Houston field office

[speedwell 224]

Hi, folks. Houston is pretty busy but I have not seen any of our forum members whose local office is Houston say they have approvals. Has anyone received an I-130 approval (standalone) from that office? Does anyone have any idea what's going on there?

Hi, Aidan. The Houston field office is a USCIS office, not an NVC office. What number do you have for them?

ALSO: PLEASE GO FILL OUT YOUR TIMELINE. I don't see any information that shows when your I-130 was transferred to Houston or even when you filed it in the first place.

Oh, you are calling the NVC after all, OK. I didn't know they had a Houston office. That is not a Houston phone number in any case.

My original post was about the Houston field office for approving my pending standalone I-130. I'd still like to hear from any forum members who had an I-130 processed through Houston.

Sorry, that's not the local Houston USCIS office number.

Please recheck the address you sent yer NVC checklist letter response documents TO - let us know the city and state? Thanks so much !

Just wondering if anyone else has had an approval around/since then and if it has reached the NVC yet ... because they STILL don't have mine??? .. USCIS said our petition was in houston but NOA2 letter we got had the NBC Missouri address is that normal ??..

They did the same thing to me. Houston seems to collect all the cases for the month and then send them in a big box. I would still be calling the NVC to see when it is entered into the system (this will be 2 to 3 weeks after they receive it in the mailroom).

Aghh ... well it's been a month since we were approved ... hopefully NVC will get our case soon ...

I'd like to bump this to see if anyone has more recent info on NBC-transferred-to-Houston I-130 approval times - I'm trying to gauge how fast Houston is turning these things out, since there's no good way to track specific field office processing times here or at USCIS.

I searched through timelines of those users most recently active here who are going for IR-1/CR-1 through NBC->Houston with NOA1 in 2013, and only found 2 - http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=151568 and http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=154418 (Nimz). Approval times of 35 and 56 days.

Also, egov has Houston's number of monthly completions trending way up in the past few months http://dashboard.uscis.gov/index.cfm?formtype=4&office=62&charttype=1

Has anyone else other than speedwell and Nimz (and the other I linked above) received a recent I-130 approval who lives in the Houston office's area?

Thanks!

Hello, I am from Houston too, but so far my case is still at NBC.

I have question for you? Was yours a stand alone I 130? Is that the reason why u got transferred to the Houston local office?

I also only filed I 130 on mmarch. So far no info..

Thanks for the update - yes, my I-130 is stand alone. Have you tried calling the USCIS line to get an update? I've read here that 6 weeks is the point to see if your case has been transferred to the local office.

[mygrade100 2]

it's been 3 months now. the last time I called was about 3 weeks ago. at that time it still wasn't transferred yet.

Hmm, well keep pushing! If I were you I'd be expecting something soon

[mygrade100 2]

Yes, hopefully, it will get approved soon...what upsets me is that whenever u call them they are not willing give much info
