I-130 feb 2014 filers

[california_luv 56]

The timelines here on VJ show NSC is slowest and they're processing Feb 10th. I really take exception to that...my PD is 04 Feb. I am beginning to think someone is using a pile of petitions as a footrest and mine is in that pile...

A third of Dec 2013 filers are in that pile with you

Ohmygosh! I KNOW!! That helps me put things into perspective a bit. NSC has the biggest backlog of these older petitions (according to Igor's List) and that's just pathetic. You guys should have been the ones transferred to CSC and approved within days. I'm going to do some heavy duty praying and pushing of positive vibes for you guys. If anything the backlog of 2013 petitions should be cleared ASAP.

Pretty much resigned myself to spending the remainder of 2014 in Canada, shooting for the one year mark hopefully. California_luv, thanks for reminding me that I'm not so bad off. Believe me, every time I check Igor's List and have to scroll down through those unapproved 2013 petitions, it feels pretty crappy. Best of luck to you!

Same here, we "cancelled" all our plans and actually stopped making any. It makes the wait a little more bearable.

Thanks for the good vibes, wishing you all the best too

RFE turns out to be a huge list!

They need evidence of a bonifide marriage. Courtship, Wedding Invite, Witnesses, Photos, Travel Docs, proof of children born in marriage AND out, Languages spoken AND how/why ..... goes on and on.

I already sent statements from all my family members who attended our wedding, sent appropriate translated documents.

Dear God help us..... need to take a deep breath and start working on getting all of this together .... reminding myself to be patient and that all good things take time ....

Strange! You saying that doesn't even make me and lots of us including yourself feel any better even though I'm Feb. 10th pd. Don't you qualify for e-request?

[SofisPatience 23]

I'm making some prayers for all filers waiting for their approval. I really hope you guys don't get stuck with an RFE like me and a few others did.

******* sending positive vibes ********* no RFE ******* no RFE ******* approval only ********

Wow!! I wonder why they are doing that to you! Every RFE I've seen so far is asking for passport pictures missing, or unsigned lines or easy things, but this??? Why?? And how long did they give you to gather all this??

Thanks! At least the more I work here, the more I can save for my move. We all will get to the end of our journeys eventually.

I already put in for one, and I should hear something by August 27. Geez, I hope to have the approval by then...lol!

Wow Sofi! Well, just send them everything, as much as you can. Don't give them ANY reason to doubt your marriage is real! Good luck and hopefully they process the docs quickly for you

Six months have passed and I really want to file an e-request (it's better to contact uscis rather than doing nothing, right? ;-)

The problem is that it's asking for a U.S. mailing address, but my mailing address that was on the i130 application is outside of the U.S.

Anyone figured a way around this problem? Should I just find a number to call instead?

Alhumdulillah Just got approved... PD Feb 6...Just hit six month mark...May God bless everybody with approvals who are still waiting...

[thebaileyohana 1]

We got it we got it! Our NOA-1 was Feb 6, 2014 and just received the email that our I-130 was processed today August 6, 2014! Woohoo.

We're doing a bike trip to Sturgis right now and only able to check threads with wifi.

I'm surprised you were able to put in an e request.

We tried yesterday,again and the auto reply came back as unable to process as we are still inside processing range. So, we called. Spoke with Nancy. She said Texas was working on Nov. 18! So, we questioned the 5 month processing average that uscis website states for Texas. She said it had no bearing. She told us there was nothing we could do for another 1.8 months!!!!! Needless to say any shred of hope we had for hearing any news soon is gone.

What is happening in Texas....other than nothing??? Anyone else here from Texas? We're you able to put in an e request?

We're so disillusioned right now. This process is consuming us. We have little faith in the system.

We're very happy things are moving elsewhere (ie cases transferred from NSC to CSC) but don't understand the inequities or inconsistencies. There is something very fundamentality wrong here!

We're on vacation and really trying to be happy and hopeful but it's a true challenge.
