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."

That sounds like great news!

mrs. T

DR AM

Alison G.

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.

I sent affidavits, photos, and of course the marriage license along with google chat logs. Now you guys are making me nervous. At least in theory they SHOULD respond quickly after you forward them the evidence they requested, so you guys are nearly done. I'm wondering for those who got approved, what kind of evidence of bonafide marriage did they include in their applications? Why are some newlyweds getting RFEs while other's aren't? Perhaps they are training themselves on the RFE process?

I didn't sent anything with my petition,I thought that part is for US Consulate,when beneficiary goes for interwiev.They are doing background check,why do they need all the pictures and evidence for.All my conversations,e-mails,text massages with my husband is in Turkish language.Good luck to them,if they can understand :rofl:
