Is California Service Center backed up?

[lomeshp 0]

I have filed for parents in April. I know on USCIS's website it says 5 months so I still have time before I start complaining. But wanted to know if California Service Center has slowed down. Few months back, I was saw them approving cases within 30-50 day window....

Anyone have any info?

Yes they have slowed down a lot. back in march they were approving I-130's for parents in under 30 days. Sorry you have had to wait a lot longer than some of us.

Hi,

So how long we should wait now. My parents' cases just transfered to CSC last week, when should I expect to have GC on hand?

Thanks

Good morning

Our case is about 2 months ahead of yours and we are hoping and praying that we will be in the US in October. (if all goes well!)

The GC will arrive about a month after entry into the US.

We have had our NOA 1 for about 10 weeks. Looking at TayRivers progress chart I see that people who submitted 4 weeks earlier than us are still waiting for NOA 2.

In March the time between NOA 1 and NOA 2 was between 7 - 9 weeks, now it is about 15 weeks.

I hope that helps you estimate your own timeline, if I am incorrect I am sure that VJ members will put me right!

I wish it could be quicker. I have underestimated over and over again in the hope that we will be the case that beats all expectations, now I am trying to be a little more realistic!

Best wishes to all

Richard

Oh yes, I am on speed-dial for the NVC!

USCIS website has not been updated.

Postings on other forums conifrm this 'problem'. Not sure what is going on at the CSC but I do hope that the situation changes very soon for all our sakes.

6+ months and still counting here.

What is going on with the USCIS website?

The waiting time has moved from 5 months to November 15th 2003...!

This may be (and I hope) a typing error.

Does anyone have any light to shine on this topic?

This was also mentioned in the CR1 forum, and apparently it has happened before (error updating the site).
