July 2013 I-130 Filers

[krissaliyah 0]

Is it normal that my daughter's case is in post activity status while im still in initial review?!

Hi,

I am from Ahmedabad (August filer)

Ques: 01 I am really surprised how was your case transferred with lot many June people still pending???

Really surprised.

Any other confounding factor?????

Ques: 02 Just in case you know how many July people have been transferred ? (Non Philli and Non Expedite)

Sorry, no confounding factors in my case. I was surprised and until I get physical copy stating a transfer and location, I will continue to doubt it got transferred lol. I only got 2 emails, one transferred to another office, 2nd transferred to local office. Didn't get the other "now being processed at an office' one. Wonder if any other 12/9/13 transferees got 3rd email?

There were several cases around my case number that got transferred but I can't say how many were transferred the same day.

Good luck. Praying for everyone to get speedier approvals.

Yes it does happen but it shouldn't take them long to approve your petition barring any unforseen RFE.

They will likely hold your daughter's case and wait for yours to be approved and they will send them together to the NVC,

Oh, how I would love to receive good news! We're both so disheartened living alone and apart, just like the rest of you I'm sure.

Even hearing about a few transfers and approvals in our month's timeline is lifting me a little, but I refuse to allow myself to get excited as we could still be stuck with the VJ 'anticipated' approval date of March/April that I currently find on my timeline.

May the transfers and approvals come soon!!!

Supplemental letter

I bolded the sentence about 60 days because basically it's saying I should now be receiving a decision notification within 60 days...

RFE means Request for Evidence. People get an RFE because their petition is missing a document, needs additional supporting documents etc...
