IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInteresting information regarding huge delays in I-130 processing

well I am sure you already know that dcf was supposed to be fast.  I have seen quite a few dcf's that for whatever reason have slowed considerably.

I believe that at the six month mark you can start a service request but sometimes they give you a hard time about that one.  best to do this with an IO rather than a CSR.. the IO may be able to give you an update.. but again maybe not... no saying that to get you any more riled than you already are wink.png

Can you explain to me what IO and CSR mean? Thanks!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInteresting information regarding huge delays in I-130 processing

Shoot! I just realized my timeline says Feb (I will fix that), should be received March 28, NOA1 on April 5.  No, I have not called yet or done an info pass.  Plus, my application should be staying at the NBC as we are filing from Canada. I say "should" as from what I can tell it could still be sent god knows where.  From what I have seen no one is getting any info on their cases right now when they call.  Do you think there is any point trying?  Any advice would be great, I am so lost and so pissed.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInteresting information regarding huge delays in I-130 processing

there are no 130's at service centers other than nbc, it has been like that for over a year.  texas has nothing to do with 130s

all petitions since some arbitrary date in may have been going to the new facility

dribs and drabs of approvals from local offices continue to come in with certain local offices so severely backlogged that they are running one year for approval

expect to see a lot of transfers and approvals beginning the first week of October

my first inclination is that most if not all of the recent petitions are being used for training and will be the first to see their approvals

Stevie b I sure hope you are right! I am hoping and praying that we will see a ton of approvals in October, trying not to freak out until then.

Have you seen the filer abroad thread?

That thread just depresses the hell out of me with all of the auto expidites. :(

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSC Abroad 1-130 filers for Chicago Lockbox

USC currently living in Canada, sent in our 1-130 March 28th, not much to report, called one time at 6 months (a few weeks ago) and the tier 2 said  we should call back at the end of the month if we had not been approved, senator sent me the standard letter advising an additional 6 months wait time.  So, who knows?

Why do we need a special monitoring thread if this info is visible in the main timelines stats?

You are totally right, I didn't realize it showed the transfer.  Thanks!  Still getting the hang of this place.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApprovals after transfer? (list)

Hi,

 

Was wondering if it might be helpful to have a thread where folks who have been transferred can let us know when they are approved and from what service center.  If there is already a place for this info, I cannot find it, and I am dying to keep an eye on these applications. So anyone who was transferred from the NBC to Nebraska, Texas or California and have been approved, please let us know! :)

Just got the notice we were transferred to "another office".  March 28th filer...NOA1 April 05. 

Oh and FYI I am filing from abroad, so the idea that NBC is still processing those files does not seem to fit here.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWorkload transfers. NBC-> Service Centers

when transferred to local offices, arent there huge stock piles there already ?!?! i mean what is the point... ? are they going to push aside the other people and do feb? for example... Atlanta has HUGE backlogs... what to do ?

Just my opinion but I think the "local" office emails are mistakes.  I got both a USCIS office transfer email and a local office email, right now my status says local office.  I called to speak to tier 2 today as I am filing from abroad and do not have  a local office.. she said it looks like my file went to the csc.  So until you have a paper notice saying otherwise I think they stopped sending files to local offices and are now only sending them to the other service centers. I could be wrong but so far this seems to be the trend.  Anyone know of someone with a confirmed local office transfer (paper notification with local office name on it) since all of the transfers started last week?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsINFO about Division 8 at Overland Park

 

It depends... but to setup a background check from scratch can take 1 to 2 months.

 

For people who file from Abroad, in most cases, they already had the background check done when they did the immigration procedures for their current country of Residence. (see my theory below)

-> In my case, my USC wife had to provide Police reports and other documents to get her French Visa and residence card. I remember,at the time of the processing, before we were granted, that the French immigration officer told us he would do some research before validating her Visa (I an guessing some Interpol background checks and some queries to the US police administration).

 

On top of that, she already had done some FBI background checks prior to this when we were in Eastern Europe, and as she did no live in the US since then, her US Criminal report should be unchanged.

