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.

Oh dear, it looks like August filers are on the way back. Not sure whether it's good or bad for you...

You just couldn't make it up...blush.gif

I was just wondering the same thing- are they sending August filers packing back to the CSC? I for one haven't received any emails/texts/online updates yet...

I've been transferred back to CSC. Just got this email:

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: WAC**********

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On February 7, 2011, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283. Everything else just the standard email stuff. I'll let you all know when I get my hard copy notice.

Good luck - I hope you get through the rest of this phase without any more complications!

Like you Wade I was approved on the 7th not today the 9th. Strange I didn't get the notifications until today... I'm going to contact the Congressman's office to follow up for a speedy NVC transfer. I wonder if there are more approvals than they could enter in one moment. Also it's strange that they didn't ask for more evidence considering I had a marriage certificate and 2 affidavits (one a couple sentences long from my brother and one from the mayor of Luc's city) Although we did "live" together at his mother's house according to our marriage certificate.

It's easy for all the craziness that's happening to foster paranoia- keep trying your best to remain positive! Look at the folks who've been getting messages of approval and think that that will be you soon :)

An RFE can be good or bad. We had one during our K-1 processing, I had the requested info gathered up for them in one day and overnighted it. The K-1 was approved a week after they got it.

I wonder if batch emails are somehow sent out in alphabetical order... my last name begins with one of the last letters of the alphabet, maybe that's why I haven't received an email spelling out in which manner I am going to be violated next. :blink:
