sosorry to hear that we were told that it would be approximately 6-12 months approval,so were still good..and our lawyer informed us that theres slowness of approval with uscis at this time but their starting to "clean house"have you wrote your husband's congressman or senator to inquire about your application?

We don't receive any letter from USCIS if our application was transferred to local office in Atlanta since my husband is from Atlanta. We tried to send a letter to the state senator and hope to hear from them soon because we already sent them the Privacy Act Release Form to authorize them to check the status of our application. We are assigned to one person whom we can contact with.

How did you know that your papers was transferred from NBC to Reno field office. We are Dec.2012 filers and we are still on INITIAL REVIEW and we don't know where our papers go.

You're currently waiting for your I-130 petition to be approved, not the CR-1. The CR-1 is the visa application you do after the approval of your I-130 petition. Just a small clarification, so you know what you're looking at in the statistical data.

You can see the average wait times here: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/irstats.php?cfl=

And you can track other folks' timelines here: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=2&visa=3&scenter=1&option=2&sortby=2

If you complete your own timeline, you'll get a prediction of when you might get a petition approval: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=166772

Wow! I filed my i130's for my Filipina wife and her daughter in July. Around the 28th. Got the i130 back for my wife fairly quickly, but they had the wrong birthdate (off by one day that I put wrong on the application). So I called them and they supposedly corrected it. Never received any notice that they did actually correct the problem. THEN I noticed they mispelled my street name (which WAS correct on my application. So I called back the beginning of August and this time they made me wait on hold almost 45 minutes to speak to a tier 2 officer. I guess Vermont service center is processing the i130's. The lady seemed competent. But when I asked her about if they had correct my my wifes Bday, she said no. She didn't see it. Then I noticed another mistake they have made....they used my wifes maiden name as her daughters last name, when in actuality she has her fathers last name on her birth cert and the i130 I filled out for her daughter. They gave me the MSC# for my wifes daughters i130 and they said they'd be sending it. I've never gotten it yet. But I did get a notice saying that the type of service that was requested when I called on 8/15/13 was to correct my street name that they screwed up. It doesn't reflect that my wifes Bday has been changed to the right date. And at the bottom, it says, we will notify you "IF" we were able to change the address. What the heck? So I still have to wait and see "IF" they can actually change my address street name that they messed up?

I looked at the links you posted. And thanks by the way. So according to the time frames I see up there, for the Philippines it looks like 212 days from i130 application to NOA2 delivery. Then another 120 days to the interview? So thats a total of 11 months? Really? Am I figuring that out correctly?

I was wondering if there is any way we can have the process expedited at every step of the way. And is there a process for that? What are considered valid reasons to expedite? Could I say financial hardship that I have to basically run two households and support her, her daughter, her mom and sister who also has a daughter. None of them work. And it's putting a "decent" burden on my income, but it's doable. But.....it would sure make things easier if I could get my wife and her daughter here, because I'm just wasting money for them over there when I've got everything they need here. I had to basically build them a house and get them out of the squatters area.

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

That is incredibly fast for an i130. Please update your timeline as it helps others with dates.

I mean I got my NOA1notice for my wife's i130 filing within about 10 days. I filed around the end of July for me & my new step daughter, but only got the NOA1 notice for my wife. Still waiting on the NOA1 notice for my stepdaughter. They have me the MSC number for my step daughters NOA1 notice, have not gotten the actual notice in the mail.

according to the letter that we received from the Congressman office here are the reason that they can only expedite the process:

-Severe Financial loss to an individual or company

-Extreme emergent or humanitarian situation

-Military Readiness or other national interest situation

-USCIS error or other compelling interest of uscis

hope this will help
