Quition about upgrade I130

[Mike1976 0]

No this not true, your petition continues from time you upgraded! when you petition in Nov 2006 they did a couple months work on it, then after that they kind of put it on hold until the day you become a US Citizen. You can just call them to upgrade it. Then from there depending on USCIS backlog secruity check etc... It depends how long it can take.... But it should only take 3 to 4 months additional to prcoess an updated petition...I was told this when I went through the process as well from various government agencies including USCIS... So if you upgraded it in June be patient it's probably coming soon unless you are in secruity checks which can take longer. This was happen to us...

Good Luck

Hi all in VJ.

I just have a quition about the upgrade for I130.

I filed the petition back in novmber,2006 when i was LPR and i upgraded it on june 2008 after i became a US citizen.

Now i don't know what date the USCIS consider it for the petition. i spoke to couple of immigration oficers on the phone some told me the origenal date and other told me when you upgrade it you start all over again becouse you changed your status .

what do you guys think?

Yes K-3 visa maybe another delay.. For us it was and they ended up cancelling ours

You still have no approval?

Did you apply for K3 visa afterward? If you didn't then just make sure you won't do it because that causes some confusion....

Your original date doesn't change and priority stays same, you should be able to call them by now and let them know that your case is outside of normal processing time.

thanks for the reply. Yes i did applied for K3 visa too on augest , what is the confusion that may cause? i called the many time and made a service request and they sent me a letter to say my case still pending that's all .

tell me what's your experiance in this setuation?

Thanks.

Yes i called them and they did upgraded already and sent me a letter.

Hahaha did they canceld the I-129? that's funny. well i wish they cancel mine too but only if they are going to work in my I-130.

and I guess like you said they did some work on it becouse i saw a touch on jan,2008 couple monthes before i get the citizenship. oh well we will never understand the way they work in the offices .

My lawyer told me something funny too. he said with USCIS you need to be lucky sometimes.

Which number are you calling USCIS? You can try the RFE Trick and try the RFE line and get better answers if you nice about your file This is how I found out what stage they were are in my case... whent hey told me my I-129F was cancelled I was devasted, but then the officer told me no it's because you are at the last stages of your petition to be approved, you are in Secruity checks... But these damn Secruity checks took 3 months...LOL

So maybe you can try that....

What's the ref line? explain more. I usually cal the 1800 number for USCIS

[Nita&Assaad 0]

yes this is the number but you follow the voice regarding RFE... Like if it says if you received RFE push this number.. etc.. then a live person at the service center you are at will answer.. You can just say that you dont have RFE but want to ask about your case... tell them it past processing time because you filled in 11/2006..See what happens

Try it good luck

Do you think there is something i didn't try? hahaha i tryed everything . ofcourse i did that too

[nimche 8]

I don't think that RFE line for CSC still exist. When I got my approval for I-130 was the day before USCIS change the whole phone menu.

I have no idea how vermont is processing cases but MIke, hang in there man. This will come to its end soon.

Good Luck

Please help and share your experince and thoughts.

Thanks a best of luck for every one

i did upgrade mine OCT.7.2008 i called USCIS on the phone and also send in a mail copy of NOA 1 and copy of naturalization certificate

when i called on the phone they told me i should be notifi with in 45 days so i am waiting

[Nita&Assaad 0]

I just saw somewhere on Vj that someone upgraded there petition as well (from 2003) and they got approval less then a month. Now mind you maybe it was because their I-130 was waiting since 2003 so who knows. But I do know that once you upgrade it shouldn't take longer then 6 months to get an approval!! good Luck !!!
