Interesting document.

For those who haven't read it, here's one part regarding I130s:

Forms I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) have experienced processing delays for several years, following a policy to hold preference-based petitions and process them based on visa availability. In last year's annual report, the Ombudsman discussed the backlog of approximately 1.1 million pending I-130s. In March 2009, USCIS began sending pending I-130s to field offices with available staff to perform adjudications. By December 31, 2009, USCIS reduced its I-130 inventory to 690,000 of which 575,000 were preference petitions. The agency expects to adjudicate an additional 750,000 new and pending I-130 preference petitions by December 31, 2010.

Now to find the definition of a "preference petition."

spouses are given preference over sibling petitions, not sure if that's what is meant

DDoS attack might not be a good idea on a govt agency (not sure what it's caled when you do a planned overload attack of the phone system but probably NOT good idea)

Good morning VJ!!!

Preference categories does not concern USC's spouses.

Cheers from a cold & grey Paris.

Yes this was 2 years ago when they were really back logged and behind.

Hopefully this week and next week things should pick up if not were in a hurt than

it means than since Novermber 3rd to the end of November they have not processed

many cases in a 60 day peroid.

Well Lets think positive and see what happens.

Good Luck

Good MORNING MIAMI!!

It's cold in the UK, and I want to come BACK to Orlando!!

This week, will be a pivotal week!

With regard to the theory that over-calling USCIS results in delays is interesting. Our lawyer also advised against calling (you have to wonder why?).

We could all individually analyse this by checking the approvals spreadsheet.

I don't mean to rub it in, but it's going to be 74 and mostly sunny today -Yet one more reason I'm hoping you get to cross the pond sooner rather than later

About the over-calling thing- I've heard elsewhere as well that we may need to be judicious. I've scheduled a teleconference with an active immigration attorney this evening, I'll ask him if he's heard anything about our CSC-TSC batch.

I'm also going to contact a Congressman today and see if his office can help.

Wishing for the best for all of us

I don't mean to rub it in, but I'm going to have lunch with a co-worker and drink a nice glass of delicious French wine!! It's her birthday . It will allow me to forget TSC for a couple of hours.

Tonight is the approvals night!!!

Let's hope we have some good news this week. I received a response to a TSC service request that stated the following:

"Your petition is being held for further review, therefore the processing time will be longer. Please check on the status of your petition after 180 days if a decision has not been made before then."

That was a few weeks ago. Anyone have a similar response? What does it mean, if anything?

Yes, our senator had that response, and I believe many others have had it too. I think it's just another email that says "Hey, we're behind, we need more time".

I THINK others have since been approved after receiving this email.
