I-130 MARCH 2013 FILERS!! NBC

[LoveMyTico 999]

I didn't put in my esposo's BC because here on VJ it said it wasn't necessary. Now I'm all freaking worried we'll get an RFE for it. Ugh.

Since we filed from abroad it *shouldn't* get sent to a local office, but who freaking knows. *sigh*

I sent my esposo's because I had to have it translated anyway. It was old as dirt.. Its ready to turn into dust. LOL.

Go get it translated and hang on to it. Then if it is an REF... then you can send it right away. The NVC needs the original anyway with the translation. Send a copy for the RFE and you'll have the original for later.

let me know how much it costs to get things translated over there. The police cert needs to be translated too for the NVC. The Police cert doesn't take long to get but getting it translated could be a problem. My husband knows a high school teacher who can speak english fluently. I hope that will work.

Another September filer approved.

The July filer that was approved had no expedite, sent his to NBC and it got assigned to CSC.

*siiiiiiiiiigh*

@heytoot- if it's feasible I'd do it. Since this is taking basically double the amount of time I thought it would, I'm thinking of re-applying for residency in CR. I applied 1.5 years ago and still haven't been approved yet. But now that I'm married I'll probably get approved in a few months. Wondering if it's worth it. Freaking USCIS.

lucybelle yeah it is really taking a lot of time. My husband do need to process another visa for me to be in his home country but it doesn't take that long though. I just can't stand the distance anymore. I can't handle the anxiety it's causing.

Were you still single when you applied for CR residency? if you don't mind me asking.

NBC will normally wouldn't ask for BC.

Just talked to tier 2. She was good. She told me "since you are a March 11th filer, your case should be very very close to be assigned to an officer .."

That gave me some hope... Lets see what happens

[dilmera 124]

Just submitted a RFE at the local field office for the copy of Birth Certificate for my wife. I am not sure why they would ask for birth certificate for beneficiary (I-130 does not ask for one), maybe it was one of the required documents in the past?

Anyway, just got to give what they ask but nothing in return. Well, let's see what happens now.

If you got an RFE, you are just a step away from approval. If not for the RFE, you would have been approved by now. Congratulations for your soon-to-come approval.

Perhaps that July filer filed from abroad?

I thought CSC and VSC did not process I-130s, but these graphs tell a whole different story.

[Jp_Clariz 1]

I've edited My timeline today and this is what i saw "Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between August 3, 2013 and September 26, 2013*. Issss thisss normal?????????

[GoLdEnSkY99 54]

Are you sure that your file is sent to VSC and not NBC??

[mmkextreme1 4]

I talked to tier 2 a couple of days ago, not to mention she was really rude! She was like they will look into the situation and send me a later 12-14 days from now explaining what the situation is.

#######! People are being approved, even sending petitions afterwards (really happy for them), I thought it was a sequential thing

No he didn't file from abroad.

Oh my gosh that hurt my heart for real.

Yes I was. I applied with a sponsorship from my school where I work. But now that I'm married it should only take 4 months or so to get approved. Or if I wait until Jan '15 (two years after we married) I can apply for citizenship.

I translated all the documents on my own. For the most part USCIS is cool with that. Just having someone certify they are fluent in both languages and are capable of doing it. There's a form here on VJ somewhere.

If you want a certified translation it'll run you about $40/page.

I read somwhere that CR is not allowing dual citizenship... I don't think I would give up my USC status.. but thats me. Have you heard that?

I just had an infopass.

NBC sent my file to the local field office today. They just got it today and there were 233 files all together that they got from NBC.

She told me to come back and check on the status in 2 to 3 weeks.

There is a hope..
