Hey guys, I am an April 2013 filers who is sick of the wait, I understand what each of you are going through. The wait is a horrific heartache. I suggest we all contact the USCIS Ombudsman Liaison simultaneoulsy at: OLUInquiries@dhs.gov

I just sent the following to the Ombudsman. Be sure to read through and change how long my petition has been pending to match yours. I will post this letter in the Feb, Mar filers for them to send similar letter and we should all submit at the same time. Perhaps they will pay attention if we fill the mailbox with this.

Subject: Assistance with I-130 Petition at the USCIS National Benefits Center

Dear OLU,

The purpose of this email is to inquire about an I-130 petition I filed at the USCIS National Benefits Center (NBC) in Lee’s Summit Missouri to reunite with my wife.

The receipt number: MSCxxxxxxxxxx

This petition has been pending for over 5 months (USCIS processing goal according to its website) as of September 3 2013 and I have yet to be notified by the NBC on a decision.

I have called the USCIS toll-free number multiple times to inquire about the status of my petition and was on those occasions able to talk to various Tier 2 Officers who provided conflicting information about the processing time – some said 5 months, others 6 months, and so on….

Some petitioners whose priority date is after mine have received a decision from NBC and others prior to mine are still waiting. It seems as if petitions are RANDOMLY processed.

USCIS, in order to satisfy its customers should STANDARDIZE the process for FAIRNESS as every family is equally important and provide CONSISTENT information upon customer's request or inquiry.

The wait is tedious and I seek your attention into my case with NBC.

Regards

Your name
Your Address

Phone: (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Today we get checklist - NVC want more information on i-864. also they have emailed it to me using my name before my marriage to my USC husband.

Now i am all confused again . What a mess. We have an attorney in USA doing all this for us - What a waste of money - they have failed to do the job correctly !!!!

Now i dare say they are going to justify their faults of not doing the forms correctly.

What a day !!!!!

I am still waiting for my NOA2. Last information was that it was being transferred yet again to a different field office. So, our application has just been transferred around, without anyone actually ever looking at it. I feel beyond hopeless at this point. 8 months of waiting for the NOA2.

Checklist sent back today by courier, they should receive it Monday - i'm praying Thursday we get some good news that case is complete. Will keep you all informed if we do or not.

Don't be so sad, your not alone in that, we are a lot of people like you in the same boat. For the ones who are outside waiting we just have to try to relax, enjoy our families here, try to keep busy. I know waiting is the harder part, but someday this will change. Nothing last forever, and soon we will be reunited with you loved ones.

For the ones who are there, well is not your fault that this is so slow. We are dong the right thing in the right way, so someday we will get our reward.

Hang in there!!!

Can you fill in your timeline and let us all know when you filed, it helps a lot

thanks

Filled my timeline in if this will help any of you.

My husband rang USCIS 3 times a week if that may help any of you.

Also because they hadn't looked at our file at NVC before sept 1st we then had to do the new process of the ds260.

Well they received our checklist yesterday but back to a 20/30 business day wait again for them to review it, i do pray they don't send out another checklist as it has been know.

Good Luck all of you . Let us keep each other in prayers for this process to end asap.

Have a great day .

I'm so sorry, but anyone already saw the update in the process times for the I-130?

I'm about to vomit, they are showing 16 months!!!

I try so hard to remain positive but man, this is insane, how do the dare to treat us like that?
