Nov 2013 filers are now being sent to Service Centers. No longer to Overland. I am going to be seriously PISSED if Nov 13 filers start getting approvals within 2 months of their filing date!!!

And I bet you good money that it will happen!! It did summer 2012 with K1 filers. People that filed in Jun - Jul - Aug 2012 had to wait 6 to 8 months for approvals. Once USCIS started shifting the workload in Sep 2012... Sep - Oct - Nov 2012 filers where adjusticated in as lil as a month!

I so feel like that's what's gonna happen..but I'm praying we are all wrong!!it would really be too much seeing someone who filed in november(December,January..)2013 getting approved before us all..so so frustrating.. :(

Any updates for any Auguest filers. Does anyhave any idea how long it is going to take for noa1 to get approve.

Right now we have only seen a few approvals come from Services centers for Mar transfered filers. There has been no movement for any April filers as yet.. so there is still 5 months worth of I-130 petitions to get through before they even touch an Aug petition. Only DFC and expidites are getting approved out of NBC.

Lol same here! He's coming in the end of November and i just, ugh, well not 'can't stop' but there is some difficulty with that. :)

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

Yep, If I shop through United Airlines website, I get miles added to my reward membership.. Let me just tell you how many miles I have accumulated LOL I am obsessed with buying stuff for my husband and his family... I just fill a box no bigger than 62 linear inches and no more than 50 lbs and I can just pay $40 and it is my second checked bag on United. It sure beats paying $61 at the post office for only 10 lbs.

As a checked bag, I can pack cologne and liquids...I'm not limited in what I can pack. The USPS won't even let me send a small cologne internationally.

Also I found www.aliexpress.com I have sent things directly to Costa Rica for free. It trakes a really long time but sometimes I just can't carry everything in my bags... LOL

I am another Aug filer. Sometimes the info posted empowers the helpless feeling. I have been able to get over that. Just trying to ensure that I/we don't slow the process, or should I say the process to come.
