Okay Castaways, after looking at the Igors approval list, the last 3 approvals were on a Wednesday, Thursday, and a Friday. Well its Wednesday, lets see if USCIS gives out appovals within these 3 days. Im not giving up the fight, the bums will take me down kicking and screaming, Im not giving up even then. Happy 4th everybody, and best wishes for the next 3 days!!! Love ya all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

My deadline date is July 8th as I was told by a little birdie at USCIS, per CSC give it atleast 30 days from receipt of CRIS email of resummed processing etc, blah, blah, blah, to expect a decision from CSC. I can live with that. 7 more days!!!! Easy, peezy!!!!

Truly happy!!!

No GOGO, I will contact him again on July 9th, that is the time that CSC said I would have a answer. A few more days wont kill me, plus gives me time to work on my email to them, cause if I have to email them again, I dont just want to ask, Whats Happening.

I got enough to keep me busy till then with work, the house, the yard , and the long holiday weekend.

I think everytime a person checks on their status, they get put back at bottom of pile, I truly do think that. Its like USCIS is punishing us asking them status about OUR life.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

I think sooner or later you will blow (haha, like me) and let them have it.. they will listen.. if not, I'm going to use the higher-ups and attack from the top too.. it is getting ridiculous for all our cases..

No I will be fair, 30 days per Mr. DD. Plus I have his email, and IF I need to email him July 9th, I will just add on to HIS email to me to remind him of what CSC said of 30 days. Plus in all reality, Im not past 8 months processing time, like you are way past it. 8 days wont kill me.

Truly happy!!!

No I got a answer from him within 15 minutes of the email I sent him.

I wonder if CSC told him 30 days after the resummed processing email of June 8th, , if CSC will mark the file to do it by time they stated to Mr. DD????

Here is a partial of that email:

I contacted the California Service Center concerning your inquiry into the status of your petition on behalf of your husband. They stated that the I-130 was filed by you on 3/12/09. The response to the request for evidence was receipted on June 8, 2009, and the SC advises inquirers to allow 30 days after receipt of their response for a decision to be rendered.

Truly happy!!!
