PD April 4th, transferred to NSC November 15th.

I did an info pass on Tuesday, January 7th, and I was told that my file was transferred to the "examinations department" at NSC on December 31st. I hope that means that someone will now adjudicate it.

If anyone ever heard about the "examinations department" at NSC, please share with me what you know. Thanks.

Checking in to see how you all are holding up.. I look at the NOA2 approvals and I feel bad for all still waiting.. When we all filed in April the I-130 was taking 4-6 months except at certain major back logged local offices.. Now it's been 9 months.. There is no joke I can tell to ease the pain and it's not fair things are not completed in order.. Try to stay as positive as possible and I will pray for you all..

Finished for now!!

CSC approved me in 2 weeks as well, so I think that's their norm. I think the problem more in lies that NSC and TSC are NOT moving...which is ridiculous because if you got sent to any of the other offices other than CSC, your processing time is an additional 1 month +...

I sometimes wondered that as well, but I always reminded myself that this will all pay off in the end. After all this, we get to spend the rest of our lives with our spouses that we have waited so long to be reunited with again.

As my husband always says whenever I cry about this: this is just a small percent of our lives.

We cry about it now, but the sadness we currently feel will be just a distant memory this time next year.

Hang in there! We're all in this together.

Nebraska. Maybe the holidays and snow days had something to do with it. I don't know but I was starting to think it was lost. I was happy this morning to hear it was recieved I was calling twice a day like a stalker. Lol. I even calleduscis yesterday to ask if they actually shipped it.
