man...so many approvals lately.

Still waiting here though, filed the I-130 ~20th Oct to CSC. Like emo4krisi says...don't try to find logic in their work flow, it doesnt really make a lot of sense.



Yes or else you can go crazy, but don't worry you will get approved soon.

Hi there!
I am October filer...waiting for almost 4 month, no transfer to CA, no touches, no nothing....
sad.gifsad.gifsad.gif

Is there anyone out there that has figured out how this USCIS VSC vs CSC, and the transferred CSC vs. originally at CSC thing is working? I really have a hard time understanding why people that received NOA1 in October / November that were transferred over from VSC are getting approvals at CSC in January / February. Meanwhile there are people that have been at CSC with NOA1 from July, August, September, October and November that sit waiting for a touch.

It does not affect me (yet) because I am a late November/early December CR-1/K-3 filer) but if I were the others I would be confused and very sad headbonk.gif

I was happy when I was assigned to CSC originally, but now it seems to be a big disadvantage.

Has anyone tried to get an answer on this from CSC?

Don't try to find any logic in their work flow because there is none. The more you think about it the madder you are going to get. It will all end soon.

Hi all we filed on October 18th and our petition was immediately transferred from VSC to CSC. They received it at CSC on the 27th of Oct. I just received my wife's approval notice yesterday.

I guess now that all the hoopla of the elections are over as well as major holidays they are back to work full steam.

I hope you all get speedy approvals too.

You've got a long way dude..maybe another 4-5 months until your NOA2 approval.

Hang in there like we did..just prepare for the next step make sure you read the NVC guidelines and stuff like that, so you can finish that stage for 20 days..I didnt do it that fast but there are others who did it.


I don't appreciate you busting my balls like that DUDE! Let me hope for the best and don't worry I am prepared for the worst! I am sorry that you had such a hard time and I congratulate you on your approval, but now move on and be happy don't try to make my day bad by giving me negative, discouraging advice. I perfectly know how long it takes and all that. If you didn't pay attention I was the one who posted Loto's Guide on the VJWiki which I believe you read many times. And also if you didn't read my posts I was just trying to find fellow October filers, I just don't know how is that bad.
So now go on with your life, get your wife and live a happy life.
I wish you the best of happiness good.gif

I filed my I-130 in October (see time line) ... however, I am really starting to get nervous about my NOA1 for the K3 ... almost 3 weeks and still nothing ... I see all sorts of members here who got their K3 NOA1 in a week sad.gif



Great finally someone. I don't know about your K3, I didn't bother to send it because lately it has been moving slower than CR1 and even if it is 1-2 moths faster it is not worthed because then you have to go trough the hole AOS #######.
On your I-130, did you get any touches, is anything moving???

Oh never mind I see now that you got a lot of touches. You might be getting your I-130 approval pretty soon!
