April 2013 I-130 Filers

[Kaylara 814]

They mean two weeks from the USCIS shipping the case out until the NVC gets it. Mileage may vary though. My case went from Nebraska. Other service centers are notorious for saying that they've shipped the case out to the NVC while actually holding on to it. I'd say if your case isn't at the NVC within 2 weeks, you start chasing down where your petition physically is. (I was actually on the cusp of this, and had starting the USCIS trying to find out where it was, then it showed up the next day at the NVC.)

Anyone know how long it's taking to get through the NVC these days?

It's like going to Disney World. Soon as your done with one ride, It's time to hurry up and get into the next line.

My heart and prayers goes to all April fillers that re still expecting their approval,honestly I know it s not easy,bcos I have being there too,i am April filler to transfered to Nebraska service center on the 15th of November 2013 and was finally approved on the 23rd of January 2014,so I have move to the NVC Stage,but thought it wise to come here and share words of hope,if I can get approve, defintly everyone will get approve,one love

Update from the trenches:

"On January 29, 2014, your name was updated relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance."

Thoughts? It's a little different than the normal number changes that it seems like most people get before their approvals/RFE's. Anyone else gotten this before? I'm taking the change to at least mean somebody touched or looked/looking at our documents.

So we hit the 9 month mark today and lord behold i get a text message while having my lunch, I almost threw my soda on my boss. Afterwards we all shared a laugh and a good cheers, of course with our soda glasses. Now another waiting game for NVC to process our case. Thank you everyone, your words of encouragement have kept me and my wife going.

Congratulations! What service center were you transferred to on 12/4? My PD is 5/1 and I was transferred to NSC on 12/5, so I'm encouraged that there are some late April approvals.
