    I Called CSC Twice on Tuesday. Below are excerpts of my conversation:

    “How can I assist you?"

    “Yes, I filed seven months ago and I have not heard anything from USCIS. I am curious to know what is going on."

    "Give me your receipt number and I can look up"

    " EACxxxxxxxxxxxx"

    "Did you not get the letter sent on May 7?"

    My heart sank. I have been checking my mailbox religiously. My post office is known to deliver mails to other residents in the same building. Scenes of past such occurrences started flashing in my head. All I could say was, “what?”

    "Officer sent you letter in May"

    I came to my senses and asnwerd in negative that I had not received anything from any officer.

    She says, “Your case is pending. It was transferred from Virginia"

    “Excuse me!! I am not aware of any Service center in VA. Must be Vermont”

    “Vermont or Virginia, oh I don’t know, but your case is pending”

    "I know that, but would be nice to know if it is assigned to any officer"

    "We have 100s of officers and Millions of applications like yours"

    “Ma’m, I am talking about my case, not millions of cases. I like to know if my case has been assigned to an officer.”

    Applications get assigned to officers when the time comes”

    You mean my application is still in the shelves. On the filer

    Yes, your case is on the first floor. I am on the 7 floor and this building has many more floors above me.

    Thank you for that information but please tell me if my case is assigned to an officer

    Applications get assigned to different officers at different times and stages. Which officer are you talking about?

    I don’t know the officer myself. But I called on May 6th and a person at your officer told me it was assigned to an officer and is not on the shelves anymore. But, you are telling me my file is on the filer.

    Immigration officers pick up the files from their buckets when they have time.

    Ok, how about my child’s application. I filed both together

    Give me the receipt and I will look on the system

    Oh that file is bundled with the other one. Both of them are together. They were assigned to an officer 2 months ago.

    Really

    Yes, but I have not heard anything back for two months

    Well, they are doing background check

    What, background check on whom? Me? I am citizen, just acquired and went through all sort of background checks

    Every application goes through the check

    At this point I was getting amused by her responses. So I asked, “how do you do background check on 2 yrs old child.

    Every beneficiary must go through background check, even children.

    Children before the age of 16

    Yes.

    That convinced me she was giving me bs. So I promptly thanked her and hung up.

    I will post the second part " Why You all Give me 20 Different answers to my One Simple Questions?" Next

    thanks for reading.

    Suing USCIS with WOM for I-130 (19 mo delay)

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    @Ohmy thanks..long time...hope ur hubby is is with you, or will be soon :)

    Thanks to all for your prayers and kind words....

    The lawyer just cashed the check last week, and will be sending in the case this week. When I get a number, hopefully I can track it on PACER.

    @ Brian and Dona:

    DID you retract and then refile the I-130 petition? I had previosly talked with lawyer and asked him to do just that. He told me not to do it, as the USCIS would take just as much long to reprocess the duplicate application. Therefore, I chose to stick with the same application and sue them. I think you should have done the same. I feel like you should talk to other laywers and find your options, or you will just get sucked deep into USCIS limbo.

    The USCIS customer service along with the people at congressmen and all are nice, but they dont know jack sheet about the whole process. I told the USCIS rep and congressman people that they have been doing security check on me for more than a year. They said it was "normal". I felt they were just jacking me around. Its just disheartening that they dont hold the same standard when processing applications across the pool. Its such a blatent lie when they say they "expedite" out of processing date application. They have some retarded USCIS automated bot or employee that touches the application randomly so they san sit on it for god knows how long.

    It was also my own mistake, too. I should have filed the damn I-129 along with I-130, but chose not to. I filed I-129 this year in january, but I figure I have to sue them to make them actually "see" my application. Also, I knew they will try to screw me again on my wife's green card if she comes here on I-129. My life is like that, so I expect the worse and be ready.

    Like I said before, I wont be reimbursed for any atty fee or any monetary value, but I hope USCIS just approves my case. I know alot of people here like GOGO are contemplating on suing USCIS twice to get their spouse to the US. This is totally ridiculous. I have ended up spending $3500 on lawyer and case fee in order to bring my wife here, not to mention $1700 air ticket + expenses just to visit her in Pak this december; all thanks to USCIS. It costs me close to $100 every month to call my wife. I am already a grad student barely making my living on stipend. Worst of all, there is all kind of sheet about to hit the fan in Pakistan, an it worries me alot.

    No married person should ever have to wait that long to bring their spouse with them. I was 26 when married; she was 22. Its no way to be living apart from the love of your life, feeling like you are neither single nor married.

    hi brother!

