BS or not, it's what the letter said...

We re-interpreted the instructions included for filing to mean that the copy needed to come from the registrar's office, so we are going to get a certified copy long form.

At this point, what else can you do - it's taken over 10 months to get anything at all.

Hey people, quit paying attention to the VJ statistics - at this point, it's useless and besides, there are many people not on VJ. I made up my mind yesterday not to worry about this immigration proce

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,

XM1329

Immigration Services Officer

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.

This is simply unacceptable :(

My prayers are with you.

Come on, TSC! It's Friday!

True. Lucybelle had a similar RFE where they said her copy wasn't certified. Which wasn't true. She sent back a copy showing that it was, in fact, certified. If I were you, I'd notify the Ombudsman that you got this RFE that seems to require something that the I130 instructions do not mention at all.

I just submitted ANOTHER ombudsman request for assistance. With all the false infomation flying around.. I told them I need to know what is going on and why has it been 10.5 months for an April filer when June, July and August are getting approved.

I think the extra background check is #######. I think they lost my files.


Today is Friday (Muslim Holly day)

I will pray for you during the Friday prayeer and I hope Allah will answer my prayers.

Thank You ! I appreciate your support !luv.gif
