I-130 February 2020 Filers

[ghostkate 1]

Congratulation to all guys who got approved.

We finally know the reason why we got nothing from the USCIS.

USCIS said as my husband DOB is not same as their record, they put a processing error on our file. 

My husband had sent many time to correct the DOB before, but they have not update yet. 

So now they confirm the record had been updated and match with our application doc. they put an expedite tag on our file. 

Not knowing why my husband call and ask so many time, but they keep told him the letter already sent 

Hope we do not need to wait another half year again

Did they notify you of the processing error

[Jammin19 17]

So,  I was speaking with an attorney just wondering why some cases get approved months before some even if filed about the same time, even at the same processing center and even seeing cases get approved at processing center with even a longer processing time get approved before the shorter ones and the attorney said to me that she believes the state you are filing from makes a difference right now. She says that More democratic states are waiting longer than more republican states right now. 
Do u guys think thats the case???

no..until my husband called them again and again on July, then they find out there is an error tag in our file. 

And then they raise the case the to senior level to explains to him .

my husband called them in Apr, May, June, the staff keep telling him everything is fine they already mail the NOA1 to him and confirm the address again and again.

We don't know we were worrying if our application filled the wrong information so that they rejected us. 

 

But actually my husband had been updated his DOB to the SSN office years ago, 

but they still not yet update the system until this year our application is pending. 

It was so depressing that waiting long time for nothing

If you file online, which state did you file from?

Filed online from NY. Not sure if there’s any truth to what the Attorney said. Was just trying to understand why some cases get process and approved so quickly and some takes so long.

Sounds like wild speculation. 

 

Our case was approved in 90 days.  One of the Bluest states - MA.   And it was a paper petition, mailed via USPS.

What I meant was, if you file online, you could be anywhere in the world (my USC husband and I live outside the US currently). Therefore, I don't think there's much truth to what the lawyer said. It looks really random  how they decide on cases right now, but who knows. Good luck to us who are waiting! 🙂

Nope not true at all. First of all, cases are randomly distributed to the service centers, you could live in Texas and your case still get sent to Nebraska. Second of all, political affiliation, whether personal or state majority, has nothing to do with the visa process, nor is it ever even considered at all by USCIS. What she is saying is baseless nonsensical b.s., many lawyers prove time and time again that they don't actually know squat about this process
