April 2013 I-130 Filers

[LoveMyTico 999]

I doubt that is correct, since most of the I-130s are at NBC

yea, I know its nothing to live by... my comment was just about how its nice to see it go from January to April.. it just proves there is life at the USCIS.... You can't go by anything on VJ anymore since everyone is shipped to the NBC... and of course the USCIS doesn't post anything about processing times for the I-130's.

All, I received this nonsense a few min ago from a congressional inquiry:

From: NBC Congressional
Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 10:53 AM
To:
Subject: RE: Request for Assistance: ......

Good morning .....

A review of our systems shows that Case MSC xx xxx xxxxx, Form I-130 filed by ..... on behalf of ...... was received in our office on 04/03/2013 and is currently pending. At this time, the stand-alone Immediate Relative Form I-130 petitions are being sent to the NBC for transition to the local field office of jurisdiction for adjudication. Due to the current workload at the field offices, our current processing time for I-130 applications is approximately 9-12 months.

I hope this information is helpful.

Can someone explain this sentence "At this time, the stand-alone Immediate Relative Form I-130 petitions are being sent to the NBC for transition to the local field office of jurisdiction for adjudication" to me. The sentence is not clear. Does this mean NBC has started shipping I-130 back to local offices? I thought they stopped shipping the out.

I would love to know what they have been doing all summer long. Seriously. In three months it looks like 30 people have been processed. And no one here has posted anything about the application being moved this summer. If they are shipping them out still NO ONE has seen it happen in ages. Such bull .

I got the same exact letter.... only thing I can say is..... request it again in 30 days.... I was told by my congressional office that they would be happy to inquire every 30 days for me..... so I just got my second inquiry.... same ####### but its better than sitting around doing nothing....

my lawyer told me they WERE sending them to the field offices if there was a problem...

Lately, Nobody has received a letter stating they were transferred so its a completely BS stmt. its so annoying. They just say whatever they want to keep all of us at bay.

I wonder what this "Phillip Campbell" person does - I guess just sitting there and respond to congressional inquiries using the stupid template. How does she or he relate the requested info to where the I-130 file is actually located?

Another week has passed and have not hear nothing from USCIS. Some days are harder than others specially when I have no idea how long this could take.

[deltagal 5]

I think that is the hardest thing for me too. If I had a set date, I could make plans and count down the days. But this not having any indication that the waiting will ever come to an end is torturous!!

Hello everyone,

it's my first post here. I've been around for a while, only reading stuff though.

In the first place we hoped to have a final decision early in January, but here we are without any clue and our lives on hold. So I got to agree, it's the hardest thing not to have a date to look forward to.

The waiting is just an awful torture.

Hello everyone I applied april 10 and im still waiting for my Noa2.

[Sashy 17]

So question: my number starts with MSC...does that mean anything different? I heard some buzz about an MSC number in another topic.

That is the worst for me also.. Just let me know at least what month it will get processed.. Not knowing anything and always told wait wait and still in review is the worst ever

MSC just means what service center received your petition.. MSC is Missouri

Umm, there are statistics per each field office (example) in the USCIS site. In the next couple of days stats for July should become available.

Well today the VJ charts are more inline with what i had tracked before. So i think someone has worked on them (may have been working on them for a few days). Still no good information looking at CSC or VCS or TSC times anyway if the I-130's are sitting in a box at NBC now.

[LoveMyTico 999]

The USCIS could at the very least post I-130 processing information for the NBC. I understand the files going to the NBC is not the Norm, but seriously? We just want to know what the time frame is. I think they keep us in the dark so they don't have to answer to anyone when they don't hit their goals. A 5 month goal is a joke. They lost their credibility. They tell lie upon lie. Every single tier 2 person gives a different answer. What is the real truth? I don't even bother calling the USCIS anymore. It just makes me more upset

It seems like everyone is on edge this week. I try and read Feb, March, April and May threads. This week has been particularly hard.on everyone.
