I am glad we DIY our Visa and later Adjustment of status, I prefer to be in control, lawyers are good for situations that are complex like dealing with Waivers, or perhaps a NOID, or returned petition.

All I know about is my lawyer. Can't speak for others. I can't trust him to pick up his mail. I surely wouldn't trust them with a waiver or NOID. If I received an NOID and expected these clowns to handle it, I would just file for divorce. Tell my wife not to wait for me and get on with her life.



Hopefully this wont happen, but just in case IMOW - dont use that lawyer for the divorce -

Hang on its almost over!

Received this email from my Lawyer yesterday

"I have received the fee request from the NVC for your wife's CR-1 visa. I have not yet received the check for $400 from you. I will notify you when I receive it and forward it to the NVC. Thank you."

I show the check signed for on Monday. Unfortunately, they use a PO box at Mailboxes etc. (did a reverse lookup on the address" This is just the latest in their ball dropping festival. It never stops with these people. I turned 40 last week. Hopefully I'll be with my wife for my 50th birthday.

I could've had 5 RFEs, and still been ahead of where I am today. So moral to the story. If you're in no hurry to be with your loved one, go out and get a lawyer. It'll only cost you a couple thousand dollars and delay your case.



OMG TYPICAL BLIMEY SODS-

We paid online and then i informed our lawyer since they are so messed up and have no clue - just sent them an email this morning in fact telling them how incomptent they really are-and send me my file - they are done and dusted as far as I am concerned.

Damn mate, hold on also what about the 70 for AOS? Again alot of us just paid online bypassing alot of days waiting but i guess too late to say that now to you

Only wishing you the best and your right, we had RFE's up the kazoo even when I told the lawyer this and that - arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - do they listen- NO

Godspeed

Pro-

Dont know if this will make you feel better but two of my mates from VJ who are August and September filers from 2007 just got approved this week- one had intervention tho from Congress person - but looks like they may be cleaning up the files that were stacked in the bin (aka brit term for garbage can).

I think they update the page weekly. Up until a couple hours ago, it was dated Nov 9, and now it says Nov 16, 2007; however, I don't see that any of the Service Center's dates for processing have change (e.g., CSC still says 8/30/2007 for I-130s).


Hi delicia,

i too sent my I 130 for spouse to CSC on 12th sept. still no receipt. i wd like to keep in touch with reg you progress bcz our filed dates are closer.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNOA 1 Delay???
QUOTE (luckysprite @ Nov 18 2007, 07:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
ohmy - sadly - the delay goes much past october for I130 receipts. There are many people waiting since August forward who have yet to hear anything.

The reason for this is because of the fee increase in July. So many people filed to beat the fees that it seems the service centers seem to be working on bringing current all other types of receipts and holding off on I130s and N400's for last.

If you take a look at www.uscis.gov - on the side there is a link to the receipting updates and you will notice that they are not yet working on I130 dates past 8/30 (for CSC) and 7/29 (for VSC) while most other petition types are much further along.

Hang tight - it is all you can really do at this time. I have a friend who filed 3 months ago and has yet to hear anything. She called VSC on Friday (which was 90 days from when she first filed) and was basically told that there is just a huge backlog at this time and they are working through it the best they can. Nice, huh?


Its just pitiful the delays..but could u do me a favor since I do check alot of time lines....can u please change ur timeline as it shows u received 1-130 NOA1 on December 2007/

I can understand being sad about delays. I can understand being frustrated that life has to be put on hold while there are delays. I can even understand getting a bit angry now and then. But the truth is that we have zero choice other than to wait _if_ we want our spice/SOs to come to the States. If all we want is to be together than there is always moving to their country as an option.

I don't find complaining very productive if it is just railing at the system. It changes nothing and often the things that are said only serve to confuse other people about what is really going on and what they should to to properly work through processing visa paperwork.

Maybe there should just be a RANT ABOUT THE SYSTEM board setup so people can rant, but not muddy the waters.

I have no idea when my husband and I will be living together. So this means we will continue to live mostly separate lives (economically) and that we can only work so far toward our future together. That's the life we've chosen. Did we choose to have the process delayed more than anticipated? No. But that's life. We are grownups and we know that sh*t happens. So you roll with it.


thank you mary poppins

I think at this point, no one knows anything. What was the way to work last year is all out the window now.

