JUST received an e-mail from USCIS stating, "On March 23, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN."

Almost can't believe it and I know my heart skipped a few beats when I saw who the e-mail was from and the subject line!

Hang in there, everyone! Your approval will be coming very soon too!!!!

Haha, congrats!!! I had the same feeling. Except before that there was a moment of fear cuz I got a text that just said "action was taken" on your petition. I opened up the site do fast to find out if that action was an approval, denial, or an RFE. Luckily it was an approval!!! congrats again!!!

Paisaman, any update on your case?

Punished for data mining??

No updates. But clock ticking on my service request. Arg.

I know it's coming but hitting mine last is just bad form.

A special word of thanks to you Paisaman! Your data has been awesome... I pray you get your NOA2 email asap!! You've really helped us all through your efforts, it's been wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing you hit the NVC forums now!

USCIS actually has to thank you for "data mining" for the purpose of giving hope to all of us here. Your statistics helps us see reality so we don't feel left hanging in midair. Well that's how I feel, at least. Btw, I think we asked for service request on the same day and we were both told to wait for another 15 days for decision. And the deadline is next week. Really hoping for an answer soon.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe someone from USCIS has the job to monitor these forums and then "punish" those who say or do things they don't like for whatever reason.

At this point nothing surprises me about USCIS. When I finally heard something from them it was an RFE for documents that I included in my original petition. I'm guessing they lost them. What frustrated me most is that they were well into August petitions by this point. I just wish they would process petitions in the order which they were received.

I hope you get some good news very soon.

Oh.. Don't you know?? They *do* process in the order they are received. *BWAHAHAHA*

Notes from their Ombudsman (applies to refugee processing, but applicable):

2. Processing Times – A caller identified problems with older Form I-730 cases at the Nebraska Service Center (NSC). Despite many inquiries to the NSC, the caller only received form letter responses, which stated that processing will be completed within six months, but the case remained open. Another caller described long-pending refugee-based adjustment of status cases. Specifically, the new cases seem to be moving quickly and efficiently, but older cases are lingering. What should a customer do when a case does not meet processing times and it appears that USCIS is not following the first in, first out process?

USCIS Response: USCIS follows the first-in, first-out process for cases that are ready for adjudication. However, USCIS cannot complete adjudication on an application until all background checks are complete. Additionally, USCIS holds petitions in abeyance if the beneficiary appears to be inadmissible under a provision of Section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Rather than denying the application based on inadmissibility, we are placing these cases on hold while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) actively considers and reviews new exemptions that these cases could benefit from in the future.

For cases that are outside normal processing time, the petitioner or representative may call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 and submit a service request. The office handling the case will respond to the service request within thirty day.

Umm. So yeahhh.. I guess its possible that background checks for Colombia take a long long long time, but my guess is still that really it isn't FIFO its that agents grab a batch and some clear them some don't. Each agent is grabbing a few hundred apps and some are fast and some are on vacation (in my case apparently).

I will be positive. I will be true. I will be patient. I will receive my I130 soon.

Good luck all. FIFO or not, the apps are getting done. Your time will come and so will your loved ones.

Paisaman, your mental strength is an inspiration

Our NOA1 is august 25th and still nothing. Waiting patiently for my service request to yield something.

Still hanging in there.
