IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTill what month's VSC applications are going to be transferred?
QUOTE (frali @ Sep 29 2008, 04:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
In the past couple of days I have noticed that applications transferred from late Feb and early march from VSC to CSC have been approved by CSC. Curious to see if VSC will start transferring more I-130's to CSC.

Comments?

Our receipt date was Feb 29 but was not transfered to CSC . Case here still pending. Hopefully this Oct miracles will happen to all of us who are waiting patiently.

QUOTE (Math Man @ Oct 14 2008, 06:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Well, it finally happened. I just checked the USCIS website, and today I was approved! It's 9 months to the day since VSC originally received my petition.

Anyway, I hope this gives some hope to all VSC-to-CSC transferees who are still waiting. It looks like CSC may be starting to crank out the approvals again.

Congrats!!! I'm happy for you, after the long wait u finally goit it. I wish they transfer us to CSC at least we can see the light of the tunnel. Hopefully..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresA question for those who ask to expedite I-130
QUOTE (MAO36 @ Jun 7 2008, 03:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes,

A touch was generated but only after they decided to go ahead with my expedite. They dont physically pull your case until you have sent over the supporting documentation and it's reviewed and accepted. Only my opinion...... I filed an expedite, got the Inquiry #, then the next day I was touched then approved.

I just wonder why your request for expedite was fast, how did u do that? my husband sent expedite letter to the uscis 1 week ago but until now no response yet, he also sent email to their senator 4 days ago and phoned them, the lady in the office said they got like 100 emails everyday and that they cannot attend all those mails overnight, and said you will have to wait until we'll reach yours. Well, its another waiting situation, wondering when can they read my husbands email. We're confused.

Here's what we did in contacting the Senator's office in a little more detail:

USC Husband called the Senator's office .... spoke to the immigration team at the state Senator's office .... explained we needed help with our expedite thru USCIS ..... they emailed a release form (immediately) for The Privacy Act 1974, and we faxed that and our package to them ..... my USC Husband drew up a cover letter (for the package) basically stating that he was a resident of that state and requiring help ..... explaining when we sent our file to USCIS ..... the case number etc ..... then stated which expedite criteria we were applying under ... and an outline of each of the situations under the criteria ..... they were listed very clearly ..... the letter was catchy, to the point, not emotional, very factual, and wiggle room free ..... then thanked the Senator at the end for his help on this matter and said that it would be an unforgetable act for our family.

The Senator's office then called my Husband and said he'd hear from them soon ..... we sent our stuff on a Friday.
Monday afternoon, there was an email from the Senator's office with a very brief one line email from Vermont attached .... expedite approved.

Dear Kipa&Sarah, I am happy for you guys!! My husband sent expedite letter to the USCIS a week ago but until now he has not yet receive any response from them, he also sent email to their senator 5 days ago and phoned them after but the lady in that office said they are receiving about 100 mails everyday and that they cannot attend all those mails overnight, and told him to just wait until they reach his. Wondering... how long do we have to wait again for the senator to respond. Oh, he forgot to give our case no. but gave his email add and our visa application number telephone, and other personal info, is that ok?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan you help me this?
I have pending applications for myself to this date, but my inquiry is about my daughter, she’s an OFW working as Nurse in Jeddah,KSA but now she’s currently on vacation here in Manila with us, purposely just to meet her fiancé who comes all the way from the US, according to her she will finish her contract which yet to end on Mar 9,2009. Both their return flight will be on next month 2nd week of July thereafter her fiancé will file for her a K-1 visa , the question is, Could it be possible for her to be interviewed in Jeddah, instead here in Manila while working there & possibly go directly to US fallowing her visa? Wouldn't be a problem about her Document verification? Another question: I have an unmarried daughter age 23, Can I petition her after I get my green card? How long will it take to bring her to the US.?

Hey, dont u notice that cases with touches same date as mine 5/6, 5/7, 5/8 have not been approve yet, take a look on the spreadsheet here. Like couple hunny & hunnybunny; sirinaphia n scott; jeca n ivo, adri & michelle, wifey n hubby; rose n adams; sohel & khaleda; Marlo n Mitchell(thats me of course) & you too. I think our cases was assign to that same adjudicator who does'nt care those people who are waiting for approval for so long. This waiting situation is an ordeal, its sucks, my husband cannot concentrate anymore on his work, he's been losing weight becoz of separation anxiety. I'm worried about him, hes suffering so much & very lonely. On the 19th of this month our case will be 7 mos already. My friend here "pink" who filed later than us was approve last Jul 2 & will leave anytime this month to USA but shes lucky she's in CSC so the approval was fast. Im really hoping that this month miracles will happen to us, it will be our turn now. I hope too that whoever that adjucator assigned to us will work & approve all those who are waiting like us, he maybe sleeping in his desk.