How can they NOT progress beyond ONE single day of apps in 6 weeks?

Maybe you are sittting pretty, but I have important decisions that need done based on knowing if the process will even begin within 1 , 2, 3 5 or 12 years.



I agree with MsZ. If you are continously looking on the website for a new change then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. it has been said that the I-13o process is on an average of 6 MONTHS! Not 6 weeks! So stop looking for an update cause you won't get one. Just put it out of your head. I know easier said than done, but you have to look at the bigger goal not this short term website update goal.

There are people who got an NOA1 3-4 months after submission, but then the NOA2 rolled around maybe a month later, so in the end no time was really wasted. As long as you are ok with the idea that the ENTIRE process from application-POE will be around 10months to a year you shold be ok. Once things start pushing beyond a year thats when you should start ranting and raving and checking all the time. At the service center stage you are way to early in rants. I mean, you still have NVC and the Embassy to go through.

I'm sorry for your wait, but just look beyond and you'll start to feel some comfort in the situation.



Actually there is one case that comes to mind that he had sat by and waited he would be waiting until God knows when by the looks of things. Read up on GOGO and if he had not been on top of things calling and writing the WHITE HOUSE, his application would be sitting gathering dust somewhere for a long long time. TO EACH HIS OWN.

Actually complaining and stating the facts will IN FACT MAKE A DIFFRENCE IF IT IS DIRECTED TO THE RIGHT AREAS. I for one will not sit back and wait while the upper gods decide if they are going to levie fees today or whatever little project keeps them busy for the time being. TO sit back and be silent besides this great forum, omg NO WAY.

FYI - when speaking to Immigration Officer yesterday at CSC she did inform me that California was working on September 3, 2007. So lets see one day progress in what - a month or so - ffs - come on peeps, write phone do what it takes, we are American's and we have that right. Hit your politican's the time is right, election era coming up next year, hit the reporter who wrote a story here, but dont ever ever give up trying. To sit back and wait, well may work for some, but not for me. THIS SYSTEM NEEDS A GOD DAMN OVERHAUL.

Cheers



p.s If you have just recently begun the waiting period then let me hear from you in three months about not getting any results - otherwise you can remain silent FOR I WILL NOT!!!

Hi!

I sent I-130 for my wife on Oct. 10 (I am a US citizen), still I have not received my NOA1 from Nebraska Service Center. Could some tell me how long it will take normally.

Thank you


It is going to take awhile since they haven't issued NOA1 for folks who filed in September. All petitions submitted to NSC are transfered to CSC so they so far processed I-130 filed before August 30. Look at www.uscis.gov and processing delays posting.



Yes its pretty much a hit and miss situation right now. We filed in August and as of this morning I know of three VJ's from August and early September that have not received this goodie. Since mine was end of August, they put a tracer on it btw.

I DID SPEAK WITH an immigration officer yesterday and got a good one ...hmmm I think....anwyas they seem to be on September 3rd for all that are wondering.

Best of luck, but heard today they are saying the immigration process is now estimated at 14 months.

Where did you hear this information and I would think you are talking about the I1129 and I130' correct? Let me know as I have just emailed my congressman and have a travel date with a fellow VJ tomorrow to meet with someone on this issue.

My question is WHO IS THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE and where do I look to find this person?

Thank you for your help.


This is the site that I used as it narrows your exact Congress representative http://www.congressm...inedb/index.htm Just enter your complete address and if you know the your 4 digit extended zip code it will narrow your representative to one (which is what you want).

Good luck!

Does this apply to new applications only?

Hi ALES,
thanks for posting this new information on I-130 filing. I sure hope this new rule applies to new I-130 applications only but not to those of us whose I-130 is still in the mailroom. However, I am a little worried because it also says " While the changes are effective December 3, any form I-130 filed with the Service Center will not be rejected; it will be forwarded to the designated Chicago Lockbox". Since a lot of us who sent our I-130's before are still waiting for NOA1 and our checks to be cashed. What if the USCIS forward our I-130 from the mailroom to the designated Chicago Lockbox? Very worried!!!

No wonder these people are so screwed up. They think changing rules every other day is going to make things better? it only succeeds at making a poorly run system even more dysfunctional. What are we paying for?



