October 2013 I-130 Filers

Ketsuban · April 10, 2014

It's really quite mosaiced (I know that's not a real verb!) going through the case numbers around mine. Random petitions have been approved, RFE'd, ARN changed, and some just on transfer notification still. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. Disappointing that the outburst of approvals has suddenly slowed back down to a drip. I want all you guys approved so we can have our own mini NVC thread for Oct 2013 filers only. Seriously, that big NVC thread is just TOO much to read through and it's mostly people asking questions and being ignored!

It's mostly people asking same questions over and over. If they bother to read/search few pages of thread, they would find answers anyway.

I know the NVC group is so difficult to follow. It's very time consuming to read so many postings. :unsure:

We might be able to continue using this thread for the NVC stage in 1-2 months assuming most of us will have received NOA2 by then. Fingers crossed. :idea:

Meanwhile, you can always use the I-130 Filers Facebook group to ask NVC related questions. It's a friendly group and you usually get your questions answered. :dance:

My husband will try to call to NSC for checking the case, but he left the letter at home n he doesnt know their telephone number. Is there anybody who knows which number he should call to? Could you tell me? Thank you!

AmberG · April 10, 2014

Okay so this immigration stuff has drove me completely crazy I believe. Most of us check so many numbers before us and so many after our number. I have been watching these same numbers since Monday. I am currently watching 167 numbers before me and 138 numbers after me a total of 305 numbers. Believe me it takes about 3 1/2 hours to check all the numbers. Mind you 288 of the numbers I am watching all have my same priority date of 10/29/2013. Anyways this is what I have saw in just my few days, 6 of these numbers after my number were approved on 4/8/2014 and 2 numbers had their ARN changed. On 4/9/2014 4 people had RFE's and 1 number had an RFE in December 2013 that showed today a post decision approved 4/9/2014. In all yes USCIS employees are skipping around there is nothing in order at all.

I decided to check 10 in front and back of me, and oh my, there are LOTS of RFEs. Is that the case for anyone else? There was a few approvals and one other ARN change other than mine. But maybe I will take it as a good sign that although I didn't get approved I don't have an RFE and just an ARN change. Who knows- I'll try to take anything as a good sign

AustinCanada · April 10, 2014

The numbers were released last thursday. There is no reason why this week could be slow. My theory is your file is at desk of someone who is too occupied with some complicated cases. You will have something in a week or two. How long are they gona stretch it anyway?

I sure hope this is the case and I'll get approved next week. Oh, I'm starting to hate using the words, "next week"! Haha. :dead:

It's been 30 days since I got transferred to NSC. It's been the longest 30 days in my life. LOL! :bonk:

JayBabay · April 10, 2014

Can someone please add an NVC category to the spreadsheet? Date shipped, Date received, Case number assigned, that should be sufficient at least we can stay here. It's way too many people in there and the problems they describe are too specific.

AMT7565 · April 10, 2014

Nebraska says 5 months. It has been more than 5 months for many of us. This is all very frustrating.

mattvisa · April 10, 2014

So like others here, i've taken to checking my case number on the USCIS website regularly, as well as those case numbers around me. I kind of got sick and tired of manuallly doing this, so I created a script to do it for me. :clock: What else am I going to do with my time while waiting for USCIS to get into gear?

For those technically minded I will have the code below, so you can modify it and run it yourself.

The output of the script looks like this (by the way that is just an example case number i'm using):

I really appreciate you writing this script. As a note, I also noticed that the receipt numbers seem to be issued in form order I130,I131. So once you hit a non I130, you can stop.

KristianaL. · April 11, 2014

People!!! Any news today?? I guess you all are sleeping :/

AmberG · April 11, 2014

I sure hope this is the case and I'll get approved next week. Oh, I'm starting to hate using the words, "next week"! Haha.

It's been 30 days since I got transferred to NSC. It's been the longest 30 days in my life. LOL!

Oh I know- since I got transferred and had an ARN change I felt like my hopes went up and then nothing!! They have 26 days and counting until the 60 days after the transfer. I had a good feeling about this week- but now I'm saying next week too. I think we should ALL get an award for patience!

vrkpp · April 11, 2014

Any guesses on the lack of approvals for the past few days.
