Feel like a CR-1 CSC Castaway??

[Beth/ Paris Heart 2]

Februay & March filers CSC , feel like your lost on uncharted island? ,Your ship mates resqued and your left behind .

Well here is a new island , we can get thru this together. Our day will come soon. Keep faith.

Some filers had RFE, and still no approvals, some have had petitions on a desk for a few weeks, and no approvals.

So lets survive this island together, and keep each other company.

Ours didn't go to CSC yet still at MSC but I do know what you mean. Filed in February 09. Got our first RFE on a Thursday for med exam, got that done on that friday, picked up the result Tuesday and went STRAIGHT to the post office. They go there this past Friday and now we wait. . . . Thanks for making me realize that we are not alone!

Your welcome, and please stay. I for myself, have had my petition on a officers desk now for 2 weeks, what is he or she doing with it? admiring it or what? Come on process, approve, pick up next one, and etc. etc.

Which castway is next??? S.O.S. save us from USCIS Island.

Thanks for starting this thread!!! I am happy to be in company with those in the same situation as we are. We got Noa1 on March 2nd, RFE on April 3rd and just today California Service Center is showing they received our reply. It took 13 days from arrival at CSC to show received in their system. So now we are hoping for some news soon!!! Would love to hear about others experiences as well!!

How many dont sleep and find themselves trolling on VJ or checking USCIS Case Status line when you should be asleep?

I do, guilty as all out.

WOW I have read the last couple of posts and I do have more information than I am sure they are going to want to see. LOL

How long was it before your case got transfered to CSC? Did it go thru MSC first?

We sent ours to Chicago and then it went to MSC, and now I am just sitting waiting patiently NOT lol I am trying to be patient, but there is nothing more nerve racking than waiting I guess.

Thanks for this post, I see you post lots of useful information on here all the time "Paris Heart" so I am glad to have a place to come and see whats going on with people in my same time frame!

Your the best!

Beth,

I have all the neurotic behaviors that come along with this process. I need LOTS of help knowing what to do for the next steps. I find it all very very confusing. As far as NVC goes, how much paperwork other than forms and payments have to be sent in? Will it be me sending those things or Tarek? See I told you I am clueless about NVC. LOL

We filed the I-130 petition in March, NOA 1 dated March 12th, went straight to California, lucky it did not go to VSC.

Been on a officers desk since April 14th, and as of this minute, still awaiting approval/ had 2 touches April 22nd and 23rd, but touches I think were caused by calling USCIS earlier the week before and system just updated itself. But I admit, it was a spirit lifter, and helped when I needed it most. Just call me Beth

GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY of surfing this site more times a day than I care to count OR ADMIT! LOL

This and the most useless USCIS CRIS system (even though I KNOW they don't update it, I guess I keep hoping for the miracle)!

I get something in the mail and I immediately run to this site looking for the person who has remotely experienced anything similar to us.

I am very greatful to everyone on here and I feel super excited to know that there are people on here in the same boat, and that we can be support and a source of information for each other!

Chins up everyone!

Okay numbers thanks to Igors list:

Feb. filers with Feb. NOA 1 5 Left Un-approved.

Feb. filers with March dated NOA 1 5 Un-approved.

March filers with March NOA 1 22 Un-approved. "I'm one of those. Some filed shortly before me approved, a few filed after me and are approved"

And just for FYI 2 January filers with January NOA 1 Not approved yet.

We are 3 days from May and so many March filers still hanging around mailbox for NOA 2

Jan. and Feb. filers went fast, Im happy for them, but so many March filers still un-approved. What happened?

But dont despair, lets get ready for NVC.

The part that upsets me is that I know if I had sent my Arabic marriage contract in with my tranlated copy we would be approved already. That made me feel like a real loser

We finally got married last month and now have filed I-130, NOA1 as of 31 March 09. I have tried to cancell the fiance visa 2 times allready but it is still listed as active.
