I got an rfe from CSC for copy of original marriage certificate I guess I only sent in my translated one but they did receive it 12/17 and I still haven't heard anything sad.png I filed 4/10

 

 

Just wondering whether you herd anything about the RFE reply you sent last month to CSC?

That's my theory, and past Ombudsman Reports seem to confirm that this is a tactic that they've used in the past at AT LEAST one service center.  I'll quote the relevant documents if you'd like. 

 

Yes Please. Kaylara that would be very nice. Btw they say wait for 60 days ..... does that mean anything? I mean I have they tell to wait for 60 days because they dont want people to bother them before that time but  guess they do approve in about a month or so. What do u think or do u by any chance have any knowledge on this?

wow ..... really .... thats almost a month. I thought they should update/respond within a week. I feel like that when they need more time they just issue RFEs ..... even if it snot necessary. I remember sending USCIS emails, talking to tier2 officers and also my senator's office sent in an inquiry. In response to that after couple of days i got RFE and now again I am waiting.

Any idea as to how long a service center takes to respond to an RFE? On average I mean. I mean they say 60 days but for the most part it's earlier than that. Anyone had any experience with CSC?

What was the RFE?

 

The date of registration on my birth certificate was for a much later year than my birth year so CSC wanted me to establish that time period (about 15-20 years) by sending them old pictures, documents anything that can show that my parents ..... are really my parents.

Ok so finally I sent reply back for RFE today. Just wondering if anyone else also received RFE from CSC and how long is it normally these days to get a reply (and by that I mean approval :) ) back after the package is received by the service center.

Well I got an RFE too. Now I am waiting for the actual letter to see what exactly is missing. I sent in everything as per the instructions on I-130
livstrongMalePakistan2014-01-09 08:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Oh, I most definitely will. And I appreciate it and will do the same for anyone else who is going to send out a letter for themselves as well.

 

Hi Kaylara. Did you by any chance get time to call Senator Booker's office? Also just wondering how can we by pass tier 1 representatives ..... I mean if they dont transfer our calls to tier 2, we are pretty much stuck with whatever they are saying. I mean I spoke to Tier 1 on the 31st and she was nice enough to take down my information and give ma reference number but then I really dont know how much is that going to help my cause.

Unfortunately, no. Been trying to work on this and take care of our kids and all that jazz, and didn't get to. I'll try tomorrow.

 

 

oh ok. no worries. I know that Leslie was off today. I guess she is the one who takes care of immigration matters. i am going to try calling his office tomorrow also. Lets say what they say.


livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-30 20:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Oh, I'm totally calling her now. I'll fax that bad boy right to her. If it means getting some movement on my case, I'll do whatever it takes. 

 

Hey kaylara did you by any chance get to call his office? Did you get to talk to anyone?


livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-30 20:28:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

I hear that. I've been trying to find his local contact info since he took office. (I voted for him too.) I found it, and that's why I'm going for Booker next.  I hope that he's more helpful than the other two have been. 
 
If you keep me updated on his reaction to you, I'll do the same for me. :)


Sure thing. I hope I hear from her tomorrow assuming she is working tomorrow. Or better yet I hope I get approval emails and texts from USCIS ??. Either way I will definitely let you know the outcome

livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-30 16:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Oh her (assuming that you're talking about Menendez's person), I wouldn't wait for her to call. She doesn't. And she's been off all last week, and it looks like this week as well. Must be nice. 
 
They got my privacy waiver and information on Nov. 1.  They told me I would get an answer within 14-21 business days. When I called on Dec. 19th and actually got her on the phone (btw, have been calling almost daily since Dec. 2. Don't call in the afternoon, she won't answer the phone at all.) she told me that they'd sent a request to the USCIS on Nov. 19th and hadn't gotten an answer yet. They are friggin' useless. (She tried getting me to send her in another privacy waiver, until I told her that I'd sent it in Nov. and was still waiting on an answer from them, and also had been calling for weeks trying to get an answer from her. After she told me that she hadn't heard anything from the USCIS, she asked me if there was anything else she could do for me. Yeah, like maybe do your damn job.)
 
I'm currently filling out the info to send to Booker. Maybe I'll get somewhere with him.
 
Also, Chris Smith's immigration person is incompetent AND useless. And barely literate.  I swear, we should make a master list of how effective everyone's contacts to Congress people, Senators, and the Ombudsman has been.  






I called Cory Booker's office. And the person in charge...... Her name is Leslie. I thought I voted for him 2 months ago why not call his office and ask to help me out ??

I just sent an email to my senators office too. The person handling immigration cases was not in today so perhaps my email will get looked into on Thursday. Well I hope I hear something tonight and that way I wouldn't care if someone checks my email or not on Thursday ??

Received a text and email on Dec 27 for Approval of my I-130 for my wife. My PD was April 16 and it was transferred to Texas last month.


