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

We waited 3 weeks for RFE to be looked at after they received our document, and today approved. No idea what to do next. It's funny when we got notice of the transfer I cried with happiness but now we have approval I feel nothing. I just know it could be another 5 months or more still.. Ugh. Hope everyone is holding up alright.

 

Congrats and good luck for further process.

Finally got our approval at 7:15 this morning. Timeline updated as well. I kinda figured NSC would take the full 60 days but they didn't. My transfer was 43 days in. For those waiting I hope your approvals come soon as well, that way you too can be one step closer to being complete again.

 

Congrats and good luck for further process.

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

Hi all

I got RFE.
We have lawyer but still they put us RFE. WHAT A POINTLESS.


 

Were you transferred to Texas? On what date were you transferred?.... Wish your RFE is a very simple one....


anusprasMaleIndia2014-01-09 08:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Well I got an RFE too. Now I am waiting for the actual letter to see what exactly is missing. I sent in everything as per the instructions on I-130

 

Were you transferred to Texas? Your service center has not been updated in the April sheet.... Wish your RFE is a very simple one....


anusprasMaleIndia2014-01-09 08:17:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Congrats to those wo were approved! It gives those of us who are still waiting some hope.
 
Let's hope that the people working on our applications make New Year's resolutions to be more productive!


Please let us know your transfer date and which service center you were transferred to so that I can update the April spread sheet with your details....

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

My husband and I sent in his application back in April. I was feeling hopeless after my latest call to the customer service line, but reading this topic made me feel a little better.

 

His application was transferred to Texas on December 13. Every time I check our case status online or call that 800 number, it seems the message is different. The worst was today! Up until today, the automated message said to wait 60 days before filing a complaint. But now it says to wait 180 days! I think this is the most frustrated I've ever been! I cried and then drowned my sorrows with margaritas with my parents.

 

Pl. fill your Time Line first.

Congrats!!!! Happy to hear a April approval, even though a late news. 


anusprasMaleIndia2013-12-30 10:24:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

My main issue with this whole process is:

In the name of clearing backlog, a good number of April apps were transferred to Nebraska in mid November only to be stuck there again while later cases transferred to other centers leapfrog over them. That is incompetence of USCIS, at best, or a deliberate diversion at the expenses of these people. To add insult to injury, after clearing NVC's backlog, they are approving apps from May and June now. So the April filers got shafted twice! Those who transferred to NSC got swept under the carpet so that as a whole USCIS is making progress in moving the process time along. What a jib!

 

What you are saying is absolutely true. Kindly fill your Time Line so that every one can know your PD and transfered ot which service center? 


anusprasMaleIndia2013-12-24 13:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Does anyone know if the USCIS is opened today?    I have to work, so why shouldn't they?  They have more work to do than me , that's for sure.


Ha Ha.....Well said..... Hope they hear this loud and clear!!!

Well that gives me some hope..my PD is 4/19...and was transferred to TSC on Nov. 15..so maybe they will get to me soon! I still may go stand on the corner in front of their offices on Saturday smile.png Make sure to update the shared document to reflect your approval.

Just found out we were transferred to Texas Service Center. Not what we had hoped for, but let's see what happens.


Yep not the best place to be in, but still good to know where your file is now.. Thanks for updating the spread sheet and wish you good luck!!!

Guys!!!!
 
I just got approved about an hour ago I am so excited! I got approved at about 10:30 eastern time smile.png. I was at CSC~!
 
PD 4/15
 
Also: I didn't send my birth certificate nor my husbands for those who got RFES: I was born outside US so I just scanned all my passport.






3 consecutive April approvals one after the other all from CSC. CSC seems to be on a roll... Congrats to all 3 of you.. Wouldn't regret if I am transferred again to CSC from NSC!!! Have updated all 3 approvals in the spread sheet... Congrats again!!!

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but NSC has been dragging its feet.  Texas isn't exactly churning them out at lightning speed either.  
 
My husband just told me he just wants an approval for Christmas.  Me too !!   This is ridiculous.  Christmas isn't even fun this year.


Is some one working on the April spread sheet??? Why are most of the rows hidden??? I am unable to unhide them.... Just don't know what's happening!!!!

If an approval doesn't come from TSC this week for me, I am going to be very discouraged going into the holidays....I really don't understand why they are so so slow compared to other service centers....


At least TSC is showing us glimpses that they are surviving and alive..... Not sure if NSC even exists... Just take a look at the April spread sheet..... I am stuck in that hell hole....

anusprasMaleIndia2013-12-15 22:51:00

Thank you. Please let us know your service center once you receive the hard copy of your transfer letter. Shall update the spread sheet... By the way I also hail from Colombo, Sri Lanka. Was born in Colombo and then moved to India....

I think the formula for calculating % of those who reported transfer with NOA2 is wrong in the April transfers spreadsheet. It divides NOA2s by pending cases instead of dividing NOA2s by the total transfer population. I tried to change it but the formulas are locked. Is there someone out there who can change it?


Living In Hope, I just corrected the formula. Please take a look. The numbers look more meaning full now!!!

Agreed.... The formula for calculating % of those who reported transfer with NOA2 should be NOA2's divided by the total April transfer population. Can the spreadsheet admin correct it ASAP please... The approval percentage is exaggerated as of now......

Guys quite a few April approvals were not updated and a few names who were transferred were left out in the April spreadsheet.... I have updated everything till date by referring to the comments posted in the last 100 April thread pages. Unfortunately the approval percentage diagram has got corrupted.

APPROVED!!!!!  WOOT!! WOOT!!
 
Just received the text and email message!  It has been a long and arduous wait but step one is in the books!  I am going to sleep well tonight! 
 
My case was approved at TSC today so fellow Texas transferees, have faith!  Things are starting to move along.  Thanks to my VJ family!  Sharing our frustrations and celebrations is what has made this process slightly bearable. 
 
Best wishes to all those that are still awaiting approvals.  I will update the spreadsheet in the morning.

Just got a call from my wife at 4:45am here in the UK telling me that we've just received our approval email! It was definitely worth getting woken up for! Our NOA1 was April 9th and we were transferred to CSC on 21st Nov. We received the change of Alien Registration Number email literally 4 hours ago. Our officer must have been staying late as we received the approval email at 04.40am here which would be 8.20pm Cali time!

Best of luck everyone!


Please update you time line. Congrats on your approval and wish you all the very best.

The same here. I got third and fourth text messages this morning saying the same thing, sent to another USCIS office for processing, but only one third email. Hopefully we hear something from them soon.


Most likely both of us should receive the hard copy of our transfer letter next week. I am pretty sure we will land in the same service centre. Would be great if it's CSC. They seem to be rocking at the moment!!!
