I-130 no response

[Darnell 8,478]

You should have gotten 2 notices... the first one says the department has recieved your file and it will be sent to the particular field office. Then you should get another notice from the Field office that says we have recieved your file and the case number is this and your priority date. When you enter your number in the USCIS case it should pull up your case file unless you are entering the case number incorrectly. put the whole number in there I think it use to start with WAC...... it should say "in process" or something like that.

Actually, notices about transfer to local office are not issued.

I-130 routings Changed on 15 AUG 2012.

Now routes like this:

Lockbox->MSC->local office.

OP is at San Antonio local office - and San Antonio is lagged.

Well I'm a March filer as well and I know where my file is because various senators and a representative have checked. Apparently when the file is MSC, it is sent to the National Benefits Center and then after it sits on a shelf and waits its turn, it is given to a caseworker and/or shipped to the nearest field office. I'm just waiting for mine to be shipped to the Portland field office. This seems to be the process. Very few forms are actually processed and approved at the NBC. They give different processing times to different people, so I wouldn't depend so much on what they say, but I'd follow the igors list here on VJ to keep an eye on everything. Hope it works out for all of us sooner than later.

I fillied my I-130 on March 1, 2013 and haven't heard anything yet. eventhough status is not showing either. Really worried how long they gonna take. and what is igors list ???????

If you aren't seeing or hearing anything and you don't have time to wait on a Tier 2 Rep, then I'd suggest having your senator or representative obtain status for you. They can normally at least find out where the file is and what's happening with it, although that's about the limit of their powers.

I'm sorry! I can't seem to find the edit button, but here is a link to the igors list!