Thanks for the laugh although I understand what you are saying.......I think we paid for grief and aggrevation 0hhhhh saving my next round of money for meds fyi to deal with their ineffiecny. ekk spelling sorry

If you know of someone who filed after July to VERMONT SC and has gotten a NOA please post the link. I think you got this confused with some other petitions which have been worked on. But the I130s are at the end of the line at both service centers. Only CSC is already at the end of August BUT even they haven't managed any progress over the past months. So please, if you have a link proving otherwise please post it. If you don't have one then please don't get people confused or their hopes up. I do not think that they just skipped all the August/September/October filers and will now work on November and then go backwards.

HI German -

Hate to deliver the news but some have and I am perplexed as to what happened to us August filers or even early September. Sighing but calm for today - tomorrow brings another round of phone calls.

Cheers luv


I think the people with NOA1s from Oct/Nov are K1 visa applicants. I haven't seen anyone - particularly from Vermont SC - who is applying for CR1 who has their NOA1 from Oct, or even Sept/Aug.



I only did timeframe around mine and out of the three of us, two did get their NOA1's (for I130) pretty quick from late August filers - just an FYI - as posted in other thread I dont even want to expand the timeframe lol - its Sunday, lol, try to be positive and not send too many letters to politicans.

Looking for information, tried search forums but seems to lack of info regarding the information I need. Me and girlfriend would like to get married I am from Canada and would like to move with her but unfortunately I have had some health issues and am concerned would affect me for getting for a visa.

I am presently on medical disability in Canada for anxiety issues and has been for 3 years and obviously don’t have a lot of income because of that or means of support although do plan to work when I am in the U.S..My fiance problay makes are 50k so poverty rule not a problem.

We are wondering how my work history/disability and medical condition may affect my visa application????????????

Not sure if getting married first or waiting to find out all information before hand would be best.

Any information or personal experience or knowledge regarding this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Not sure if Anxiety issues would prevent you from being issued a visa. If you have Anxiety issues now, wait until you start dealing with this process.


Oh daz lol blush.gif

Anixety issues are not grounds for denial, but depending on your medical results and how the doctor reports to the embassy, best bring a record from your doctor showing you will not become a public charge per se not will you do self harm.

Your assets will not come into play since your fiance makes more than enough!

God Speed!

It appears that USCIS Chicago Lockbox is "claiming" to have completed processing up to the 12th of October. Hmmm.....



You like that little announcement also i found it quite humerous myself/////// At least - at the very least - they should post the truth and not make people wonder why they have not received anything. But again, typical for USCIS,.

Good Luck on Journey..........

You are right, chet. If this was an actual company,....we would all be jobless and probably on the 6'oclock news "Enron-Style".

This is personally one reason that I want to be an expat, but I refuse to give up my country just because the government is going (gone already?) to hell in a hand basket.

Just as people say about religion,....it's not the religions that are bad,...it's the PEOPLE that are in it. hahahah.

Anyway, let me shut up before Big Brother comes lurking at my door. lol.

I read through some of the postings that we can send I-129F without NOA1 from the I-130. The waiting game is too crazy. Does anyone know what service center to send to if one lives in Texas (CSC or VSC)?



JUST an FYi - No process at all on I-130's from August on, no checks cashed, NO NOA1's nada nothing. So hopefully next year early is a good sign for all.

The I-129f is a different story, they are being processed.

Yes you can send other the I-129F without ur receipt number, alot of us sent both together as its acceptable now. Good Luck and I believe it would go to California, but double check on other threads.

Cheers and good luck and Happy Holidays.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow long does it take the CDC to review medical?
QUOTE (guinness1969 @ Oct 19 2008, 12:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
UPDATE:



Wednesday, October 9, my husband called to say the Embassy phoned to let him know his visa was ready to process. They apologized for it going to the CDC in the first place. They said they were going to look into what happened.

Anyway, SMS picked up his passport on Thursday and we counted it as well as Friday in the 3 days it should take to process it and get it back. Unfortunately, we got a bit worried when we did not hear anything Monday from SMS. We were unaware the Embassy took US holidays and were closed for Columbus day. So Tuesday the Embassy told my husband he would have his passport with visa on Thursday. And for once, they were right.


He flew home Friday and we are finally together.

Thank you all for your support, PM's and replies of encouragement.

