I have this sick feeling deep in my stomach. This whole process is stressing me out. I can't do a dang thing to move it along.. I can't concentrate. I feel so horrible about all of this.

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

this is the response from the Senator's office this morning after my plea for help AGAIN.

  

 

 

I realize this is stressful but I trust the latest update from my liaison at the Texas Service Center.  They are adjudicating both the I-130 and the I-129f per their correspondence to me.  I have no reason to believe my liaison would not be telling the truth.  In addition, customer service is not always able to see the full updates on pending cases; Congressional liaisons do have access to the full files though.  In addition, when cases get held up due to security checks or requests for evidence, the processing times posted are no longer applicable.

 

Thank you for your Tuesday, February 18, 2014, email on behalf of your constituent, Ms.Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx , regarding Form I-130  Petition for Alien Relative and I-129F Petition for Fiancée.

 

USCIS records show this case is in transit to the unit where it will be assign to an officer.  The background checks have been resolved, therefore a decision or some type of action will be made within the next 30 business days.

 

Thank you,

Rachel

I just booked a flight for the end of March to go see my husband. I was supposed to wait til April but the tickets are $1000 in April.  I had enough miles to get a free ticket for March.  SIGH ...  I miss him so much. We are arguing alot and I really think its because of the distance. I feel extremely bad for the waiting . The lawyer told us 6 months when we first filed.  its already double that and still we haven't heard anything. Only lies from everyone I call.  We still have a waiver to file.  I can't take this process anymore.  I feel terrible that it is taking so long.   Its been a rough couple of days for me  cray5ol.gif

 

OMG I really need an approval .  I need something good to happen. I have lost hope.

My files probably have a thick layer of dust....that's why they couldn't find them. Lol it's not funny but I can't think of any other explanation.

I was notified last week that our extra security checks were resolved ave my files are now with an adjudicator. I think they lost our files and ran out of excuses so they used the EXTRA SECURITY CHECKS as the excuse. That's just my opinion though. Hopefully this week for us DVMAN

I wasn't able to log on from work yesterday but I was reading from my cell.  This is the response I received from TSC yesterday

I received something similar last week via Senator Toomey's office but saying 30 days instead of 60 days

 

 

The status of this service request is:

 

We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. We have had to perform an additional review and this has caused a delay in processing time. Your case is currently with an adjudicating officer. You should receive a decision or notice of further action within 60 days.

I've been reading from my phone today. I received 2 e-mails from tsc answering my January 13th service requests. Both said the same thing. The delay was due to additional processing but now my file is with an adjudicator. A June aoproval makes me sick. I have been so depressed lately. God help us all

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

BS of the day.

 

I called tier 2 today to find out if there was anything new.  To my surprise. in the system it states my K3 was only transferred on Feb 10th.  although I have a hard copy that says it was transferred on November 27th . tier 2 was even confused so he OFFERED to do another service request . He also noted that the TSC never replied to the other service requests I put in on January 31st.

 

Everyday its something new.  SO VERY TIRED OF THIS ENTIRE PROCESS

 

I'm starting to think they lost my files and used the background check as an excuse. Maybe on Feb 10th they found them. then I get this on the 19th:

 

USCIS records show this case is in transit to the unit where it will be assign to an officer.  The background checks have been resolved, therefore a decision or some type of action will be made within the next 30 business days.

 

They used the word "RESOLVED"....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

 

Thank you LoveMyTico. Makes sesne I guess. But what I fail to understand is that if NVC has the schdule of all theor embassies across the board, why do they wait to schdule the interviews. I mean they already know who they have schduled so far and what opening they have in their emabssies then why wait for days or weeks to give out the dates?

they don't have a special time. When the embassy provides the dates, they schedule ... if your embassy doesn't fill up on the first week of scheduling, then the scheduling is on-going.

Anyone got interview scheduled either on Friday 05/30 or yesterday 06/02. My cases have been completed but they havent scheduled or given me any date for visa interview.

it depends on what the embassy provides.   Your embassy might have 30 openings and another embassy might have 50 openings... They schedule according to what they have.  Its not limited to the last week and the first week of the month . It is  ongoing

Maaaaan, I miss me some DD!!! I remember being in Boston a few years ago and there was literally one on every corner!
Now the closest DD is in Illinois (booooooo).

