February 2013 I-130 Filers

[annie1 9]

Don't post often but thought I would update the February filers. Noa 1 date February 7 got the email on Friday saying I-130 approved. I live in NYC but never called to ask if application was transferred from nbc to local field office. Waiting for the noa 2 hard copy in the mail. Honestly was not expecting to hear anything for another couple of months. Good luck to the rest of you still waiting.

so my wife called USCIS today to find out about our i130. It's going to be 5 months exactly on 29th June since we received NOA1. As reccomended by KDH, she asked the direct question of when our application was transferred to NYC Field office & the Tier2 agent said March! My wife didn't get the exact date. The Tier2 agent was pleasant enough to say the application is still in process and we should wait another month before making infoPass. So I guess its another months wait here.

Hello, I'm new here, my wife and i are February filers too, she's the USC.

My wife filed form the US, and our priority date is February 19th, we got a MSC number and our case is at "Initial Review" stage, and it went visible on the case status online tool after receiving form I-797 followed to the acceptance e-mail.

So now it has been about 4.5 months passed without any update, i don't know what to do, and i don't know whether my case is still at the NBC or it was transferred to a local field office.

Is there any one else have the same issue?

@sing_us,

just wanna know what's going on?!

Earlier today i called the 800 number and talked to a customer service representative, she said which is stated on the website, then I asked her talking to a tier 2 agent, the recorded message said that the holding time was about 57 minutes so I choosed to be called when an agent be available.

After I got speaking with him, he asked me about some personal information then he said that as I'm the beneficiary he can't tell me any thing about the case, only the petitioner could ask for it. (that's sucks)

Is that right or he got a reason to hang up the call?

i got the same answer today. but i wasnt checking my own case

i was inquiring for a relative's case on beneficiary's behalf. they said same thing to me that they only share the information with the applicant not beneficiary. and i thought beneficiary can call too. i think i have read beneficiaries calling tier 2 officers.

Yeah, that is right. The first time I called, the same happened to me but then I called again, the next agent was nice enough to tell me that if i was to make a 3-way call and get my wife on the phone, he would be able to answer our questions. Which I did, immediately, and he answered all our questions. It's best to have the petitioner call them and ask everything to avoid the hassle though.

I think you was lucky and got a helpful agent, mine wasn't has time to listen to me. Anyway I think I can't make a 3-way call via MJ app, so as you said it's better the petitioner call them, then we will see.
