Do not bet any money on the adjudicated time that VJ timeline data states.

If you filed cleanly, there are no discrepancies-problems in you or your petition (names come up clean), they do not have to search for information and no RFE is generated….then you should be able to get an idea on time from the USCIS “Processing Dates”. They claimed last month to be working on September (CSC). They seem to be moving faster and are over the majority of last summer’s petition flood.
Example: We filed I-130 the end of October. This was our date, which was used for the prioritization of when our petition would be processed. We were approved on April 2. The VJ timeline data said it would be June.

Remember that VJ members are only a tiny percent of the overall immigration petition arriving at USCIS. They are suposedly hiring more workers...so they say. If things become more stable over the next couple months, then the VJ timeline data, may become more accurate.

I hope this helps…. and I wish all a quick process.



thanks for writing, that definitly helped ease my thoughts a bit on the whole timeline thing.

so alas there is still hope? wink.gif

wow...wow....wow

i really hope that they are right with what people say on here about the people at uscis...

so i called USCIS...luckily there is no RFE on my case wink.gif BUT she pulled my case and looked and said it'll be around another 158 DAYS until its processed!! i was like WHAT??! and i said do you mean from the date i filed or from today, and she said no mam, 158 days from today!!! i wanted to scream but the lady was rather polite so i was being nice, and just said....wow.. and she said i should be happy its only that, that the last lady was calling about her aplication on her 4yr old daughter and her estimated time was 892 days from today, and that i should be grateful its only that amount of time.

im in shock. im upset, and this is #######..... thats like another 5 months....FROM NOW. so aparently the vj timelines may not be so off....that would be september/october time sad.gif


p.s - no touchs on my case were made from this call.

Okay now I am confused, how exactly do they figure out our time lines? Ours all seem so different and yet we sent them in at the same time. WEIRD!


Ralu&Doru - I understand what you mean about the money and work and EVERYTHING in the universe seeming to be against us when we're planning a trip to see our spouses. I spoke to your husband about two weeks ago and he was telling me he was going to be coming to see you soon. We were all very jealous! My birthday is May 28 and our daughter is due June 10, so just like you I'm hoping and praying that one of us will get the good news for our birthdays. The only thing for us that would be hard is that the consulate that deals with visas in South Africa is about 5 hours away from me. So hopefully I can get everything taken care of so that by the time we get both passports for my daughter and she's old enough we can make the long trip home. Our goal is to be home before Thanksgiving, but realistically we know it's probably just a dream.



yea i was wondering the same thing on how the heck they come up with these dates? they seem so random, and jump around all over the place.

our goal is to have him HERE by christmas, im hoping thats possible.

8 more days and i'll be on my way to venezuela, thank god. im going crazy here!

Ralu&Doru - thanks for your compassion for our family. sometimes i am so bitter about the fact that this is happening to us now after four years of being together and after a year of marriage. however i think everything happens for a reason and i'm just trying to find the silver lining to our situation. holidays are especially hard when you're celebrating them alone but we have decided that once cody is here we're going to have a couple days of celebrating for all the holidays we missed. its not the same but its the least we can do in our situation. how often do you and your husband get to see one another?

Danyel - so nothing comes from going through all that except to get a touch? it isn't going to prompt them to do a little more with your case? cody hates talking to those people cause they do nothing but bull #### and if you do get a descent person you have to wait forever to do so. then even after waiting forever they just tell you to wait a little longer. for some reason when you call before you submit your application they are really nice and friendly to you but afterwards they treat you like some kind of criminal.

random question - when does everyone's vj time line say their i-130 application could be approved by?



mine says it should be adjuticated by september 30th sad.gif im hopeing its much sooner than that!!

Ralu&Doru - I totally understand how you feel! This endless waiting is hard enough, when you see some cases taking 50 days and others taking 350 days it doesn't leave much room for hope. It's too bad they couldn't just put all these people to work doing name checks and just let us in. It's not like we're trying to get in so that we can work illegally or something. We just want to go in to be with our spouses and those we love. I could honestly wait a year while they process my application to work or whatever but I would rather be there with my husband. The thought that he's going to miss out on who knows how long of our daughters first year of life breaks my heart.

Danyel - What exactly is the RFE trick? And wouldn't a fake touch cause it to take longer?


Vernon, it's cases like yours that break my heart knowing that so many people are suffering being away from each other especially when a baby is involved. The strangest part is that despite their requests of proof in order to make sure of "the bona fides of the marital relationship" and the very complex way in which they process the cases, ironically those "not so just" applicants who are doing this just to get to the US will get approved sooner. And I bet no one can say for sure if a case is for real or not.. If one wants to fool them about a relationship they will fool them! There are ways... And those of us doing this just out of love are left behind. I'm so tired of this illogical way of approving cases... it obeys absolutely no rule!
I'm sorry that I'm so upset today. I miss my husband and who knows when I'll see him... Easter is coming soon here in Romania and he won't be able to come and neither can I go to Cleveland...

Danyel, I was going to ask about that "trick". What is that exactly?



This is the RFE trick, its where you call the "request for more evidence" line. where you actually speak to someone. and it usually generates a touch on your case. but the touch doesnt really mean much in this one because its only a touch from them pulling your case online.



