Is it a realtime thing or we can only read after they transcript it?

[Mike n Huong 1]

I was wondering the same. I asked some questions but can't see anything live.

Looks like you can only read after they transcript it?

Any bet the closest we get to a reply is the partial answer of

"Dr. Emilio González

Your question does not state whether your case is based on a family relationship, employment, or something else, such as asylum. We post processing times on our website. If you received a receipt from us for your case and it has a receipt number, you can also check the status of your application on our website.

We also have specific criteria to let customers help us by telling us if their case is older than our current processing time, or about certain other problems. They are summarized in a fact sheet on our website, www.uscis.gov, describing case services for customers who have already filed. I recommend you first use this process. "

(sorry but) This line kills me....."America has a great legacy as a welcoming country for legal immigrants. " If this is the case, quit keeping us all apart from the ones we love....

Sorry, venting.

Mr. Gonzalez,Due to the recently enacted IMBRA law, many visa applications (specifically I-129F K-1 applications) are being held up at the California Service Center with no word on when the approval process will begin again. The Vermont Service Center seems to be approving visas but the process at the California Service Center seems to be broke. Could you please tell us when we can expect to see this fixed? Many people have been waiting patiently but are starting to get impatient due to the inactivity and lack of answers from your personnel. Thank you.

Dr. Emilio González

Both the Vermont Service Center and the California Service Center are actively adjudicating petitions for alien fiance (Form I-129F). All those still pending that came in on the old, pre-IMBRA version if the I-129F have recently been sent a request for the additional information required under IMBRA. Once responses are received by the Service Centers, these cases will be completed.

Did we really expect anything more?? Ok well maybe I hoped for something better than that. LOL! I think he worked the customer service phone line before being promoted to director. Just the standard company line nothing more nothing less.
