Hi everyone,
My name is Elohor. I am a Nigeian with 2 kids, leaving here without my husband. We got married in 2000, tradition marriage. I came to the US Nov. 2003 with our kids. Went back in June 2005 to make our marriage legal. Filed the I-130 for him August 2005. All I got from USCIS is the NOA. My case was transfered to california office this year. For the past six months they have been working on January 2005. I am confessed, did i do something wrong? Is it because I am not a US citizen yet? Why is it taking so long? Is there any thing I can do to help my case?
I am happy to be here. I would love to hear any advise and meet anyone with a case similar to mine.
Full Version: Too long!

That timeline doesn't sound right. You might want to get the USC's elected representative involved

Thank you for your reply. I gave them a call two days ago just to hear from a human being. I asked why they have been working on January 1, 2005 case load for EIGHT months and the respond I got was that the have a back load and when they got to my case load(August 2005) they will let me know. That particular office is a big mess. I no for sure that i am not the only one with similar case in California office, that is why i am here to hear from others what they think and what they are doing about it.

I take it that you are a PR, it would take about 5 years for a Visa number to become available, so you have just started the process. You should obtain Citizenship as soon as you can, there is no wait for Citizens.
Ok thank you. This is my 4th yrs here, so next year I will file for my citizenship.
