Hello,

My case is 213 days and counting, also is on Kansas processing center,  I filled online back in May 2021, it says processing times are  9.5 months to 15.5 months, any better luck than mine on this processing Center?

Hello my Case was sent to NVC on Oct 23! So hoping by mid/end November we

know something but will be calling in about 3 weeks!

congrats...don't sit there and wait for NVC to call you, you need to call them and get your case number.

Yes today I got the email saying the case was sen to NVC to wait 6 weeks tops, will not wait that long for sure!

So my Husband was in CR so of course till yesterday he had time to review the Mail and yes we are Approved, it was on Set 29/2017 so says takes about a month to hear from NVC so is about a month so we should hear something soon! 262 days waiting now finally just to wait for the rest, hoping it moves faster this time!

Congrats and welcome to NVC! 

 

Kindly check my reply to your posting in the Nebraska filers forum regarding your NOA2 date update for your timeline. Cheers!

 

Quick question since we are in the same service center mine should also be approved soon congrats to yall, If the case is approved now how much more you think you have to wait for embassy interview? thinking on going to US to spend the holidays in US so thinking, what do you think?

So I got some good needs today! When they got my case they spell my name incorrectly so my husband called and they said until someone takes the case the name will be updated, so today finally got the email saying I have the name corrected and my case now says is 
¨Your Case Status: Initial Review ¨ I am really really Happy This Morning! Thank God! Got the NOA1 on Jan 10/2017

Happy for you. What number did you call. They have my date of birth wrong. Do you think we should report it now or wait.

Thank you! I think you should report it, call to the Toll free number, they might say the same... will be fix until is assign to an agent, but is important to do it 100%

I'm sorry Sundee, I can't imagine how hard it must be to have the love of your life in Ghana. Not only the distance but how difficult the consulate is, the waiting and the stress  I really hope you get that approval soon <3! 

 KEEP THE FAITH UP! THIS HAPPENDED TO US TODAY!!

I don't know, honestly we can expect anything at this point. I am so exhausted 

Me too, tired, sad, Exhausted  and am sure they will increase the fees more which sucks

I won't  see mine for another six weeks. (3 months apart) But then we will see each other for a week and then hopefully a month in December/January. 

He called and they said we are "on normal processing times" I guess 8-10 months is the new normal for us... 

Yes me too about the Holidays am hoping by that time we are approved and ready, I mean hoping to move by January or so no longer than that, what do you think_ possible?

It's a slap in the face that the process is more expensive while being considerably less effective now. In any other situation we would be going with a different "company" since this one sucks but alas, they know they're our only option (to legally get the US I mean, since living in our countries of origin or a different one is another option)

 

 223 days and counting. 

 

243 days still can´t believe we are in the first step! hubby coming to see me next week for almost a month! hoping we get approved next month and celebrate together!

OMG!!! I Just turned over to try and catch a few more winks before my alarm went off for work. Then I was awaken by the sound of a text message, then another, and another and more. I thought about another member saying he got a lots of texts when he was approved so I jumped up and grabbed my phone over on the nightstand. I said a prayer before I checked...APPROVED!!!! 

 

It was approved yesterday after 255 days. Boy has this been one helluva wait. Feels like ten thousand pounds have been lifted off my back. The hardest part is over. Hang in there guys it will happen. Sending positive approval vibes to all. 

Congratulations!! Best of luck in this new phase!

I use Houston IAH and have never had a problem i always say purpose is to visit husband. Have never been sent to secondary either. I have been asked why we don't get married before we got married. I have made 3 trips since submitting petition in January and I've planned another for our anniversay. Honesty is the best policy. I am thankful that my husband can travel to see me often.

Yes I guess it depends on luck, inmigration officers are hard to deal, you just dont know when they will pick on you! But again be honest is the best idea, and for me avoid houston

I must be very lucky then. This is my 3rd visitor visa. Had a 5 year then a 10 year and now another 10 year. Have been travelling since i was kid and have never met a mean officer. Went to secondary once and that was because of my mom she had food items and we were travelling together so i had to go too i was not happy but all i did was xray my luggage and we were out.

 

You will be fine. And since you are more comfortable avaoiding Houston then just avoid it.

Yes me too, only that time in December but was right there at the counter nothing on secondary, and never had an issue before, I used to travel every 2 months due to work, I was lucky my first year of marriage he was living here in CR, He move back in sept last year, and we been back and fort since then, is hard but you get used to it, and with Nebraska you better!

I feel like everyone else who got different service centers won the i130 sweepstakes.

 

If this were a competition this is how it plays out:

#1 - Vermont - March 14, 2017 - how is it that they can be 3 months ahead and not have any of our files transferred?

 

#2 - Potomac - Not sure of accurate time as Visa Journey has it listed as Oct 24, 2016 but the USCIS page has them processing at Jan 1, 2017 as of May 31. They are likely into March - again why isn't Potomac getting transfers if they are ahead by 3 months?

