Thank you so much;) it was so stressful for just waiting you know. I hope everybody will be approved soon!

I cannot wait to see my husband soon!

Congratulations Chumi and Fatblackcat!!!

Thank you! My online status has changed too!

But it is weird they say on April 15 they approved my I 130 but it is april17 there and my online status never changed when I checked it few hours beforfe!

waiting4i130 took care of that for you.

I hope you get the approval email next week since you're one of the earliest Oct filers. Fingers crossed!

BTW, you may want to fill out your timeline when you have a chance. Have a great visit in the US!

Thank you for both of them!

And hey I am approved today!

My husband received email!

On April 15, 2014, 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.

Congrats to XXoverwhelmedXX (TSC) and pmosqueda (NSC)! Way to go!

CSC: 75%

VSC: 47%

NSC: 53%

TSC: 39%

Total: 52%

Thank you for correcting my PD on the sheet!

I realized that my PD was actually Oct 3rd when I saw my NOA1 letter.

But nothing has happened yet. I am leaving for LA tmr for visiting ny husband. I do hope I will be approved while I am there.

But I feel like it will never happens. ....

Approved!

My son and I had a high five

I got the letter in the mail today, BUT the online status was never updated. The letter says that my husband was approved April 11th. Gee- COULD they have updated it and saved me the stress of the past 5 days? Also, the 129F (K3) as approved as well. Got both the letters at the same time. I'll just go with the I-130 route I guess.

People at the VSC, that's good news. It looks like they are moving on the approvals...and maybe some other people were approved at the VSC and don't even know it.

NOA 1: 10/1

NOA 2: 4/11

Your online status has not changed, but how about USCIS account? I mean maybe we can check our last update data on "my portfolio " page after log in. Has it not changed yet as well?

Approved!

Congratulations!

I am so happy for u!

But that is so weird she did not tell you about your approval when you talked to her.

Im shocked. They should work more seriously!

So I called USCIS today and I did file a service request. I talked to the first person on the phone (tier 1) and the representative did it for me. She just asked me the normal info/ questions and confirmed that I was in fact out of processing time (my priority date is 10/1). There was no mention of waiting 60 days after the transfer or anything. She did it and gave me a reference number

I have no idea if the service request will make any difference, but hey, I tried. Can't hurt. Seems it did work for some people in the September group.

Heyyy, thank you so much for sharing:)!

Service request sounds great. I hope your case will be approved soon.

I told my husband about your story n he said he will try it too. Our PD is Oct7.

I have not heard from USCIS yet today. Please USCIS! Go go go!

I just got the approval email (NOA2) from NSC after waiting for 6 months 1 week and 3 days!

It took longer than I had expected, but it's better than never!

I hope this week is going to be a great week for us! Come on NSC, TSC, and VSC! Drink lots of coffee and work harder!

Congratulations! Finally!

I heard nothing from them today, and I do hate USCIS!

So strange because anyone who can count can see we are over the average. So annoying! I may call anyway since I'm on vacation this week- just to see what they say.

I knowww. I was shocked when I heard about this.

Plz share what they will tell you after you call them.

And have a wonderful vacation!

I am going to visit my husband in LA from this weekend:)

I hope so too! I know we have a small sample size here, but it really has seemed slow lately. Hoping for this week to better! Debating whether I should call for a service request since I'm now 6 months 2 weeks since NOA1 (obviously over the stated times)....but not sure if it's worth it because I still have 23 days to wait out of the 60 from the transfer.

When my husband talked to USCIS, they said we have not waited over the average yet:'(

My husband called USCIS today from LA n he told them around our numbers people get NOA2 n even late of Oct filers are approved. But tgey told him it's just taking time.

I wanna cry. They are so unfair!

Also, my husband insisted that the avarage 5months(NSC) has passed, but they said it doesnt.

It was so quick they got $420 from us but after getting money their working speed has been so slow.

I wanna cry. They are so unfair!

My husband will try to call to NSC for checking the case, but he left the letter at home n he doesnt know their telephone number. Is there anybody who knows which number he should call to? Could you tell me? Thank you!

I hope USCIS, which is such an unfair office, will approve our I-130 this week. Plz plz plz..hopefully on Apr 10th!

Was that just from the G-1145? They'll only tell you they received your application with that. You need to make an account on the USCIS site and tie your case number up with it to get any further updates. If you've done all that, then I don't know why it's not working for you :S

Of course I made an account on USCIS website. Hmmmm well, I just can say that I really dont trust USCIS lol.

If you sign up for the text/email notifications on the website then you don't have to keep refreshing the status. Literally as soon as it's updated, they ping a text/email to you.

I dont know why but I have never received emails before. I have signed up for the notifications but nothing had come when they transferred my case to the local office..

Same here, Still waiting... Please NSC...

I cannot stop checking the status:'( it's already 12:24am on 10th here n I do need sleep. This visa process is so annoying n also unhealthy!

I do hope many of us will be approved today. I checked my status but nothing has happened. I dont know why USCIS treats people so unfair n makes us sad.

Im so tired of seeing initial review only for 6months! Plz give us NOA2!

We got our approval today but it says April 7th on it. So I guess that is our approval date. Yay!

Congratulations! Im happy for you:)!

Mine doesn't change yet. I feel our case will never been approved..

Hopefully tmr:'(!!

I am going on calendar days, as it doesn't state business days specifically. Am currently at 30 days after the transfer. I so hope I hear this week. I can't imagine waiting beyond the 60 days. That would be awful.

I hope we will receive NOA2 notice this week too. But I didnt get anything this morning yet. They change the status on USCIS website in the morning right? So sad.

LOL. Indeed

Hope that the remaining approvals come soon!!

I know it's hard to explain other people wt why we are not in the US yet ...

Last week an acquaintance told me ( through Facebook) that she went to the US with her EU passport and then adjusted status, and everything took less than 3 months (from filing i-130 to getting a green card). A part of me was glad that she is with her husband and happy, but it upsets me that what she did was 'wrong' and the process was super easy for her...

During the interview she said that she went to visit her boyfriend an he proposed there and they decided to marry 'in a rush'....

I have heard similar cases before. She is lucky that she could get a green card in such a short time, but what she said to the interviewer was lies. We, who have been honest, have waited for getting a greencard for such a long time. Sometimes I feel life is not fair. But I believe that after this crazy visa process, we will be more happier than people who skipped the correct and honest process. We are strong:)

I hope next week will be our week! Come on NOA2!

Anyway, no NOA2 today?