Good luck to all,
Andy and LisaJo

Guiness-

Your email from the embassy says

The Immigrant Visa Unit is returning your passport to you, without a visa, as your application requires further review by a consular officer. In addition, your medical examination results are being sent to the Center for Disease Control for analysis. We can assure you that as soon as this review is complete, you will be contacted promptly.

When he had his interview it was only the medical issue and nothing else correct? I only ask because of the wording, in addition but that is just me being me....... Did he ever contact Knightsbridge and ask for the results besides what we know? If so and everything else was fine, then its up to CDC to complete and send back to the embassy.

I dont want to say that it will be quick, no one knows, but the UK does move fast on alot of issues, this one I am not sure of.

Try to google this issue and maybe you can get a hit from a thread somewhere out there in cyberworld- keeping fingers crossed and sending prayers your way

Cheers


I'm confused by the wording too. He says all the medical stuff was negative. But even if he had something bad, why don't they tell us?
I believe my husband when he says that everything else is OK. I know this is about the situational depression he went through. WHat I don't understand is, are you telling me there is no one in London qualified to read a psychiatrist report! I've read the CDC site over and over. I know ALL immigrants with medical issues go there, so how long does that take. All I would like is for someone at the DoS or CDC or London Embassy to say ' it takes an average of....'

Should he get a job and find a place to live? Are we talking weeks, months, a year?
Help!



Hun,

Post in the UK thread aye? I tried to find anyone with this situation but not coming up with anything on CDC and the UK - the only thing you have going for you is that it is the UK and they react or act quickly - what does that mean exactly, there is no concrete answer - i will try other google areas and see if i can find anyting remortly close and pm you.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGETTING MARIED OUTSIDE THE USA
jolles,

You filed for an I129f - so if you get married prior to approval for Visa, then the application becomes a moot point and you would then file for an I130 in states or DCF abroad -

Nita,

You are way over the timeframe and your case should have a case worker - call your rep back and get your case workers name - and then call him or if the office is close to you go there and see that person. Dont rely on voice mail, they are very slow to respond to that issue, but AGAIN, they are your best chance right now....

What reason are they saying for waiting a few more weeks - I may be tired but 2006????? Hell at this point I will call them for you - blimey gits

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering how can I sign up to get email Notifications from USCIS regarding both my Petitions I-130 & I-129F, I tried to search the whole web site and I can not find how to do this.. I get normal notification when the web site in general is updated but not how to get Individual status email, like everyone seems to have when they mention “touched”. Any help would be Great! I am going CRAZY with all this waiting. I haven't been able to go see my Husband in one year crying.gif and I thought I would enjoy this forum for support.

Look forward to anyone's help!

Thank you

Nita


Thank hun will keep you updated. Had a super great conversation with professor at USC today with regard to USCIS and what is going on. Will post soon but its super informative.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCase Lost between NVC and Embassy
QUOTE (MissLove @ Feb 10 2008, 03:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi All:

Does anyone have any information, suggestions, input on how to get the NVC to resend a petition to an embassy.
It's been more than 3 months and I'm getting the run around from the Ghana Embassy (shocking) and the NVC.

Ghana says they haven't received the documents - but when I was there 3 weeks ago, they didn't see the need to have it resent. The Dept of State, Visa Office, confirms that the embassy hasn't received the documents and (supposedly) requested the NVC resend the documents ASAP. The NVC informed me that they can not resend the documentation without a request specifically from the embassy, not the DC Dept of State Office or me. (How can an embassy request a petition be resent if they don't know they were supposed to get it?)

I finally had a breakdown when I got through to the Ghana Embassy after an hour of trying (those of you familiar with the embassy are probably more surprised that I go a real person who didn't hang up rather than the length of time it was before I got through); and the man on the other end confirmed that the petition hadn't been received but they would only request it be resent if I sent them a letter with my signature asking them to request it be resent on my behalf.

I have sent a letter with a copy of the NOA2 and the letter from the NVC saying they sent it Nov. 8, 2007 - and my signature - to the Ghana address via FedEx. I also sent a copy to the DC address for the Embassy. And a copy to the NVC.
I have little faith that this will actually work.

Has anyone else had a similar experience that they can help me out with a solution? Any advice would be appreciated.


OMG this is horrible - i am totally gobsmacked - totally uncalled for - did you try going to the region in the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem - since its NVC I am not sure your Senator can step in, but wow, I feel for you - and wish I could give you an answer - it seems sureal -

Darn this one hurts!!!!!!
