found out today that the USCIS only needs my passport and my birth certificate. Apparently my birth certificate had a tear in it and they needed the original size and I had the wallet and I guess my passport wasn't clear enough ether. So I got a original size birth certificate from the health department and along with the passport and I scanned them and emailed them to myself. tomorrow I will print that passport picture in color and I will send that original birth certificate to my attorneys by mail. So its not too bad or difficult of a problem. THANK GOD! Then sit back and wait for an approval!!!

Sweet! I hope it's that quick! Thank you boss

 
They say they'll review your evidence within 60 days, but it's usually faster than that. Another June filer with Philippines beneficiary received an RFE and was approved two weeks later.

Curious as to how long after uscis gets what they need in that RFE to approve it?


 
I guess it's not time for congratulations quite yet, but I'm glad they've finally looked at your case! It really is about time! Hoping your RFE is quick and easy so you can hurry onward to NVC.

Besides that the letter of transfer states 60 days not 90 and furthermore uscis had only moved "ONE DAY" from February 12, 2013 to February 13, 2013 the whole month of December and this month. So I don't think another 30 days is going to make much difference. It's time for them to WAKE UP and smell the coffee!

No I'm just going to put a service request in and ask for a tier 2. Already tried the congressman's office on it and they ate no help either. I'll just keep on calling and calling and calling until they do something sooner or later they'll get tired of it.

I got a response email from nsc and apparently is 60 to 90 maximun to get an approval from them if I wore you I get in contact withyour congresman office and have them put in an expedite for you

It is currently 60 days today since the transfer and no change of status so far. Get ready uscis for a flood of calls tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day and on and on and on because I WILL NOT STOP! UNTIL THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY CASE!

It says the uscis WILL TAKE ACTION on your case within the 60 days of you're transfer! It doesn't say maybe or might or you have to wait longer this article is coming from the uscis.

The USCIS handles millions of petitions and applications for this country each year--an honorable and needed task. Even the agency's most ardent critics will readily admit that the workers of this agency face a daunting and serious challenge in speedily and fairly adjudicating all of these application while at the same time protecting this country and its laws.

What no one understands is how the agency decides to prioritize the adjudication of this massive workload. That some petitions and applications will have to wait longer than others is a given; that the spouses, children and fiance(e)s of US citizens should have the longest wait times is a proposition more than a bit harder to understand. For the past two years, first thanks to the President's extra-Constitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and then for his also extra-Constitutional Provisional Waiver program, the immediate family members of US citizens have been made to bear the burden of increased USCIS Service Center workloads (all, it might be added, to the benefit of people who broke US immigration law to come here and have been retroactively given psuedo-status by Presidential executive order, without the express permission of the US Congress to do so). The first victims of these programs were I-129f filers for K-1 fiance(e) visas. The wait time for these petitions ballooned from 3-5 months to over a year in 2012, while DACA filers were granted speedy approvals (almost never refusals) in less than 5.

In January of 2013, the wheel turned and I-129f filers began to see 3 month processing windows. To compensate for this, and for the President's new Provisional Waiver program for unlawful immigrants filing from inside the US (not approved by the Congress of the United States of America), filers of I-130 petitions for US spouses and alien children (!) were simply stored and delayed for almost 10 months, until a backlog of over 400,000 of these petitions had accrued. The USCIS is now working to end this backlog, but this tremendous backlog has resulted in wait times in excess of 10 months for an I-130 petition, and this for a visa which must face two more lengthy steps, the National Visa Center step and the US embassy step, in addition to any additional administrative processing which results from a US visa interview, before it can be granted.

Asking the spouses and parents of aliens to wait for something approaching two years (or more, depending on the additional Administrative Processing the embassy in question decides to take) to see their loved ones while unlawful immigrants are quickly and efficiently granted permission to reside here and even legal status is unacceptable and, what's more, unlawful, since the Immigration and Naturalization Act mandates US authorities to give first priority to the immediate family members of US citizens. The USCIS must in the future give priority to the applications for legal entry to this country of the spouses, children and fiance(e)s of US citizens. The USCIS must dictate that each month it will adjudicate a certain percentage of US citizen relative and fiance(e) petitions, as this is the priority which the law demands these petitioners be given.

Thank you and God bless the United States of America.

USCIS Customer and I-130 Petitioner



What is the point you ate trying to make in this statement? We all know they do not go by their own laws that they make!

Ahah! A representative from my congressman's office called a bit ago and emailed me a form to sign for me to release my information to them and allow them to handle my case!!! So I went to the local library and printed it off and filled it out and then went to my local city hall and spoke directly to the mayor! He faxed it back to my congressman's office and I explained my situation and frustration to them and WOW I can't believe IT! They are going to help us with our case!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!

 

I bet that USCIS is going to feel the heat and pressure now on them! Its not right making people wait to be together I understand their process and things but this amount of time is ridiculous.

anyone know anything at all about how this order of process goes? Because I'm quite stumped. March? April? May? June? Now correct me if I am wrong but I have seen June filers getting approved here as of late and yet the 1-800 number I called a couple of times now the person...(Whoever it may be) says "Oh they are currently processing Feb. 13th cases". Now how am I supposed to get that? How am I supposed to understand that? Anyone? I guess I am just trying to entertain my thoughts that have been worn out from W. A. I. T. I. N. G.....I miss my other half!!! I feel for everyone else waiting as well.

called the uscis today and they said Nebraska are currently processing Febuary 13th 2013 cases which I called at the beginning of this month and they said to call back at the end of the month because that's when they update their process times. The first time I called they said they were currently working on Febuary 12th 2013 cases. REALLY???? In one month you mean to tell me they only moved ONE DAY? well I told the guy that that wasn't true because I mention this website and see June Filers getting approved but all they really looking at is a computer screen like me and you all are. They have no more information that that of what they see on the screen they look at. It frustrates me so I go to my local city hall and ask for the congressman's office. they give me the number. I will get something done because I AM TIRED...!!! IF I have to talk to a representative of my congressman that comes to my local city hall I WILL! IM so so tired of the Lack of Information that comes from that number given by that uscis.

So my wife finally had her interview and she has submitted a SG police clearance, NBI, AND a certificate of no marriage prior to me. Waiting on those docs sent to the manila embassy. Just wondering if any of you can answer and shed some light on how long before they issue her a visa? She has already passed her interview! A simple question of how long now?
