I-130 August 2012 Filers

[coolguy13 0]

You are right Treva!

I can't believe it... got another email from USCIS today saying that it's finally approved!

We waited for 180 days (exactly 6 months if 1 month is 30 days long) after NOA1 from CSC!

Oh boy! What a relief! There is an end to this madness folks... your time will come soon, I pray!

congratulation, was your case transferred to NBC anytime before it did get back to CSC

No, my case was always at CSC (no transfers) because my NOA1 date (9 Aug 2012) came before 15 Aug 2012 when USCIS began transferring cases from all service centers to field offices.

Congratulations

I hope to get my approval soon as well. Mine was filed at the end of August.

due Mar 5th...1 month from today and i tried to expedite due to pregnancy and it was denied today...i don't know what else to do....so many people getting approved and i'm not

Hi Ally, congratulations on your baby! From what I've read, expedite due to pregnancy is not usually granted. You may get an NOA1 very soon, but I've read a lot on VJ about extra administrative processing for middle eastern men that could last average one year Hope for the best, but you have to prepare your mind for the worse.

I know it's hard, but try to have a healthy rest of your pregnancy with as little stress as possible. I hope your husband has family that can visit you and the baby. I have seven-year-old twin girls whose birthday is March 8th. Their father wasn't around. I remember how that was for me... You will find the strength to get through it, then your husband will come. You can do it!

Best wishes,

Treva

Hi treva any news with u. going to close 5.5 months waiting and my case still at NBC as the lat time I checked. do you think ours will be processed there or they will be send it back to Vermont when they are ready to process August cases. or may be they will be send to local office for people who filed I 130 alone as they mentioned in their website.

thank you at this point, i'm willing to try anything to get my husband out of that horrible place he is from..at least all your spouses are from an actual country, mine is stuck in an occupied territory and i have been there 2 times it's sick how israelis treat palestinians he has no family in US, if any of his family want to see the baby I have to go back there. I'm praying everyday for I-130 to get approved and look at all the aug and sept people who are getting approved before me...also i did ask was this taking so long because he was from palestine/arab and of couse they denied that as being a reason but it makes you wonder....

Hi Coolguy,

I think if your case stayed at NBC it would have been processed already.

I have no idea how they decide who stays at NBC and who gets transferred onward to a local field office. I got confirmation that my case is at Atlanta where they don't want to be bothered because they're too busy already with their workload of Adjustment of Status cases and Naturalization cases. Our stand alone I-130's have been sitting there collecting dust not been reviewed yet or assigned to anyone. It doesn't seem fair at all, and some of us who were transferred there have started writing letters to complain.

A phone call to USCIS, speaking to a tier two "officer" might confirm where your case is right now. Or, better yet, make an infopass appointment to be able to go into your local field office and ask.
