Why others who just filed recently an I-130 petition are approve faster than ours who did file it months and months ago.

Our case was never move and touch. We did try all; check it, follow up, call the tier 2, write to a senator but still nothing. It is already our first wedding anniversary on January 12, 2014 and were still apart from each other. This is so depressing. =(

I can't really understand this. Hey guys do you have sentiments like mine? Feel free to post here.

You have failed to grasp just how serious this backlog is. It is nearly a half million petitions. USCIS really let this get out of hand. Do you still think this qualifies as a "little backlogged"?

Do not be intolerant they have to give you an answer you paid for this service the only problem is they do not follow any time frame

and perhaps one behind you suddenly is in front of you .. It all depend of the volume of work and other things that we do not know

but hanging there and to the all cost try to keep the flame on between you and you fiancé even if you already marry her , you selected

the longer path . Marry to bring her to USA is pretty longer that Marry in USA.rofl.gif

However the path selected to bring her to USA she will come sonner that later, at the end Immigration have to process your already paid case

Perhaps a trip to visit your wife will be a nice surprise meanwhile immigration" work "

I don't have thousands of dollars sitting around to waste on the chance that they're not going to let him in because of the pending Visa petition. And my kids are not going to understand that YAY, Daddy's back after over a year of being away, but oh, wait, he can't stay.
