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 Hang on a second.....NOW I am even MORE pissed off.... I just checked online and the "post activity" changed to "initial review" ####### it's going on ?! AND WHERE tf it's my I130?! I agree with Val and Gary, perhaps they're simply correcting your online status to what it really should be, in which case they're actually working on your case...	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Hello everyone No we were transfered there TSC in Nov. So its interesting they say that again, I am lost for words now.. I am happy for whom got there approvals.. Don't panic just yet- perhaps that's their way of telling you that your application will remain at the TSC as opposed to having been transferred back to the CSC	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:46:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Well within a few mins I got transferred to an "USCIS office" now Now this is curious. Either their email system is out of order, somebody is hitting the wrong "boilerplates" again, or the CSC is SO efficient that they're moving you right along... For your sake, I'm hoping for the latter	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:39:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	I understand your frustration but posting a reply by saying "Very exciting until they lose your papers" is like saying you people will have your turn in line until you lose yours. That should never happen and I feel very bad for your situation but venting anger on the rest of the people and hoping they also lose the papers is not a good statement, may be your intent was different but such a post can be read in different ways. Bro, I think you may have misinterpreted Rachel's comments. Up till now, we've all been in the same boat, and we're all here to vent and more importantly, share helpful information and support one another. Just my 2 cents	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	I wonder if batch emails are somehow sent out in alphabetical order... my last name begins with one of the last letters of the alphabet, maybe that's why I haven't received an email spelling out in which manner I am going to be violated next.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Hi guys! First congrats to Wade(hope your boy is better) and Sara, Xelance and all the rest for the aprovals! I just got an email saying that ours got moved to AN USCIS office (didn't say CSC though) Now does it mean the local office or what?!?! I am really steaming mad here ####### it's going on?! I JUST saw the news about the 36.000 cases ..... and my jaw dropped!! They finally officially admitted the F**** -up!!! Can you cut and paste the actual email?	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	I'm getting really paranoid thoughts now. If I receive an RFE after all this time I think I'll slide into a coma. It's easy for all the craziness that's happening to foster paranoia- keep trying your best to remain positive! Look at the folks who've been getting messages of approval and think that that will be you soon	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Oh dear, it looks like August filers are on the way back. Not sure whether it's good or bad for you... You just couldn't make it up... I was just wondering the same thing- are they sending August filers packing back to the CSC? I for one haven't received any emails/texts/online updates yet...	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 20:15:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Very exciting until they lose your papers Rachel I'm still in disbelief. I'm hoping someone was mistaken when they gave that info out. I mean SERIOUSLY- lost paperwork?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Xelance.. how do I email Angela Barrows... I have been waiting for 7 months now and I am truly desperate. My daughter needs her therapies or she will be kicked out of the EI program. she is down syndrome. Plz can you forward the email address.. thanks anybody how can I write to Mrs. Barrows in TSC.. plz help Hi WaitingonLord, maybe you can find the address you're looking for in one of the prior posts on this thread. Your daughter is in my prayers, I really hope people like you and Wade who have legitimate health issues, especially when it comes to kids, get through this mess first. In the meanwhile, do take some time and write your story on Wade's blog - find it at http://uscisfiasco.blogspot.com	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 19:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	some cases get approved without a change of status online...could be just that. Is there another way you can make sure you got approved besides the change online? In the world I used to know, it was as easy as picking up a phone, calling a toll-free number, and simply asking. I DO NOT even know what to say.....HELL!!! lol Gary I hear ya. There is no amount of profanity one can spew that would adequately describe this fiasco.	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 18:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Hey Guys <sigh> I am wore out.......but I did just get a call from the Orange County Register and they scheduled an interview with me tomorrow at noon. The reporter read my blog and felt the story was very compelling. Now if the rest of you would start posting your stories in the comments of my blog, it may help the chances of the story getting picked up nationally. Think about it.......I've greased the skids for you guys. Hi Wade, I haven't had time to write something coherent on your blog yet, but I will. I hear you on the being worn-out thing bro. To say that this has all gotten out of hand is quite an understatement. I seriously had very high, optimistic hopes of making some progress with the TSC after you and Rachel had been contacted. I hope the paper decides to run with this story once they've met you and the gravity of your particular situation dawns on them. Still a few more hours left tonight, so there's room for hope that you'll hear something as promised to you	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 18:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	I think we should all stand by for RFE's for "missing" documents in our I-130 packages. Yeah well didn't one of our fellow refugees prove to us that this is coming? I forget who, but apparently they were asked to send proofs of their marriage, I believe the same proofs they had already sent in.	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 16:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	This is the very reason why I have been skeptical from the moment I got an email from Ms. Barrows on Monday. If they keep this goddamn emotional roller coaster going, someone is going to snap and it won't be pretty. I hear ya Wade, I really hope things pull through for you by tonight. I'm rooting for you guys.	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 16:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	It has been confirmed that my file was completely lost. The senators office found out and thank g-d my attorney had a copy. Ready to explode Unbelievable!!!! I could literally just scream! I cannot imagine what you must be going through, I sincerely hope some super good karma comes your way in lieu of this clusterf*#@ of a ride you and the rest of us are going through. I'm afraid I may joining the "my file was lost" club as well... just get that feeling.	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 16:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Well what can we say about this noa2 approval for somebody who filed on January and got approved on Feb at CSC The CSC didn't have a number of unforeseen circumstances, the TSC did	celldoc	Male	India	2011-02-09 14:31:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	A little late to the party- huge congrats to Foreverandever and xelance!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	California Service Center To Texas Service Center	Mrs. Barrows replies me Don’t apologize! Your cases were consolidated into what we call and A-file today so that they would proceed together, so they should be with an officer tomorrow. I will update you by Friday, if not sooner.
