[Darnell 8,478]

The fella at +1 got his I-130 approved on 10 DEC 2012.

October filler here... I'm starting to get nervous not knowing if everything is ok (no online status, in the dark for almost 2 months). I do spend quite some time on VJ, it's my way to get information, learn about the process, read other people experience (feel less lonely) and feel just a little less "powerless".

My husband won't call USCIS despite all my requests (nice ones, informative ones, not so nice ones, you get the point, ie

I don't know any other way (than calling USCIS) to at least make sure than everything is ok and that we're not "missing" something.

I probably just need to relax but we all know how difficult it is when this process is so life changing.

I am in the same boat as you are, october filer, MSC receipt number and can't see status online, hubby won't call USCIS; he called about 2 weeks ago I think and only spoke to a CSR which only told him there was a glitch with their website! how helpfulllll!!! anyways i'm anxious and I hope we're among the lucky people that got approved within 2-3 months.

woo hoo ! on hold for an ISO this evening, the line cut promptly at 8:30 PM EST. I was like '#######' ? Seriously ?

so at 830 they just cut the lines and did not try to finish helping the calls on hold? WOW

Darnell... what do you mean by the 'add 1' comment?

Darnell... what do you mean by the 'add 1' comment?

say for example your number is MSC111111 if you were to put in MSC111112 you can see who else has applied and what they applied for.

I'm not gonna explain this in open forum, too much, but

if you go to https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus.do

and enter yer MSC Receipt #, it says not found.

Many of us have gone up 10 digits, and down 10 digits, to see if any other casefiles have gotten approved.

The concept is that if someone 'who is close' in receipt #s gets approved, well, they filed on or about the same time.

My hubby won't call either. He barely checks his hotmail. LOL

/headdesk

Oh well he gets back home on Friday, hopefully there will be a big stack of mail waiting for him with something positive to say vs a NOID or RFE. We didn't sent a tonne of evidence, but we do have a joint bank account and I'm on our vehicle insurance. He couldn't figure out how to show I was the beneficiary of his life insurance though. :-/ So I'm crossing my fingers for something good before he goes back to OK city for a month and a half... Maybe by a stroke of luck I'll be moving by June or July.

Interesting, I tried this and found just one before me was an approved I130 Relative Spouse on Dec 3. Not sure what to take from this, but hope its good. I'm just wondering, is everyone getting NOA2 getting Email and Text before written form?

of course when I "add 1" it says "your case cannot be found" ughhhhh this is pissing me off so much, I hate being in the dark not knowing where my case is at and whether or not they've looked at it since I did include an expedite request. I'm going out of my mind (

Ah there are so many things wrong with looking at cases "near" your case number. Please remember they may not be the same circumstances as yours (expediting especially, also different offices) and a lot of people are getting confused by not realizing a lot of them AREN'T I-130s. I think playing with that "trick" is the devil in disguise. Its not going to give you peace of mind, rather it'll aggravate you more to see someone else's progress.

on the contrary, it does tell you what kind of case it is if its an I-130, or any other kind of petition..juts like it would if it was your own case number. yes we may not know if it has been sent a field office or an expedite case but it still gives some kind of idea as opposed to none.
