April 2013 I-130 Filers

[Steven.Plant 11]

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.

yea, pretty bad news mostly. I'm feeling very down today.

I was feeling pretty bad on Wednesday. I feel frustrated most days but Wednesday was worse. I had a talk with my husband. He agrees with me. He is mad that they take our money but drag their asses. He wants to know why he can't wait with me while they process the papers... The illegals get to stay ... UGHHHH

Hi, I am also April filer, and we are still waiting for the approval. I am wondering if it would be best to just request for our file to be transferred to our local field office. Would that help in speeding up the process?

if you can't get a straight answer from them when you call, what makes you think they will jump if you request a file transfer ? At this point, do you really want to pull your file from the que? Someone posted on the MAY thread that they heard the USCIS is working on petetions filed 6 months ago. Not that you can believe everything you read but do you really want to take a chance since you've been at the NBC so long? You don't know the stats of the field offices for the current year.

Just sayin'

I'm doubt a petitioner can just 'request' to have the file transferred. They have a procedure. So if this month they're forwarding - they're forwarding them all, if next month they're doing it in a centralized way (and the field offices are also notified they're not getting any more petitions) - probably, they won't send it over just for you.

You don't know the stats of the field offices for the current year.

You kind of do, just a little bit. If you look here and select your office. It's only up to June now and such but still, you know?

Wow.. If you look at it upside down then it tells you when your petition will be processed

It's been five months since NOA1 until now waiting for NOA2. No case progress heard from our lawyer in the states yet. Though he set timeline 5-6 months for the USCIS adjudication. Guess we'll hang for 1 more month otherwise we'll will start bugging our lawyer and the USCIS IO.

Keeping hopes up!

How about if we ask help from the Congressman or Senator. Can they assist us in transferring our file to the local field office?

Our local field office is at Anchorage and it seems that the number of applicants in this office is not that high. Just wondering if we can get a faster approval if our file will be sent there although yeah I am also worried that it might take us longer instead of faster.

VJ Members, I-130 for CR1 / IR 1.-- Fresno field office's statistics for Jan.2013 to June 2013 ( for 6 months period )

Application received----------: 4413.

Application completed-------: 2996.

Like this you can check for all the field office. All the field offices are working, may be some are slow due to less staff.

Just popping in to post and see my fancy ticker factory signature and if it worked lol. Love reading everyone's updates, I'm just trying to stay positive and naively hopeful at least we are 5 months in, le siiiiiiigh. The end must be near.

[canadianplum 20]

Damnit, not 5 months, only 4 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days. For me.
