April 2013 I-130 Filers

[oohpartiv 484]

I have been checking my status everyday on the USCIS website. and when I checked today my status was updated and it says...

On June 5, 2013, your address was changed relating to the I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN that you filed. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

My case is still under initial review. and I never requested to change our address after we filed I-130.

I am so confused and worried. Does anyone know what does it mean?

This status has shown up for a lot of people who were approved within the days following the change. Keep your eyes on your status updates! I'd bet there's an NOA2 in your near future.

NBC processes cases in 60 - 90 days. They usually just sort through the cases and send them out to their respective field offices.

It was my understanding that NBC is kind of a middle man.... I was told that VSC is so busy, the NBC is helping with the case load. So, I was wondering if the VSC is still processing cases.... and is the 60-90 day turn around for real at the NBC? and is the estimated processing time at the bottom of our timelines close to being accurate? Just wondering....

NBC pretty much is the middle man. The thing is, they get to most cases within 60 - 90 days, which is why cases filed abroad usually get their approvals around that time, and domestic cases get transferred to local offices at that time. Since August 15th, 2012, all standalone I-130 cases are sent to NBC, so no, neither CSC or VSC are actively processing new IR-1/CR-1s. The estimated time here on VJ I think was more applicable when the cases got sent to service centers, but now that there are so many local offices that process the petitions, it's harder to have an accurate estimate.

Any updates from anyone (non-DCF peeps?)

I checked my online status, and they haven't even looked at our petition since NOA1...does that mean it hasn't even been transferred to a local office yet? Thought it would have been transferred at least, seeing as it's been nearly 2 months? Any one got any experience/info? Thanks

I called on Tuesday and spoke to a Tier 2 rep. and sadly he said the files are still at NBC

Normally it takes around 3 months, so 1 more month of waiting

Hi April filers. I am a March filer here. I was just seeing how the April group was doing as us March filers are still waiting waiting waiting. Anyways I see some of you are asking about processing times. Here is a link http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=2&visa=3&scenter=4&option=3&sortby=2 where you can find the current status of all members who have filled out their timeline correctly. You can search by service center if you wish. The link above will take you to the NBC as that is what I have it set to. You can see each month how many people have been approved and still waiting.

Good luck and happy waiting.
