i miss u

Why does it take USCIS so long just to send RFE for I-130?

I thought the I-130 processing time is currently five months.

I am curious since my wife and I plan to submit our I-130 next year (knowing that it should take 5 months-give or take).

However, if it takes a year, then we may need to submit sooner.

the sooner the better it takes a long time

thank u thank u soo much

im sending Pictures with each others

plane tickets phone bills

birthday cards emails and chats

letters

pomes

letters from family and friends saying you are a real couple

•A letter explaining how when and where we met

anything else???

It depends on what kind of evidence you are required to provide.

Our was only a petitioner's passport size of photo.

And my husband sent it out by a registered mail not express post.

So, it took a few days to arrive then 1 week was for reviewing.

1 more week to approve our I130. It wasted us almost 1 month time.

Good luck!

thank u so much im sending the evidence monday pray for me!!!

CONGRATS im so happy for u!!

Sorry! But just do what you're requsted to do and you'll be approved...once uscis approves you it's usually a short period of time to process at nvc given that everything is in order... Take heart the journey is worth any pain!

its so nice to see people that u dont know try to help u thanks

do u know how long it going to take till i get approved

At least you know they are finally looking at your petition! Just follow the RFE instructions explicitly and make sure to put the colored RFE paper on the top of the pile you send (but make a copy of it for your records). This is because they get so much correspondence every day they want to know immediately when they open your envelope what its for so they can direct it properly. Prayin' for you!

thanks but after all this wait i was hoping to get the approval

thank you guys please pray for me

I applied the I130 form for my husband on October of 2011 It took me 1 year just to get a response!

I got a response today requesting more evidence on our marriage

i dont know what to DO

its just soo suffering & stressful !

• Thanks! everyone please pray for me to get the approval soon
  

That is quite a wait! Did you contact your congressman? Are you going through a lawyer?

it's been very hard i haven't seen my husband for year and 3 months

i dont have a lawyer and i did not contact my congressman when i ask for advice they tell me to wait i dont know what to do

Please fill in your timeline.

Are you saying you filed a year ago and there hasn't even been an interview yet? Which stage are you at? Any red flags?

my situation is

I am US citizen but originally from Yemen. I applied the I130 form for my husband on October of 2011

and I haven't got any responses this is the first responses i get from them i'm always calling them i'm waiting for my

approval it's taking a long time

When you arrived in the US, were you issued an A-number? You definitely should have been. They are just trying to trace your identity back to when you arrived I guess. The A-number helps them do that. Good luck!

thanks please pray for me it's been a year and i'm waiting to get a response

OK WHAT ARE YOU FILING FOR?

i 130 for my husband

The A number is your Alien registration number. It mentions the petitioner, is the petitioner an American born citizen? Usually a US born citizen will not have a number.

I AM IN US citizen BUT I WAS NOT BORN IN US

Congratulations

pray for me ! plz

Moved from Process & Procedures to Progress Reports.

sorry i did not know where to post it at

thanks

please use a telephone on Tuesday, when USCIS is open.

i will thank you so much plz pray for me

Do you at least have a receipt number starts with WAC since you are at the California Service Center? Have you looked online USCIS.GOV and see if anything has happened with your case.

And yes what Darnell says. Answer back so we can help if we can.

yea i did get in receipt number when i check online its the same thing since i started its not changing

were you a USCitizen prior to the I-130 being filed?

IF SO, somethings amiss.

Did you move and not tell USCIS?

If so, somethings' amiss.

Please to call INTO USCIS on Tuesday morning, and inquire for casefile status.

Ask specifically if there are returned mail pieces with your name on them,

of an ISO.

SEE ISO - http://www.dhs.gov/files/publications/gc_1305658440339.shtm

Then report back here for what's what.

IMO, do NOT file a service request JUST YET, as it will delay things.

yes i was a USCitizen I've been living here since I was a child did not move

plz tell me what to do ?

thanks for ur help

Are you keeping yourself updated? have called the customer service or anyone else for help?

If you done all of the above for help & you keep on getting the same "pending" answer like me

..all I can tell you is wait...

yes i'm always calling them and sending emails im getting the same pending

wow.....you need to contact USCIS (800-375-5283) as soon as possible and ask them to put in a service request for you.

I would also contact you congress-person, they are there to help you with immigration matters.

called more than once and the put in a service request but it's not helping me

u think i should congress-person?

thanks
