I've been wondering if this would have a tangible effect on I-130 processing too, but it seems so far they've still been adjudicating the majority of their petitions within two weeks of receipt. A huge number of July cases have gone to California this month and they're absolutely charging through their approvals. It's pretty staggering. The performance of TSC and NSC by comparison is disgusting.

Guys I m stuck at CSC for a month now (June filer). I have no idea why I didn`t get approved within 2 weeks - just like everybody else who got transferred there.ranting33va.gif

Honestly I think it's worth calling Tier 2, just verify nothing out of the ordinary is going on. Have them verify that California received it, or email CSC directly to do so. June had 12 CSC transfers -- 9 are approved, 1 is waiting on an RFE, 1 has extenuating circumstances and has received another transfer. I believe your case is the only one that hasn't received any kind of action at all, and I think it's worth trying to draw their attention back to it.

Hello fellow VJers! I have been fortunate enough to spend the last few weeks with my husband after what seemed to be years apart. I was hoping the next time I would be posting on this forum would be in regards to my approval, as both my I-130 and I-129F were transferred to CSC on January 7th (I received the consecutive alerts on the 8th then 9th). However, on January 15th, I received an alert that my alien registration number had been changed and I have yet to receive anything further. I know that this indicates an approval/RFE is near so I am becoming more and more concerned. Any thoughts on what the hold up could be?

I know how you feel... Mine is 1 1/2 now at CSC. Was taking time off forums this week to cool my mind a bit and get over the BS I got from senator's office....they might as well work for USCIS. Maybe this week I will try to contact congressman and email or something. Keep me updated if you find something. At this point for me, it's in God's hands and it will happen when it's the right time for me...I will keep faith. I hope you hear something or see some movement.

OMG, I hope this doesn't happen our case, alien number was changed yesterday! I'm praying it means approval!

Sorry this is happening to you dude, I remembered the night you saw your transfer update. Your really should have been approved since you were transfered to CSC and among the first batch of July transfers.

wishing you what am wishing myself.

Yeah my heart was beating so fast when it got transferred dancin5hr.gif

I spent a lot of time being so upset, aggravated, sad, down etc...but now am accepting it. I mean I will still try to contact the local congressman office (senator was SO useless). At same time, I am thankful, truly thankful for what I do have. So many of you are separated from your spouse, I am fortunate to be with him. For me, it was different reasons to want it to get approved quickly. I still have ways to go after first step to get my GC by doing an adjustment status. For me, my mom was really not well and I just wanted to be able to travel to see her with GC in hand...and not knowing the what/when/how etc was really bringing me down. I thank God for making her health better so that I can have some peace while I wait it out with USCIS. God took care of my worries and will take care of this too in it's due time. I will keep faith. I can't wait to see my parents who I haven't in 4 years almost and who weren't there for my wedding....so it does make me sad...but I have more faith and thankful that I have a little more peace knowing mom is more stable.

In every situation, try to find the blessings and understand there is a lesson to be learnt or God knows best as to why we wait. If I look back, it's all worked out eventually in time. It's hard to remember that though when in the situation. Doesn't mean I will not keep trying...but I won't aggravate over it.
