March 2010 CR1 filers

[TomD 4]

Maybe I jinx the rest of the march and april filers when I applied for my wife Maybe they saw my application and said to themselves " I think since he has applied lets all take a break for the next 5 months and not do any work . Sorry I guess I should have used my code name so that we would have all been approved by now.

Anthony, I was feeling bad because of the progress of my application ... Well after checking yours out I feel good THANKS!!! I needed a boost. I am hoping that things move for all of yah ASAP ... Tomorrow should be a good day. RIGHT>

Well Tom I am glad that I was able to give you that needed boost. But beware when I get to the NVC stage whenever that may be Because since I have all this time on my hands waiting for our approval notice. I have been able to get all the paperwork together.

But at the rate that USCIS is going I won't get my approval until it is time for me to file my 2010 taxes.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to post this comment I got from another Visa site that I am on. If memory serves me correctly, he works for NVC. When I read this comment from him I felt I should post it here.

[b]Despite the optimistic estimate I posted in May on this thread, I am now seeing I-130 petition approvals exceeding 5-month timeframes, though not by much.

Unless there is some indication of a "Request for Evidence" indicated on the USCIS status page, I still think it is too early for you to consider "calling out the Marines."

This might be some insight to why it is taking so long for us to get our approvals

My paper work is ready !!! but now I have to update it because I was going back 3 months on my supporting documents and I now need to get July and maybe Aug in there... These guys are killing me...

Hey Folks,

There are apprx. 10 or so people awaiting for NOA-2. E.g. I have noticed that march 16th would get NOA-2 early than march 23rd. After thinking a bit and observing the trend of approvals and unapproved petitions, here's my thought on this:

Some petitions are having same noa-1 date as the petition received date. While some petitions are received on : let's say 9th april and cheque's were cashed on 16th april and their NOA-1 date is also 16th.

So my guess is that, it could be true that USCIS might follows the RECEIVED DATE as their priority date. Since if you look at some of the approved petitions, some are approved faster and some are still waiting. (although those who are waiting their noa-1 date is earlier than those who are approved).....so really thinking why these uncertainity is there, .... and it could be because of they are following by received date....

it's just my thought......rest is assumptions......you are free to give your views on it...... give your inputs guys.....TEYA, John, Tom, Yahya, loto and so on...

here is what i think

-not everybody who filed for the I-130 know about visa journey if there are 110 petition filed for march can you imagine how many people who filed for the same petition but they dont know about visa journey

-uscis go by order only in the begining of each moth we saw that in march they went by order but when they got to the 10th they start going random and approve little bit from the middle and the end

-they may have officers that take specific countries like middle east and north africa ....philippines....uk......russia....vietnam...china im not sure but this is what i think

- uscis always leave some petitions till they approve them with the next petitions the following month

CONSPERICY THERORY?...WOW SORRY Kruz_patz I dont think the USCIS nor the NOA are that smart or devious. For those who are late I would be calling and asking questions everyday!! Good questions. Think them out before calling. Speak to Supervisors but you need to do this in a nice, friendly way. Dont get over demanding or loud. Calm, informed and clear is the way to go. Remember if you PI$$ them off your case might get lost or who knows what. You are dealing with people.

I am hoping that everyone will get their NOA2 or at least an RFE so that you know something. Its the not knowing that drives up nuts. Just avoid playing those MIND GAMES... Santa Claus likes you as much as everyone else except for me of course just ask my sister...

Well I agree on everything but having officers for different country..........thanks for replies.....

Looks like everyone's still waiting for their NOA2. It might end up taking 5 months for most the late March and all of April filers. Hopefully not six months. Good luck. And there probably won't be any approvals this week. I'm just saying.

looks like it Indigo. I dont see the light anymore. I dont think i will be bringing my wife back with me around Christmas

Same for me, I don't think my wife can come to visit me in india by the end of this year and we can travel back togather..........

My wife and I had agreed that she wouldn't move to America until after December 2010. So I'm not too worried about this whole immigration process yet. Hopefully, everything will be ready to by then. She can move here in early 2011. Meanwhile, I am looking forward to filing my tax return as "married filing jointly." I can smell the refund check. It'd be nice to get money back now instead of owing IRS.
