Yeah, I think so too. Hahaha 'sweet spot'

All I know is that even though all the info

is not at all encouraging, I have that

thing deep inside that says, 'SOON!'

I have learned to trust my instinct!

as long as all the spaces are filled with patience then you are good

you can do it

notarization not needed

attesting it is an accurate translation is all that is necessary

usc needs proof of citizenship

us passport copy of the bio data page will suffice although I included the bc also

I don't belive for a second that this will be the case.

Of course, this is subject to change and I believe it will. I have a strong sense

that once Overland Pk. is fully functional, they will start getting these done

at such a fast pace!! They just might be working on these now. You never know,

with in the next week or 2 we just might start seeing rapid movement in this area.

May filers, I know it sucks and it is discouraging, but I believe soon and very soon

us May filers are gonna be in the 'spotlight!'

totally agree with you.. but it might be more like 4-6 weeks until we see a large amount of approvals.

may filers are probably in the sweet spot

if your fiancée has funds that are convertible to US$'s, his money can be used in support of your 134

not sure how to fill out the 134 for this.. other members had a situation like that and were told they have to present the beneficiary's assets at the interview

Well, weed is used for recreational purposes use in Colorado and Washington State legally now. I do not understand what weed has to do with visa. You should ask if there is more resons than that.

uhhmm because it a schedule 1 drug

do your research

it is not a legal drug on a federal level

your petition is filed with the feds, not the state

He is not applying to immigrate to Colorado.

+1

looks like it should be translated "metal fandangle" lol

me like

So it would be perfectly fine to not include affidavits?

yes

yes this is true

it is often discussed in the PI forum.. BUT .. a vj member just got approved with a cosponsor yesterday I think it was

I have called tier 2 rep twice and they both told me to wait till end of nov/ early dec. I don't know what to believe anymore. I am a march filer.

yes, processing times are averaging 9 months now per uscis

forms at the top

it is all at your fingertips

Why did it take them so long to get to your request? WTH ????

exactly.. same thing happened to me.. told me I had to wait four weeks

break out a big hammer is all I can say

Also they want it with black ink.

nvc wants black ink, uscis doesn't care

Just what I didn't want to hear...thanks for the reply though! Lets hope the German mailing system works a bit faster for me!

it has got to work better than Fiji

all forms must have an original signature

DOS?

state department visa inquiry phone number

I am wondering if it is possible to have my stepfather as a joint sponsor

yes

I know one thing. I am not going to wait 30 minutes to talk to some call center agent to state " we don't have that case number on file, wait 8 weeks".

Waste of 30 minutes this morning. I will e-mail them.

Unlike some, I am in no mad rush for them to receive it. I am still studying in America, and the longer this sprawls out, the longer I can stay here

Best of luck to you all. Try emailing, certainly less hassle than waiting 30 minutes for a 20 second call.

call dos.. short to no wait time

Thanks for responses. I think it is weird. Noa2 vaildity is 4 monts. If we wait for nvc more than two monts as some fillers it just doesnt have sense cause we know that appointment for interview also takes a month in some countries. Plus the time papers get to the embassy. It is really tense deadline!

the expiration means nothing

it is automatically extended by both nvc and the embassy

if it gets to the embassy and there is no contact with them for 4 months.. that might be a different conversation

the next step is to reread the guides!

you will wait up to 8 weeks to get your case number from nvc

start calling in 2-3 weeks, but expect the 8 week scripted response

yyyyyaaaaaaaaaay

the dc office approved one file !!!

congrats.. I have seen you lurking for a while.. long overdue

Too far away!

oooo okay I guess I will have to get my own fangla metalna

Hi stevie b

What about us poor April filers

Will our cases remain at NBC and not get transferred to the new facility in October?

I am not in charge of the system and am only making an educated guess based on what happened previously with load shifts earlier this year and late 2012.

I think the april filers are already at the new facility based on some of the movement that is taking place

i hope what you say is right.. this is really taking so long.

but what is the IO ?

can i schedule infopass to my local field office ? i tried to schedule one but all kind of infopass requested requires some paper works that i dont have!

what information are you trying to get at the local office?

case status? that is available with an IO at the call center

Thanks for the hope Stevie B.

2.) Processing times for I-130 (CR-1) Applications and Petitions, is 6-8 months at the NBC. But they are slowly starting to get through them quicker, and quicker.

3.) As of now, if your wife is outside the U.S., and if you submitted sometime in March, your application should be processed in this next month or so. For me it was May, and she said since my wife is not adjusting status, or in the U.S., it looks like around November, early December by her computer.

4.) When questioned about getting transferred to a field office... She said that she wasn't sure who relayed the information, it's not correct, but if your wife/husband is outside the U.S., it's staying right at the NBC, and getting processed there, but should go quicker once it's at that point.

Was given a processing time of around November - December... Then, it's off to the NVC stage if accepted, which seems like everything is in order anyways.

this is why we call uscis the misinformation line

this is a woman sitting in front of a computer who has NO idea where your file is in terms of how many people are in front of you.

her information on an approval timeline is nothing more than an opinion that she has NO knowledge of.

why you ask??? easy.. they make stupid opinionated mistakes all the time

per uscis in august of 2012.. stand alone 130's go to nbc and then routed to the local office. it was a freakin uscis news release! many members here know about this and know where their file is and the date it was transferred.

if you filed in may .. you are probably at division 8 and will see some quick movement soon.

if you want accurate answers from uscis, you have to call 5 times and get the same answer twice. and then you still have an element of doubt
