Just curious. Does anyone know if an expedited request is granted, is it all the way expedited thru to the interview? Or is it just for this i130 phase?

Congratulations to all of you who got approved happy for you guys :) i am new member to this forum

i applied my i 130 in June and my priority date is 10 June 2013 on (27-DEC-2013) i checked my case status changed on uscis.gov that it has been transferred to a local office and then after 3 days i received a hard copy stating that they were experiencing delays at National benefits center and has moved my case to Nebraska service center and if i do not get an update on my case in 60 days i should call on the given number

so any June filers here ???? or any one else who can guide me if its a good sign to have been transferred to a local office (nebraska service center)

any sort of advice would be highly appreciated

Hello and welcome to the group! I've added your information to the June transfer spreadsheet, where we keep track of which center each of our files has been moved to and how long we've all been waiting. Nebraska seems to be working on April filers at the moment, so there's a bit of a wait left ahead. If you get close to 60 days since being transferred and haven't received action from USCIS, you should contact them asking for an update: nscfollowup.nsc@uscis.dhs.gov.

Guys!

I've been pulling this site up and checking it occasionally but had not created an account yet (sorry).. until today!

I want to take this opportunity to give a little bit of hope to my fellow Texans! Or at least to my fellow TSC filers. I had been reading the posts about the NSC/TSC and beginning to despair, until today at 8:15 pm (CST) I checked my email and lo and behold, WE'VE BEEN APPROVED!!!

I am in the same time zone, and so this makes me think that our homeboys/girls are putting in the long hours to get our cases through. My utmost thanks goes out to all of them for their hard work during this heavy processing period.

Our PD is June 11th, 2013

We were transferred to the TSC from the NBC on Dec. 19th, 2013

Today (Jan. 13th) we received emailed notification of our approval!

My husband is a Mexican citizen and I am a U.S. Citizen. No expedite. No immigration lawyer following our case. No U.S. representative following up.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel! You'll be there soon. We are seeing movement for June filers with no expedites/extra help for the TSC!

We will keep praying for all of you with the same fervency and hope that you all receive good news soon. Hang in there, and see you on the other side soon. Now on to the next step!!!!!!

I recommend that all June fillers have all of our NVC documents together now, so whenever the ball is in our court we can immediately kick it out into the NVC's, so we don't even wait one single day that we don't have to, or that's within our power to avoid. Be ready for when they ask for the affidavit of support, etc.

All the best to all of you and God bless.
