April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

Ok so are you saying you had their petition numbers and all other info to tell to those people so they are approved faster? Sorry but total BS! Or are you saying they came here to this thread, READ i

BUT YOU MISSED THIS! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Yes your right but USCIS has pulled many people and they are not doing I-130 right now

instead they are doing.

Please read the following and do a date search yourself and see

In Aug 2010 almost 640,000 visas were issued that's over 100,000 more than the national average on record. So who got all the visas? unfortunately not us...

A recent spike in I-765 (some not major) and I-821 (major spike) shows what the CSC workers on I-129F and I-130 have been busy doing. They took the workers away from these departments more than any other (I'm assuming after noticed no other major drops in other visas being issued) and put them to work on I-821s. Sadly if you look at this chart the spike was still going up rapidly and who knows when it might stop. By the way I-821 are temporary protective status visas.

No maybe I'm missing something obvious and I apologize if I am, but I do not know the reason for this and unfortunately no end appears in sight. Anyway I'm not here to judge I just noticed this appears to be where the visa workers are concentrating on right now and it appears, at least from August data that this depart is growing extremely fast and will need to use many workers for a long time. I do pray I'm wrong and it had a major turn around, but people do need to be protect I guess for whatever reason.

has there been more RFEs and denials than NOAs?

is it possible all "problems" got transferred to texas so we wouldnt slow cali down?

if you gave your info (receipt #s, full name, etc) to anyone on VJ under the guise that they would "help" you through the immigration journey with his inside contacts (like his sister at USCIS) ... please contact OLUInquiries@dhs.gov, and go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact to report anything suspicious. Contact your congressman and senator's offices as well.

I think they just transferred certain clerks petitions for the month of July/August. I do not think they sent the problematic applications to TSC. I haven't had a "touch" since 7.26, but I'm not really worried about it, since they didn't even need to touch it to transfer it to TSC. I went over my application a few times and think I was pretty thorough. It just seems like there hasn't been any action whatsoever for July filers at TSC.

Here's to hoping we get some approvals over the next few weeks or USCIS is getting an earful! :bonk:

USCIS

07/06/10: Package Sent to Chicago Lockbox

07/07/10: Package Received

12/02/10: Touched, YET AGAIN!

12/03/10: TOUCHED!

02/14/11:I-130 Approved Happy Valentines Day!

Case was approved in 212 days

NVC

02/18/11: Received NVC Case number

03/08/11: Optin Accepted

03/17/11: DS-260 completed

03/24/11: DS-260 Supporting Documents emailed

03/24/11: Emailed my I-864 AGAIN because NVC is saying they did not receive it.

04/08/11: NVC robot says they are "Awaiting my Biographic Data" which I assume means they reviewed my I-864

04/11/11: NVC is saying I am missing info, that I did not send in all my documents.

04.14.11: NVC is saying i never emailed anything. I contacted my senate office, who is getting things handled for me at NVC.

Today I received an email notice that our I-130 (NOA1 7-7-2010) was being transferred from CSC to The Texas service center. I wonder how many others got the same type notice?

I hope this doesn't start the clock over!

I realize that others have waited far longer than us for their NOA2. Still the waiting is painful.

Life is short. I wish to get on with it.

Good luck everyone!! :)

Rickey.
