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

I wish I had something good to report.. but I just talked to a tier 2.  My case is still at the TSC.  They touched my file only to send me a letter in respose to my annoying coorespondence . ( a phone call to them on January 31st)  So its probably one of those letters saying my case is still in process. Wait 180 days !

 

What a waste of time.

 

I wihs it was a real "touch".

Anyway, I pray for you and for all of us stuck at the BS processing centers!!!!!!!!

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

so I received a text this morning with an update to my K-3 ( almost had a heart attack)

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER TRANSFER... funny thing is, the K-3 was transferred to TSC back on Nov 27th and was with the I-130.  I wonder what they are doing with it?  Maybe its getting closed or maybe its getting processed and they haven't done anything with my I-130 yet.  Which is fine with me

 

Anybody else get another tranfer for a K-3?

 

 

 

The last processing action taken on your case


Receipt Number: MSC149XXXXXX


Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)


Your Case Status: Initial Review


The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.


During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.
















 

 

I hope this is good!

I've seen in VJ a transfer from NBC to NSC and then from NSC to TSC for I-130 filer.

A bit strange but I hope they are moving files out of NSC

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

If I file now 1-129F/K3 VISA they will end up sending to CSC, TSC, OR VSC, as of now my file is at NSC, which they don't do I-129f/ K3 VISA.

 

I know they don't process I-129F (K3) in NBSC, but my I-129F (K3) is in NBSC, coupled with my I-130.

 

I this point, just wait for your I-130, you are almost there!

 

in the other hand, you loose nothing by doing I-129F, so by all means......


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-06 13:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

That's the part I don't understand. if k3 is 5 months than you should have been on NVC stage, but it has been 10 months!!!!! . All I know is when I talked to idiots they told me that if you file I-130 with K3 which ever first comes will be approved. so I didn't bother to file it. I feel bad for you sad.png   it should have been approved in 5 months.Oh God Please help us,

 

my I-129F (K3) is more than 5 months now, 6 months and 8 days to be exact.

A BIG NOTHING! they move at the same time,a nd they move per the I-130 pace.

 

Now, if it is time to adjudicate them and there is a problem with the I-130 (RFE), the might go through all the way if there are no problems with it

this is the response I got from my congressman office what do you guys think this is the inquiry made on my behalf


Mr. ********* petition is being prepared to be sent to an officer for final review.  Through concerted efforts, USCIS is now adjudicating U.S. citizens immediate relative Forms I-130 which were transferred between USCIS centers 60-90 days from receipt. 


 

were you tansferred to Nebraska BS Center?

Is it true that tier 2's only accept calls at certain times of the day. I called in and asked if I could speak with a tier 2 and the lady told me that  they don't accept calls at that particular time. I called them 12:30pm eastern

 

BS, Call again and ask to be transferred!

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

WOW... WOW   WOW ...  unbelieveable... it makes me so sick

 

I will keep calling...  EFFFFF THEM.  The sentors office told me it is an ongoing problem with the rudeness of the customer service lines. 

 

YES, I will keep calling SINCE I am out of the processing times

YES, I will hold them to the 60 days notice they sent with the transfer.

 

I wonder if I will have better luck with someone at Allyson Schwartz's office in Jenkintown?? 

They were horrible back in 2008.  

 

They are still the same.

I called them back in November and they did an inquiry for me. The answer of course was "it will take six additional months".

I called them again last week and the lady remembered me. She said:"I remember last itme they said an additional six months. SInce it hasn't been six months, I'm comfident nothing is changed and they will say the same thing". She did not even bother reading the fax I sent her.

I was like: did you read the fax? she said no. I said: then read it!

and when she did, she was like: ah, you want me to inquire about the service requests. I said: duhhhhhhhh

 

Basically, we are on our own on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nodody cares about us at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-03 09:40:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

WELL WELL WELL,  the Service request numbers did change and what BULLSHIT it truely is....    Way to go USCIS for trying to find ways to push usall out of the way to buy yourself some time.  AS IF I HAVEN'T WAITED LONG ENOUGH  TO GET A LOUSY APPROVAL ONLY TO WAIT SOME MORE BECAUSE ILLEGALS ARE SOOOO EFFING IMPORTANT !!!!   

 

"these service requests were filed on Jan 31st. We have 30 days to answer them"    REALLY???  #######??  they were incorrectly filed by your frigging employees... AND I still have to wait ANOTHER 30 days for someone to press a button and send me a generic email saying my case is PENDING?????   OMG   how many people do you think end up abandoning this process due to pure frustration???

 

I got the same message this morning from a rude stupid a$$ tier 2.

