March 2013 Filers

[LizLovesFlor 11]

Hey guys, I'm kinda discouraged. everyday I've been checking the receipt numbers after me to see if they have gotten their interview appointments and every single one has an interview except mine as of 04/30/13. It just worries me that they skipped us for some reason since everyone before and after us has one! I know it hasn't been that long since filing but it just bothers me that I'm the only one... It's been a month since my status changed to "testing and interview." Just praying that everything is ok... If only I could find out whether receipt numbers are assigned by receive date AND field office location... If they are assigning receipt numbers according to location then I'm worried... But if not then I'm ok with waiting however long it takes because I know the reason is that NY is "terribly" backed up according to USCIS Customer Service!

Ugh trying to keep busy and forget about all this !

Hello Liz,

I think this is where the variability of our local offices' loads kicks in. I was prepared for a long wait, because a member named Mabouby, wrote about his long wait time between his biometrics appointment and news about an interview date. I still am prepared to wait because the Denver office also services Wyoming.

If it's been a month since the testing and interview status change, perhaps it's time for a follow up?

I know you're local office is NYC, this office has a processing time of 6-7 months I think.

Once your status says "Testing and interview" just means that it got passed on from NBC to your local office, and your local office will schedule you for an interview date.

This all depends on how busy your local office is, I have seen people from NYC having to wait like 3 months for an interview date.... not trying to discourage you. But I do think because your local office is super busy, it's probably going to be a while.

I don't think they have forgotten about you!

Hang in there!

You should try going on trackitt.com and actually go here http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-trackers/i130-i485

You can track it by your local office and see peoples cases who are on the site.

That should give you an idea of the wait.

Awesome site! Unfortunately, it wants the I-130 visa type. What would that be from a VWP?

Hi, did you send in the " Form 1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance" ? If you didn't then you will have to wait until you get your Notice of Action in the mail.

Thanks Blue, I did call them today just to see what they would say.. They said NYC is backed up with appointment scheduling. So I feel better. Could it be that the other receipt numbers are from other cities? I guess so..

Thanks, Ally! Wow, cool site.. Yes, I've see other NYers out there waiting long too. Maybe I should forget about comparing case statuses. I just am super worried my hubby's previous application would effect his new one which makes me think that's why they are skipping me. Oh well, I'll just leave it in Gods hands.

For the trackitt website, your I-130 type would be IR-2 (Spouse of a US Citizen). If you scroll over the 'question mark' icon above the I-130 column, you will see all the various types.

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Not a problem though I apologize! I made a typo there. The type should be IR-1 not 2. Cheers!
