Thanks Loto :)
I checked my case was touched yesterday, so i believe because of the transfer, but today again I see it is touched! What could that mean? Hopefully something good hehe Should i get my PCC now? :D


DarnellTM once quoted to get PCC when you smell NOA2 :) We ordered PCC when we smelled this fragrance :D

Hey guys, my case was also transferred to Texas!! I believe CSC is sooo full that they are sending petitions to other centers to get approved on time.
Loto, could you please update my info on the spreadsheet? Thanks.

I just saw a separate thread regartig this(CSC moved to TSC), so it seams we are a lot!!! I hope it's a good sign!
Now I have a question ; since we were originally a CSC # assigned (like WACxxxxxx) will it change because now it moved to TSC??


You will come to know it by the end of this month when you get NOA2 :star:

WAC remains WAC OR
WAC change to SRC

She is learning cooking also very well. Her idea is to make me happy by making good food :P

My idea is to make her busy all the time. Whenever she sits idle, she will start thinking to go back to India.

My hubby lives in the USA and I want to be with him, I like USA and besides career opportunities are better there and for my hubby it would be difficult to find a job here in Europe, he would have to convert his license and this is time and money consuming.


Ok, I understand :P

What I thought was your hubby could relocate to Lithuania and live there together in that beautiful country. Now I am clear about his job in the U.S and your job opportunities in the U.S as well.

To me, it is easier to relocate to India with the job, but the quality of life is not good (This is just my perspective!) compared to the U.S. That's why I am here and I am barely successful to convince my wife too. She was more into India, but now things are changing, as you know.

So which one should I pay more attention to: the date on the uscis.gov page that is August 11 in our case, or priority date printed on NOA1 hard copy, which is August 1?


Aug 1 - Received date.

Hi Loto, one short question, the priority date is the date that is showed on USCIS website or the date that they received the form?

Cip.


Cip,

It looks like website displays the notice date.

Processing is based on receipt date, the date USCIS receives your I-130 petition.

Priority date is irrelevant for immediate relative petitions, but sometimes they keep priority date and receipt date same.

Loto
LotofPatienceMaleIndia2010-11-03 11:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJuly 2010 CR-1 filers

I think you shouldn't worry about being transferred to other service center. I believe they are trying to approve as many petitions as possible by the end of the year that's why they need the help of other service centers! Good luck and patience patience patience hehehe
Loto, will you update the spreadsheet please?

Huge news today for me and I do not know if it is good OR bad. I was notified by text message that my case was moved to Texas Service Center... I have no idea why since I live in San Diego, CA, but anyways I HOPE it is not a bad thing! What do you all think??? Hell, I didnt even think Texas Service Center existed anymore!


Apeters,

Some cases may be transferred to other service centers, or local offices as well. No need to be panic at this time!

As a last resort, some people has tried it in the past. She can't make it approved, but she can request the USCIS to review the file.

Today marks the 1 year, 3 months, 8 days, point for me sighhh, I can't get anywhere with USCIS , I spent from July 24th 2009 in California service center, then they transferred to Vermont and told me my 180 day wait gets to start over again. And in December of this year, the 2nd set of 180 day waiting will be over

They should just approve me , and realize how they are hurting 2 married people that have tried so hard. Where is the compassion? I'm starting to feel as if its discrimination


Adam and Thet,

It is real pain to hear this and I have been watching you since July :o

I know you try every month with the Congressperson.

If you haven't tried this, please get the help of CIS Ombudsman - http://www.dhs.gov/x...37986181.shtm#5

If that also fails, write to first lady.

meaning, is there a time limit for the I-130 (once it is accepted) to go onto the NVC stage and if you pass it, you have to file another I-130? I am sure we wont lag on it, but was just wondering.


Approved I-130 will land in NVC. I think upto one year (some other will confirm it) NVC will hold it for the response from both the petitioner and the beneficiary.

For other petitioners such as LPR (not USC), the visa# is not immediately available.
NVC Quote - "If visas are not available for your visa category, the NVC will notify you that the NVC received your petition and will hold it until a visa becomes available."

ya it was csc, and in my excitment i typed approved may 26th meant to type oct 26th, so when to start calling NVC for case #?


I figured that out. But when I entered in the spreadsheet, I corrected it.

After 1 week of approval, you can start calling NVC. The below are some links useful to you.

Department of State Official link - http://travel.state....c/nvc_1335.html

Also, follow LingChe shortcut (http://www.visajourn...he_NVC_ShortCut) for fastest NVC processing. Current record is 13 days using LingChe shortcut in the past.

Here is my link - http://www.visajourn...p/EZGuideSpouse

OBX is another record holder (source - Saylin's NVC sheet, Thanks Saylin!) and she completed NVC process in around same timeline of mine.

Some countries such as Canada, Mexico, China etc. have NVC Electronic Processing as well. Here is EP Guru Darnell's link - http://www.visajourn...onic_Processing

Official site of NVC Electronic Processing and to see if you qualify - http://travel.state..../visa_4409.html
