In case you guys haven't stumbled upon this yet...

It seems that they are finally taking some actions. As of 10/21 they began transferring I-130 files from NBC to other service centers because of the workload.

Hopefully we can see some approvals soon!

Thanks! But yes, we've seen it already.. whole VJ has been buzzing about it since yesterday :)

Here's to hoping for a speedup in processing.

They have started with February petitions. We don't know if OverlandParkers will go to...

Besides, people have been getting USCIS notifications of being transferred to local offices... not service centers.

I'm assuming they're still there.

We don't even know if that workload shift with include us as well? or just NBC/Missouri? I'm guessing it's the latter.

SIGH.

Yeah maybe just missouri.. And if thats the case, then they will just have to deal solely with overland cases and speed up this waiting process. *positive thinking*

Oh. My. Gosh. Some people are just on my last nerve today!

There is this one girl on another forum who filed in June and just recently got approved. I keep asking her to check her NOA1, if it came from OP, but she seems confused what I'm talking about. Ugh.

Also, yet another forum, I keep getting f'ing yelled at. For daring (sic!) to say there is a backlog and local offices suck. Really?! Gosh. Not going there anymore. If they want to be in denial, so be it. I will sniff for more info about OP and other things somewhere else. Whatever.

And, if I hear one more time, that VJ sucks, I will scream. At least we have super nice people here! :)
