June 2013 I-130 Filers (merged)

[corlitoa 6]

your wife was abroad or in the states

well the time when i filed and my file got transferred this was the only update that ever came before the approval one....transfer to local offices is always good...i got it in like 2 months...so good luck to rest

[corlitoa 6]

Does any one from June fillers has any update on their case???

[BOS_LHR 829]

It's still too early for most June filers to have any updates. Maybe in a month or so the filers from abroad doing DCF/getting auto-expedite will start getting good news

[corlitoa 6]

Im didn't do dcf I live in the us and my wife in santo domingo I file from here a stand alone i130 I herd that at the nbc msc is faster and maybe because it's a stand alone i130 it may be faster my file date is June 24 ...

I talked to a Tier 2 last week - I got on the call-back list instead of waiting on hold, and they called me back after 5(!) hours.

I asked if my case had been transferred to the local office, and they said no. She also said to expect an I-130 decision in 4-6 months.

Honestly, based on what I've seen here, that sounds about right, so my advice to my June colleagues - don't stress too much!

Thanks for the update! My NOA1 is a week after yours and I was considering giving USCIS a call next week to see if the petition was transferred yet, but maybe I'll hang on a little longer

I filed a stand alone i130 for mi wife I live in miami and my i130 got sent to a nbc I herd thats good and I was told because my wife lives in another country it will be most likely to be aproved in the nbc do you have some info on that

I think you misunderstood. The petitions being processed and approved at the NBC are the ones where the petitioner lives abroad with his/her spouse (the beneficiary). This is because the petitioner doesn't have a US zip code to base a field office assignment on. Because you're living in Miami, your petition will be forwarded from the NBC to the Miami office to be processed there.

Sure thing!

Sorry guys, I've been missing in action My husband left this week back for the US. I will visit him in 15 days <3

I still check our status every day. No changes. Oh well.

[Nona 1]

No problem Ivy, thanks for the update.

I think we all understand you had other things to do then being on VJ !

[Nodir 10]

hello guys!

Been 2 months, maybe 2-3 more months?

[Ivy. 113]

Maybe 3, I'm not optimistic for 4 months for anyone whose file will go to a local office.

How is everyone doing? I'm kinda depressed now hubby went home. :/

[mayb 1]

aw Ivy my heart goes out to you! Everyday I look at my husband and think how lucky we are to be together. We're both kind of struggling at the moment, both in jobs we hate but can't change, living with the in-laws ready to pull our hair out and my family and friends text me everyday how much they miss us and wish we could just hurry and move back. I just have to keep remind myself and my husband that we have our health and we are together.

we should all at least be a month into this thing by now, just need to stay patient!

[BOS_LHR 829]

7 weeks from today I'll be back with my husband, visiting in England. His last trip to see me in the US ended the first week of June and it feels like it's been forever already. The roller coaster that is USCIS hasn't been helping much. I saw another VJ member got a notice from USCIS that NBC is holding petitions because field offices are swamped, but I don't know if that means NBC will process them or if it'll just be that much longer before they're forwarded on. I hate that they can't provide reliable information as to where our petitions are and where they'll be adjudicated. This process would be much more bearable if there were any sort of transparency as to what happens after the I-130s leave our hands.
