IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 Processing Times-Should I be worried?	The petitioner can call the USCIS call center and talk to a tier 2.  Also after 6 months you can put in a service request.  But you're right at the weird spot where Kansas started holding onto the I-130s so you may want to wait until after the end of Sept to see what's up.  Don't freak out yet! Thanks so much for the advice, I guess I will try and be patient and wait till the end of the month.  After that, I will make the call. Thanks again.	Parrish77	Female	Canada	2013-09-04 11:47:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 Processing Times-Should I be worried?	Oh god, that must be frustrating.    The new NBC building is really mucking things about.  I would have sworn on a unicorn you'd be done by 6 months.  Was a US address anywhere on the petition or other information?   Even if you put down one that you may be living at in the future, after immigrating, they may have sent it to a local office for that address, if your NBC was Lee's Summit and not Overland Park. Oh man, I was afraid of this.  I read on another thread about this happening and yes, our attorney used my Mom's address in NY as the address we intend to live in the US, all other parts of the application stated our perm address as Canadian.  I have heard the wait for the NY local office is insane! Do you think there is any chance someone will talk to me if I call at this point?  We are not going to live there and my Mom is actually getting read to move to Texas.  Ugh...I think I am going to cry.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 Processing Times-Should I be worried?	NBC is opening a new service center in Overland Park Kansas on the 30th of September 2013. Their division 8 will be dealing with I-130 petitions. -26 days is a count down to when the center opens.  Its a game of waiting to see how fast I-130s will start to be approved. Ah ha, thanks for the explanation, sure hoping things speed up!  We are about to sell our house and my husband, myself and our 2 kids will be living with my in-laws...in a 2 bedroom condo until we move.  Kill me now.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 Processing Times-Should I be worried?	You are right stevie b. Usually they are processed within 4 months. But everything is up in the air when it comes to I-130s right now. Its T-26 days till Overland in Kansas opens. Maybe the first week of October we will start seeing some long awaited approvals. Can you explain to me that T-26 days till Overland in Kansas means?   My petition stayed at NBC the whole time and it took 8.5 months. I would say OP is still well within the timeframe even though they're filing from overseas. At any point did you call and speak to someone or did you just wait?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 Processing Times-Should I be worried?	Hi,   I am a US citizen living in Montreal with my Canadian husband and our 2 kids.  I am sponsoring my husband and we sent our I-130 in on March 28th, first NOA was April 5.  We are nearing the 6 month mark and based on everything I am reading on the board and timelines we should have received our second NOA, especially since we both live abroad and our application should have stayed at the NBC and was not routed to a local office.  Should we be worried at this point?  Our attorney says we are still well within the current timelines and we just have to be patient. We really need to move before March of next year, and now I am afraid that might not happen.  Any advice would be appreciated.	Parrish77	Female	Canada	2013-09-03 22:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Interesting information regarding huge delays in I-130 processing	Urgh, I hadn't heard that, thanks for the info! Why'd they turf it? Seemed a really useful program. No idea but it sucks for sure.	Parrish77	Female	Canada	2013-09-16 21:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Interesting information regarding huge delays in I-130 processing	CA=Canada, not California, right? Canada does have DCF. Canada, and nope, no DCF as of this yr I think, all applications have to go through the NBC.	Parrish77	Female	Canada	2013-09-16 20:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Interesting information regarding huge delays in I-130 processing	While I am impatient too, I find it hard to get upset at an illegal immigrant whose parents brought him or her here as a child.  It's not like they had a choice.  But now they can be legal in the country in which they were raised.  Based on what happened in Washington, DC at the Navy Yard today, I don't think crime is limited to illegal immigrants.   I assume that when Division XIII at Overland Park becomes operational (sometime before the end of September) we'll see some movement.  Division XIII will handle stand-alone I-130s ONLY - so hopefully that will streamline the process.  Those of you with I-130s with other forms, or doing DCF will go through another processing center. Great reply! I am sponsoring my husband, we both live in CA right now and from what I understand there is no DCF for Canada so does that mean we will fit in that I-130 stand alone category?
