Lovex3- Cashm did concurred filing. (AOS from another visa while in the U.S.) He did not file a stand-alone I-130. Just FYI

yeah, I noticed that... sadly =(

Thanks for the clarification though. I appreciate it.

I just signed it. Hope it can make a difference sometime!!

Thanks!!

Let's keep up the pressure, so that you don't have to wait as long as your predecessors have been waiting.

Lol, uhh... my husband's check bounced. So we've lost our priority date

A "check deficiency notice" is on its way to him as we speak. I have read varying info as to what is actually being mailed to him. He'll either just get a notice asking him to pay the $420 again plus an admin fee, or he'll get that plus the petition back.

Either way, I totally freaked out on Friday morning when I logged into USCIS and saw that. We were worried the check would bounce, but we thought we had sorted it with the bank. We'd also had scary news from his employer due to the Affordable Care Act (we thought he was going to lose his hours or even his entire job) so I just started crying at work!

Hopefully it is just a minor set-back though. A simple case of just mailing back the payment, with or without the petition.

I'll update this thread because no doubt there will be others embarking on the same journey who are just as bad at managing their finances as my husband lol

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!

Hi new here and trying to get some info on the process of the I 130. Filed this for my husband and was mailed off today (22 OCT) to the Embassy here in London, England where we currently live.

Am I right in thinking firstly I will get an email stating they have received the application. What happens after that?

Best of luck to all October filers! :-)

After they email, then you should also receive a hard copy and notice that they have cashed in your check. Then the waiting game begins.We have a long wait ahead of us. (possibly 11 months)

Hi I'm planning to file a petition for my Husband and our 3 years old son. Can I file a petition even though I'm not using my husbands surname? I'm still using my maiden name. I was not able to change it when I was in Philippines, and what if on my husbands Insurance policy my name there as a beneficiary is my married name. My husband put in there my name with his surname. Do you think the immigration will gonna question me about that?. Hope someone could help me. Thank you. By the way we're 3 years married and we have 3 years old son. I grew up in Philippines and I came back here in US last June. My husband and our son is still in Philippines,

I have decided to keep my maiden name as well. You should provide your legal name on the application and for evidence you can provide the insurance along with little description of why he put his surname. If they want extra information, they will let you know and contact you.
