MMEE

OMG while I was texting my attorney and she was telling me "I'm sorry maybe it's for real they are working in February cases" she texted me again and told me "you can't believe it I have the uscis letter with your approval here" I don't know when I was approved , the system is not updated yet, stills appears as received but guys finally , IM APPROVED! PD June 22, TSC, sent an inquiry in January 2nd. 

Thank U 4 sharing your experience with us, now that we know that they are not sending the files to the NVC fast, I think we have a month or a month and a half for preparing the documents por the NVC step, I was approved January 10, I hope to hear something from the NVC in middle-ending February, but I already have my passport pictures, the pictures for the medicals , and the appointement this week for the police certificate, I think it's a way to save time later.  

PD June 7th, 2017 Texas Service Center - US Citizen spouse still no RFE and no case update or approval.
 
Called spoke to a tier 2 officer and was told roughly about 105 more days.
 
My wife left me in August 2017 (not an official legal divorce or separation so it is still processing) the distance was too much for her I am still here on this site so that when I do get the approval I can update our timeline to help people. 

Good news! 
 
Our approval finally showed up in the mail..!!

If this information helps you... my PD was June 22, I tried to send an inquiry and I received the response "inquiry may not be created this time" bla bla bla ... I called until I was able to talk with a helpful tier  2 And I told him, I 130 cases around my case have been approved,the case before and after mine have been updated since December 13 , (so they should have been approved since November 13 at least) so of course I think my petition is not in normal processing time so I asked him if he was able to send an inquiry for me, and he told me he was  able to unblock the system to allow me to send to inquiry because he saw all of the cases around mine were already approved , so he told me: try to do the service request now, and that time I could send the inquiry with no problem, so I think if you PD is after February 22, you only can make the inquiry if you call first because of the system, or if you filled the immigration congressional inquiry form of your congressman or representstives , they are allow to send an inquiry no matter the PD you have.  
I sent the inquiry on January 2nd I got A response on January 6th that said my case was under additional review, that I should hear a decision in 60 days, but I called to ask what kind of addiontal review,  when I called tier 2 they told me my case was under review since November  2017, and we were approved  in January 10th but we got the letter yesterday, and the system is not updated yet. My advice is if you want to inquiry, look for help of your representatives in the webpages you can find the steps and the form for making the immigration inquiry .

Good day everyone,
 
... 285 days at USCIS
.... 86 days since USCIS receive my RFE response.
 
Still no response from USCIS.
 
My PD: 4/7/2017 

I don't know what's wrong with them, every time I called n speak with Tier 2 they tell me something different, on Monday they told me my case was still pending, on tuesday they told me my file is waiting for security checks, yesterday they told me they are working in February filers and I will have to wait 4 months more, And in January 6th I received a letter from uscis with this response to my inquiry "we have had to perform additional review and this has caused a delay in processing time. Your case is currently with an adjudication officer. You should receive a decision or notice of further action within 60 days" . So honestly IDK what's true 🌝. 

Same. PD June 1st 229days and thinking that after that it´s gonna take at least another 4months or so is starting to make me feel like we will never get to live together. We are already joking, that maybe it will be our Christmas present 2018 

PD June 22
No approval no RFE
I have seen so many June approvals with priority date near mine 😭 But 208 days and still waiting, looks like submitting the inquire it wasn't worth it 😞 

I130 Approved Today in the mail . So happy all that waiting is over now.  i am just wondering how long would it take for the nvc process.Does anyone know the next steps in detail.
TSC
PD: June 26 2017
 

