewals means and when will it happen


 

DACA: Deffered Action for Childhood Arrivals.

The gouvernement passed a bill to allow illegal immigrants who entered USA as kids (with their illegal immigrants parents) to file for deffered action on deportation.

So, when USCIS got floaded with petitions from DACA, they took ressources away from I-130 petitions filed by US citizens for spouses and parents to process DACA petitions, hence creating a huge backlog of I-130's.

 

The DACA renewals are starting to hit USCIS again, and God only knows what effect that will have on all other petitons.

 

You can always search teh keyword "DACA" online for more info

@ etrangais but I saw some other December k3 filers applications transferred to California and received their Noa2 s in a month.

 

The I-130's must have been approved at the same the time!!!!!!!

My noa for my i130 is December 31 2013 and after a Week i applied for 129f they both directly went to Nebraska. My alien registration number was changed on January.
As I understand they send the k3 s to California if they are going to process it since my both applications are still in nsc I think my k3 will go to trash. But how do they choose which k3 s they wanna process?? Does anybody have any ideas?

 

All I-129F petitions get matched up with the corresponding I-130 and they get adjudicated at the same time.


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 17:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsALL Nebraska I-130 Filers

I am also a nov filers got my noa1  nov 24 and i was transfer directly to nebraska and ever since then i have heard nothing and nothing has being changed .....waiting waiting wating.... nebraska service is slow as snail like my friend told me

Actually, they are not slow at all!

The problem is that NBC transferred a huge number of petitions to Nebraska.

If you look at the numbers in www.uscis.gov monthly update, Nebraska processed 57,000 petitions in one month, that is second to California by a small number.

So they are pretty fast but they have a huge backlog!!!!

 

I just hope that you guys don't get caught with the DACA renewals again! they are due for renewal now!!!!!!!!!

I've got the feeling that they transfer cases partially depending on where you live and sometimes depending on what month you applied.

 

We tried to make sense of the transfer for months now and nobody seemed to understand the way they do it.

Also, they never keep the same pattern!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsALL Nebraska I-130 Filers

We are Nebraska Filers as well (12/30/2013) I check it 2 times a day. And today it went from 8.5 months to 9 months.  I am watching timelines and waiting. But I am not sure what is going on with the Immigration paper work and all the naturalization that has been going on. We ( meaning all of us on Visa Journey) are doing this the legal way and have to wait 9 months to even have our cases looked at?  Does that 9 months include if they need to Request more evidenceor is that from the time they get the I130 and by the time we get to be in our loved ones arms or just for USCIS to transfer it from Nebraska to NVC  then to the local consulate for our interview? I know all of us just want to go and be with the ones we love, it is just so hard to wait and not have any kind of timeline base it on. I am in Canada, and this winter has been very cold, very snowy and nothing would make me happier then to just cuddle up to my Husband to get a good night sleep. 

Nebraska now is working on June and July applications.

You still have to wait!!!

I'm a June 2013 filer, got transfer notice in December and the 60 day letter.  I have called 4 times in the past 3 weeks, each time with a different outcome.  

 

Last time I called was 2 weeks ago and I was given the same answer: They are currently processing apps from april 5, and your application is "in process". 

 

 

 

You need to talk to a Tier 2, not just teh people who answer the phone.

They are not much help either but at least you get better answers

The Alien registration number was changed on my I-129F back in August, two weeks after I filed it.

But now, from what I saw the last 4 months, when teh Alien registration number is changed after months and months of wait, it is the sign of a soon approval, usually same day or next day.


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 11:59:00

I'm a July filer (I-130 and I-129F). Petitions transferred to Nebraska Bullshi! Center January 2nd.

STILL WAITING.

I got this email this morning:

"Thank you for your recent inquiry about your I-129F petition.

 

USCIS records show that this case was received by the National Benefits Center (NBC) on July 26, 2013.  The case was then transferred to the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) on January 6, 2014.

 

At this time the case is assigned to an officer.  Although assigned, we cannot predict the date the case may actually receive review.

 

If you have not received a decision or other notice of action on this case within 60 days from the date of this email, please contact us for an update.

 

The National Customer Service Center?s toll free number is 1-800-375-5283 or you may access the CIS web site at www.uscis.gov should you have any further questions or need additional information.

 

Thank you,

 

USCIS/Nebraska Service Center

I know it has been "assigned to an officer" at least two weeks now since I already got a similar email two weeks ago.
