i just got an email from a response that I sent on Feb 8

Thank you for you inquiry. According to our records, your I-130 (WAC1090191842) was approved on February 9, 2011.

I hope this information was helpful to you.

...a month later. :rofl:

WOW. :no:

CONGRATS! :thumbs:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

I haven't emailed either of them yet as I thought that my petition may have been transferred back to CSC, but today I received a response from the TSC I-130 inquiries email address stating that our petition is still at TSC, so I think I will try emailing Mr. Badger. Honestly I feel a bit uncomfortable emailing an address that hadn't been published publicly by the recipient, but I'll just politely and sincerely ask for whatever help or information can be provided; the worst that can happen is that we get ignored, which is pretty much already happening.

I completely understand, and shared the same sentiments. You should do what you feel comfortable doing. If you do email Mr. Badger or Ms. Barrows, the worst thing that can happen as far as I would think is that your email would go ignored. From what I've seen thus far, I would be surprised if you were to be completely ignored.

I'm rooting for you guys, may the coming days bring you fantastic news

Congrats Saleem. But... he should have said... give the mail carrier a few days for delivery.... then give NVC a month to enter it into the system. I've been waiting for over two weeks... still no NVC (AVR or operator).

lol yeah i was thinking the same thing

Bad news and good news...
Good one - I have the NVC number.
Bad one - They messed up again.
I tried to get INN, I gave the operator my husband's birthday (which I cannot forget, it's one week before mine), and imagine - he told me that I was wrong! I said that I could not be wrong on that, I repeated the info - he became angry and said he could not provide any info :crying: Again... He was rude so I asked him to transfer me to another operator. The next operator was very helpful, he told me that indeed my husband's birthday was probably entered incorrectly and that I need to scan the first page of his passport and email them. I'm so upset. Such a nice beginning of the day... and then same old sh... When will they stop treating our documents like plain paper??? Tired...

Guess that suggests that incompetence doesn't stop with the black hole.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

Still nothing on my case. No touches, no progress. So much for the rapid response plan.

I emailed their special address today and got the following autoresponse:

You'd think they would have at least taken that autoresponse off given that it's March 1st now, but I guess they don't care that receiving that autoresponse is making me want to scream with frustration. It just comes off as so uncaring and incompetent. If this were a for-profit business and there was a competing business to go to instead I would have paid twice as much to go with a company that seemed to give a ####### about my case.

Hi you guys, have you emailed either Mr. Badger or Ms. Barrows at the TSC?
celldocMaleIndia2011-03-01 16:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

I never thought that being touch by someone that you don't even know it'll make you feel good i mean really good...!
i got touched again yesterday hope something good happens this time.

Best of luck :thumbs:

Hello VJ family, I just got the following email from Mr. Badger:


Both cases were approved on 2/21 and were sent to the NVC on 2/25.

Please give the mail carrier a few days for delivery.

I wished i would get one of those emails to pass on to my Congressman, reporter and add to my blog.

Total f**k story...........

Just imagine those who have not found VJ and they are getting this #######.

lol yeah I was just thinking the same thing... I wonder how many people out there are feeling completely hopeless

Just got this:

On February 17, 2011, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.

What should I think of that? I got an approval notice on Feb 25, 2011 but no hard copy yet?

Crazy isn't it?! Worry or not to worry?!

Don't worry, it's been happening to a lot of us :)

Really, if I hadn't received my hard copy NOA2s for my I130 and I129F today, I'd be completely furious.

Received 2 out of 3 hard-copy NOA2's today... I'm anticipating the 3rd one will arrive tomorrow or the next day. The approvals were generated out of the CSC, and indicate the case(s) have been sent to the Department of State, NVC! Wooot!!! :yes:

Movin' right along :thumbs:

I received 2 hard copies of approvals for my I130 and I120F today. Still not sure what to make of this- even though in all likelihood my case status having been demoted is erroneous, this USCIS experience has gotten me expecting the worst.

I suppose I'll start calling the NVC next Monday.

celldocMaleIndia2011-02-28 19:40:00

Goodnight to all! *does the Carlton dance*

Called the automated phone (NVC) and got the case number. It had been received by NVC yesterday. The AOS bill was generated today and paid today. Also DS-3032 emailed today. It has been a long journey but now for sure out of the dreaded TSC.

That's excellent news - congrats to you and your family :)

OK - finally it's my turn. I will now say the words I have always wanted to say - Saylin PLEASE BE SO KIND AND MARK THE SPREADSHEET TO BE... APPROVED!

Post Decision Activity

On February 25, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.

Oh yeah, baby! Finally...........

Oh Celldoc. I have no clue what these idiots are doing, but I hope to see them rectify things ASAP. It's probably just a silly mistake on their part. They really do bring us up high and low emotionally. Very confusing.

I'm sure my griping wont be over. As we see that the NVC stage can be another headache.

Yeah, here I was thinking I had escaped from the black hole.

I don't know how to search through the VJ forum for people whose timelines parallel mine. I mean, how the hell does one search for such a complex timeline? I130 and 129F in "Initial Review", then both in "Post Decision Activity", then both back to "Initial Review", then both back to "Post Decision Activity" with dual approval emails, then the I129F going back to "Initial Review".

I do not have enough profanity in my vocab to express myself.


With just the receipt number, it's not a big deal. If someone knew your name, date of birth, email address, etc, someone can do some damage. But I really don't think it's a big deal. But if you want to sleep better at night, ask an admin.

Exactly.

It's not possible to inflict any harm on you solely with this number. Still not a bad idea to ask an admin to delete it.

Honestly I have to say that I'm a tad annoyed. Actually I'm very much annoyed and just pissed off at this point. No updates!! LIKE COME ON!!!!!!!!!! Where are the approvals!!!

Looks like I got an "anti-approval". I wonder how this will pan out on Saylin's spreadsheet.

Unbelievable.
