July 2013 I-130 Filers

[BOS_LHR 829]

Also when is the date of the updates? I thought it was the 15th?

They say their updates occur on the 15th, but in practice it's more of a general "mid-month" type of thing. Last month they didn't post until the 19th and we were all chomping at the bit.

I get what your saying but my gut says that come febuary everything will fall into place i dont know why it just seems like that by feb everything for july should clear up and than its augusts turn my pd is august 29 four months 17 days to be exact 139 days so im ok its this not knowing thats driving me crazy its hard but somethings gotta give i have kept in contact with my congressmen and their reps confirm august filers should be approved by latest april....the not knowing is whats making me ancy

Your so lucky with your congressman, most get the standard "wait 6 month" rubbish. And the one that covers our region in Iowa actually states on his site that he will ONLY do something if you are outside processing times....!

Just got transferred to the TSC !!!

Transfered to TSC.............Jan 6

NOA2 ...............................still waiting !!!!

I hate to break it to you but August filers will not be all approved by April.

Thats 8 months - which while realistic, will not apply to all cases.

There are already filers who have exceeded 9+ months - even with CSC (look at May and June).

What we know now based on the slow pace of July filers, August transfers most likely wont kickoff before February and wont complete before may ends.

disgrazia !!!

So petitions filed now are going directly to CSC TSC etc... so they need to transfer the remaining petitions asap then really.

Also when is the date of the updates? I thought it was the 15th?

For some reason, I was noting the date of updates since the time I turned in my i130.

Here it is-

as of duration posted on

june 30 8.4 08-20

july 30 9.4 09-17

aug 31 11.0 10-18

sept 30 7.4 11- 20

oct 30 8.7 12-19

nov 30 ???? expected soon

They were all for USC applying for Spouse at the National Benefits Center as my case stayed there until early this year where it got transferred to Nebraska

So they will miss their improvement targets by a mile. I think we will be at 8 months, they have to get better. But we just don't know and each case is different.

8 weeks !!! i thought it takes less than a month to get the case numbre !

so how long does it usually take for them to get case complete ??!

I think this is just them covering their behinds (once again)... From the resaerch Ive done, a month seems about right!
