It is our 6 month anniversary today and I checked the site this morning. The spousal petition touch yesterday has now become an approval and the fiance petition was approved yesterday as well.

I was amazed as they had not even touched the spousal since April and the fiance since June.

Now I guess it is hurry up and wait until NVC gets them eh? whistling.gif

It is happening people! We will all be approved soon! Keep the faith. Each person approved means more are being approved....it WILL happen and SOON!

I am sending my prayers for all of you.

Kim


Congratulations!!!

Zolanden, try to call them through RFE line and ask them if your cases are assigned to officer. They have to tell you and if yes - when cases are assigned. Normally once the cases are assigned to officer they will be approved within a week. This is tested by us.
Wish you luck good.gif good.gif good.gif

Thanks for your wishes guys...

do have a question - should I be worried that my online status still says pending? Should I be calling USCIS to ask as to why my online status still says pending?


Ras, I think that it doesn't matter. Don't worry about the online status. If you want you can call USCIS but for sure your applications are approved.

I was able to get the customer service rep to tell me that my case is now out of the storage room and in someone's office. They said I should have either an OK or an RFE soon. Comeon NOA2 PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ


Don't worry. Somebody here wrote that when someone take your cases for review they will be approve within a week.

Kalina and what about the 180 day mark?
Means nothing for them?


There are 180 after we sent I 130 petitions. We have additional 2 weeks to wait hitting 180 days after NOA1.
According the customer service line of USCIS /the phone from USCIS site/ after 180 days of our NOA1 we have to call customer service again and they will check the cases.
Unfortunately according to information from CSC /which my husband receive from local USCIS office/ they don't mind 180 days. They take in mind processing days which are published every month.
So if after two week we don't receive approval we will call customer service line again.
kalinaFemaleBulgaria2007-08-15 13:16:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.

Are there really that many applications to process.....; none of us should really be having to wait this long.


Maybe they are overloaded after DCF was stopped. I think that USCIS is unprepared with additional staff after Adam Walsh Act. For example we were intending to make DCF.
No good news about my cases. My husband was at local USCIS office yesterday trying to receive info. The lady there take his case numbers and said that would contact CSC to receive info. Today she call and the answer was: From CSC said that everything is o.k. and that we are in regular processing time. Would have to receive some information withing 6 of 8 weeks............. :angry: :angry: :angry:
I am so desperate and trying to think about something other. It is so bad that I can't make any plans in this situation. :crying: :crying: :crying:

Statistics on who has been approved or not: What do you think?

Hi Everyone,

I called USCIS on Friday to see what was happening with my case. The woman was polite but repeated herself over and over again with the usual. She told me they're now processing January 2007 applications. We all know that's not exactly true.

It's hard to see how many people are approved and how many are still waiting. So I used the VJ timeline search and (based on people reporting, which may be a problem), I got the following stats:

Note: This is K-3 Visas only. I wonder if K-3s are more complex than K-1.

Total

  • Applications: 59
  • Approved (got NOA2 for I-130 or I-129): 27
  • in the last 4 weeks: 11
  • in the last
2 weeks: 7

What do you think? Are we the last of the last, or are these stats correct?

Alan


Hi Alan, why this lady have said that now they are reviewing cases from January. I can't find information on USCIS cite about processing dates for K3.
There is information only for K1/K2. It seems that they do not review K3 applications???
kalinaFemaleBulgaria2007-08-14 06:34:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.

I do not know what 's happened with the K3-s.When I joined to this forum,almost everybody was approved within 3 (or if someone RFE-d,4 ) mos.Things slowed down since jun.I really disappointed,and feel restless.Nowadays,I am thinkin about what could we do if we "ll hit the 180 day mark.

Sorry for ranting,whining.
Everybody have a good weekend.


