One frustration out of all of this is that I have had to change my password twice (or was it three times? ) on USCIS website already and I am running out of passwords!

Haha, me too. I have to keep coming up with nonsense passwords that I have to email to myself because I know I'll forget them.

Thank God I will be in my wife's arms on Wednesday (finally able to take time for a visit). I need her every day, but have to settle for a few days every 2 to 3 months.

I believe that all of this delay was a policy decision to reduce the burden on certain consulates. A tier 2 USCIS rep told me 2 weeks ago that all transfers from CSC to TSC were on a 60 day "hold".

Congratulations moonandsun!!!

Lets keep it going!! I want more approvals!!!

@SqdnGuns At least you went and saw the place. I had googled and saw the fortress last night. TSC is less of a fortress than CSC is. I keep praying for your son. Hope he gets better and out of the hospital soon.

I was not planning it to be this fast after all the delay. Im a late August flier, so I figured to wait my turn behind all of you. Im so sorry for everyone here. Please forgive my excitement. Im still hoping and praying for you all.

even thous of us in the 7 and 8 month club are happy to see one of us get approved.......congrats.....

Who else wants to be added on the list for a potential lawsuit against USCIS for not adjudicating in 180 days after inital filing (priority date)?

TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 13 > SUBCHAPTER II > § 1571

§ 1571. Purposes

(a) Purposes The purposes of this subchapter are to—

(1) provide the Immigration and Naturalization Service with the mechanisms it needs to eliminate the current backlog in the processing of immigration benefit applications within 1 year after October 17, 2000, and to maintain the elimination of the backlog in future years; and

(2) provide for regular congressional oversight of the performance of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in eliminating the backlog and processing delays in immigration benefits adjudications.

(b) Policy

It is the sense of Congress that the processing of an immigration benefit application should be completed not later than 180 days after the initial filing of the application, except that a petition for a nonimmigrant visa under section 1184 © of this title should be processed not later than 30 days after the filing of the petition.

Today is 6 months since NOA1....I have no words. Yet, I think of some of you who are 7 and 8 months and I truly think I will be bald from pulling out all my hair if I have to wait two more months.

[Rakmaster 1]

Just a random, meaningless post to help us break the 300 page mark tonight!

Sooo,,,, just 1 approval today? Augh! I guess the wintery weather in TX really may be slowing things down a bit?

I got this message from TSC today saying all applications will have a response within 2 weeks:

"Unfortunately, our office is closed today because of the ice/snow storm that has hit Texas, but I did not want you to wait to hear from me. The I-130s are the priority for the Texas Service Center and we will have an action taken on every petition within the next 2 weeks. On a separate note, we are working with our call centers to ensure a more accurate and consistent delivery of information so hopefully your experience will not be repeated."

You got this via snail mail or email?