 

 

=> Hence my theory about filers from Abroad: USCIS may expedite these cases, as they may consider, or (even better) see, in their systems that the background check work has already been done. As the USC is living abroad hir/her criminal record should remain unchanged, thus providing a very safe basis for the USCIS officer to grant the NOA2 without having to look deep into the systems. (or having already in the systems a nice, fresh and clean background check already...)

I filed March 28th, both my husband and I live in Canada together...we have been waiting 6 months so I can easily say that filing from abroad does not always speed the process.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

Good Morning everyone!

 

I have a question I am hoping you might be able to help me with.  We received a checklist and returned it and the additional docs to the NVC on Feb 7, I just called and it was scanned in on Feb 12th.  At this point I am guessing (if all goes well) we will have case complete in the next few weeks sometime.  My question is, based on a case complete sometime beginning/middle of March is there any idea as to when we could expect to have our interview in Montreal?  My sister is due to have her baby at the end of March and I want to plan a trip to see her but obviously need to be careful that the interview and trip do not overlap.  Any ideas?  

 

Thanks in advance. :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

Hi Saylin,

 

At this point it looks like our interview will be after April 15th, I am a US Citizen living in Canada with my husband (he is Canadian).  Normally I do not file my US taxes until sometime before June 15 (since I am afforded an extension) and the CA filing date is April 30th.  So will I have to file earlier this year?  Or is it okay that I not bring 2013 taxes to the interview.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

 

if you call the NVC and ask them about the time frame they would state 30 business days but the reality and from looking at everyone timeline who got checklists it varies from case to case between 12 to 20 business days from the date the NVC scans the checklist  in the system...but when your checklist had been received by the NVC and they got it in the system ?


 

today the NVC is not working because it is the president's day which is a federal day


Thanks, it was signed for on Friday.  I am going to call tomorrow to see if it is in the system.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

After a checklist has been returned to NVC if all is good, how long does it usually take to receive case complete?  Do you go back to waiting another 4 weeks?


Parrish77FemaleCanada2014-02-17 08:24:00

Thank you!

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

i called in today .. our filed was transferred to my local office..automated system when calling in says lee summit but rep said it is indeed the local office. Thinking of making info pass appt.

Was your file transferred last week?  Did the Tier 2 tell you for sure it was sent to your local office? Have you received your paper copy? I ask only because I was under the impression that NBC was no longer sending files to local offices and would be instead sending them to other USCIS offices.  I got an email last week saying ours was going to another USCIS office, and then the same day to our local office.  But, I am filing from abroad so technically I have no local office.  So confusing!


Parrish77FemaleCanada2013-10-28 11:58:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 2013 I-130 Filers

 

Yes, the same thing happened to me. USCIS originally said (online case status update) that my case was sent to local office and then 2 days later the web site said it was sent to a USCIS office. I received a letter in the mail that said our case was sent to Nebraska and a second letter in the same envelope that said we should hear something within 60 days. And, if we don't hear anything, to call the 800 number.

Mine said another USCIS office and then changed to local office. I am filing from Canada so it makes no sense that mine would go to a local office when our address is in Canada.  I guess all I can do it wait till we get the paper copy.


Parrish77FemaleCanada2013-10-28 11:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 2013 I-130 Filers

For those of you that have been transferred and now know where your file is (Nebraska, Texas) did you get a notice from USCIS saying your file ws sent to "your local office"? Still trying to see if this was a mistake and the files are all indeed going to service centers not local offices.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved-Interview at MTL Consulate Today

Yay!!!!  I am so excited for you!  We have had similar timeline through this whole process, and I am so happy to see you  get the approval  :joy:?  . My husband has his interview 5/8 in MTL.

 

AS far as the SS card - at the end of the DS-260 it asked if you wanted to share the information on the DS-260 with other agencies and automatically apply for the SSN.  If you checked yes, then once he enters the US they will generate his SS card and I think it takes up to a couple of weeks to get mailed to your US address.  I could be wrong...because I haven't gotten to that point yet, but that is what I have read.  If you did not check that you wanted to SS generated, he can go into an SS office after he moves here and then apply.

