January I-130 Filers

[rajee 1]

No touches since the first one (after the NOA1) on 3/11

[Iceprincess 0]

Touch showing again on 3/28/08, two touches in two days on my I129F, not sure what to make of this. According to the new processing dates they are working on much earlier ones than mine. My NOA1 wasnt until this month because I had forgotten a signature the first time I sent it and they sent it back to me. Im so hoping this is good news, the waiting is so hard.

Jan. filers cheer up! One Dec. person who filed on 12/24 at CSC get approved today! I ask question there asking if he gets any touch before approved. Sounds like no touch after NOA1.

Maybe it's our turn next month.

I have read that some I-130's with a NOA-1 in January 2008 have been approved. Dont get me wrong this is great for those people and gives hope to everyone else. So thats good news. But what I dont understand is how is this happening? The USCIS are supposed to sort applications in order received. The USCIS received our I-130 petition on Sept 10th 2007 and we received NOA-1 on Dec 27th 2007. So how come approvals seem out of order? We dont have ours yet. We have a lawyer doing our paperwork so all should be in order and we have no requests for further information. So does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on at the USCIS. We are at the Vermont Service Center. Plus with the I-130 dates going backwards at Vermont I really have no idea when I should be able to join my wife in the USA. Any ideas?

Cheers

You have my prayers Dave, I want to be with my husband more than anything. This system seems broken on so many levels. Ive had two touches on my 129F and I received a call from my congressman's office last night to inform me that Vermont may or may not have lost my I-130. I have the receipt number and it is showing as pending on the USCIS website but when my congressmans office called to check on it, they couldnt find it. I am supposed to wait while they determine if I have to resubmit it. Ive already heard of Vermont losing other peoples paperwork. My patriotism is taking some serious blows as I see more and more examples of inept people and an inept system.

It seems that CSC is working very quickly these days and also that those who filed for K-3 are getting approved much, much quicker (hmmm...wondering if we should have gone that route) but VSC seems to be seriously dragging it's feet or doing nothing at all on I-130s. ??? I am waiting for a response from my congressman's office but I just saw on the news that he is quitting June 1 to work at a law firm. Saying a lot of prayers these days....

Hey guys,

What are we suppose to do now. I feel like I'm in limbo and I'm not getting anything done. And I miss my wife.

Hey Rickie, we really understand .... the distance is getting quite difficult now, and the not knowing is making it worse. Limbo is a good word for this process.

Big hugs to both of you, and lots of wishes that the approvals for us all happen quickly xx

Cornishman, I we have pretty much the same Timeline as you. Nothing happening for me either. Nothing...I can't seem to find any explanation anywhere. It's like the app fell in a big black hole and they forgot about it. I pretty much felt like I was alone VSE K3 time line with no one in my situation. Maybe one or two members with same situation lingering around visajourney that I saw were getting no where just like me. Its, as sad as it sounds, and by no means I want it to sound and be selfish, pretty comforting that there are more like me who are desperately trying to find an answer and are simply perlexed at the way VSC is running things. Anyway, keep in touch. Now there are at least two. Take care and good luck to all of us.

The VSC doesn’t seem to be very active lately, so it is difficult to even guess on processing times. Based on your timeline, you “should” be hearing something very soon.

I’ve been trying to estimate processing from CSC and listed the priority dates below that “should” be coming up soon.

It is difficult to wait, but patience is definitely needed. I wish you the best of luck on a speedy approval.