What? What? What? ..... On that note Congratulations. Hope is still alive. Even if it's an approval for CR1 I will take it. It's a New Year's Eve miracle :)

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

My solution to this whole process..... if they dont want to hire new people then USCIS should not accept any new applications for ..... lets say 2 months. During these two months they should work on clearing on the back log. After that they should reopen to accepting new applications. I am sure USCIS can survive not making "new money" for 2 months.

I just sent my Senators office another request for an inquiry.  In the last inquiry answer it said my file was transferred to TSC and I need to contact them directly for further information...  SO... I asked the Senators office to provide a direct nmber or email address OR do another inquiry for me. I specifically asked them to find out if my case has been assigned to someone !   

 

So, we'll see who is working tomorrow..  

 

I'm so sick about this.

 

The worst part is that they think that they can tell or update anything on their website and people wouldnt know anything. They think of us as fools. I guess they dont know that there are forums where people know and share information. They think that we are only looking at their processing times via their website and so they can tell whatever and we have no other way but to believe. I am thinking next month when they update it will be changed to Feb 14 coz technically they are busy so much approving July, August, November and perhaps December applications that they cant get around working on March and April applications.

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

Hi loveMyTico

My situation is exactly the same as yours.

We had transferred to TSC on Nov, 27th. Ever since we haven't heard anything.... sad.png
I was expected, we might heard good news within two weeks.

Now we have to be apart new year and our anniversary also.
So hang in there! And I feel you!!



I don't understand what happens to Texas?? No approvals recently.
Now NBC is faster than them.












 

Honestly speaking I dont know who is faster than who. They said CSC was faster but I havent herd anything or approval I mean in the last 2 weeks I guess from that service center. I dont know if they are working or some sort of strike..... ??!!!???!!! Alot of people sent out emails and mails/faxes to their local representatives but guess what they are all on vacation till after New Year ...... Good to know they are spending time with their family 


livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-29 18:17:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

I agree.... if they told me in the beginning that I could pay an extra $2500 to be processed immediately.... I would have paid right then and there.   To me, thats business.  What they are doing to us right now is torture.  

 

They knew the backlog was coming. Its poor planning and the lack of caring individuals.  Why didn't they even out the processing of the K-1's and the I-130's from the get-go?

 

They knew this was happening but chose to keep sending new filers to the NBC. I also think they knew from the beginning that the NBC would not be processing anything.

 

I can't even read the other threads anymore. It makes me so furious. 

 

I almost called my mom and asked if I could borrow $1200.00 so I could fly to CR  yesterday to be with my husband on New Years... but then reality hit me and I remembered that I have to buy a flight for his interview ( whenever that may be)   Im so sick over this. 

 

 Now I just hope that they can atleast honor their 60 days notice. This step used to take only 5-6 months at the most. Now its ........ simply unspeakable. I really hope and pray that I hear something positive from CSV in the month of January. Thats all I can say. I wiush I could pay that additional $2500 but when I think about NVC, the medical fees and then the tickets  ............ at that point I just calm myself down and tell myself that I have waited 8 months ..... Maybe another month wouldn't hurt.


livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-29 18:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Thanks for the positive words. I'll take all I can get.  I sure hope you're right.  I was reading that June and later filers are getting approved left and right. It is soooo depressing.  I am at the end of my rope.  Who knew it would take this long just to get the USCIS to look at my file?       I am trying so hard to hold it all together.  

 

There has to some explanation why in the hell people from May, June and even November are getting approved when people from March and April are still waiting. Sometimes I think I should file another form for premium processing but considering I have to I-130 cases, it would cost me another about $2500 ($1225 per case). Thats alot considering what I have paid so far and what I will be paying to NVC. It's business ..... business to make money without providing proper service. In business world whenever there is an exchange of money the buyer can always hold the seller responsible ................ what the hell is happening here. If the work load is too much then hire more people. Its not my problem who is working and how they are working as long as the work is being done right. We are being screwed both ways !!!!!!!!!!

I just saw that I-129 applications from Vermont Service Center are also being transferred to CSV starting December 23. This has to be a joke. USCIS is accepting more applications than they can handle. Why can they not just hold on accepting new applications for couple of months. Work on the back log and then start accepting new applications. They think that by transferring the applications from NBC or Vermont Service Center to other service center they have resolved the problem. They are simply transferring problem from one trouble center to another. What is happening here !!!

Good to hear they are working..... It's good for you too that atleast your case got transferred but now the waiting begins. From here on forward you have to completely rely on the processing dates on USCIS and not the 60 days that came with your letter.

Not hearing anything from no one. I know the offices are open and even if they are working at half the capacity then how come we are not hearing anyone getting approved. Does this mean we will have to wait until after New Year to see some work get done? Ahhhhh.....
livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-27 14:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

*facepalm* What was the point in even putting that letter in with the transfer notices then? Just a waste of paper and resources if the still have no accountability and we still have no recourse even when they don't follow through with their promises.  Maybe try emailing the service center? If they don't answer within 21 days, then you can escalate the issue to Service center HQ? 