Hello Trina, you know my spouse and I are in a similar situation as you, so let me tell you the process it's not wrong, because I'm living the same with the I-130 petition, we also submitted an inquiry in January 2nd, we got a response in January 6th. The email and letter we got said this "we have had to perform additional review and this has caused a delay in processing time. Your case is currently with an adjudication officer, you should receive a decision or notice within 60 days" . So we called again and talked with tier 2, and asked him to explain what kind of review they are doing, and he told us, he doesn't know the number of the officer has our case, and told us, are many background checks, and our case is under FBI and immigration background check because of the previous Tourist visa cancelled because of the "intended immigrant" thing, don't  have a criminal record at all, but yes I had the issue with immigration and we were told we have to wait 2 months and a half,  or three,  because that officer has to return our file to the adjudication officer who's going to approved when the FBI and immigration background check finally ends, so if you would have submitted the I-130 u would be married right know but the story it would be the same girl 😞. The only thing we could do Right know it's sending a immigration congressional inquiry, we have it ready but we are going to send it in February 1st and we are asking to the congresswoman to ask uscis if they could speed up a little bit that background check. But that's all , nothing but wait!   So I bet they are doing the same with your file but in 7 months it was the first time a tier 2 was helpful and kind with us, in pretty sure in your service center they are more rude, less helpful and they also have a overload with the files, and they sent you the standard response of the inquiry, but I'm sure your file is in background checks before mine, you'll see you'll have the approval before. Good luck Trina and I hope this information helps u. 

Just got off the phone with Tier 2 who informed me my case is still pending and that it makes no sense to submit another inquiry at this time and I should wait at least 5 weeks before calling and submitting another request. He said that the petition is reviewed by different officers who conduct the variety of background checks and he could tell me that my case has been touched but could not tell me where it currently stands in the review process. 
 
So at this point I have submitted an inquiry to the Ombudsman which takes 45 days for response which is basically 5 weeks. I'm really at my wits end and now have to share this disappointing news with my fiance when he gets home from work. 
 
I'm still left to sit here with no answers, still feeling uncertain and not knowing what's going on and what to do. 
 
Just want to say that I'm happy for everyone here that has further movement in their cases and a day closer to your love one. I'm gonna be mute for awhile because with everyone having so much excitement going on with the next steps of their cases, my case is stuck and now I'm starting to think this process was the wrong thing to do.
 
 

Case approved.
 
PD: 06/01/17
NOA2: 01/02/18 (215 days)
Center: Texas
No case status update online. Found out about it via letter in mail.
US Citizen
 
 
Approval notice states:
 
 
"The above petition has been approved.  As the petitioner requests, we have sent the petition to the US Dep.... NVC, 32 Rochester Ave, Portsmouth, NH.... The NVCprocesses approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action.  It also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete the visa processing.  The NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.
 
The NVC will contact the beneficiary of this petition with further information about immigrant visa processing steps.
 
You should allow a minimum of 30 days for the US Department of State processing before contacting the NVC...."
 
 
 
 
Question: Does this mean the petition is now sent to NVC? Or is this standard reply? I am afraid Texas takes a long time to send petition to NVC. Does anyone know ways to expedite this process?
 

Yes, if you don't get and approval when cases around u start being approved maybe you can ask for help with your congressman/congresswoman , look for info in the webpage... wish our cases get the approval soon and finish dealing with Texas service center!!!! Have a nice day! 

194 days of waiting , haven't heard anything from uscis 
Texas service center 
Priority date June 22
called today tier 1 said "I was in normal processing time" ...tier 2 said the only thing he could do, was  opening a service request for me , then I received and email that they are going to assigned my inquiry to someone and I should hear some news in January 24th 😭 

So I just got off the phone with a Tier 1 rep who I can say had to be the most helpful rep ever!! To make the long story short, after hearing my story about waiting almost 7 months and needing answers and crying on the phone, she listened, sympathized and put in 2 service tickets in for me. One of them she said will go directly to my case worker for them to give me an answer on what is happening to my case. She said that Tier 1 reps can actually do more than we know and can put in service tickets now while not waiting for the processing chart to update. She said that it's on that rep if they really want to help but because she hears the same story about the waiting every day all day she tries her best to help so that callers can get the answers they need. 
 
So hopefully the first service ticket I will hear something in 3 to 5 days and the second one she said while the standard verbiage is 30 days, I should hear from my case worker before next Friday the latest. 
 
Praying this works out in my favor!

My date April 18 and approve Nov 8. When I got yes me cried!!!!! Me at Nebraska.
 
Me hope and pray and pray. God must have plan.
 
Good luck to all.

My husband called at there but they said nothing!! They told him case are processed as processing time schedule. But the date 23 Aug 2016 is not moving even a day from last one year...
