I-130 November Filers

[Cathymac 60]

Peeps, just posted a letter in a new topic about wait times that someone on one of the FB pages wrote. Be good if everyone could send it to the relevant agencies and media outlets x

Nov 8th file date here. Two service requests and still nothing. It is hard to not get depressed or angry knowing that this is only the 1st stage, that other later file dates are being processed much quicker, and that the NVC is getting a huge backlog as well.

Seriously? Omg, have you got your senator or member of congress on the case? This is crazy. I'm so sorry

Hello VJ....I petitioned for my husband in Jamaica on Nov. 25, 2013. I've placed several service request...the last one was placed on 7/30/2014. Now I am so frustrated right now, but I guess there is nothing I can do. Everyone else has gotten an approval and I don't understand why our petition is taking so long. Has anyone ever received this response from a service request? If so please enlighten me as to what the result was.

We are also still waiting and got the same response... It's a bunch of November/December filers that are stuck in security checks apparently. Our PD is 11/19.

Yup.

I am not sure what will happen, but I emailed my Senator in reference to my petition because I feel that this case is taking too long. I was told it's pending background checks. Both me and my husband has no criminal record. On Aug 25th...it will be 9 mths since my petition was submitted. I just want to receive our NOA2 so we can move on to the next step which I assume will take several mths also.

I'm sorry this has happened to you Hang in there!

yes the 2nd part of the process is currently taking about 5 months from NOA2 to interview... most people are looking at around 1 year or more for the entire process.

Cheers!

[Gjhdlab31 10]

Since my petition is pending security checks, should I put in another service request?

When did you put in your last one? Cause I've been trying to put in another e-request but it keeps telling me that there already is a request for my case number.... But if you can, I'd say do it, it can't hurt right?
