Atlanta Transferrers

[loveyourlife 2]

Today is 136 days for me. 4 months, 2 weeks, and 1 day. I am also waiting for the processing dates to come out for November. Is it 5 months or 5 and a half months that we can submit an inquiry on our cases? I can't wait to hear of your approval, abezyo, because it means that mine will be coming soon! have you tried to submit a service request yet?

I heard that you cant submit one until 5 months and 2 weeks. I have tried but it wouldnt go thru yet. Im scared to do it because I dont want to get that email about waiting an extra 6 months :S...but yes I cant wait for my approval! I hope I hear something these next 2 weeks...Im staying hopeful but who knows. Maybe one of you guys will get an approval before me!

You can write congressman in the meantime, yes?

Might not actually help the process, but makes you feel good.

Maybe you get a helpful one like NOLA.

Do you think this will be helpful? I have no idea. I did some research and it says I should send a consent to privacy information form along with my NOA1 and I should probably attach the 797C action transferred to NBC letter. Does anyone have the slightest idea about how to write one? I dont want to start a new topic so any help will be very helpful.

Most of them all have places on their website to contact.

For Example:

Which also includes a link to his privacy release form:

For my Senator there was only a little box on his website to write about what your problem was. I tried to keep it concise - sort of a hey here is the situation. It then asked to specify what they could do to help you. I would be very blunt and clear, "I want to know why it appears that the Atlanta field office is not approving the I-130s sent to it in a timely fashion, if at all. I would also like your help to get them moving to start working on the standalone I-130s which due to recent immigration changes they have been tasked with." Maybe it is a bit colloquial, but it is clear.

I'm sure that someone will tell you that you need something very formal, but I'm not really sure it is necessary.

Okay done. I used the contact form our Senator from Alabama provides and hopefully I hear something. I also used what you typed along with a bit more information. Heres to hoping for the best!

I'm going to write our senator too. Can't hurt to try, right? Let me know if you hear anything back.

Who'd you write? I wrote Senator Shelby

USCIS finally updated their website. For the month of november, receipts = 1,039, completions = 660, and all others pending is 4,918. I can't wait to see one of us approved so that we can be assured that this numbers are real. Lets keep our fingers crossed. Cheers!!!

Work was super hectic today but I hope to write tomorrow. Is it better to do a senator or house rep? Or does it not matter? I haven't looked into it too much yet.

Hi y'all,

Just wanted to post on my call to USCIS.... spoke to Officer Mencia who was very pleasant. He said that Atlanta does not have a set processing time as in 5 months or 6 months, but that for I-130's they are on now working on May 28.

(What does that tell you, when NBC didn't start routing stand-alones until late August at the earliest?)

Officer Mencia also said that my petition was transferred to Atlanta on October 3rd. Lol, when I called USCIS in December, a not very pleasant officer Taylor said my petition was still in Missouri, so what does that tell you? (Do ISO's know what they are talking about??)

Officer Mencia said, of course, that one of the reasons our I-130's are routed to the field offices are because we're supposed to be scheduled for an interview there, and that Atlanta should schedule the interview within 60 days of getting my file. Since they haven't done that he suggested I can either call back every 20 days to find out if there is an interview scheduled yet or find out by Infopass.

I do have an Infopass appointment already set for this Friday at 8:00am, and if anyone wants to join me, you are welcome!! Any tips, Darnell, on how to get to the I130 supervisor?

Oh, just one thing about that May 28 date... May 28th is the filing date that USCIS shows VSC is currently working I-130's. I have an EAC number. I couldn't file a e-request online a couple weeks ago because it's reading my EAC number to mean my file is in Vermont, and so since I did not file prior to May 28th, the e-request was denied. I'm wondering if Mencia maybe pulled out that May 28th date the same way?

Alright, I have to work now! Later!

If you write a Senator, I'd think it would be more helpful. Not real sure though.

I’m not an Atlanta filer but in Charleston but the May 28 date is what VSC is currently working on. That’s what hubby was quoted on when he asked for a service request on our NOID (which is outside NOID processing time). His request was denied because we have an EAC# and we are within Vermont’s processing time. Sigh…
