Should I be concerned?

[livindadream 156]

I filed the I-130 petition back in May 2013 for my husband so that he can apply for the CR-1 Visa. I sign into the USCIS site from time to time and a few days ago it still stated that they received the petition on May 16, 2013 etc etc. That update was posted on May 20th and it has never changed. Today I tried to sign into the site again and I got this message:

Could there be a glitch in the system or should I be concerned? The username and password are stored on the computer, so I know I'm not entering it wrong and I only tried once when I got the message. Has this ever happened to anyone? Also do you know of any May filers that have received the NOA2 yet? Thanks for any input.

Ok, while resetting my password, I might have figured out why it didn't work. The site said that the passwords expire after 90 days, so that might have been it. Soooo, that being resolved....could anyone tell me if they know what month filers are getting their NOA2? It seems like it's taking forever. And as much as I love living in Ghana with my husband, I'm getting a little disenchanted with this place :/

I also filed this petition in May 2013. I received my NOA on May 9th, 2013 and that's about it. I'm getting anxious because I miss my hubby so much. Good Luck to you

dwheels, I sent it to the Chicago Lockbox. That's where the USCIS site said to send it if it was a stand alone I-130 for someone living in Massachusetts. If they forwarded anywhere else, I wasn't informed about that.

Yes I know that. Look at our I-797C I am sure its at Overland Park.

All I-130's after May went there and before from August 15, 2012 they had went to Lee Summit, Missouri.

Heck we have January and February filers still waiting . Seems the center than was sending to individual local offices and there chaos reigned for many.

Glad to see you bacl AyosGirl.

Yes, your I-797 will show where the petition was sent, at the bottom of the page.

As far as processing times at NBC, the VJ links appear to show they're part-way into March 2013, moving into April, via:

Hope you hear something soon!

The problem is, I was in Ghana with my husband when the letter came and I had someone getting my mail for me. When they got the letter, I just had him give me the MSC number from it so that I can sign up online and keep tracking it. By time I got back to the States, the letter was misplaced so I don't even have it to look at. I called the USCIS number this morning at 8am and asked them where it was sent. After being transferred to someone I thought could tell me, they just said it was at the National Benefits Center. I said, "but aren't there several places it could be?" and they said, yes but its at the National Benefits Center. That's ALL he would say. ugh. So frustrating.

If your receipt number starts "MSC" then your petition has been sent to the National Benefits Center in Missouri.

Actually, forget what I said. It could also be in the Kansas new place where petitions are just piling up. Oopsy.

hmm....When I read your first post, my face lit up....until I read this one!! lol I'm willing to bet at least 75% of us on this site would be willing to VOLUNTEER our time to help them process petitions so this could go faster!!
