Full Version: ANY JANUARY FILERS LEFT FROM CSC
I think you're probably approved. A lot of people tht filled in January didn't get USCIS updates, email, or hard copies. You should call the National Visa Center (603-334-0700). And select the options stated that will get you to a live person. Give this person your WAC number from USCIS. My guess is you'll find that you've already been approved and the case has been forwarded to the Embassy. Be sure to ask for the new NVC case number (this is the number you will need whenever you contact the Embassy).
If your case hasn't made it to NVC, call USCIS and ask them about the status.
If your case hasn't made it to NVC, call USCIS and ask them about the status.

Thomas&Cyril,
I am sort of in the same boat as you...I got my NOA1 one day after you...and I am beginning to wonder what is going on...I have heard that the majority of January (if not all) filer have been approved...and a high percentage of february filers as well...if you do call USCIS please let me know if you find out any new information!
I would really love to know and the waiting process is dreadful...
Good luck and I will be praying for a speedy approval for you!

I am also in the same boat. Transferred to CSC on May 11th, a few touches since then and last touch was 23rd May. Since then not a thing. I also look at the timelines on here and most people who filed @ CSC in Jan and some in Feb are now approved. I suppose we will just have to sit and wait....
I'm sure the country of the beneficiary influences how long the process takes ! Out of all the early Feb filers approved at CSC - only ones remaining is Dilly & myself with Egypt & Qatar ( even tho my wife is a Indian national ).None of the approved ones where from that region .I guess they go a step further at the CS's for certain countries......just speculating
According to http://warsaw-visaguide.hypermart.net/provision.htm, you are correct. Applications get divided by region the beneficiary is from.
QUOTE
THE PROCESS AT INS
Mail Room: Your Petition will arrive at the INS Service Center's mail room with hundreds of other Petitions.
Intake: Your Petition will be taken to an Intake Clerk from the Mail Room. This Clerk will look it over for all of the proper forms. They will not examine any paperwork, but simply take the form checklist (that they have memorized by now). For example, the checklist will say "(1) Form I-129F, yes here; (2) G-325A's, yes here, (1) Birth Certificate, yes here, etc." Your Petition could sit on the Intake Clerk's desk for days, especially if the INS Service Center is busy.
Processing: Your Petition will be sent on to the Processor from the Intake Clerk. This person assigns your case to a specific Examiner.
Examination: Your Petition will be sent on to the Examiner from the Processor. This is the actual person that inspects your Petition to verify that your relationship is valid, that you are an American Citizen and so on.
Central Processing: Once approved, your Petition moves to Central Processing, where a Divisional Director separates your Petition by region, Asian, Central America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, etc. This task is only for categorizing your Petition.
Outtake: After being classified by region, your Petition is sent to an Outtake Clerk. The Outtake Clerk assigns your Petition an "A number" depending on your region.
Distribution: After being assigned a reference number, the "A number", a Distribution Clerk will carry out any special acts, such as cabling the Embassy. The acts are a result of notes made by the Examiner, not you by you.
Information: If you call INS, you will speak to an Information Officer. This is a glorified term for "INS Secretary." The only access they have is the INS Service Center's computer network, which will not tell you anything more about your Petition's status than you hear on the INS telephone voice message. They do not interface with Examiners, who are much too busy examining than to cater to specific requests.
EXPLANATIONS
Non-sequential examinations: Approval is happening to other K-1 applicants who submitted their Petition after I did (according to the I-797 notice date). At the INS Service Center, various Petitions are randomly pulled from the files to train new Examiners. Most likely, an experienced Examiner grabbed a Petition out of the stack to train a new recruit right there at his/her desk. They then subsequently approved the Petition (lucky Petitioner!). The Petition the Examiner grabbed may have been anywhere and hence explaining why it was "out of order" or why the approval date is earlier than other Petitions with earlier I-797 notice dates. This is happening everyday, Examiners are training new recruits everyday. If your Petition was approved in a very quick timeframe, say within 10 days, it was most likely pulled for training purposes.
Request for more information: There are no rules here, just based off of the Examiner's judgement. If the Examiner requests additional information, it will delay your Petition from about 1 week to as long as 1 month, typically. Your Petition will most likely be sent to the "back of the line." Possible reasons for a request for more information include:
Your fiance(e)'s last name matches another last name of a Beneficiary from a previously fraudulent marriage. Supposedly, INS holds a list containing the names of previously fraudulent K-1 marriages.
You or your fiance(e) did not sign the I-129F or G-325A form
Examination is 15 minutes: The actual examination process typically takes 15 minutes, that's it. On to another Petition.
Priority given to most paperwork: If an influx of non-I-129F paperwork arrives at the INS Service Center, your K-1 Petition could be sitting for a very long time, until the backlog of other paperwork is examined.
K-1 decision legally set at 30 days: No, nothing legally binds the INS Service Center to process your K-1 case within 30-days. Unfortunately, the goal of within 30 day processing is stated in most of the INS Service Center guides, but may not necessarily be followed.
G-325A carbon copies: The duplicate G-325A carbon copies are not used anymore, the INS Service Center actually will throw these away. Your whole Petition will eventually be filed electronically, once the Outtake Clerk assigns it an "A number." Still, you should definitely submit your Petition with the carbon copies, but no need to worry if not every carbon copy is legible.
NSC: The Nebraska Service Center typically processes as much paperwork than all three other INS Service Centers combined. This may help to explain longer waiting times.
File cabinets: Petition paperwork is held in file cabinets before the Intake Clerk pulls it for examination.
Mail Room: Your Petition will arrive at the INS Service Center's mail room with hundreds of other Petitions.
Intake: Your Petition will be taken to an Intake Clerk from the Mail Room. This Clerk will look it over for all of the proper forms. They will not examine any paperwork, but simply take the form checklist (that they have memorized by now). For example, the checklist will say "(1) Form I-129F, yes here; (2) G-325A's, yes here, (1) Birth Certificate, yes here, etc." Your Petition could sit on the Intake Clerk's desk for days, especially if the INS Service Center is busy.

