Hi, you know what that means??

On April 25, 2011, your document I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was processed and mailed to the address on record. If you have not received it within 30 days of April 25, 2011, contact customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move while your case is pending, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

I strongly suspect that this is a RFE (Request For Evidence). Either you didn't fill out the form correctly (thus they are returning it to you and requesting that you provide missing information, etc.), or they don't believe something you wrote (thus they are requesting that you provide official documents or other evidence).

[Please enter the date "4/25/11" into your VJ Timeline - under I-130, in the RFE #1 box]

What are you insinuating about the December K1 Filers at CSC? That they're doing ours and stopped working on Dec I-130s? If so, I would appreciate you not use the Dec K1's as an excuse for your wait

Its not like the USCIS sets out to discriminate against certain types of applications. As we've read in countless other postings, they play catch up with all of us at some point. They are not stupid e

What I've heard and read, it seems to not be so horrific. Fingers crossed!

I will fill in "RFE" if it is one... But that is not clear yet. I also changed our US address on USCIS... Maybe it's that. I'll have my husband call them and ask what's going on.

no need to rain on other people's parade just because you got your NOA2 already. you remember what happened the last time you kept being mister bad news on this thread about your government shutdown nonsense? yeah it annoyed everyone. people come here for support. if you can't offer up some positivity around here, just keep busy calling NVC to get your case number. that's what you should be doing anyway at this point instead of pissing people off, Mr. Brightside.

Please don't be scared....they have not forgotten about you, they just haven't gotten to you. Keep your faith, hold on to God's promises. Remember He will never leave you nor forsake you therefore trust that things will happen in His perfect timing. It is hard, I know. Just a few days ago I was pacing the floors biting my fingernails too wondering what is going on. But praise be to God that God is God and that He is in control. You'll get it. You will, trust and believe that. Let it go and let God handle it and watch Him work.