With the RFE trick you'll be able to speak with a breathing person on the phone:

* 1 for English,
* 2 for main menu,
* 2 for reporting an issue,
* 4 for more evidence,
* then 2, 1,
* then entered our case number (with the WAC at the beginning, that is 922+10 digits).
* then it took us to a representative in the service center.


For the VERMONT Service Center, follow these steps...

1-800-375-5283

* 1 for English,
* 2 for main menu,
* 2 for reporting an issue,
* 4 for more evidence,
* then 2, 1,
* then entered our case number (with the EAC at the beginning, that is 322+10 digits).
* then it took us to a representative in the service center

Wat's up with the USCIS website. The processing dates haven't been updated yet. It still shows February 15 as its posted date. They need to put the updated processing dates for the month of March. This processing dates are good indication of how fast the files are moving. Hopefully they update the dates so, I can stop checking thier website every hour for the update.

Late,

i know, i've been waiting for them to update the site as well...knowing them though it'll prolly be a couple more days til they actually update it. i think it took them a week to put up the update last month.

Thanks for support smile.gif



congrats!!! and the number will be printed on the back of the check tongue.gif


No case number on the back unfortunately. Just bunch of computer printed stuff - probably related to cashing the check. I couldn't located anything that starts with THREE letters (ESC for vermont).

I will keep my fingers crossed and hope NOA1 arrives in the mail this week.

Thanks again guys.



hmmm thats odd...actually its EAC for vermont, and WAC for california. and the computer printed stuff includes your number tongue.gif

Still, what else can we do other than wait and pray? Let's keep our minds busy and remember beautiful stories about our relationships. Anybody wanna share a beautiful experience? Maybe wedding stories and photos? Might help us pass the time...


well congrats on the noa1 for your I-129 smile.gif

i wish there really was more we could do besides sit and wait! i wish we could at least get updates or something to focus on. but its really too early to do much of anything but sit and wait.... and im impatient tongue.gif therefore i got myself a plane ticket, and im flying to see my husband at the end of next month lol

What kind of special review could it be under? Didn't everybody submit an affidavit of hardship with their I-130 application?



okay yea, what the hell is an affidavid of hardship? i never heard of it!? and why would they want you to be happy about being under a special review? lol why did cody call today? soooo many questions for you! lol hopefully i'll be able to chat it up with ya tonight honey lol

oh boy lol im so confused, i just wanna be with him NOW! lol


that's the attitude i have about the k-3 visa, if they cancel it and send you a letter its not going to make the world of difference. however if they do approve it you'll be together sooner. and granted some people would rather go to the cr-1 way cause it's cheaper in the long run, but honestly i would rather pay the extra $1000 later on and be with my husband sooner. but its a personal choice every couple has to make cause the money might be an issue for some. good luck making the decision!



money is an issue, but its definitly something that could quickly be solved lol i think i might get this I-129 out tommorow maybe...will see.... im still borderline about it lol

how long after your checks did it take to show up online?

does anyone know what the different letters at the beginning of the receipt number means?



The three letters at the begining indicate which service center your at. like mine said WAC which is California, different letters represent different service centers, so what three letters do ya got woman?

I haven't received my receipts either so I called USCIS and an immigration officer told me filing both forms at the same time could result in delays. I'm now thinking maybe I should just send another I-130 petition on its own


i don't know if sending another i-130 would be such a smart idea. my husband called yesterday and spoke to 2 different ladies about our situation. both said that we should not worry they a.) have not cancelled the k-3 visa and it won't happen for a while and b.) shouldn't have caused issues if we sent the applications in together so long as we provided all the needed information. we then asked about having him come out here and doing DCF because apparently it's a lot quicker and they both said that you have to cancel your old applications before you submit any new ones to prevent them putting your case on hold until they find out what the problem is. she said just because we haven't gotten our noa1 or had our check cashed doesn't mean nothing is happening to our case. they handle cases differently if you submit both applications together. so my thinking is if you cancel your old application and submit a new i-130 yes you may get a noa1 sooner but you don't know how it will affect you in the long run. we decided we're just going to wait it out and see what happens. they have to cash the check within 90 because otherwise it is no longer valid. i have read stories about people who wait almost two months for their noa1 and then right after they get it they get their noa2. so just have some faith and all will be sorted out. i know its hard believe me i'm going insane waiting for this and trying to plan the arrival of our first baby but you just have to realise you really don't have any control over the situation so it's not worth stressing yourself out. good luck and keep in touch!


so it sounds like him calling was a good thing huh? smile.gif you sound like your feelin a lil better about the situation, which is great! i'm glad you've calmed a little of the tension you were feeling.

Danyel y Miguel,

Ignore my previous post and see if the following make sense.

Do you think it is a good idea to add a column for the I-129 people with a column of I-130 sent date and Service Center? It might be also good to add column for service center for I-130 people.

Because the I-129 sent date is not same as the NOA I date. My notice date on the letter is 2/27/08 and I didn't received the letter until 3/3/08 and I won't be able to send the I-129F packet until 3/4/08.

Even though I sent the I-130 and I-129F together, I plan on sending a new packet with all of the same documents specifically for I-129F to my designated service center.

For Example

Name I-130 Sent Date NOA 1 - Notice Date I- 129F Sent Date Service Center

What do you think?


Thanks,

Jigs
