September 2013 I-130 Filers

Someone said ARN notifications seem to be happening where the petitioner is a naturalised US citizen. I don't know if that was debunked or not, but my husband is US-born and we haven't received an ARN update. The case 1 digit ahead of us has, however, and was transferred the same day as us, not that I know if that petitioner is naturalised or not, of course.

That isn't accurate. I was born in the US and got an ARN notice

I don't think that's the case because it's only happeninng at NSC... and they seem to favor one service center over another on transfer days.

Unless anyone in here who has received the ARN notice can attest they're naturalized USCs....?

Ah, ok. We're at NSC and haven't received any ARN notice yet, so thought maybe the hypothesis I presented had some credit to it, but I guess not

Hi guys

I received an ARN notice on 2/28/14 and was changed again today. They transferred me at CSC and I am a naturalized citizen.

I'm so confused because my PD is 9/6/14 and still nothing and furthermore was transferred since 2/25/14.

Nothing yet

[JBean2014 11]

Just got a MSG @ 9:45PM EST:

On March 21, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Best present for our anniversary!

Congratulations to all the new approvals! And I suspect we'll never figure out the mystery of the ARN change email. My guess is that when the system generates an alien registration number for the beneficiary, there's a box that they're supposed to check so that it doesn't generate an email. Most of the NSC staff don't know to check the box, and sometimes everyone forgets. It's as good a theory as any!

[Pepito1976 1]

Just got finally the message we been waiting for, I just got approved today 3/21/14 for my I-130.

Can an adm add it to the spreadsheet?

Thanks

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was in CSC for 23 days.

I've been studying the timelines. My observation leads me to think that if you're waiting a while for the NOA2, chances are your gonna get a RFE first. Any thoughts about this....

[msc13 282]

Unbelievable. We are just been approved at 10.00 pm from TSC. approved 21 March. PD 20th September.

My husband and I were Skyping when he screamed and went pale. We all ended up crying. I just want to hear that all our VJ friends are getting approvals

Now off to NVC

Yes in our case US citizenship was obtained by Neutralization and we have got the Change of ARN Status update...

But as @baime22 said, he is US Citizen by birth so this theory doesn't seem valid.

So many theories on Change of ARN ) we can write a paper on it now and who knows it gets approved and we get PHD Degree ;P

[TomCat214 8]
