NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY TO THEM OR OFFICERS OR WHO EVER YOU TALK TO IT SEEMS WORTHLESS ALL THEY HAVE TO SAY IS "YOUR CASE IS STILL UNDER PROCESSING TIME"

Caps lock = yelling.

[Gee&Cee 41]

Hi there. If you haven't seen this thread, have a look!

"IR1/CR1 Backlog makes the NY Times"

http://www.visajourn...s-the-ny-times/

It is a nice article. You may want to share it with friends, family. Sukie suggested writing to the author!

(Sorry if it's cross posting. Just want to get the world out. This is a good opportunity to generate momentum with the media)

[DvMan 49]

I had the exact same response from TSC for my service requests

[oklai125 4]

I don't even believe it yet, but I just woke up to an email and text that we've been APPROVED!!!!!!

"On February 9, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN."

My hands were shaking so much that I could hardly type! Hang in there everyone! I was starting to feel like it would never happen, but soon enough everyone here will get their reply! This is such an incredible feeling and calling to surprise my husband with the news was amazing!

Priority date: May 3, 2013

Transfer to NSC: December 4,2013

Approved: February 9, 2014

We didn't have an expedite, consular filing, etc. Just a regular application! One step closer to getting our life back!!

Good luck everyone!

Congrats to all the recent approvals!

Anyone know why some get the notice that it's been sent to the State Department, and others (like us), the email just says it's been approved?