I´m still waiting, too. As you can see in my time line, we got touched on the 21. and 22. of May. Until then nothing...

Although that is interesting, I would like to see when they published this information. Referring to the pages of the G-325A as "Carbon Copies" makes me wonder. Huskerkiev made some great posts about the process (being a former adjudicator ...they are not called "examiners") and some of this differs from his work.

What is the number to call? I called CSC today at 1-800-375-5283 and was a total waist of time! Each and ever option was a dead-end. Is there a better number to call?
Thanks,
Max.
I'm also a Jan filer with CSC and I've been wondering, WHAT"S TAKING SO LONG? We did recieve a letter our case was approved. I'm not sure if this is considered the NOA2, because it was just a letter and not a form like the NOA1 (which actually said Notice of action). So should we recieve another NOA2?
We got that letter at the end of May and we're still waiting for the packet. I've noticed other couples, even with fiances from Mexico have already had their interviews...
So why is it taking so long with us? Dealing with all this stuff with immigration, the NVC and the consulate is like wrestling with a black hole...

Please fill in a timeline and add to the database. If you received a letter saying it was approved...then yes, that is your NOA2. Check the guides and call NVC, if you received approval in late May it is probably at the Embassy. You can get your Embassy case number through NVC. Then email the Embassy and see where it is at, you're close to finishing this trek, congrats.
Thanks Etripke,
I did recieve an email from the consulate saying they sent us the packet back in late MAy. We still haven't recieved it. I called USCIS today to see about changing my address and the NOA2( I hadn't read your email, new to this site AND blogging/chatting in general). They said we weren't approved til June 27. Very wierd... Just looking forward to all this being over and getting to be with my fiance again....

Find out what your case number is from NVC. Once you have that you should either call or email the Embassy and see where things are at. USCIS has really given out some confusing information over the past 2 months. Your actual approval date should be on the I-797 (Notice of Action) that they sent to you indicating the approval.
You need to stay on top of this or you may be waiting and waiting and......
Not always true... My petition was approved May 3rd but I got caught in the whole not sending out NOA2 thing. So on my hard copy, it states that my approval date is some odd day in late June, though the period of validity starts May 3rd...
For those calling USCIS, have you tried following the prompts for an RFE? You can talk to Cali that way, rather than the unhelpful call center
That's how I found out I was approved.

Have you tried to call USCIS or NVC???
NVC has automated response system 24h/day (1 603 334 0700). All what you need, is your Receipt Number from your Service Center.
Maybe you are already approved...

As you can see Im playing the waiting game too. When I called in on the 5th they said in 20 days from that date I can make a "formal" inquiry about the case. The uscis processing times should update tomorrow and hopefully I will see some action then. I feel for you, make you feel like we are lost in a black hole huh?
Jesus h! You two (chasnik and Thomas&Cyril) must be BEYOND upset. That's just out of order. Their 6 month timeline is SUCH BS too.
chasnik, I saw where you had contacted your congressperson - any further updates from them? Thomas, have you considered contacting your congressperson yet?
There is almost nothing worse than the CSC 'black hole'.

Oh and it looks like the new BS dates are out.
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtim...eviceCenter=CSC
You should both be able to make a formal inquiry now, chasnik, as they have passed your NOA1 date.

I got an email saying they had resent their inquiry because they hadnt heard anything either. Those dates should update again on Wed or Thurs and be in our time frame. I am upset...it is driving me batty, but Mohammed says this is our destiny and we must be patient. I used my patience the first month lol!!! My NOA1 was on Jan 03,2007 so I have a few days before I can do an inquiry.
The date at CSC now shows Jan 13th for I 129fs.
Well shoot, that link didn't work for me now.

Hmm I see dec 14 but heck I am all for being able to do something now!
Strange! Maybe you need to clear your cache (temp internet files) to see it? I clearly see Jan 13th.
It finally updated for me, I dont know what the issue was. I called today and used the rfe selection. Instead of sending me to the national customer service it sent me to the California service center. This was a first for me. The guy was very friendly and stated that my case had been assigned to an officer and I should hear something soon. Maybe this is just their version of the brush off but for someone who has never heard anything more than a person reading from a script this was wonderful!! What do you think? Is this progress?

I'm not sure, chasnik, but maybe your call prompted something. If you don't hear by the end of the week, I'd be inclined to call again Monday and tell them you want to put in a formal inquiry Or is that what you told them today? In which case it does sound like they're giving you the brush off!! 
And congratulations Thomas&Cyril!!! (Although I think, in your excitement, you typed the date wrong in your signature. Unless your NOA2 was in February.