Zolanden, we will hit 180 day mark soon. But the bad news is that USCIS announced that now are processing cases dated the end of December for I 130 and January for K3. So we will receive the regular lie from them - "it is early about your cases, everything is in normal time frames, just wait." :angry: :angry: :angry:


Stay strong Kalina, Think of this as a test for your love, those heartless souls running USCIS will definetly realize and give your well deserved approval. Yea, they have no right to treat us this way in our own country...we are American Citizens in America G*dd*mit.. We have a right to have a family and be with our loved ones in a resonable time frame. Six months two approve two page application is not reasonble. :angry:

Thanks again Wish, your words make me stronger. We must receive our approvals soon. I feel them :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

I agree this is rediculous....she need her approval now... :angry: Thats it CSC I have had enough I am going to take a stand and do what I can do best right now.... :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:


Zolanded, Wish, really I am feeling very bad because of this complicated process. There is not many things which we can do. We tried to reach congressman help, but unfortunately they are on vacation in August. :crying: :crying: :crying:
Let's hope that we and all from this thread will receive this so long waited approvals. It is not fair USCIS to hold families divided with months. They don't have this right. They are so inhuman organization.

receiving an approval is a good feeling but that only lasts for a week...my restlessness and anxiety has returned and just called nvc and they haven't received my petition....... as of yet.

the point is the whole immigration process SUCKS at every point, more or less. :whistle:

Hi Neel, don't worry. They will receive it. Maybe today. You are in the finals and this nightmare will finish soon.
About my cases nothing by now. Not even a touch. :crying: :crying: :crying:

Normally when you call RFE line you will receive touches in two consecutive days.

It's only a touch, but it's the first activity I've seen since April! I swear I almost fell off my chair when I saw it.

kalinaFemaleBulgaria2007-08-07 11:32:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.

:thumbs: That's true... :whistle: I only used it once because my NOA1 didn't come and it was already a whole month... so I had a good reason to call (not sure if they got it or not).. but I see some of the people here are calling everyday with so many touches.. You are causing your "touches", not them... You should probably do this "RFE" trick maybe once every 2 months or 3... at least look to see if your timeframe is being processed (compare to others near approval... for example, the current "group" that are getting the approvals are in March 2007)... they should be getting their approvals in a week or two?? so if you are probably January or earlier, then it is good to call using this "trick" to see what happened.. :thumbs:


I think that it is more than normal for Jas S to call through RFE line. This line is for people who have sent additional evidence. So it is normal for him to call and to see what is going on with his RFE.
According to me it is not correctly for people like me to call if they have not RFE but if you are waiting and see that most of the filers in your month are approved you will be tempted to do that. The same I feel in May and June when most of the February filers were approved.

Jade2004, I am waiting since February too :( :( :( .
JasS, have you called them through RFE line. It is possible your petition to be approved already. More people here receive approvals soon after they have sent additional info to USCIS. Sometimes they don't update online status.
I join to Zolanden

I have got my everything crossed for everyone.
:thumbs:


Which # to call and how do I do the RFE trick?


Call Customer Service Number 1 800 375 5283 and choose option 4 for RFE. After that you will be required to input the number of your petition and will be directly transfered to spoke with somebody from CSC. Then ask about your cases and if everything is o.k. with your RFE.

Yes, I hope so. If not today at least next week must be our week. We can't wait anymore. :( :( :( USCIS please approve us and don't be so cruel with the families in the future.

Kalina

When your husband called them?
We called them twice,months ago,used the RFE trick,they gave a 6 mos response to my husband.
If your husband was told that your case were assigned,I definitely think you are on your way.
Do not say that it means nothing for you.God is good and you will be approved soon.

Regards

Congratulations and a BIG YAY for you! GO CSC...PLEASE GO!


Zolanden, thanks for the words but I became pessimistic about this. My husband called yesterday. At least we can see CSC is working again. Hope that we all will receive soon approvals.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.
Zolanden, do you call them through RFE trick. We called them many times and received only one response - you have to wait, it is not fair to review your cases before people which have filed in November, December and bla, bla bla.... The last time my husband called they said that finally our cases were assigned. But I don't rely much to this information. This mean nothing for me. I don't know how long it will take for the employee to review petitions. I am very upset because according to this info our documents stayed more than five months at CSC and nobody look at them. :crying: :crying: :crying:
kalinaFemaleBulgaria2007-08-02 14:16:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.
Yes, my husband has called them through RFE trick. According to the officer who answered, our cases were assigned for review before a week. That's was all information. They didn't gave average time in which the petitions will be reviewed. I don't know if this information is true but if yes - can you imagine - we have filed in February and March and before a week our cases were assigned to somebody for review. Maybe next week we will try to contact congressman or senator for help.
