Anyone have updated information or need to add themselves to the list? Do we have anything in common? Last names that begin with the same letter? Same service center? What happened to our applications? My last name begins with an M.

Have to add:

I-130, NOA-1 March 2, 2006

NOA-2 approved I-130 June 8,2006

But the goof balls thinks she here with me, And wants us to apply for adjustment of states. so now they won't move the I-130 to the NVC.

I've called, emailed and wrote a letter explaining they made an error, but their ignoring me.

Don't know what to do now.

There could be a few reasons including getting a name hit and being held up in security checks. This is common and the time it takes to clear these checks is anyones guess. Sometimes they are cleared quickly, other times not. VSC in the past had generally approved I-130's very quick in comparison to other service centers. You must remember that this is for the biggie, the immigrant visa or status and in the past had taken a couple of years. I would bet that the majority that havent received approvals yet are from CSC and this is not out of the ordinary.

If you havent had any success I would be inclined to let it stay put with USCIS and have your spouse enter on the K-3. There has been members (one in particular comes to mind) that had awful problems under similar circumstances and his petition ended up in a big black hole that nobody could find.

What's a name hit? Our last names are Cameron and Mansell. We have no criminal history and no security issues that I know of. I'm a nurse, and I get criminal history and background checks every single year. You know, they told me that they hadn't even touched my application from the time it arrived in Vermont on March 1, 2006 to the time they transferred it to California on July 14th - so I can't see how it's being held up by anything when they hadn't even started to process it. I suspect I just got in the "slow" pile just like you can get in the "slow" line at the grocery store

I gave you a quick run down of the name hit in response to your post in the K-3 forum so wont repeat it here.

Have a read of the following link. The thread will give you a good idea of what happens at service centers. Note in particular posts by meauxna

GL & WA 3/15/06 ----> we haven't received anything for a long time.

our petition was last touched on 3/24/06 and that was it.

we share your frustration but are trying to remain positive (and busy).

the process appears to be very random. i think we'll go crazy trying to figure out what the USCIS is doing.

i am the USC from NJ --- last name begins with "Z". similar to you and your spouse, we have no criminal records. we thought our case would be straightforward. we never would have guessed that this part of the process would have taken this long.