"we have 60 days after transfer to process an application. so, if it hasn't been 60 days yet, don't call us even if teh application is beyond posted processing time"

 

SR don't mean sh#$&!, just a useless way to make us feel better about them doing nothing!!!!!!

 

Way to go! F U USCIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have a plane on your ticker after transfer and Ihave a rocket on mine. I guess we were both hoping for a fast NOA2 after transfer, but I think we hit a road block.

I'll change mine to a turtle, hoping it'll undo the jinks.

Something to do while waiting: tic tac tic tac

I was transferred on 18 november

I wanted to update that we got our NOA2 on Dec. 29. We filed for an expedite on Dec. 11. On to NVC. Good luck to the April filers.

 

I guess you are way ahead of us in time! we are still on Dec 22 here is the USA! lol

 

Did you mean the 19th?

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

How did you find out it was transferred to Texas??? I have the below listed emails (four to be exact), but none state where the paperwork is:


1.  Arrived 27 Nov.   ...On November 27, 2013, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to another office for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. ...
 
2. Arrived 29 Nov.   ...On November 29, 2013, we transferred your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, to  your local USCIS Office for further processing.  The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed. ...

 

3.  Arrived 2 Dec. ...On November 27, 2013, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to another office for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.  ....

 

4.  Arrived 3 Dec.(a few hours ago)...The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office.

 

Kind of funny.  maybe they just pass it around in circles for awhile.  So when somebody enters a key into their computer, it flags a messege.  Hopefully the last one means it is now on a DESK!!! with a REAL PERSON!!!!

 

Hope your enjoying your time!!!


REAL PERSON? I did not think USCIS have real people working for them! I think they are just bunch of machines moving paperwork around with no kind of sense or may be a sense that nobody understands but them! LOL


etrangaisMaleMorocco2013-12-03 17:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Ok, here is my timeline;

 

15th April 13   Application received at Phoenix Lockbox
17th April 13   NOA1 issued (form I-797c) assigned to National Benefits Centre, Missouri (MSC). Letter included case nos for I-130 and I-129f
7th May13    Alien Reg no. changed on I-130
14th Nov 13   Transferred to another office (E-mail)
15th Nov 13  Transferred to local office (E-mail)
19th Nov 13  Transferred to a USCIS office for processing (E-mail)
19th Nov 13  Received hard copy of e-mail sent on 19th - including statement that case is being processed at Nebraska
26th Nov 13  Alien reg no changed on I-129f






 

Can anyone shed any light on why the alien no on the I-129f has been changed? (We submitted I-130 and I-129f simultaneously)

was the I-129F for a K3? because you need a copy of the receipt # of the I-130 for that?

 

Anyway, the Alien # change is just a bogus message that lots of people get. I got that 2 weeks after I sent in my I-129F.

Basically in your case, it means that somebody is wroking on your case, at least for the I-129F.

 

Good luck

usually it is a string of 3 emails that you should receive but it could be just one. The main source of information will be the hard copy of the transfer message.

 

After the transfer, we have seen approval in 2 or 3 weeks, but it could be up to 60 days as per the letter you will receive.

 

Good luck

That's true, i forgot that little "gem". Thanks for reminding me smile.png Speaking of NVC i get worried now if it's all going to start bottlenecking there too when the approvals pick up....

i thought usc should be faster...? or at the very least the same? ... oh well, i can't wrap my head around this any more, it's basically a ####### shoot i guess. blink.png

you would think that. I was under the same impression also.

I-130 filed by LPR have a 5 month processing time. It takes usually around 3 months for them to get processes. 

Once they (LPR) reach NVC, it is a different story, they could wait for more than a year for a visa number to be available.

edit: several cases after mine approved, or card is in the mail..... OMG!!!! #######!!!!!

most likely the cases are LPR and not USC.

Hey, I feel the same way as you.cray5ol.gif. What else we can do just waiting and waiting because they have family here so they don't even care. All they care is they should get paid and do shopping and let our family stay far away from us. They will do only if they feel to do it... I guess.mad.gif. I miss my wifecrying.gif

Guys, it is not the employees that are responsible, they do as told!

am I reading this correctly?

well, Im at 7 months now.  They have started to transfer April files.....KNOCK ON WOOD  but I don't see it taking 4 more months for a USCIS approval.  Im kinda worried about the NVC timeframe tho.....  

 

 

But like I said

 

 

KNOCK ON WOOD

I think the process will get a little streamlined now with USCIS, but the bottle neck will be the NVC with the exponential number of approved petitions they will be getting!

Also, it is the holiday seasons! so, expect more delays with short staffing!!!!!

There was an approval on the 15th for a July filer. The approval was from NBC.
No, he was not a DCF nor an expedite. Just a regular filer.
So it sounds like the NBC is approving petitions now
