[yayita_ 2]

Spoke with congressman's office today all to find out the same thing I already knew-"oooh they working on Feb cases".

4 days away until our 60 days are up for our transfer notice which is January 21! On the 22nd I'll be calling them asking them if they have my petition done yet! Whatever answer I get I'll say ok , hang up, 5 minutes later Im calling again! You got my petition finished yet? 5 minutes later, I'm calling again you have my petition finished yet? ALL DAY LONG EVERY DAY AND I WILL NOT STOP I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY THINK WHAT THEY SAY OUR WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DO! THEY'LL GONNA WISH THEY NEVER HAVE MET SUCH A ONE AS ME....

Hahahaha it's good to know I'm not the only one that was thinking of doing that! Lol

Huh??? I thought all I-130s go to the same place and are thrown into the same line? Or is it different depending on the relative being petitioned for? Where did you read that? So dumb...

They are supposed to be, but they are not now so that USCIS can fudge their numbers to get the "AVERAGE" processing time down to the 5 months they said they would. Really its all Bull...

Yes please do vote on this site and leave your comments. I totally agree that it's better to complaint somewhere where there is chance that our voices might be heard.

Hi All - just got my approval notice through now! Huzzah! It's Sunday morning here in Australia so I really wasn't expecting it as I would be surprised if they were working on a Saturday?! Anyway, my PD is June 7 and we were transferred to TSC on Dec 12. On to the next stage now. Good luck to all those still waiting, I hope you get your approvals soon!

Lets see what next week brings us helpfully some approvals....I see movement in march and April and june some ... so lets see whats happens uscis needs to hurry up

The USCIS handles millions of petitions and applications for this country each year--an honorable and needed task. Even the agency's most ardent critics will readily admit that the workers of this agency face a daunting and serious challenge in speedily and fairly adjudicating all of these application while at the same time protecting this country and its laws.

What no one understands is how the agency decides to prioritize the adjudication of this massive workload. That some petitions and applications will have to wait longer than others is a given; that the spouses, children and fiance(e)s of US citizens should have the longest wait times is a proposition more than a bit harder to understand. For the past two years, first thanks to the President's extra-Constitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and then for his also extra-Constitutional Provisional Waiver program, the immediate family members of US citizens have been made to bear the burden of increased USCIS Service Center workloads (all, it might be added, to the benefit of people who broke US immigration law to come here and have been retroactively given psuedo-status by Presidential executive order, without the express permission of the US Congress to do so). The first victims of these programs were I-129f filers for K-1 fiance(e) visas. The wait time for these petitions ballooned from 3-5 months to over a year in 2012, while DACA filers were granted speedy approvals (almost never refusals) in less than 5.

In January of 2013, the wheel turned and I-129f filers began to see 3 month processing windows. To compensate for this, and for the President's new Provisional Waiver program for unlawful immigrants filing from inside the US (not approved by the Congress of the United States of America), filers of I-130 petitions for US spouses and alien children (!) were simply stored and delayed for almost 10 months, until a backlog of over 400,000 of these petitions had accrued. The USCIS is now working to end this backlog, but this tremendous backlog has resulted in wait times in excess of 10 months for an I-130 petition, and this for a visa which must face two more lengthy steps, the National Visa Center step and the US embassy step, in addition to any additional administrative processing which results from a US visa interview, before it can be granted.

Asking the spouses and parents of aliens to wait for something approaching two years (or more, depending on the additional Administrative Processing the embassy in question decides to take) to see their loved ones while unlawful immigrants are quickly and efficiently granted permission to reside here and even legal status is unacceptable and, what's more, unlawful, since the Immigration and Naturalization Act mandates US authorities to give first priority to the immediate family members of US citizens. The USCIS must in the future give priority to the applications for legal entry to this country of the spouses, children and fiance(e)s of US citizens. The USCIS must dictate that each month it will adjudicate a certain percentage of US citizen relative and fiance(e) petitions, as this is the priority which the law demands these petitioners be given.

Thank you and God bless the United States of America.