It seems useless. We are pretty much at their mercy. What I don't understand is that how can you've to May or June and in some cases October applications when March and April filers are still sitting. We truly ate being penalized for applying on time or before time. What happened to first come first serve.

No offense to anyone and by that I mean people who are applying in natural disaster zones ..... But everyone who has a legitimate case should and must apply and get approve but only through proper channel and when it's your turn. It's like we are standing in a line to check out and then group of people just walk in and stand ahead of us ....... This is just so wrong. These applications used to take only 5-6 months. With the amount of money they charge you would have that one would get proper and prompt service.

I hope that you all have a Happy Holiday as well. And I really hope that someone is working at the USCIS Service Centers for the next few days. 
 
Just knowing that we're not alone is both great and completely infuriating. 



Well I just called USCIS just to see if they are open and well ..... Yes they are but no sure at what capacity they are working . Atleast this sounds like a good news that they are working today.

On the other hand on a not so much happier note I asked them about the 60 days on my transfer letter and they told me that it doesn't matter. Until the Service center shows that they tte processing applications with a date of April 20, they cannot create a service request( My NOA is April 16). So now even though the letter I received said that I should receive a response in 60 days ...... That means nothing.

Sorry to say it's just a generic email. I think we all got that one after being transferred. It took about another month after that. Good luck!

That's not a system glitch or error. They are stating that they processed 1 days worth of petitions in a month. Because of that processing date, no one who filed after that can ask for a service request, help from the Ombudsman, or help from their representatives. They know well what they are doing. This is the second time in the past 4 months they're trying this tactic.

 

Wow .... if thats the case then this is ry wrong on their part. Every month I wait very anxiously around that time to look for updates but if this is what they are doing then I am speechless. Now the letter I received after transfer to CSV states that I should receive a response within 60 days. Does that 60 days even mean anything? I am almost close to 30 day mark .... well 25 to be exact. Which means I should hear something by January.

Btw USCIS updated their processing time today and it seems like exactly the same as from last month when they updated on Nov 19. Whatsup with that? There has got to be a an error or a system glitch. I am sure they are working on March and April applications.

If an approval doesn't come from TSC this week for me, I am going to be very discouraged going into the holidays....I really don't understand why they are so so slow compared to other service centers....

True. It is very discouraging at times the way things are processed at USCIS. On positive note last couple of weeks things have picked up and people have been hearing some sort of responses from these these service centers. In my case it has been almost 9 months but now I also hope that before they go on holidays, they should atleast get done with all April filers.

Congratulations to you too. I hope you are right about CSV. I also applied April (NOA April 16) but since I am IR-5, I am still hoping my turn will come soon. My cases were transferred to CSV on Nov 25. Btw Just wondering how much time do you have before the I-130 gets approved,  paying for the immigrant visa and I-864 and to send in the civil documents to NVC?


livstrongMalePakistan2013-12-15 17:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Yea, I had my husbands translated and my lawyer put it in the package.  He asked for it so I gave it to him. from what I understand, its not required at the USCIS level but some service centers ask for it.   I think if I were you, I'd get that thing translated on Monday morning. You need it for the NVC level anyway. I would hate for you to have to spend any extra time waiting.

 

After reading your post, I think I should have put in birth certificates for my parents too. Like you said, its not required by USCIS so I didn't bother sending along with my application. I am still hoping they will process and approve without birth certificates of the beneficiaries. This will give me sometime to gather birth certificates along with other civil documents for NVC.

Hi,

 

Yes, I'm a U.S. citizen and the petitioner. We only filed the I-130 and still haven't received the hard copy, so we don't know the new location at this point. Obviously I have no idea what's going on with your applications, but I have a feeling you're going to hear something soon. Statistically, CSC appears to be the fastest in processing applications.

 

Good Luck to you too. Hope you here something soon.

We finally got transferred (filed April 12) on December 12. Hoping it goes to CSC. They seem to be the fastest. An approval by the end of the year would be great.

 Hi,

 

I was just wondering whether you (the petitioner) are a US Citizen? The reason I asked is that I also filed 2 separate applications in April (notice date of April 16) for my parents (I-130 and type IR-5). Both the applications were transferred to CSC from NBC on Nov 25th. Now I am just waiting to hear from them. Hope everything is ok with the applications.

Hmmmm ok ok. I guess I am just being too impatient. I need to give couple of days to see any change in status.

I have read many times that if they take your passport you have your Visa and if they give it back you DO NOT HAVE VISA so I would say,  CONGRATULATIONS I'M SO VERY, VERY HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.  I'm so happy for you and your parents. :D  :dance: :dance: :yes: :dance: :dance:
 

 

Thank you Soloenta. I hope its moving in the right direction just like ou mentioned. The CO actually said within 2 weeks. I just cofirmed with my mother. She told me that she asked the CO twice whether he meant 20 or 15 days and he said within 15 days so ...... I really hope to see two passports with two visa within 2 weeks.
