IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	Oh wow. May the time that you're apart go by quickly!!   thank you	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-03-04 20:55:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	UGH. I guess I was lucky on my 2nd try bc the T2 told me almost right away. Well, Ms. Martinez originally told me TSC and my heart sunk a little but was instantly about to accept that answer when she suddenly went "Oh wait no ... hold on ... no. You're going to California." Why can't they all be consistent with the information they have/provide? Annoying.     When people get the "Alien Registration Number has changed" e-mail. Sometimes it's an indication of a upcoming approval (NOA2).   Yea I was hoping to get lucky, but nope. I'm going to guess we went to CSC also, seems to be that the same day transfers go to the same service centers. And after tomorrow night I really won't be thinking about where it is until I get back into the states. I just can't wait to see my husband its been almost 8 months since we saw each other last.	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-03-04 14:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	Well I tried to call twice today. First time got a very argumentive tier1 that tried telling me that my petition was at my local service here in NH. I then was transferred to a tier 2 who told me the same thing. Bunch of bull lol. Then this afternoon I tried again played dumb and was transferred to a tier 2 who was argumentive this time and told me it was also transferred to my local service center, when asked where that is he simply said Manchester NH lmao  They all need to get on the same page. Oh yea I was told multiple times that Im still in the current processing time.  I'll probably try again tomorrow before I leave to go see my husband for 2 weeks	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-03-04 14:19:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	Sorry bdrew612 I have no idea what my PD is bc I never received a paper noa1 and when I called they said as long as I have the receipt number I'm fine lol and they wouldn't send another notification. I know it was received on the 17 and noa1 on the 23. Can people please double check their info, as it could be throwing off the spreadsheet and possibly making people unnecessarily nervous.    I need the priority date NOT the NOA date.	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-03-03 04:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	Well I guess my pd date must be before the 23rd. But I have no idea because I never received the paper NOA1. Praying for more transfers tonight.	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-02-27 08:03:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	Praying for September transfers today:)	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-02-24 06:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	Yes they do need to know, I just hope with them contacting USCIS it changes something. My husband and I are always looking towards the future, just really hate this time apart. March cant come soon enough for either of us. I wonder if mine representatives responded so fast and in other , because im from a small state. I hope they get back to you soon. This wait for all of us is long. I just cant wait for it all to be over so we can enjoy our life together. Lots of prayers for all of us.   That's pretty impressive that they all replied back to you! Yeah, I had to send a signed privacy release form before I could even contact him, so I'm waiting to see how long it'll take for them to get back to me. I wish they would do it in a manner other than through the US mail.   We all know how you feel. It doesn't seem fair to see other people with their spouses carrying on with their lives while we have to wait to start the rest of our lives. But as I've said many times before, this whole time apart will be a blink of the eye in comparison to the time you'll be together, which will be decades! Just keep optimistic and try to plan for the life you'll live together instead of being reminded that you're apart.     I'm glad you're being proactive too about contacting government officials to get involved! They need to hear more of what's going on from the applicants instead of trusting USCIS!	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-01-25 22:04:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	That's relieving to hear! I hope my Texas Senator's office (highly doubt he would do it personally) actually looks into it and I hear something back from them. They said they would contact me through USPS. How did yours contact you?   I'm sorry you haven't seen your hubby in 6 months. The longest I ever went was 8 months because we were saving up for our wedding, thinking the entire K-1 Visa process would be done before then ... and we were wrong. That was the worst, but I'm glad you get to see him soon! Just stay strong!   One of my senators contacted me by phone to go over the whole immigration process, the other one contacted me by mail and my congresswoman contacted me by email. They all requested privacy statements which I gladly filled out and faxed back to them. I figured the more phone calls they received by government agencies the faster they would work. Well one can only hope. I just hate being away from my husband. I can't wait to see him in March its just not coming fast enough. I don't think there is any fast way to go through this.	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-01-16 19:26:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2013 I-130 Filers	I also wrote letters to both of my senators and my congresswoman, with responses from all so far. They have all contacted USCIS on my behalf and said that september filers are looking at April right now with how processing times are going. Its just very frustrating I haven't seen my husband in 6 months. I cant wait to go see him in March. This whole being separated is very hard on both of us.	samni	Female	Ghana	2014-01-15 21:18:00
