Hello everyone! I thought I would finally join the March 2014 filers thread. The PD for my husband's I-130 was March 18, and we still have not been approved. I'm starting to get anxious...

You should call them & ask for service request. I think NSC is approving April filers.

They submitted a service request for me, but they said I should hear back from them in 15 days, that was last week. Is there anything else I can do?

To be honest, even I don't know what else you can do. I have been waiting to hear back from them as well. I filed E-service request today. They said I should hear a reply back by Oct 8 :(

Congrats Tenzy!!!

Tavotevi,

I called NVC also and they said the same thing to me about the I-129F, but the great news is that we dont need this anymore.

The only thing the I-129F was good for is to speed up the process at USCIS, so it's actually a good thing it is cancelled. Now we will get the CR1 visa which is alot better and cheaper in the long run. I'm still waiting for them to recieve my case at NVC. They said it can take up to 25 days, so I'm hoping you will post if you find out before I do when they recieve yours because ours were shipped on the same day. I also noticed where they've changed some things up where we can ship our AOS and IV packages together. I think that will be great also. If i remember correctly you are going through the process with a lawyer, which makes everything faster I hear. Check out travel.state.gov

click the immigrate tab. Maybe you have already seen this, but if not its a good place to look.

I will definetly let you know if any update, i plan to call next week. For now my lawyer wants my taxes and my joint sponsors along with a copy of his passport. She wants to revise them and have them ready to be sent out. I was also looking at the bright side of everything and we will now be nothing but positive ? i got feedback from another timeline..i noticed it took about a month to get a case #.. And from then on 8/8 til now he has sent everything already, he is now waiting for a case complete or a checklist..which is when they say to expect a notice within 60 days..so that gave me a timeframe of around 4 months..of course you never know. But lets hang in their!! We have made it this far! I also came across this info and i really liked it..

Hope to chat with you soon with more good news!

My husband filed I-130 for me at Nebraska on 19th March, 2014 and we are still waiting.. :clock: The wait is killing now...esp when all others are approved even from April and May. We also filed I-129F in June, 2014.

Since we filed I-129 F a bit late, is that why we are getting a delay in approval? Just assuming... Need all your support, guys. Really disheartened.

Congrats! I called yesterday for a service request, so I really hope I hear something soon. How long did it take to approve you after your request?
