I guess I need to withdraw from the "July thread last man standing" competitions.

 

Good luck with the approvals guys! Hang in there! Almost there!!!

I wonder if you got approved because of the inquiry you made? There are other July filers who were transferred prior to you and they are all still waiting. 

 

How did you make a service request?

 

I think what helped is that I filed I-129F 10 days after I-130.

So I was calling Tier 2 and having them put is service requests for I-129F outside of processing time (started calling after 5 month and half of I-129F NOA1).

I agree, I haven't seen any July approvals from Nebraska. 

 

Congrats etrangals. 

 

I'm only 1 day behind you with the transfer, I just really hope I get it soon! 

 

 

 

Thanks man and good luck!


 

Great, congrats again! You should def. celebrate dancin5hr.gif dancin5hr.gif dancin5hr.gif dancin5hr.gif .

 

Proof of bona fide relationship is optional per my understanding and is not required during the submission of i130. They may ask for proofs during an interview. Good luck with rest of the process.

 

Thank you very much! an dgood luck to you!!

Many congrats to you!!! This certainly gives me a lot of hope as I was transferred to Nebraska yesterday. My PD is 09/09.

 

Just want to make sure you didn't expedite your case? If not then you are probably the first July transfer who got approved at NSC.

 

No expedite at all! ordinary case!

I was expecting an RFE, because I did not send any proofs of a bona fide relationship, but I guess they did not need it!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 15:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

Both my I-130 and I-129F got approved today from Nebraska!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm so happy and relieved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks to Allah!!!!!!!

 

I pray for the rest of you guys waiting!

May Allah grant you your approvals soon, very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've paid all my fees and as of today, I've submitted all documents and forms. I should be getting a checklist for an error on my I-864, but I've already proactively submitted the correction so if there is no other mistake or missing information, I am just waiting for case complete!

 That is wonderful man! Hope all willbe fine and you get done soon!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 14:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

 

Its Nebraska.

 

 

You know how crazy things get in the rural midwest bro

 

They drove us crazy so far and they are still driving us nuts!!!!

 

I don't think it's them. But I think USCIS (NBC) transferred a huge number of I-130 petitions to Nebraska.

From looking at the numbers published, Nebraska is kind of buried right now in I-130's and they have been working at a descent pace so far


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 13:21:00

etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 12:54:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

I have a question, I had my i130 approved feb 8th, and have already submitted the i485. I just received notificacion from the i130 (?), and says the following:

we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. 

What does this mean? Btw, this is my i485 is for adjustment of status while in the US



 

Basically it means that USCIS just sent the approved I-130 to NVC.

Give it some time (a week or so) and start calling NVC.

 

Good luck

GUYS,

I just got this update now:

I hope the approval is coming shortly:

 

"On February 26, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

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."

 

Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God!!!! I'm about to start crying now!!!!!!!!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 11:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

This is what I got today from NBSC as a response to a service request:

 

"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."

 

I've been getting this "assigned to an officer" BS for almost two weeks now. God only knows when "the officer" will get to my petitions!!!!!!!!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-26 08:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

Someone pointed out to me earlier in another thread, that you should start counting 60 days after the received date by the service center. This can be found on the online profile, under the last updated date. 
 
So if you were transferred on january 2nd, when did nebraska receive it? I guess by 01-07 correct? 
 
Do u know if that person who was approved was in any way an expatiated beneficiary? 




He was a regular filer. No expedite. Nothing special

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

 

Just got off the phone with Tier 2.  No further information, but she did say that NSC is now working on May 20 petitions.  Gosh, while I was waiting for one hour to speak to them, they finished one whole month of petitions (see above).  So, by that rate of speed, I should get my NOA2 in two hours....  I won't be holding my breath.

 

She did say that we will have to wait two more months at NSC.  I was a bit testy with her, and she had nothing more to add.  

 

They can say whatever they want to say.

We have real data in VJ and we follow lots of cases. The petitions being processed in Nebraska BS Center currently were transferred in December up to 23rd so far.

I hope they get to the rest of December and then start January as soon as possible.

I'm a January 2nd transfer


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-25 20:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers


 

I'm still waiting, also, and have a July 11 NOA1.  I'm on hold right now, on the telephone, with USCIS level 2.  Level 1 said, Nebraska SC is still working on April 13, so they still have three more months of petitions before they get to ours.  When I said that over half of July filers in our online community have reported NOA2's, his response was......  nothing.  

 

Visited USCIS field office several weeks ago.  Our dialogue, verbatim, was...

 

USCIS rep: You come here often.

Me: We've been waiting 7 months.

USCIS rep: That's normal.

Me: 'Normal' keeps changing.

USCIS rep: Wait here.

[USCIS rep returns]

USCIS rep: Your petition has been transferred to the NSC.

Me: I know.

USCIS rep: You have to wait.  It should be just a few more weeks.

[I leave]

Please let us know what Tier 2 says when you are done.


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-25 18:38:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

I got a letter today from USCIS as a response to a service request stating that my petitions are with an officer and that they can't tell me when a decision will be made.

I got a similar one 11 days ago stating the same thing.

 

They must take their sweet time adjudicating petitions in Nebraska BS Center

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

 

It is nice when you get a human Tier 2, to be fair I only have spoken to one once, a lovely lady who gave me the truth.... However, I was very calm and respectful to her, i bet she gets shouted at all day...... What grins my gears is when you get one that, even though you have been very respectful to, still sounds like the are rude and cannot be arsed!

 

To be fair, its not the tier 2's fault, its the management, they are probably as pissed off as us about it, however they are the face, the front line...

 

Its like immigration officials at POE, how many times have you met a happy one????? you should see them at the UK border, jobsworth ####*&^es who must be trained NOT to smile at you....

 

I like the "What grinds my gear", reminds of Family guy!!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-18 12:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

 

Its just total BS! I think their systems let them down badly. HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE NOT INVEST IN THE RIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE!

 

So, the conversation of the tier 2 was bad at all this time.

The guy was very courtious and sounded genuine.

 

The resulst is still the same, a big nothing, but it was not coupled with the nastiness of some tier 2s.

 

Basically, in the beginning he tried to explain to me that my petition was transferred to Nebraska and that's a good thing since NBC is backlogged. But when I faced him with the current loads at Nebraska, California and Texas (as of November 30) he was nice enough to just acknowledge that and not try to bullshi% me with any stupid answer.

 

Then he moved on to expalin that both emails do not contradict each other (assigned to an officer / pending consideration). He said it is a continuation since "the officer" did not get to my petition yet.

 

He then offered to put in "another" service request, but warned me that actually service requests get assigned to an officer and that they have to pull the petition, look at it and then respond to the SR and that process delays the petition.

 

I told him to go ahead and put in an SR anyway since my petition is already delayed no matter waht.

 

The guy showed a lot of sympathy and mentioned that he had to deal with the waiting with USCIS first hand at some time during his life (you can tell he is an immigrant from his accent).

 

Anyway, he was very nice and very understanding, but that did not change the outcome: NOTHING AT ALL


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-02-18 11:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJuly 2013 I-130 Filers

I just got an email as a response to an inquiry completely contradicting and negating the last email I received:

The 2nd to last email said my case has been assigned to an officer and that now it depends on the officer work load.

The last email said that my case is still pending consideration:

"Referral ID:
SRXXXXXXXXXXXMSC
Beneficiary (if you filed for someone else):
-- Information not available


Your USCIS Account Number (A-number):

Type of service requested:
