I-129F MAY FILERS PART 2

Ok just got a call back from a very nice tier 2 officer (last name Lopez), he gave me more information than most of the tier 2 officers I've spoken with and was very sympathetic to our situation. I'll summarize as completely as possible: 

 

- Not to worry, no cases around our time were sent to a "california visa center" (don't think there is such a thing, he said he thought the person here who quoted that may have been referring to the California service center by mistake

- For my case at least (and most likely all others around my approval time NOA2 Nov 2), the I-129F is still sitting at CSC- it has not been mailed yet

- He said in the system he can see that it has cleared all steps at CSC, and is only waiting to be mailed

- He said while this wait time of 6+ weeks is unusually long, we are all in the same boat, and it is the average time for the time being

- He said he believes that the petitions should arrive at NVC before the holidays

- He also issued a request to CSC to actually send the petitions to NVC

- He said to not worry about petitions expiring, because CSC will issue another approval with a later date if a petition is close to expiring due to slowdowns/backlogs on their end. He said he doesn't anticipate this happening though, and that all of ours should arrive at NVC before this happens.

Hope this is helpful to anyone else in the same boat. I'm going to cool it on calling NVC every day probably until next week. Since all of our petitions are just sitting at CSC, it's not of any use to keep bugging NVC and keep getting the same answer. I"ll probably try again on Monday just to see if it arrived, but am still not going to get my hopes up. 

That is great news!  I thought something wasn't right too cz i never heard of  "California visa center " either and can't find anything on it online.  Anyway we just got to be patient.  As for us we decided to go to the uscis center in  Miami and talk to someone.  

May God gives us all  patience and strength to go through this whole thing!  Ameen

I just got off the phone with USCIS according to the representative she said she could see our case in the system and it looked like for some reason they still have not sent it to NVC. She said it could take up to 90 days to send to NVC.

 

NOA1 4/28

NOA2 10/31

Ain't that weird enough for them.. like nobody realizes the noa2 expires after 90 days... this is just causing them extra job to reapprove everyone..

My lady is doing her medical at SLEC and they asked for letter from nvc which shows each and case number thank God I brought it all with me when I come over

I don't even know anymore...It's almost like...like...like they enjoy creating extra work for themselves 

There is no logic in this process...none. At all. None.

Thanks so much!!!

 

How are you doing by the way??? 

Hey  Thank you for asking

 

I am hanging in there with you it's getting very tough waiting this long, I was expecting we would be together before end of the year but from the looks of things I don't expect to even get approval by end of December.  At this point probably looking at March interview.

 

I've kinda have become a lurker mostly other than posting scans lol

I totally understand how you feel. Just know that I'm here if you need to talk, vent or cry (If you're a cry baby like me). We're in this together. Truthfully, I asked you do scans because I want you to be active and know that I'm here checking up on you. I may be having my emotional breakdowns every day but I'm here for everybody.
