October 2013 I-130 Filers

[Ketsuban 1,034]

October 10 here. My patience ran out a long time ago! Get your act together USCIS!

(just need to vent a bit...the reality of spending even more time apart from my wife is starting to get to me--both of us!...)

this really is becoming a joke. I can't believe you're still waiting. It's like Texas has gone to sleep, both for spouse and fiance petitions.

Question for anyone filling out the I-864 form part 2 where it says

Information on the principal immigrant "Wife"

Do you put the last name what shows on the barcoded cover sheet (single last name) or the married last name in this case my last name?

I did put her married last name (my last name) on the I-130 form.

I called to NVC from Japan n our case has arrived there on May 2. But no case number yet.

NOA2 April 15. Good luck everyone!

Any news about case number#?

Yes it was originally routed straight to Vermont Service Center.

First, thanks to everyone for the helpful input and after reading everything I had a plan of action for today. But alas, I got a text message from USCIS stating that my case had been updated!! I hoped for good news but this is what I got:

"The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you."

Hey guys, were you able to find out where they transferred your case?

Hi guys! We just paid both of the bills online (AOS and IV) on may the 28th and it's still "in process". Do you have any idea how long does it take to be processed? I can't wait to fill DS 260 form!!!

Also, I'm new on this and I have been trying to do my timeline in VJ and it sends me errors, LOL….

No, and apparently USCIS doesn't know either. The day after I called them about the update to try and get resolution I got another status update that said my spouse's alien reqistration number had been changed. I guess that really doen't mean anything from what I've heard. Regardless I called AGAIN the next day to inquire as to the whereabouts of my file and spoke to yet another tier II rep that knew absolutely nothing. She said that it is "probably" still at VSC so she would send them an email to confirm or have them track it down and that I would get a response "no later than June 6"...almost 8 months to the day since I got NOA1.

I don't even know what to do anymore, I'm at a complete loss.

It takes about two to three business days. So I'd say on Monday it should show as paid

If you got that alien reg. number change message, it means someone is working on your case. I wouldn't wprry too much abt transfer then. may be tier 2 is right and it's still at VSC.

I've updated the Oct spreadsheet. I deleted some inactive members.

CSC: 100%

NSC: 97%

VSC: 77%

TSC: 80%

Total: 91%

I hope the remaining seven Oct filers receive NOA2 this week!

I had to come home from work at 11am today because I'm so stressed. Not because of all the waiting around, but I keep imagining I won't get to the future medical or interview in time. Mine and my husband's families are also going through tough times at the moment. I was on the verge of passing out at my desk, so I just bundled up my paperwork and left! They're not kidding when they say this process isn't for the faint of heart I'm a total big girl's blouse.

Today is not my day. Got my PCC with a mistake on it. Went back to the police office to recorrect it.

I am really stressed out. Cannot even explain this feeling.

But VJ friends , you guys the only one who keep me alive.

I will keep praying for all of us.

Ketsuban, stay positive girl! Everything is going to be alright......

Stay strong, girl! Take a vacation if you have to even though it might delay your immigration process for 1-2 weeks.

I just came back from a 13-day vacation. I feel much better. I was okay with my case being delayed for 1-2 weeks while on vacation. Well, it turned out that it didn't delay my case at all because NVC has been super slow. I'm still waiting for the email asking me to fill out the DS-261 form and pay the AOS fee.

How bad can it be? Next time you're stressed, remember that some of us are still waiting for approval. Take it easy and be glad you're out of uscis at least.
