OKAY, ALL APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER!

[Imua 0]

my aos bill and ds 3023 were generated today. This IIN is not being given out though and its pissing me off!!!!!

Did you find this out by talking to an operator? I'll call today.

Yep i called them and they told me it was generated but nobody is willing to give out the IIN number. I am officially throwing in the towel in trying to get the IIN from the operator cause they just wont give it out. I will wait for the mail and take it from there.

OK, thanks, maybe I'll just hang tight since we are not ready with all of G's docs yet anyway - he may need to go to his home village to get his PCC and with the festival season coming soon I can see him staying there for the next month...

did u try calling USCIS and asking them what the hold up is?

Sorry, misread your question. No I have not called USCIS. I will try that tomorrow. Thanks that a good suggestion.

ps: I do not get the option to edit my posts for some reason.

OK so here goes.

I called up USCIS this afternoon. They told my case was approved on sept 3rd and when cases are approved they are sent to the NVC. I asked if there was a possibility of any case left behind and they said no. They said I should call the NVC and follow up with them.

Called the NVC multiple times and used the voice response system to check if they received my application and they did not.

Now here is where it gets much more F***ed up. I reach home, check the mail and I see a letter form the NVC. The letter is for the I129 F application and not for the I130 application!!! They are processing the incorrect case. Not only that they are using the incorrect consulate. My wife lives in UAE. I called up and have checked that she could interview in the Abu Dhabi consulate, even though we got married in Mumbai, India and have an email confirmation from the Abu Dhabi consulate.

The good news is that the application has the NVC case number. I tried calling the NVC 2 times but could not get thru a rep. The automated voice response system still does not recognize my NVC case number and USCIS receipt number.

I am calling them and letting them know my case number and letting them know that they have forwarded it to the incorrect consulate. Will also ask them what is up with the I130 application and request for that to be processed rather than the I129 F.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?? SHOULD I DO SOMETHING ELSE?

HAS ANYONE ELSE GOT A LETTER FOR THEIR I129 F APPLICATION OR ARE YOU GETTING LETTERS FOR THE I130? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Please, tell me how you can speak to a representitave now , calling USCIS!!!! I've been waiting forever for my approval, I am an October filer... but on "their record" January. Was transfered to California on the 22 nd of August. I am outside of the processing time since their are doing February now... Please, let me know the trick, because the phone line doesn't let me speak to anyone, but an annoying automative voice. I cannot wait any longer!!!!

Panka, here is a link to a post where everyone who was transferred to California keep tracks of each other and who is getting approved.

Also, here is a spreadsheet showing all the people that were transferred and their current status. Youl will see there are many people transfered around the date you were transferred and are still waiting.

I was transferred on August 13th and was just approved yesterday. So it took 35 days for me.

Good luck.

And please fill out your time line so we can all benefit by comparing your dates with ours.

Your I-130 and I-129f will be assigned different case numbers.

The I-129f just passes through NVC, is assigned a number, and sent to the consulate.

Contact NVC and send a copy of NOA2 for your I-130, so they can locate your case.
