Hi! I just want to ask if you guys got married in the Philippines or in the US. My husband and I got married in California but we haven't reported our marriage here in the Philippines. Is it ok that I used my married name in the I-130 even if all my ID and passport are under my maiden name?

Sorry for the late reply. We were married in the Philippines. About using your maiden name, I'm not too sure but I think it should be ok. Maybe someone else has more experience with this topic here than I do and can answer this better for you.

I knew this was the case. Finally a proof.

USCIS is acting in favor of specific countries. I suspect USCIS is trying to "balance" diversity in US by acting quickly in favor of those countries who immigrate less to US. I am thinking USCIS is getting lot more applications from countries like China, India, Philippine, Mexico etc...

That is why applicants from these countries wait more than 4 months to just get NOA2, where as smaller countries, more developed countries that has lot less people immigrating to US get NOA2 in weeks.

Just filed normal, wasn't sure why sent to CSC which seem to be behind everyone else. I wasn't expecting anything until Feb2012. then I notice that the Japan members I'm following was getting approved in like 17 days. so it gave me some hope. I received the notice in 13 days :thumbs:
