I-130 August 2012 Filers

[ALSA 2]

Hopefully all of the August 2012 filers can use this thread to keep each other updated on the status of our cases. It is nice to know how others with similar filing dates are doing. My I-130 was sent to VSC and from all the reading I've been doing, they seem to be very backed up. I hope they can pick up the slack. I am really not wanting to wait more than 5 months. I hope we're all in for a smooth ride.

Hi ALSA,

I got an email (NOA1) that says my file is being sent to Vermont also. Aren't some people getting through in less than three months? I'd love to see my husband here by the end of the year!

Good luck and best wishes

From my knowledge, the only people getting through in three months are ones that were routed to the CSC. Also, that is only the first stage which usually takes the longest. Then you have to go through the NVC. The whole process approximately takes 8 - 10 months if everything goes smooth. Unfortunately for us, we will not have our spouse's with us before the end of the year. Unless we get expedited for some miraculous reason, but even then the process will need longer than 3 months. You should also fix your timeline. Patience is our friend.

From what I saw on the graphs, there are cycles. If you look, you will see what I mean. Throughout the year, CSC is not always the fastest. Right now, it shows CSC approvals took three months, and VSC approvals now took five months. However, this coming November it could be different. Those updated graphs could show VSC approvals at that time could have taken only three months (that'd be us!). Hey, I'm trying to think positively!

By some miracle. That's what we need! A little blessing called miracle. If we have faith we will get through this.

I filed on the month of August and is still on the initial processing. Got my noa1 email and mail. Got sent to California service center. they said 5 months for me. But I sure am praying for SOONer rather than later !! Will keep you posted when I receive my noa2.

Blessings!

Can we try to find out how many August I-130 filers cases have been transferred to the National Benefits Center at Lee's Summit, Missouri?

Did all the cases transferred to Lee's Summit come from the VSC?

How can we found out if this is a good thing? Maybe this will work out faster for us? (sent to NBC for processing because VSC is overwhelmed)? I read that NBC has helped with I-130s in the past for backlog reduction.

Is there any way that this transfer of the newly received I-130 petitions to the NBC can be bad for us?

Hi Treva!!!!

Have you checked your status recently,you remember I was sent to Lees Summit too but I think we're now back at USCIS.....I have no idea why some of us seem to be travelling around.......when my husband called about our case being in Missouri he was told it wasnt an issue..its still worrying though when you feel you're the only applicant there.

Hi Lynndy!

Yes, my status says the same thing...

"The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office."

...by USCIS office, I think they are referring to the USCIS National Benefits Center in Lee's Summit, Missouri.

I checked the postmark on the transfer notice. It was mailed from Vermont.

I did get a notice of receipt (postmark shows mailed from Chicago) that says VSC received my case. But this notice was dated earlier than the transfer notice. Someone in Chicago was just slow to put it in the mail. So, untiI I get any more notices, I feel sure my case is still at Lee's Summit.
