September 2013 I-130 Filers

[bdrew612 1,071]

It's almost 7 months since I filed my petition and 1 month since it was transferred to NSC. 7 or 8 of the 12 petitions after mine have been worked on (RFE or Approval). I know NSC is working through a ton of cases and I'm trying to remain patient but I'm seriously bored of waiting. You can't help but feel your file is lost in the system when NSC is already approving 9/26+ PD petitions. I don't understand why it's so challenging for them to work through petitions more or less in PD order.

Do you remember when they started transferring and for some weird reason USCIS skipped an entire week? It looks like the same exact thing is happening with approvals. I really hope you get an approval this week or at least very very soon!!!!

Out of the 80 ish cases around me, I think about 70% are already approved or RFEd.

NSC is not only approving late September petitions but apparently just started with October files too.

My PD is 9/6 and today is exactly a month since my case was transferred.

I'm sad and scared.

Trying not to be but really frustrated. Why are we always skipped?! Checked cases around ours and there were approvals ranging from March 11-21 before and after us but there were still "Transferred" cases within 10 cases either side of ours. #######.

Sigh. I'm right there with you. Hoping I don't have a looming RFE or something. I'm wondering if me filing for the K1 before (i provided the approval notice as well as a page long explanation about why we abandoned the process and started over) delayed our case, but cases immediately around us are still in "transfer". UGH.

I feel for you guys, I really do Every morning I check in here to see if we have more approvals but it's been pretty quiet, I have everything crossed that approval is coming your way soon x

Absolutely ridiculous :/ It makes zero sense! I hope approvals some for you (and everyone else waiting) SOON!!!

Thanks darlin. Really doesn't help that hubby recently left too. Today is my Monday for feeling like #######.

I'm trying my best not to fall apart. I'm SUPER happy for my PD buddy, but I'm also wondering why I haven't heard anything yet. Sigh.

Honestly, if I knew that one employee who was in charge of the stack of files that included mine and those cases around mine that are still in "transfer" was just sitting on their butt while all those others before and after me are approved and have been for a few weeks by other employees ... I'd drive all the way to Cali and do this:

Thanks! I hope NSC picks up the rest of the 9/6-10 PD petitions real soon!

I know what you mean. Hang in there! Sooner or later, someone at NSC has to dust off our petitions and pick them up! By PD, you should be the first one through!
