since NBC seems as they are approving i-130 petitions from different months, only question for now is when is my petition getting approved? that's the question everyone is doing..
the only thing now for me is being patient
and waiting for them to approve it soon.i have learned patient is a very difficult thing to do, but not impossible

no Steve, Everyone is just making their own best guess.... They post those processing times to make it easier on them. They can still say they are within the estimated processing times. So they don't have to act on anything because it isn't past those posted times. IMO, it can be viewed 100 different ways. How ever you view it, the fact is, we all have to sit tight .
Nothing will change the way they processing anything. No letter, no blog, not even a phone call. Even the expedites are taking a while.
Our lives are in their hands.. Sad Sad Sad
yes, it is true.. those processing estimates are telling us an old picture of a situation which has occurred long time ago.
those aren't real time estimates, or LIVE estimates.
in order for them to say that we are not past the posted processing times, they have to tell us day to day estimates. if i call today they have to tell me what they are processing today? not what they were processing yesterday, because they always be right.
we will only be past processing time when there is only a handful of petitions
anyway they have a difficult job so lets be positive and hope for our best,

ok, they updated again, now NBC is the one processing i-130 for a spouse of usc.
-
i will dare to do a calculation like this:
as per August 31, 2013, uscis is processing October 1, 2012. That means if you start counting it's 11 months from Oct 1, 2012 till August 31, 2013.
Now if we assume that today they are processing say March then from Oct 1 till March 1, it's like 5 months.
So, the next update will be effective as of September 30, in a month and the processing time may go: 11 - 5 = 6 months.
But today it's Oct 16, so it's like 2 more weeks from the next update of Sept 30, which means that on Sept 30 they will be processing February 2013. Not exactly March 1.
And October and November are our months, otherwise we may end up on this situation where we will have 8 months of waiting but the processing time they will show will be April, May or June: This situation: IMPORTANT: If your receipt notice date is earlier then the processing date shown, we suggest you call our USCIS Customer Service Office at 1-800-375-5283 for assistance.

Check this out.
NBC is processing Oct.1, 2012 effective as per August 31, 2013
-
Did they update the national average from 16 months on the website recently?
Yes, they did update it although not completely.. it still is effective as of July 31.
So, maybe they are just going to keep that date unchanged from now on.
Now the processing it's at 11 months, imagine if that thing goes down to 6 months, what does that mean?
they will be flooded by thousands of phone calls
-
Where did you get this info from? Link please!
here it is,
but it still says effective as per July 31, which is the same as last time. So it makes me think they will update it again, maybe
-
OK the national average processing time now stands to 11 months, this makes me think it may go to 9 months once other data are included (if they are included), because there is a lot of errors with their estimates... like the Vermont center is never updated on processing of i-130 for spouse of USC,
as well as other service centers throughout the nation which i believe are not processing anymore i-130 for spouse of USC, same like Vermont one which has stopped on Oct. 22, 2012, and their processing is 0.
in short there is a lot of service centers with 0 processing that are included in the estimates.
they only increase or keep the processing time artificially high.
for what reason? i don't know
-
i just saw a March 14 approval on VJ
it's an expedite, i think a bit late to be an expedite..

i just saw a March 14 approval on VJ

Any approvals today? or USCIS is still enjoying Columbus day??
i think they are working, not just drinking coffee
i couldn't find an i-130 yet, but see the attachments bellow
-
I agree.
Also, ordinary people have no idea that there is some sort of process to bring a spouse to the U.S.
They think Green Cards are granted just by showing a marriage certificate. Or something.
100% true
-
lol number before mine was approved like 3 months ago, so I guess you can't really go by that logic.
ok, but my number is MSC139075485X, only last digit is different,
and from MSC1390754500, MSC1390754501, MSC1390754502 , MSC1390754503, and counting up, all are March 11 filers, most on initial review..
i know it doesn't mean anything that's why i am like
-
this MSC1390754850 it is so close to mine and approved exactly 2 weeks ago.
Post Decision Activity
On September 30, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
i believe it is a March 11 filer, because there is a lot of March 11 filers before this number who are on initial review, and after this number including myself but my case doesn't show up online. Does this mean I will get approved soon?
Maybe

3. Immigration and Naturalizaton Act, 201 (b) - and many other places. Standing law generally refers to all law, cases, statutory legislation as well as regulations and in many places, the law acknowledges the precedence of family unification in all immigration matters.
we, with i-130 petition for a spouse, do have the precedence according to the law, and don't have to wait for a visa number, but we do not have the precedence among ourselves. With so many I-130 petitions being processed, difficult to know who has the precedence..
-
Er.. What? Where do you even get this idea from?
then what's your idea? they aren't processing and are just drinking coffee all day?

Our first project is to announce to the Director of the Overland Park facility that we exist, to state the facts and our objections, and to notify as many influential persons and organizations that we can.
The following link takes you to the letter to the director, and explains the strategy and what you can do to help.
i read the following link, and i must say it's a good work
but imagine if you were the Director of the Overland Park facility, what would you do?
i think this request would be taken into consideration, but still it's just a letter, work will proceed as normal.
as a Director: Would you approve all the pending petitions at the stroke of a pen skipping procedures?
they will say we can wait, no need of expediting the process since we are not in a life threatening situation
that's just my opinion, others can disagree

Mar.12.13 filer and i received NOA2 on Oct.11.13. what a wait, it was torture... They are doing early march now.
congratulations
how do you know they are processing March now?
I think they are processing everyone according to their PD, everyone is in different stages. But many cases of March filers are in the last stages than others and chances are them getting approved soon. As well as April filers too may get approved before some March or February filers too... and the rest maybe a bit later.
There is a lot of February filers too, the easy ones have been approved, but some cases are taking longer because their PD is later or their situations are bit difficult to process, I believe. Everyone starts from the first stage (PD), and then continues, but how long you stay in a stage of the process it depends on many things.

My question is: Is there any way for my wife (the benificiary) to go up to the States even if it is just to have my baby, shouldn't I have the right to have my child born in the country I am from? Hopefully there is something I can do, I really hope so.
Thanks for any input or advice anyone can give me
No. You can't choose the country.
It is your child, but it's also your wife's child, see it that way.

One approval to-day, 12-10-2013 from 16th. April filer ( few hours back )
since everyday there is more and more approvals, we just need to wait and everyone will get approved soon.
no need for the so called lawyers
when we are so close at being approved, being impatient can be a bad thing
-
I thought of that .
.... There is so muchfalse info flying around VJ.... 
hmmmmm... but the timeline is filled in for an I-130
I wonder which one it was...
I also thought that there are a lot of lawyers around VJ too spreading false info.
it's an approval of an i-130 i think, i don't understand why there is the K3 on his timeline too.
-
a March approval few hours ago, soon we all get approved, even april filers too
-
I think your reasoning for K3 saying "what if you go to the US with a K3 non-immigrant petition and then your immigrant petition i-130 is not approved?"
It's like saying: if you go to US with approved K1 and i130 is denied then what?
Or
If you go to US four visit ,fall in love get married and i130 denied them what?
Or
If you go to us on work via H1 marry and i130 denied then what.
Or
If you are an undocumented illegal alien residing in us file i130 and it is not approved then what?
Well then what? Then Just chill out.
you are comparing apples with pears, nothing stands from what you said
Confused about my wife's I-130 status

it is very complicated to understand the process how uscis works.
maybe you can find a reason for this at your i-129f and i-130 sent to uscis.
because if your i-129f was approved, then sent to NVC and then what happened to your i-130??? did it get approved???
