it has been 6 months since we filed

[LoveMyTico 999]

I can only assume it is because they are training all the new adjudicators for the Kansas service center. They are supposed to start processing cases by the end of the fiscal year.... I don't believe they include the I-130s filed by USC's though. WHO FRIGGIN KNOWS?

I am in the same boat as everyone else...I did try calling USCIS today and level 1 told me that the call back option isn't being used anymore, and that I should call back in half an hour to talk with Tier 2 because they have closed their lines for us to speak with them...I've waited 6 long months since filing, and the worst part is not knowing when to expect anything. I did contact my senator's office who had his staff forward me the letter she received saying that they are processing Standalone I-130 petitions in about 12 months...now who knows if this is true, or if this is what they are telling us to stop calling and so they don't get in trouble...I agree with everyone that they are rude, and it's a rarity to find a person who is nice and/or shows interest. They don't seem to realize that this is in regards to our spouses and loved ones who we have to live without and that we would appreciate some knowledge on our cases. I've stopped really pursuing everything so heavily because I can't waste my energy anymore on careless people who are so quick to get us off of the phone. I'm going to try calling again because my "30 minutes" is up. My guess is that I'll be waiting, until past 6 and then they will leave to go home, while they still have people waiting on hold...we shall see......SMH

The processing times fluctuate in this process so much. If it's any consolation, I waited 9.5 months for my NOA2 and I was born and raised in Canada right on the border with the US, and I used to go over there all the time. Even back when you could enter without a passport.

Just be patient and your time will inevitably come.

Good luck! :-)

Hi Mina,

I just got a letter at home, mama mi rekla, but I am at work so I don't know if he has been approved or just more information needs to be sent. This whole process is amazingly confusing and scary in the sense that I don't want to mess something up and make it even longer.

find me on fb Almina Brkic...or I'll find you if you can't find me....we can console each other hahaha....

odakle si inace?

Our file was transferred from Nbc to Reno field

Office .

We r hoping to get approval in ths mnth aur nxt mnth hops so reno office dnt have much load likemy husband w

my husband went to atlanta for infopass he was told by the guy that he was talking to that he will approve our papers since he went all the way from alabama however the guy cannot find or files so he declared it as lost my husband wanted to cry when he heard this weve been waiting for like 9 months and no one is looking in our papers and they lost it. He gave my husband an envelope with his name on it and told my husband to mail him directly our marriage certificate and 2x2 pictures. My husband ask him if he needed all our supporting documents and he said he don need it already.we dont know waht to do anymore

[pnjandmtc1209 9]

i suggest for all of you to go on infopass and demand to see your files coz they might have lost it just like what happened to our files..we contacted my senator.congressman,tier 2..and i was informed the same thing that our papers is in review and they cannot provide us estimate time when it will be approve only to find out when i did my info pass that no one is looking into it and worst of all they've lost it.its been 9 month can you imagine that 9 months and weve been waiting for nothing. i just wish this wont happen to anybody but i suggest you do an infopass

That's a sad thing to hear. But if ever that case happens? do we need to go back to the starting line?

in our case the guy that i have spoken to in atlanta..his quiet nice and told me that he take responsibility he gave me an envelope with his name on it and office address he just said that to mail him our copies of our application ang marriage certificate and 2x2 photo. I ask him if we need to mail him supporting document like pictures,chats,letters etc and he said he dont need it.he said after he receive our mail he will adjudicate our case right away.