QUOTE (mrc1330 @ Sep 16 2008, 06:30 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I noticed something while looking at the processing times on USCIS. VSC and CSC both report more or less the same times but we ALL know that CSC is waaaaay ahead of theirs.. and VSC is not even close to February 2, 2008. However i noticed WHY? VSC processes a specific petition that CSC does not...

The N600.

Clearly an election year, pressure from the candidates, pressure from our own senators who lie to us about how they cant do anything to help us. Its clear that for aliens to be able to vote is more important that family unity. I guess USCIS thinks it's organized in SLAMMING one service center to to do all of the work while the other one approves petitions sent in July. We need to bombard the Ombudsman for ever week that we dont see at least 10 approvals. If we are sad and bothered and frustrated so should they.

We have the same sentiments, i symphatized those who are waiting for approval like me for so long. My husband & I so desperate already, we dont know really what happen, the waiting continous and it seems like eternity. This week as i noticed has no actviity for vsc, and will continue next week again until Sept will end, then comes Oct. ...will wait n see who will get the lotto jackpot.

Hey, My husband & I are one of those waiting desperately for our NOA2, we filed 1-130 feb 19 & 1-129 Mar 25 we get touches apr 17.may 7 & 8, after that no more until now. its been 7 mos now of waiting, we are tired already checking status online everyday, still no changes. My husband sometimes cried and very sad thinking of our long separation. he's so anxious to see me again, he wanted to visit me here but he's aware that he might lost his job when he comes back to the States and losing his job might joepardize our petitioned besides he's not that rich to go back & forth here in the Phils. His boss wont allow him to go on leave twice a yr, last time he was here was Jan of this yr, so its a complicated matter. We feel so helpless now. we dont know if we can get approval this month. Oct is approaching its another month of desperation, .... been long time already, sighhh.

Your I-130 and mine are only 2 days apart. Maybe we'll get some good news soon. I only had one touch which was 9/27 and then nothing... I'm starting to worry that they just looked at our application and said, "Ah, don't like this one" and tossed it...as we never got a touch after that (and others usually get several touches in a row).

February filer here, just touched once 5 mos ago and nothing fallows. Waiting for NOA2.

I agree that Jeca should be the next. Surprised their case didn't end up at CSC last month! Next week we will write to our congressmen and start calling VSC. This is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE! By now we should all have our VISAs in our hands!

I think the only 05/08 touch approved was Paris? Anyone else?

Our case was touched also 5/7 & 5/8 but after that no more touches and still pending, & waiting..hoping...wishing Vermont plssssss APPROVE us!!!. iTS about time the waiting is tooooo long for us. Lord have mercy on us.
Guys pls include us in ur list.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVSC is very FRUSTRATING!
My husband called VSC Cust.Serv today & the guy he talked told him to wait for another for 4 - 6 mos. that makes him mad, I don't know if he's telling the truth or just talking silly maybe trying to upset my husband. He even told the guy that " look, My wife & I are old couple already, I am 56 going to 57 & my wife in the Phil is 53, You see, We are not getting any younger, we only have a few years left to live in this world. Can U just give us consideration?" That guy also told that they are still working on the Nov. fillers. When he was asked about our case why it takes too long that until now we are not yet approve. He answers the same thing based on that USCIS Website by just reading on our case status that says "PENDING''. Last week when he phoned the local USCIS office the guy answered that they are working on the Feb fillers. So, how come they have conflicting statement. OMG!! My husband feels so helpless & so frustrated now, he don't know what to do anymore. We are so pathetic !!This people don't really care our feelings being away from our spouses. He wanted to just move in here but its hard he has no job here & he cant leave his 91 yrs old mother in the US alone she is sick of dementia, nobody will look after her, its so complicated & very aggreviating. We already asked the help from our Senator but nothing happened.
I still hope that miracles will happen this month & for all those waiting to get Approve. Sighhh crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif
On Oct 19 we will be 8 mos already.

If you read the "Letter to the Judiciary Subcommittee" and sent it off with your info, please let me know. I just want to gage how many fo us sent this letter and what an impact it made on the senators. There is power in numbers. Hope to hear from you if you sent it--Thanks!

My husband in the US had already dropped this letter 2 days ago.