 

Anyone else replying, correct me if I am wrong on the SS card.  - Thanks

 

Thanks so much!  I thought that might be the case but I wasn't for sure.  Good luck next month!!!! :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved-Interview at MTL Consulate Today

We were approved!!!!  WhooHooo!  Thanks so much to everyone who helped along the way.  And to all of you still waiting, I promise you will make it through, stay strong and try not to freak out too much. :)

 

All of the info regarding the MTL consulate was 100% on point for us, arrived at 7:00, doors open at 7:30 etc... (Do not bring bags or extra stuff, the guard was not gonna budge even a bit on that and some folks in line were freaking out.) Took us 2 hours total, the interview was pretty much a breeze, the guy was quite impressed with the amount of stuff I brought for proof of domicile, he mostly focused on my lease, job offer and contract for sale of our house in Canada.  Actually asked me if my lawyer told me to bring all of this or if I took it upon myself.  Told him the web was a wonderful place! The only other questions he asked was where we met, when we got married and what my husband planned to do for work in the US. 

 

One last quick question for you guys, we realized after the fact that there was no mention of my husband applying for his SS card?  Does that happen automatically or does he have to do it once he is in the US?

 

Thanks again!

Random question, I am planning to bring in a big "trapper keeper" like canvas file organizer/notebook that zips up with all of our docs to the interview.  (Extra points if you know what a trapper keeper is!)  I know we are not allowed to take in bags but will this be okay?

I am in CA and we have been here for over 10 yr together, no worries about proof of domicile as I have been working on this for over a year (read lots o scary posts of folks being turned away) just surprised it was not even mentioned and never has been up to this point. 

 

As for the medical, I am just worried we wont get an appt before he has to leave on the 29th, do you know if it is usually booked up?  He wont be back till the 4th and that would be cutting it way close...

dwheels76! We got an interview, holy #######, April 8th!!!  I just got the email and now I have some questions, hoping you all can help me out.  My husband is flying back from Russia tomorrow (he was there for work) and is scheduled to leave to Japan for 1 week on March 29th.  Is there any chance he will get his medical in time?  I am going to call on Monday to try and make an appt.  Also, the letter did not request that I be there nor did it mention Proof of Domicile, is this how it usually goes???  Thanks so much, so excited! This is the first time anything has been ahead of schedule for us!

For Montreal specifically no. But next round of scheduling should start up about next thursday the 27th or friday the 28th.

Thanks, I am hoping we hear next week, the waiting is killing me.

Hey guys,

 

Anyone have a prediction for when Montreal will book interviews?  I am really hoping next week sometime...

Hello,

 

I have to resubmit my I864 form due to error on it. I submitted on March 3rd. All the other document is cleared like civil docs n others. Does anyone know how long does it take to review it and case complete (other than 30 days). If anyone had the same issue then how long it took NVC to review and  finish the case.

 

Thank you for the help.

D

It took us 20 days from when they put the checklist in the system.

dwheels76:  we got our case complete email yesterday but are still waiting on interview date.

Yes extensions letters should be fine. Seems the CO's are hardest on folk who maybe previous year were borderline and they wanted to see how 2013 panned out. Canada I wouldn't be so concerned. You know we love us some Canadians (well I do).goofy.gif

Thanks again!!!

So if my husband's interview is after April 15 (which it most probably will be) he'll have to bring copies of our 2013 tax return, with copies of my 1099 forms (I'm self employed)? Do we have to do an updated I-864 too? Or is a copy of the taxes sufficient?

 

And also, dwheels76 thanks so much for adding us to the list. I was going to do it but didn't want to mess it up no0pb.gif 

 

dwheels76...On this subject, I am currently living in Canada and therefore I get an automatic extension until June from the IRS, my parents are our co-sponsor since my hubby is the main bread winner in our family.  They filed for an extension, so when we go to the interview I am assuming that proof of both extensions for 2013 will be okay correct?