 

#3 - Texas - Feb 11, 2017 - Nearly 2 months ahead of Nebraska - again why isn't Texas getting transfers?

 

#4 - California - Jan 27, 2017 - What the heck happened to all their i130's??? If you take a look at the USCIS processing times page they no longer list i130!! Does this mean USCIS (aka useless) decided to cut out 1 service center out of i130 processing? Do they plan on replacing this service center with another or hiring more people for the backlog?

 

#5 - Nebraska - Dec 13, 2016 - There are still Nov filers getting processed and every month we are lucky if 15 days of files are going through. USCIS claims i130 petitions are supposed to be processed within 9 months max. At this rate we are all going to be lucky if we get our applications processed by the end of 2017.

 

There is an obvious solution to the problem but yet nobody in USCIS (useless) wants to deal with it.

I was really upset when I saw  June pass by and no info from USCIS, now am on 208 days, and this site timeline gives me some hopes also seeing procesing times being updated, not enough Nebraska of course, and well I wonder the same about California, no I 130 there.

I'd be really careful in your situation because it sounds like they know you've filed a i130. Once your pulled into secondary and asked about an immigration petition there will be a lot of notes on your file. 

 

I'm on the special screening list (SSSS) as I was processed back in Jan for a section 212 7a (intent to immigrate). I was told once your flagged you are asked to go to secondary every time you enter the US (lucky me). It doesn't sound like this has happened to you which is extremely fortunate.

 

I'm sure your aware to bring all ties and any proof to convince the officer you will return. I didn't hold my breath they'd even let me through knowing my file was flagged. But they did after a very lengthy and intense interview. I had copies of Facebook messages talking about getting together with people when I returned, medical and dental appointments, everything I could think of to show I'd come back. From my experience I found the more upfront and honest I was, the more the officer was willing to help. I brought a copy of all my correspondence with our lawyer along with a complete copy of our i130. I watch the show Border Security religiously (for both Canada and the US) and the minute they catch you in a lie, they assume you are lying about everything. You obviously want the person to root for you but it's tough if it looks like your trying to hide something.

Actually I notice in Houston Hobby airport, is kind of different when you go through inmigration, first you scan your passport, there you do your fingerprints and everything alone, then you give this form to a officer that does not have a computer or anything just regular stamp tools, that is were the mean latina was(which again am latina too) she even question why if we been married for almost two year I haven't work on my green card, so here it

comes the my husband moved to Costa Rica and wanted to tried for a while but he is back in Us, this last time it was so late They didn't ask anything you have to say as a turist cuz that is the kind of visa I have took 2 seconds all clear, I had all to prove I was coming back, they didn't ask for it. Next time I travel will be again via MSY and for sure will say the true, thanks to the advice to everyone!

Don't say your best friend because y'all already filed for I-130 so they already know you did so it best to say your husband. Like Dian said she applied for visa and they know she filed CR1 because they can see it.

 

I know they ask her questions to see what she will say, am I right Dian?

 

 

i did the same thing I applied for the same thing and they said I have to wait for my CR1 to be completed. So I only can wait also my husband can visit.

 

 

now there 2 people trying to warn you, if they ask tell the truth because they will see you lying.  Yes that your best friend but they will questions you and ask so

many questions just to test you and see f you will say the word husband or married.

Yes and quite sure both are right, on december I said husband and I was soo question, disrespect etc, it sucked, what it hurt the most was it was a fellow latina girl, she was really mean, but hey i have my Job here, I have the return ticket, so she cant keep me, last time in june they barely ask anything, I have my certificate from work, my return ticket(they didnt ask for either), and Again it was in MSY they  are nice, respectful,  Houston/Hobby is hell.  If I visit at the end of the year, yes I will have to say the true like in december, but for sure will enter MSY

My PD is February 8th and with current processing times, I'd be lucky to be back in the U.S with my husband in April or May next year... 

 

Well my husband is coming to CR at the end of next month it depends on the process if I go visit and stay for a couple of months for the holidays, what really sucks is got be really careful to which airport I enter, I tried to only use MSY which is New Orleans, they are nice and dont ask much, I also do not mention my husband at all, I have my best friend there so if they ask am on a visit, a concert, etc I just avoid red flags from their side, and avoid Houston/Hobby in every possible way

I been checking the processing times on the https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processingTimesDisplay.do page and looks strange, dates are set back to 2016 on most service centers, except for Potomac and vermont still shows 2017, and Nebraska move to Nov 26!

We are 207 already... my timeline says Aug hoping is earlier than that, wanna spend the holidays in US with my Hubby, is hard, Nebraska is like a big nightmare, now says> at least is not nov 15 anymore is getting closer to Dec!
