October 2012 I-130 Filers

We aren't your peer group, though.

Your peer group is the November fellas.

Also, you get no sense of 'whats up' with your casefile as you filed later than us.

I strongly suggest you join the November group and abandon the October group, nowish.

ya darnell be friendly...

[Yugo 7]

Yes! In the past hour or two we were approved. (Checking email and uscis.gov every few hours... )

Time to break out The Happy Dance!!!

Hope others have the same news soon too!

Congratulations!!!! Happy to see more and more coming...

This thing is driving me crazy that I started having dreams talking to ISO's and begging them to approve me:-)... this has to stop someday!

[Yugo 7]

it doesn't really matter much. they received it nov 1 so off just 1 day. there's people here from september and november too.

Please stay, you are welcome to share with us and hear our stories and feel the compassion... it looks months do not really matter as we are all on the same boat for a long time hopefully getting all approved soon.

ya darnell be friendly...

Nah, sorry, about this one thing? I am never 'friendly'.

In the end, it won't matter, as he's officially counted in November set - see http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=2&visa=3&scenter=4&option=3&sortby=2

Hey Amigis

I called today and I am a little confused ,

The operator informed me that eventhough i sent it to the Chicago Lockbox i was assigned to Missouri , Now she informed me that on November 28, 2012 Local Field office in NY has the case therefore i need to go get an appointment to speak to them directly , she said this usually means that they will call me in for a interview or they may just send me an approval letter. I am not happy nor sad am just confused at this point.

I got an appointment for the 3rd so I hope i get the answers i need asap. anywho i am going to start today putting all my documents together in a neat binder just in case they call me in to interview me. I am praying that they dont but if they do i want to be prepared.

- I guess since my husband is 5 yrs younger than me this may be a red flag for them.

but who knows. I hope that I get approved soon so i can plan my vacations to go see him but till then I WAIT!!!

am a little bummed out !!

if you're going in via infopass appointment vs appointment letter,

then it's a great thing to prep yourself to GRILL the desk clerk.

At my local office, the desk clerk does not work for the I-130 unit, at all.

So, work up your questions, get ready to grill the desk clerk.

I have been scheduled for an interview and the only reason I can speculate on is the age difference between my wife and me... :-(

But at least I know it will be cleared on Jan 23rd.

[Darnell 8,478]

Yugo - it simply may be that that's the local office's adjudication process, to include an interview prior to I-130 approval.

[YA 1127 6]

So they sent u a letter for an interview at the local field office .

They told me the same thing when my petition was transferred to the Dallas Office and I got approved on Dec 20th with no interview just and RFE for my hubby's birth certificate which I sent on Dec 15th and got the approval 5 days later. SO have faith

I think since our cases still aren't online:

a) I don't think they've touched them since they were transferred

b) Since they weren't, the new process involves offloading cases to local offices to speed up processing and spread workload, so the comment about the required interview would have happened anyway if there was an issue, except before August, the case would be transferred as an abnormality, see: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=c3c7ca7c5fed9310VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=e7801c2c9be44210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

c) I wouldn't worry about it, i'm more worried about both of our cases not showing up online yet, and hence i'll be there on Jan 3rd unless the case mysteriously shows up before that time.

[YA 1127 6]

Lmaoooo i hope it shows up before the 3rd