    Remember we spoke on the phone. Yaar sorry, you have to go through this. I told you I also sued USCIS for my N-400. Now, you should keep in touch with your attorney and ask him to really push AUSA(Assistant US Attorney) who will be defending USCIS. Your lawyer should push AUSA to ask USCIS to expediate the background checks and adjudicate your I-130. Also, you will get alot help from PACERS. If you need any help, please PM me. Best of luck!!!! Later! Rehan.

    I totally understand your pain... and feeling I am going through the same kind of torture by the USCIS with my N400 application and now this #######...

    I-130 approval

    Salam sister and thank you for the reply. I wish your husband al the best on his interview. Inshallah, he will have a smooth sailing. I will be waiting for an update on his interview.

    Again, good luck.

    Salam alaikum and congrats

    I was very confused at this stage that you're in now

    You have to choose which to pursue

    I'm told the K3 is the quicker way but I have found it seems to be the more expensive way

    I don't care how expensive really as long as my husband makes it here sooner

    I chose the K3 only after I sent all the fees for the I-130 cuz then I found out by calling the NVC that the I-129 had been sent to the embassy already

    We are now waiting for the interview and reading the posts on here i'm getting scared that this will take over a year even though my baby has his interview on the 15th Alhamdulillah

    Oh well... inshallah he'll get here ONE day

    Salaams

    Hello Everyone,

    Alhamdulillah, I received a letter of approval in the mail on 06/01/09 for I129F. Wehn I called NVC in the evening, they confirmed that they received both applications from USCIS today (6/01). I am in need of some guidance here. I don't know what I should do at this stage to get things expedited.

    I have follwoing questions:

    1) Should I wait and do nothing while NVC processes the applications or there are forms/documents that I or my wife needs to get ready before I receive anything from NVC.

    2) I have seen some members talking about a shortcut at NVC for I130, where I can find it?

    3) Provided that applications have been approved, what should I do in terms of pursuing. Should I go for IR1/CR1 or for K3. Please remember the goal is to get my wife here as soon as possible :)

    4) I have been delaying my trip to Pakistan in the hope that I will be able to accompany my wife at the time of interview. I hear that it won't be possible. Is it true and will a Congressman or a Senator's assistance make a difference. I really want to be able to be with my wife at the interview, at least be inside the embassy. Any suggestions?

    Any help/guidance will be much appreciated. Specifically, I would like to hear from members from Pakistan who have been through similar situations.

    Thank you.

    I upgraded my case on dec 8 and nothing yet after 2 years of pain in my N400. My wife is now taking depression pills since this july its our 4th Aniversary.

    How long it took you guys for I130 approval?

    over 6 months now

    Hi Vjers, I have been a passive member of the forum but now i feel compelled to be active and ask for some advice as I filed the i130 for my husband on nov 18th 2008 and got the NOA 1 dated the 26th of Nov 2008 while the NOA 1 for the i129 was dated the 3rd of Dec 2008 but i have not got a response as yet and my call to the 1 800 number was received by an operative who requested me to call back in 30 days if i still did not get a response..

    Does anybody have any suggestions as to the next line of action?..will be much appreciated

    Contact your Senator...ASAP...

    Call USCIS and have secondary service request and record an offical complained. It was recommended to me I did it yesterday and waiting...

    what to do its more than 6 months to file I-130.

    Honestly I didn't get an I-130 approval until 250+ days after we sent it. Mailed it April 2008 didn't get our NOA2 until January 2009, and that's with no RFE's! I've heard they've sped up the process...but it's definitely a waiting game...

    Can I take them to court. This is what I did when my N400 was stuck for 2 years. I filed WOM and them I got the things start moving and finally approval.

    My previous enquiries regarding I130 case was that the "case required further review", what does that mean? This was in April 09.

    $400.00 for Visa Application?

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Hi! My husband & I have decided to go for this CR-1 Visa.

    I just paid for the AOS- $70.00 and am still working on the Affidavit of Support. My husband completed the DS-3032 and emailed it to the NVC, which we are still waiting to get a response from them.

    I just called NVC in regards to a few other questions and was told that we will eventually have to pay $400.00 for the Visa application...is this true?

    Thanks

    God, i cant start to imagine what they do with the $400 bucks...wow!! these people must be rich..lol...maybe i should open up a company, and propose it to be done in $100....hey i am creating jobs!

    cmnb

    How do you know that your application has been touched.
