April 2013 I-130 Filers

[LoveMyTico 999]

lovemytico, have you also run out of patience? Seriously! I'm strung out and pissed off at TSC! Aaaaarrrggghhh! And it sucks not knowing what made the case officer send my file up to "problem resolution", whatever that is. I was so close! In their hands!

I've run out of everything at this point. I am so stressed out. I'm sure my husband thinks I'm a wack-a-doodle.

It pisses me off that TSC won't even answer the inquiries. They want us to call the ####### service number who are probably instructed NOT to do any service requests.

I want my K-3 to be approved. It will save me the 2 months at NVC.

I'm 100 percent sure they are not approving k3's if there is a I-130 in the pipeline......I wonder if TSC know how much they are despised right now

Hi guys

We got this message today:

On January 16, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

Does this mean the case is sent to the NVC? Which number should I call? Do NVC and DOS have different numbers?

I got the same message on 12/12 but my case was only recieved at the NVC on 1/7. Still waiting for a case #. Hopefully yours will go faster.

someone on this thread ( I think Jilly ...) said her K-3 made it to the embassy... I told her to take it ! It willsave her the whole NVC process and at this point, WHO CARES ABOUT HAVING TO ADJUST???? The file only goes to the NVC for a case number and then shipped right out to the embassy. The Embassy takes care of the rest. You get your interview faster... We have to file a waiver, so it doesn't matter which one we follow, they will tell us the same thing at the emabssy. So if I can save myself the dreaded NVC , I'll take it

August filers are crying because they haven't started getting transferred. Well, I wonder why they want to be transferred to a service center that isn't doing anything???

My k3 application was sent as soon as I got my NOA1 for my 130...they have had it all this time and done nothing with it. I would also be fine with the extra steps and $$$ just to be together with my family.

If I were you , I'd go online and make a service request. The processing time for K-3s is 5 months. The service request will go through and it will bring attention to your cases.

go for it

Agreed. We sent the k3 as soon as we received the I-797 for the 130, 29th June. So we're well past the 5 months approval time for a k3. Our k3 has been transferred to TSC along with the 130. We would gladly go the k3 route, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY! But it seems that's not likely to happen. I guess we should call them and ask about it.

Well am here to inform every that we have gone pass the 60 days yestetday and still our case still stand at initial review,then we can uscis a tier 1 told us that we have to still wait for another 3 months to make our petition one year b4 uscis can call Nebraska center to ask them what is going in with our petition,then we ask to speak with a tier 2 and they told us to speak to a tire 2 we have to be put on hold for another 108 minutes,well wait another 3 months, after 60 days, may after three months what's next.....simply speechless and depress and confuess,the only thing hold me together is my wife second trip next month is what is holding me together right now,lord help us all from this dark turnel of uscis and bring us light at the end of it all

[peace of my mind 12]

Waiting for my petition to complete one year by April is not the issue, but the issue is how sure re we that am going to get an approval by then, bcos at first it was six months, then extra 60 days to be nine months, now another 3 months so that it will b one year,right now,dont know how to plan my life,bcos if am going to be planing for a short time plans or long one,bcos with this delay if I choose to do a long time plan and get approve right now,intend to lose a lot of money,and if I choose to take up a short time plan, I will b losing a lot of money too for not doing much busiess,i wish someone can understand the problem uscis is causing me right now,...mmmmmmmm

[peace of my mind 12]

Well losing money is not my main concern right now,not even know what to do is even more depressing right now,my wife is completely emotionaly down,and am very happy for her to keep it strong for me,she is so understanding right now and she is a strong force that is holding me down,right now,the only thing that is realy make me keep my head up is my wife and thank God we were to put our resources together for her to make this second trip in just a short time,she dersevred and we deserved it

go online and submit a e-request so they can't say no when you call. You get an email confirmation with a number.

You have a letter stating 60 days .... take that to your Senator's office and tellt hem you want to expedite your file due to being told a certain timeframe.

why didn't you take the call back option? It is one thing about the USCIS that actually works. The best way to get transferred to a tier 2 operator is to act super confused.
