[takingtoolong 10]

My 1-130 got approved! My husband received a text message but nothing from email yet. I checked the website and yet i got approved this is one of my best mornings! I was totally surprised, was just praying for it last night and i had no idea it would come today. Sooo happy!

Hang in there guys. PD April 1,transferred to Nebraska Nov15!

Can anyone post a link to nvc steps? Im totally clueless now... GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

Congratulations!! You will see that others have pointed you to information about what happens from here on out.

However, please do fill in your timeline so that it will help us keep track of what is happening. Thanks!!

So, I decided to check my status on the USCIS wedsite last night. I was not able to log in. Apparently my password was reset by someone. Its only been a couple weeks since I logged in. So this morning I changed my password AGAIN and checked my status. It used to have NOV 27th as the last touch but when I looked this morning, it said Dec 3rd for my I-130 and Dec 2nd for my K-3. I'm not getting too excited because it was probably just someone scanning us in at the TSC since we were transferred on Nov 27th. I just thought it was weird that I couldn't log in. This happens to me alot. Does anyone else have this problem and how often have you had to change your password? if at all?

Good Luck to the filers who are still not APPROVED. THANKS USCIS for making our Christmas a happy one !!

Yes, I also had to reset my password at least 4 or 5 times in the last 9 months. I wasn't sure what the deal was with that. But it was very annoying. I think it was also when I hadn't logged in for awhile.

I've been praying for your approval. I had such a strong feeling you were going to get it before Christmas. It could still happen. Besides we need you guys over in the NVC thread.

Oh PS: The Jefferson's! LOL Wasn't it on right afer All in the Family? Maybe on a Sunday night? Showing my age too!

I join every in thanking God for ur approvals,its a wonderful feeling,at less to know that this process is alive, am April 4 pd and my petition was sent to Nebraska center since 15 if November and ask to wait 60 days and we re have gone past 36 days out of the 60 days we re asked to wait for response,i feel so sorry for my wife and I God for her level of strength at this point, I want enjoy my holiday with or without an approval from uscis bcos right now, there is nothing we can do than just pray and wait and hang onto faith that we all re going to go through one day,one love

[peace of my mind 12]

Well I heard and read about this process being a previlege,that why did u Marty in your country,nobody stops you from moving to your own spouse country and all that,but I belive anything what doing is what doing well,weither you choose to do it or not,i also of the belive that weither previlege or not this process deserved better than what uscis is doing,for God sake families re suffering alot,my plans re right now in a dark bcos I did t predict this long,i know the process will take long,but not as long as taken up till this time waiting for my NOA 2, like I said January 4th makes it 9months,one love

That's not a system glitch or error. They are stating that they processed 1 days worth of petitions in a month. Because of that processing date, no one who filed after that can ask for a service request, help from the Ombudsman, or help from their representatives. They know well what they are doing. This is the second time in the past 4 months they're trying this tactic.

Wow .... if thats the case then this is ry wrong on their part. Every month I wait very anxiously around that time to look for updates but if this is what they are doing then I am speechless. Now the letter I received after transfer to CSV states that I should receive a response within 60 days. Does that 60 days even mean anything? I am almost close to 30 day mark .... well 25 to be exact. Which means I should hear something by January.

I got a RFE just a few minutes ago. My petition was transferred to the TSC back in November.

I hope it's something quick and easy. I hope the rest of you have better luck

Same thing for me. transferred on 11-18 to TSC and a RFE on 12-18. I have 2 of the I-130's and a I-129f. So far just the one notice of an RFE on the stepsons petition. Anyone else have multiple petitions with an RFE on only one?

While I agree.... RFE's SUCK I am thankful to see movement from TSC. and on a Saturday.

I really thought something good was going to happen this week. Now, I am hoping somebody will be working on Monday. I am sure the USCIS is open because Tuesday and Wednesday are the "Official" days off. Maybe there are a few employees who already used up their PTO and are coming in just to provide coverage. The Embassy in Costa Rica is open on Monday, Thursday and Friday... so why can't they?

Feeling hopeless

I just wanted to ask people here if they received any email/txt update from USCIS a week after receiving the actual physical letter of transfer to any of the service centers. I received two email one on 25th and then on 26th Nov that my case is being transferred. It was not until 28th or 29th when I actually saw the letter in mail that my case was transferred to CSV. After that on 2nd December I got following update via txt/email:

**************************************

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN


Your Case Status: Initial Review


The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

*****************************************

​Does this mean that someone is actually working in my files/cases or is this one of those generic email? Anyone else received these emails a week after receiving the physical letter in mail? Any progress after that update?

Thank you.

Just found out we were transferred to Texas Service Center. Not what we had hoped for, but let's see what happens.

Sorry to say it's just a generic email. I think we all got that one after being transferred. It took about another month after that. Good luck!

Thank you. I was really hoping to hear something before Christmas or now before New Year. Well I am still hopeful. If they are working next week or the week after then perhaps I might hear something good.
