I thought PD was "Priority Date". Or am I wrong?

No your right what was your date?

We got transferred to Texas. I note they are waay behind and we have a PD of July 16th. Interestingly, we received another text but not email to say there had been an update but the last "touched" date remains the same. We continue to wait in the meantime going to book another holiday to see my husband!

Was pretty sure that we'd signed up for e-notifications, so was borderline OCD checking for news of a transfer but nuthin'...

Lo 'n' behold, Wifey gets 2 envelopes on Saturday from USCIS informing us that our I-130 & I-129f were transferred on January 8 to CSC. Whoop whoop - happy dance

First time I feel really, really pissed about this whole damn thing.

Got 3 emails and one hardcopy letter, one undated, two dated Jan 2, and one dated Jan 3, telling me four messages: 1. my file has been transferred; 2. my file has been transferred to another office; 3. my file has been transferred to the Nebraska Service Center; 4. my file has been transferred to my local USCIS field office. Huh? So where's the damn file?

Meanwhile, October and November NOA2s are ahead of July NOA2s. I suppose I'm happy the approvals are ticking upwards, but jeeeesh.

Still no help from my local field office - 5 visits later. Their stock answer after 5 visits? Just wait, you need to wait, just wait. And if I raise a pointed question, like, "So what's the deal with the unstaffed/understaffed National Benefits Center in Overland Park?" - then they interrupt before I can finish and say, just wait, you need to wait, you don't know what you're talking about, just wait. That's after they told me prior to sending my I-130 to the Phoenix lockbox, 'Wow, this petition is well done. I wish all the petitions were this well done. You should get your NOA2 in 2-3 months'. Funny, every time I go there, and hear that line 'you should expect to get you NOA2 in x months' the x keeps growing so that it's always just a little more beyond my current waiting time, you know, like x is always about 2 months beyond the amount of time I've already waited at the time when I visit the damn office.

So, I visited my Senator's office yesterday. Spoke to senior staffer. Gosh, she was kind, because until her response, I didn't realize how stupid and boring I am, and that I know nothing about anything. It was good of her to let me know. I had assumed that with all my advanced degrees and everything, that I at least know when I'm getting hosed. I didn't realize how uninteresting it is for her to hear the tale of USCIS / Obama Admin abuse of power, putting us married US Citizens at the back of the immigration line so that they can pump the paper of DACA and Provisional Waivers through the system for their beloved new voters. Wasn't interested, didn't want to hear it. So, the prez flouts INA and Article I of our Constitution and screws us over, and when I ask whether she can help me, and what's the Senator going to do about this, how am I treated? Yawn. You're stupid. Take this form and Go Away.

Then we get treated to enlightened news hacks and other friends of the current administration telling us that opposition to legalizing people in huge numbers - without legislation from Congress - who came here illegally is racist.... Gee whiz, I wonder how many foreigners or their US Citizen spouses here on these forums are non-whites - and waiting longer, separated from their spouses because we were dumb enough to actually follow the law, and as a consequence, put at the back of the line. The real news story should be, putting people who followed the law at the back of the line is racist - because we're from every country under the sun. But no, that doesn't fit someone's political agenda, so the lie will continue. We're just racists. How does that feel, my friends from Africa, South America and Asia and your US Citizen spouses?

Bastards.

Hi guys,

We were transferred to CSC on Jan 8, 2013. Not sure how to edit this in my timeline. I do have a question though, I'm in Canada and I'm going to have a change of address in the next month or so. I've been out of the country for the last 3 months and not sure what all mail I've missed even though I did have a forwarding address. My husband received the transfer notice in Florida, but would USCIS be mailing me anything? Also, once its approved...does anyone know what the next steps are and how long approximately it takes to get an interview? Is the approval notice the NOA2 and does the US Citizen receive it?

Thank you...you guys are the only reason this process is somewhat tolerable.

USCIS doesn't send anything to the beneficiary.
