hello all,

first of all congrats to those who have been approved, and for those who are still waiting... let's file a class action lawsuit! i just started following this thread, and am a fellow february filer - filed on Feb. 20, 2013, and received my NOA1 on Feb. 22, 2013... after that complete silence. I decided to go to my congressman this past month to follow up on the case and this is the response I get from her

"I did recently receive a response from the National Benefits Center. Our congressional liaison indicates the system shows the case, MSC*************, was received in their office on 2/20/2013 and is currently pending. She further states that stand-along Immediate Relative Form I-130 petitions are being sent to the National Benefits Center (NBC), for transition to the local field office of jurisdiction for adjudication. Due to the current workload at the field offices, NBC current processing time for I-130 applications is approximately 12 months.

She further states that they will review and adjudicate an I-130 Immediate Relative request for expedite if the file is located at NBC. With an expedite request, you must have supporting documentation for such a request. Expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director (see attached) so there is no guarantee that it will be approved.

I realize this is not the news you had hoped to hear, but I am pleased to provide you with this update."

TWELVE MONTHS?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE ****!!!!!!!!!

why don't we have these uscis officers try to live without their loved ones and see how they like it. I don't, and i'm sure no one else wants to wait just a year to get an approval and then get dragged through NVC. What do we do? What CAN we do?

[Shirley& Dan2 9]

I would love to be part of a class action lawsuit. My i130 priority date is Feb.26. Still nothing.. I can't believe this mess the uscis is putting me thru or anyone that is still waiting for thier loved one. What do we do?????

I sometimes wonder if hiring a lawyer would have been the way to go...? Anyhow, my congressman's office didn't get me anywhere, so I'm moving on to my senator's office - hopefully will get somewhere from there. If not, i've already got an InfoPass scheduled, and i'm ready to call in with a service request when my case hits the 6 month mark. No way in hell can they make us wait just 12 months for an approval. I'm absolutely livid. Wish I had gone to law school... would have then known how to deal with these uscis monkeys!

I received the exact same letter from Senator Bob Casey's office last week.

BUT.. my immigration lawyer is very very confident that the USCIS is still on track with the 6 month processing time. Like I said before... I'd believe him if I didn't know about VJ. He told me to hang in there.... Ughhh like I have a choice