I told Agent Meg she made my week and told her to have a great day, I could tell she was smiling when we hung up. I hope everyone who gets her gets good news and a pleasant attitude!


I spoke to Leigh last night.. I could tell she was smiling too. She said CONGRATULATIONS.. and I said OMG like 15 times. And I asked " are serious?"    My husband got up early and sent me a message on Whatsapp saying he is so EFFING happy. And when he told his mom, he sent me another message saying how happy his mom is for us !!     I am so tired  but today its a GOOD TIRED... 

 

I love DDC ( Dunkin Donuts coffee)  They are at every corner around here.  PM your address and I'll send you some !!

I am hoping the overtime speeds things up for everyone.  I think it will !! especially if the fees are still delayed.

just called NVC .. they received my cases on June 2nd . and i got the case # for my K3 , not really sure if theres any use for the K3 case # at this moment,  and no case number for my CR1 yet. . :cry:

I got both case numbers the same day they were received  so call multiple times a day.. Once they search and see you have a K3 they will give you a case number for your I-130 and close the K3.    GOOD LUCK !!!   Read the wiki in the first post so you don't make silly mistakes and lose precious time !


I hope so. Me and Bdrew want July interviews!!  :rofl:

So happy for all my L-girls out there - LoveMyTico, LucyBelle, and LifeOnHold!!!  Congratulations!!!  And all the others, too!!!!

 

I'm in Australia - so I cannot call until much later tonight (if I can stay awake that long!) - but I checked my CEAC page and both my AOS and Civil Documents say "N/A" at this point.

 

Now...my AOS has been complete for over a month now - it was the IV packet that was holding us up.  So I don't know what to make of the N/As on our screen - but I will call as soon as they open (which will be 7 a.m. on Tuesday EDT US - and 9 p.m. Australian Eastern Time Tuesday night), and find out if we have good news too.

 

Praying that LindyStephan gets good news soon, too.  Steve and I have been neck and neck since we got our Case Numbers....

So, LoveMyTico hasn't posted in close to an hour :unsure:  I'm betting she got excellent news and is sharing with her hubby!!  :goofy:

I was on hold for an hour... talked to Lee.  I acted all dumb asking about the N/A on the AOS fee all of  sudden and she said " Oh don't worry because your case is COMPLETE. You are waiting for an appointment now"   My heart dropped.  and then I had to gather myself and call Carlos because he was waiting for me to call him back.   We are sooooooo  happy. 

 

After 11 months at USCIS. I never thought this day would come.  I won the bet with my husband too.  He has to buy dinner and do shots of tequila with me.    I can't wait to see him... OMG OMG

 Same here in CR, eggs not refrigerated. I was weirded out at first, but look it up! No reason to keep eggs in fridge! (We buy eggs at farmers market and then do put them in fridge, because of my gringa habits!!)

My mother-in-law has chickens. We eat them the day they are laid !!   and boy do they look and taste  different than store bought in the US...

 

I was skeeved out by unrefrigerated eggs too,  There are expiration dates on the egg cartons in the US . Maybe you don't have to refrigerate them but I don't think I would eat them otherwise.  Gringa habits die hard :rofl:  :rofl:

So I think it is safe to say that when AOS changes from PAID to N/A that your case is complete because I just spoke to Ivette and she was like "We have reviewed your documents ma'am and everything is fine. Your case is COMPLETE!!!!!!!!"

And then I yelled, "FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!" ::insert dancing emojis with sunglasses which I have been saving for Case Complete and now can't use them because I am on a mobile device::

Thank you so much to all of you with your patience and well wishes. I will continue checking VJ and commenting to support the ones that have supported me.

I get the same thing when I us the link...  It takes me back every time

 

 

I  sooooooooo want to call right now...  I know for sure my AOS said Paid today... And I just happened to check again because it was posted here  again...  The N/A for the AOS instead of paid is not clickable either.     I have to wait  to call because if I don't get an update, I'll want to call later  ....
