September 2013 I-130 Filers

Our RFE Response package was signed for at CSC today... Anyone know how long does it take for them from that point to start processing our case again?

The other 2 who had RFEs from CSC were approved about a week and half later.

Thanks! Fingers crossed ours will be done soon, too.

Yes, I put in a service request 3/28/14 and I contacted my congress and they are supposed to look into it. I also emailed TSC and they stated I have to wait the 15 days for the service request. This process is really sucking the life out of me. So glad I am going to see my hubby on May 16,2014. Any other suggestions anyone has I would greatly appreciate it.

Amen to that.

I'm so glad to hear you get to see your hubby!!! I so hope you have approval by then!!!!

Did the processing times change? I know they added a new feature to the processing times web site around that time.

Okay, so I'm a little ticked off. I just called the USCIS costumer service number and after waiting almost 2 hours to speak to a Tier 2 representative (couldn't use the call back feature because I'm calling from Mexico), the girl tried to tell me that we were NOT outside of the "normal" processing times because we were transferred to NSC 30 days ago and the timeframe for NSC is 5 months. What a load of #######! I told her, "so you mean to tell me that because our case was transferred 5 months after the original date, the timeframe starts over again?" She told me no, that's not how it works and that she still would not be able to process a service request for me. I really don't even feel like calling back and waiting another 2 hours to see if someone else will tell me something different.

Someone told me the same thing, but I did eventually get my service report in. If you want to be able to get a call back, use a Skype number, not too expensive and they can use it on the call back

So all you did was call back a second time and they made a service request with no problems?

I had to call another day because I'm in such an odd timezone they were already closed. The guy wasn't happy about it but he did it. Oh, you said you were in Mexico? Make sure you give them a us address, he said they can't do service requests for international addresses. I used my 'residential' address since I still legally live in the US, I'm just on holiday...for 13-14 months xD

That's interesting you say that about the address because when I first spoke with the Tier 1 rep, he said that he was able to do the service request but when it got time for me to give him the zip code, he said he couldn't because it was a Mexican address. Then, at the end of the conversation with the Tier 2 rep, she was trying to advise me that with a Mexican address, I might not receive anything in the future (ei. RFE). I was hesitant to give my U.S. address because I didn't want anything with our case to get messed up. When we originally filed the I-130, I didn't use my U.S. address at all because I wanted to show them that I am living with my spouse here in Mexico. :/

I put in different addresses for mailing and residential because I wanted to make sure they knew I was going to come back to the states. The main correspondence address is the attorney's though

Hmmm. I guess I don't even remember seeing an option to put a mailing and a residential address on the I-130. Oh well, I guess.

My wife mailed it from Florida on Saturday morning and they received it at CSC on Tuesday. They e-mailed us on Wednesday to confirm receipt and online case status was updated to RFE Response Review. Hopefully you'll hear from them today or tomorrow
