members reported getting approvals message all day long, no specific time! not like the transfers!!!!

The CSC seems to be holding of sending out approvals until the end of the day. TSC and NSC are reporting as they get approved. At least this is what we have seen.

No, it's happening every day. Remember a standard application only takes about 15 minutes to adjudicate! They should be doing about 1300/day if they get back to their rate when they were receiving I-130s directly.

Hope today will be the day for you :-)

Good luck.

It takes 1.5 months for the magical elves at NVC to give you a CASE NUMBER and a INVOICE ID ( I promise to not use any more fairy tale references biggrin.png)

You could be done sooner.

YOU are supposed to start calling two times a week after TWO WEEKS after your approval.

Proactive is the keyword with them.

you know darn well you will use "elves" again...im waiting for it..and calling you on it! hahahahahah

Good morning to all my dear friends.

LOL, I am always laughing!..... especially now as I wait 222 mins to speak to a tier 2 to change her address to the UK one (you cant do this on line)

Does anyone know if the callback service works for international numbers?

USCIS only sends both approved petitions to the NVC.

They will not close it for you unless you yank it (which I hope you don't do).

The NVC will close the i129F because the K3 is obsolete.

The i-130 will live.

On February 19, 2014, we transferred your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, to your local USCIS Office for further processing. The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. This is the 2nd email.

Please I need some help, my lawyer says and I am quoting as follow:

The notice that came today says that they are transferring the file to the local office, rather than to one of the other Service Centers. Unfortunately that means that the transfer might not result an adjudication as quickly as we had hoped. We will have to give it a bit more time and see. My question in your experience is it true?

Thanks,

Its misleading.

You'll get two others which won't really provide any helpful information.

Just wait for the hard copy (that's all that matters)
