I have a tracking sheet going and it shows the pending/approved I-130s for CR1/IR-1 filers. Click the link to my blog in my signature and there is a link to the spreadsheet on the top right corner of the blog.

I currently have found 5 October and 1 November filer that have been approved.




I HAVENT been approved... im an october filer for k3 but i will take whatever gets approved i130 or k3.. im waiting.. its gettin realy frustrating now.. and plus im from VSC.. i barely see any approvals for that which is starting to worry me... sad.gif(

Hang in there Hyd.. I'm an October I-130 filer at the VSC and have yet to be touched but once when they updated their systems to add cases to their net system.. they should be starting on approvals again soon!



HEY KITTY... WE BOTH HAVE THE SAME EXACT TIMELINE... I HOPE WE HEAR GOOD NEWS SOON.. I THINK VERMONT IS NOT WOKRING ON K1'S AND AS SOON AS THEY STOP THOSE THEY WIL GET TO US AND WE WILL SEE APROVALS ONE AFTER ANOTHER LIKE CSC ...... I HOPE smile.gif

My husband has a certified copy of his birth certificate - will NVC accept this? I am confused if certified and original are the same or not. Also, does he send his police certificate to NVC or is that only needed at the interview?


Both BC and PC will be needed at NVC for appointment posts. Certified copy is fine. I plan on sending my wife's certified copy of the birth certificate to NVC, too.


The certified copies must be certified by the issuing authority. For example, my marriage certificate was issued by the Registry of Marriages here so I had to go back to them for a certified copy. A copy certified by someone other than the issuing authority (a notary public or similar officer) is not adequate.



my SO birthcertificate only has his monther's name on it. It is the original one. Is this going to be a problem??

Hey again to all,

Today my husband left Toronto to go back home. I am totally sad and it breaks my heart knowing that we are not going home together, kind of like that bitter-sweet. I loved that we were together celebrating our child's first birthday BUT he is gone and the process begins again for me.

I cant begin to explain how frustrated I am, as I am sure most are here, but the hope fades more and more and I start becoming VERY negative, thinking that this day that we will be a happy family will never come.

Months ago we spoke to a USCIS Rep and as I was quitely breaking down over the phone the "ASSURED" me that the point of USCIS is not to split families apart, but to bring them together. Ha, at that point I had to chuckle because, its quite the contrary--I know people on here that could not continue their relationship/marriage- I feel for them.

I am pissed and tired and I apologize for venting here, but there is no better place!!!

Thanks to all who listened and may light be with us on these dark days.


I am right there with you. A lot of us are.
We really need to do something
You are almost at your 180 days. When you get there you need to raise a stink. Call your congressman everyday.

I must have misread that thread then.
Who implied you were lying about the call?
Personally I was just really curious about more specifics of what was said, because this was a positive conversation for a change (unlike the usual call back when you're a gazillion days after our posted processing times).

Hi catt,
I got 3 very ugly PM, I was not happy to see them, but seeing all those approvals yesterday was a breath of fresh air.
Good luck, have a nice weekend.
Paris Heart


I don't think anybody even implied she lied about the call but she did fail to deliver any actual information, as promised. There was a perfect opportunity to ask the questions the folks with cases at VSC had on their minds, and we still don't know if those questions were asked and if they were, what answers were given. Other than "We talked a long time about a lot of things and I feel better now." there simply was no actual information about what's going on at VSC contained in any "report" of the 50 minute call.

I simply wish people say they are going to do something, actually do it. The call happene but we got no information about it, not even how she managed to get through to an "officer".

We got more information from the single sentence posted a couple days later by another, indicating both I-130 and I-129F approval notices were emailed. We still have no information about why not a single member's I-129F for spouse got approved at VSC for several months, but we now know one was this week. We don't know if it was an accident/mistake by a new adjudicator or a change in policy we'll see more of going forward.

I don't understand why this question wasn't asked, or if asked, why the answer wasn't provided here.



she was OFFERING help and volunteering what she knew. she didnt owe any of us anything. She simply wanted all of us to feel the hope that it made her feel - so if you thought it was all "fluff" with no real "report" then you didnt have to post a response to her. I for one am thankful that she found hope, did her information give me hope-no...but I am glad it gave her hope and I am more than glad that she wanted us to feel that SAME hope. I dont understand why you are so offended..

They might be faster or slower but they told her 30 days crying.gif It doesnt matter at this point, I doubt she will be here before 2009 anyway so im not going to try to rush things. VSC is setting a pace of atleast 10 months for the I 130 as it is now, so they are really 10-12 months just for the I 130. If i get approved in November which is 1 year from when I filed there is no way to have everything done before 2009, i will be lucky to be done with NVC in Jan of 2009.

Hey guys-
Wow RAJAA!! SO SOON!!!!

I need help!
I have lots of pictures and I have gone to visit my husband about 10 times since we were married, two of those times spending 2 months there each. SO- with that being said...what other evidence can I use?
We have like hotel receipts in our names..we have rent receipts in our names
BUT we dont have phone records (I called from a calling card usually) or many letters (because the JA mail system is horrible!).
We have a few letters he wrote me and a couple of cards and I think like ONE email

so..???

I am here!
I am waiting for the interview!
and trying to get tax stuff figured out because I want to have the 2008 info before I go down for the interview because in 2005 I was a student and just barely made the cut off..so 2008will give me three strong years...

who would have thought that I would be needing to use the ITIN again this year sad.gif
