October 2013 I-130 Filers

[nightingalejules 678]

So, questions for all of us October filers at the beginning of the month, who got sent to NBC rather than one of the other service centers. It looks like they've transferred almost half of August, so it's pretty much time that they should be setting up a transfer spreadsheet for September... and then we're next!

First Question: Do you think there's any chance that they're still thinking that Overland Park will be ready to process us by (say) late March/Early April? Because if not...

Second Question: Should we start thinking about what we want our transfer spreadsheet to look like? Previous to August, no one's names would be added to the spreadsheet until they'd actually been transferred. But August filers pre-filled out the spreadsheet with their names and PDs long before any transfers happenned, so that they could sort of "follow along" and see if the people with PDs near theirs had been transferred yet. So...

Third Question: Which of these formats should we use? Or are there other ideas?

It would be great to create spreadsheet for NBC transfers. But keep in mind that not all October filers' i130s went to NBC. Some of us, like me, had files gone to service centres directly. Mine is at vermont.

Yes, I know... about halfway through October they started directly routing i130s to the other service centres. I'd suggest that we need a column for initial location as well as transfer location, if we're all going to sign up for the spreadsheet - those who are at NBC and thus expecting transfers and those who are already at Service Centres and are thus probably not expecting a transfer. We don't know though, they may start re-transferring... it's a mystery.

I've been watching the August spreadsheet, and it's pretty neat to see it all getting filled in as people get transferred and approved. And I imagine it would be pretty exciting to see the tide of transfers getting closer and closer to your name!

Do we have any techie people in our month who could take on the task of making and keeping up with the spreadsheet?

I hope our time is coming soon!

While transfers are going in order, approvals are still completely random process. Check out Igor's list.Some August files are getting approved, while some poeple from May-July are still waiting for approvals. I sense that backlog is getting cleared with all these fast transfers though. Hopefully in next 2-3 months we get approved too.

We will find someone to maintain spreadsheet or it can be group effort once our time comes.

Thank you in advance,

Hello guys!
my name is Jaba, i am citizen of Goergia, Tbilisi. My wife is US citizen from TX. We applied for CR1 visa in Octomber and at the same month, 30 Octomber we received email from USCIS that we are eccepted and routed to the Nebraska Cervice Centre for processing.

Hello guys! I am Jaba from Georgia, Tbilisi and have citizenship of Georgia. My wife is Vivian from TX, USA! We applied for CR1 visa in Octomber 2013. I received email from USCIS at Octomber 30, 2013 and it said i am eccepted and my case would be processed by Nebraska service centre. Question is :I havent received mail notice how important is it for visa processing? ( i have my case number and another info through email anyways ). I am wondering when do we expect to get approvals from Octomber ? Do i need to call to Nebraska? If i will call them, will they answer where my case is in line or something usefull ? I am getting impatient especially when i know it turns 4 month soon after NOA1. Thanks guys for sharing informations, all responds are appreciated!

Yeah, we got routed to NBC "Overland Park". I put it in quotes, because when our cheque bounced, all subsequent notices and updates came from Lee's Summit.

Overland Park will begin processing petitions when all the planets align and a solar & lunar eclipse happen at the same time.
