IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJuly 2010 CR-1 filers

I hope you get your approval soon Loto!!

Question:

If they currently work on July fillers, does it mean they'll then move toward the August fillers?

Thanks a lot!!


In fact this is my conclusion.

Two guys got NOA2 in July list are from VSC. I have not seen any regular CSC approval for July guys.

Also, there are people from VSC filed in earlier months of July, but still waiting for NOA2. I think those 2 guys got a nice adjudicator in VSC :)

On the other side, VSC had just 2 digit I-130 receipts until May 2010. They started accepting 4 digit I-130 petitions since Jun 2010. Whereas, CSC always had 5 digit I-130 petitions every month.

CSC has more I-130 adjudicators than VSC, IMO.

Now it seems the I-130 work load is balancing between CSC and VSC.

I wish everybody irresepctive of the service center must have NOA2 soon! Based on some news, they might accelarate the I-130 approvals to achieve the target of 750,000 by the end of this December. And this number includes the petitions from LPR too.

CanadianRedneck,

capu confirmed in the other thread that he is VSC filer and has non-expedite filing.

I think those 2 VSC guys' (capu and shyngyan) file reached to a best adjudicator. Then they were approved immediately after the name check. What a lucky guys? Now I believe 'first come first served' concept further narrows down to adjudicator level, not at service center level.

I saw your note - capu went through CSC. Is that correct? Was that expedite?

But, his/her profile shows VSC.

You know what that means? NVC is going to get busy and start taking months instead of weeks now. Yay! You can't win whatever ways you go. Argh.


NVC will be clogged, if the first flood gate opens.

I think it is what happening now with NVC. Back in 2008, most of us completed entire NVC process in under a month. Now most of the cases, on an average is taking 1 to 1.5 months.

Four people in CSC got their approval on 21-SEP-2010. This 'hit is moving again.


I think the storm is coming back with the approvals :)

As per CIS ombudsman's update, USCIS has the plans to complete 750,000 I-130 petitions by the end of this 'calendar year' that include LPR petitioners as well. Even I noted similar update from Attorney Murthy also. This is hopeful news!

Hey guys,

Another July Vermont guy (capu - not in our list) got the NOA2 in 62 days.

capu, if you hear us, can you please let us know if it was NOT expedited approval?

Thanks

Good afternoon loto;
i called my congressman and they told me that i have to fill out a document release and give them a copy of my noa 1, and they will check the status. do you think that it would affect my status, or is it not worth doing if they can't help me expedite?


nayoub66, it won't delay anything.

If there is no reason to expedite, only thing the congressperson can do is just check the status, and the standard response will be "USCIS is processing your case. Normally it takes 5 months of processing time."

Do you have any expedite grounds? Here is the list: http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD

I intend to...our attorney sent a letter requesting expedited processing...don't know if they even read it. So my wife is going to try going through the congressman...the congressman's office sent the forms she has to fill out and she has to mail them back. When she called the office and told them our 'whole' situation..they seemed sympathetic and motivated to help us. So we'll just see.

thanks LOTO


Good luck, CanadianRedneck!

CanadianRedneck,

I saw your other post about 'expedite'. You may try that option.

If it clicks, you are the gainer. Else, you have nothing to lose.

Good luck!

VSC Specific:

What I found is there are some I-130 approvals here and there around July 17, 2010 time period.

May be some expedite and may be some went to a 'good adjudicator'.

Debby, let me do some more analysis based on shyngyan's input.

I think that particular batch had some miracle.

Oh, this is great and thanks shingyan!

Are you sure they are I-130 cases? Do you mind giving me couple of those I-130 Receipt# (of course not yours!) that show Post Decision Activity.

Good luck to your NVC process!

shingyan,

Can you please do a favor?

Please check 10 petitions backward and 10 petitions forward from your receipt#'s last 2 digits (ie., total 20 petitions) that are I-130 and let us know what are their status.

Thanks

This is VSC specific.

It looks like VSC Receipt# pattern is like this for this current fiscal Oct 2009 to Sep 2010.

EAC - Vermont Service Center prefix
10 - Fiscal year 10 (ie, 2010 for Oct 2009 to Sep 2010)
9 - A constant to start the sequence
Remaining 7 digits - Sequence number starting with 0000001

EAC-10-9-0000001 <-- This was the first case
EAC-10-9-0597969 <-- This is the last case entered in the system until this post

Check your number. It will be between this 7 digit sequence. And this 7 digit sequence is the mix of all petitions that include I-130, I-765, I-821 etc.

This is just my inference!

Wait about 2 weeks from the NOA-2 'Approval Date' printed in the new I-797-C
then

call/harry/harras NVC via telephone, to get the GUZ casefile #
then you can start NVC Processing.

Please NOTE - you qualify for OPTING IN to NVC Electronic Processing - see http://www.visajourn...onic_Processing for all the steps.
