NBC's new processing time: 12 months :/

usually teh newest processing time is 2 months old when it is published. So i will not care about what they publish

Does that mean that your file was transferred to a local office or was it processed at the NBC?
I'm a little confused now

Did you receive a text or an email that your file was transferred at some point prior to the approval?
My file is in Overland Park also.
Let's hope we all get approvals soon.

Someone shared this link here

Does this apply to us? Is it real?




Oh yeah buddy, it does apply! Another 3 months of processing and waiting assuming all the paperwork is ready and correct!!!

it sounds like NBC started transferring petitions for April now. I've seen couple posts about April 1st PD transferred today to Nebraska and Texas.

Hang in there guys, it is moving. May be not as fast as we want it to be, but at lease we can see progress now!

Good luck to all of us!!!

Hi to all. I just found this forum today, I've been reading every single post for the past 3 hours. I am an i-130 July filer. Priority date July 29. A lawyer helped me file and send everything and I have my MSC case number already. I checked my status and it's on "Initial Review"
I've only received one mail since I've send the package (receipt of 420 fee and msc number)
Is this normal?
I feel devastated, in agony. I can never sleep well sad.png I miss my husband terribly.

About the lawyer who helped, sometimes I feel like he did something wrong? Or we didn't send some kind of important information? Like a sponsor, I don't have one, is it necessary? Is it required?

If I have a case number, does this mean everything was done right?

What should I do next? I read somewhere here that there was a why to speed the process. What will they ask me for next? I'm so afraid sad.png








Good morning,

I am a July Filer and so far I only received one mail also.

The waiting just started. We are looking into February or March 2014 before we are approved unless a miracle happens.

The fact that you used a lawyer further assures you that there are no mistakes or errors on your filing.

Hang in there and be patient, we will all get there a some point!

Well, if an RFE doesn't come at the USCIS stage, i'd still attach the evidence to the NVC package so they have it before the interview. See, the thing with having an ex-wife also brought in on an immigrant visa by you - i think people (adjudicators) may start wondering what it is that makes you bring women over. So if i were you i'd try to mitigate it at an early stage. It's not like you can bring in another one and another one and another one and noone wlll ever start to wonder, you know?

Thank you very much for your post. You really made me laugh when you said: " It's not like you can bring in another one and another one and another one.."

I'm not trying to man. Actually I had to pay an arm and a leg for my ex for divorce. I'm only trying to have a peacful life!!!!

Since you didn't really answer i'll ask too: why didn't you provide it? And if you were convinced you shouldn't why ask now? I'm just curious. It didn't appear such a big effort to me and i thought it's better to be on the safe side. Just wondering why people decide not to.

I was thinking that it was not needed since I did not need it the first time a filed the I-130 for my ex wife.

But after reading some the horror stories in this forum, it got me thinking for a little bit and I just wondered if there is anything I can do now.

at the end, it is what it is, I hope I don't needed any proofs, but if they deem it necessary and they send me an RFE, I have plenty of stuff to send them, no worries! I just don't want to extend my waiting time!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2013-11-11 13:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't provide what the instructions listed for the I-130, page 3 points D-J, which are all about proof of the relationship.  That same information is not required for the I-129F ( other than the marriage certificate ) since an I-130 must be completed first.

 

We may know we love our spouses, but Immigration requires proof.

 

Here is a little background:

this is the second I-130 I'm filing.

the first one I filed was in 2006 for my ex.

i did not send any proofs also with that one and USCIS did not ask for any proofs.

 

I'm only asking the question this time because I'm divorced, I sent a copy of the divorce decree as required with the I-130 (divorce happened in the USA after 4 years of marriage).

Did you provide the marriage certificate?

I sent a copy of the marriage certificate with a translation from a sworn translator.

Question for you guys,

When I filed I-130 and I-129F for my wife, I did not include any "proof" of bona fide marriage. I know I am married to my wife and I know I love her.

Do you guys think this could be an issue later on?

if so, is there anythjing I can do now to resolve it since I'm on initial review (i'm a July 2013 filer)?

Thanks

I filed I-130 (PD 07/17/2013) and then I filed I-129F (K3, NOA1 on 07/26/2013). I called USCIS yesterday and was told that both applications are at the MO NBC. They also told me that I-129F processing time is about 6 months.

But from I reaqd in here, I guess both applications are coupled and processing will happen at teh same time following I-130 processing time.

I still have hope I-129F will be approved soon, I'm on the 4th month of the presumed 6, we'll keep you posted

Ugh, my MIL had a seizure today. We don't know what's going on with her, but she had a TIA a few years back, so I'm actually pretty worried about her health. If it deteriorates any more, we're going to wind up having to go back to NL for a little while.

Hope she is ok!

I'll keep you in my prayers! You've been a big help to all of us here!!!

They just better start digging in to the backlog that they transferred....  I had to unsubscribe from May, June and July because it makes me sick to see the approvals.  Nothing against the filers... its the USCIS and the process

 

I feel your pain lady! I would be mad at the world if they start approving August, September filers before they are done with July and before

Costa Rica has a horrible mail system so anything having to do with the visa has to be picked up.   I am sure its instructions. 

 

 

 

Like tico said, everything has to be picked up.  It's probably our interview letter along with instructions and such.

 

 

I will let you know!!

 

Thanks you ladies and good luck to all of us!!!!!!!!!!

@LoveMyTico: was your interview date moved up as well or is it still the same?

If I miss the cut-off, I won't be too bummed about it as I already expected it to be this way.

 

In other news, there's flash flooding happening right now and every road leading home is closed due to water :/ Once the rain ends, wind gusts up to 40mph will arrive. My focus right now is not needing to file a homeowner's insurance claim!

 

I hope you make it home safe and sounds and everything is ok!!!!!

Thank you! That makes total sense. I'm counting on an August interview at this stage, all I can think is we missed the cut-off by one business day - I told my husband a few months ago that's probably what would happen! I'll be shocked if I squeak by (I highly doubt it, though)!

 

Samething happened to me last May. I got CC on 15-May and the last interview scheduled for Morocco (reported in VJ) was 15-May for June. I had to wait until end of May for a July interview.

I hope this does nto happen to you this time and you still get a July interview!!! Good luck!!!!!!!
