August 2010 - CR1/IR1 Filers

[Saylin 1,605]

Thanks for the explanation. Some one I know filed CR1 visa and I thought that they were affected by the retrogression (but I was wrong).

Thanks again.

Nope, definitely not affected by the retrogression. Glad to clear it up.

so i got what some may call a human...she told me everything is fine with my petition and i need to take in the fact that it was transferred so i was to add 30 days and she also told me that i was to take in account the holidays that we have had.... uhhhhhh im suppose to take in account of that??? or when u put 5 months i should just assume your all full of ######?

more like all full of ###### haha...I have been waiting for 6 months and 11 days and still nothing....I was told by my Congresswoman that I would probably have to wait 45-60 more days, making my time at USCIS a grand total of 8 and a half months in the worst case possible. People normally get their visas in that time! Incredible...just hoping for an approval by the end of this month.

My Congressman told me the same thing 45 to 60 days since the holidays are done

well I will have to wait another few weeks

Good Luck

Sorry to hear that, as I am at NVC stage now, just paid first of fees, and preparing the AOS and IV packet.

I don#t understand what Texas are doing, but talking to your congressman, maybe emailing and calling them will help move things forward.

I see you filed the I-129f along with the I-130 from I gather, the K3 route is being fazed out I think, and its CR-1 as it takes pretty much the same time, and the K3 costs more, and is more paperwork.

Most people I have seen trying that route, have had delays getting the I-130 approved because of the filing of the 1-129f has been holding it up.

you may end up with the CR-1 visa anyway, its much better, and may just disregard the K3 and put you on track with the CR-1 as you are already at 5 month mark with no approval.

It just my opinion, but I think that might be whats happening.
