Thanks !luv.gif

Its nearly impossible to be strong anymore. I wanna cry all the time. this system is so ####-backwards.

DVMAN is at the TSC. I was kind of hoping they would get to my files today since our dates are so similar and they held both of us up with "extra" processing..

Is anyone on the other threads getting approvals in the evenings? TSC is an hour behind us. I need all the hope I can get.ClockWatch2.gif

I can't hang out over on the other threads. It hurts too much...

Nope no sign of approval from any centres so far. Dunno what the hell they are playing at. Most likely approving August petitions. Urghhh makes me sick!

Zamsha, looks like we are holding the fort down !! Not quite what I was expecting when I filed so long ago. I just told my boss that I will be visiting my husband the last week in March. I had to explain the immigration process because his exact words were " Isn't it easy to get a greencard since you're already married?" I had to explain the whole DACA and illegal priority to him. He obviously didn't know there is so much to the process. That is why I hate mentioning the immigration thing to people because they just don't get it. Thank God for VJ.

Say a prayer for the leftover filers on this thread !! We need all we can get !

Same here explaining to my boss and others but they DONT GET IT. anyways in 2 weeks I am flying to see my wife

OK I am so tired of the mixed answers I get from the USCIS... a few minutes ago I get the following email to answer my service request for being out of normal processing times.

We have received your service request and researched the status of your cases.

Based on your inquiry we have reviewed the status of your case, Form I-130, MSC1390961343, and found that it remains under active examination under extended review and this has caused a delay in processing time. This office acknowledges the completion of your case being outside of the normal processing time and realizes the inconvenience it may cause. The delay has been necessary in order to ensure thorough processing of your case and provide you with the best possible service. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with a definitive timeframe at this point. USCIS will notify you if any further information is needed from you or when a decision has been made.

Based on your inquiry we have reviewed the status of your case, I-129F, MSC140108402, our system indicates that Texas Service Center (TSC) just received this file on February 10, 2014 from Missouri Service Center. Processing timeframe for I-129Fs once received by TSC is 5 months.

Thank you,

USCIS - Texas Service Center

now this is the email I received from the Senator's office on the 18th of Feb

Thank you for your Tuesday, February 18, 2014, email on behalf of your constituent, Ms. XXXXX XXXXX, regarding Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and I-129F Petition for Fiancée.

USCIS records show this case is in transit to the unit where it will be assign to an officer. The background checks have been resolved, therefore a decision or some type of action will be made within the next 30 business days.

I am leaning more towards believing the Senator's office due to Tier 1 & 2 being clueless. and this is the response I received after I questioned who is telling the truth.

I realize this is stressful but I trust the latest update from my liaison at the Texas Service Center. They are adjudicating both the I-130 and the I-129f per their correspondence to me. I have no reason to believe my liaison would not be telling the truth. In addition, customer service is not always able to see the full updates on pending cases; Congressional liaisons do have access to the full files though. In addition, when cases get held up due to security checks or requests for evidence, the processing times posted are no longer applicable.

Texas or Nebraska?

Nebraska!

Letter finally arrived today - stupidest error ever. Husband did not obtain proper copy of birth certificate, just photocopied it himself. It was so clear on the instructions..... we're both very angry with ourselves for overlooking it!!! Too many other things to check and double check.

So- ordering it online (since he was born out of current state) will take 25 business days!! Plus shipping time. WHAT. So he is going to drive there and do same day, in person service. Sigh. Something so small. :(

Fingers crossed for everyone else still waiting!

I keep checking in here to see if you and others are approved yet as my heart goes out to you and the pain you must be going through.

Have you tried emailing the scopsdata email (let me go find it). I also suggest emailing Neufeld, donald.w.neufeld@uscis.dhs.gov as I think he is assistant director of service operations for all centers. I know for me, next day I got approved. I know another person emailed for not getting their RFE and the runaround and emailed...they did get a response and RFE was sent. I hope you try. Just say in your email you have created multiple service requests and the responses are very confusing as to what's happening...that some say extended background checks going through, some say completed, some say with an office, some say will be resolved in X days...that you simply want to know what is going on and how much longer it will take. In brief, tell the confusion is being created and you do not know who and what to believe any more.

I am praying for all still waiting. I pray something happens for you and others really soon.

What do you mean by "photocopied himself"? You are supposed to send a photocopy per i130 instructions right? What are they looking for if not a photocopy?
