Dec 2013 I-130 filers

[TJandKC 11]

Hello Everyone,

VSC recevied our RFE response on 11th July, 1 month and 7 days today. We are still waiting for approval. We have kept a lawyer who is telling us to wait.

What is the VSC email address? I want to email them directly. What should I do now?

Please help.

HI all,

As a point of reference, my PD is 12/26. I am still under initial review. So much uncertanly as to when we all (December filers) will be approved.

Wow I didnt think there were so many Dec filers left.

Also waiting on a response from our rfe (proof of bona fide marriage). TSC received the evidence July 7th and still no news. Nervous to bug them before the 60 days is up because they said that is the time frame to expect a response

Hi,

Thank you all.

I got back yesterday late at night from my trip, I had no access to internet for all these days (beside this one day when we got approved - lucky me ) and I was going through all these pages with a hope that I will see more approvals ! but I am sad to see that there is none.

I would like to let you know that we had contacted our congressman twice, talked to Tier2 two or three times, put 2 e-requests and wrote twice directly to Nebraska. Last response we got 4 days before approval : " USCIS records indicate your case was undergoing an extended background check. The background check is now complete and the case is assigned to an officer.Although assigned, we are unable to predict the date a final decision will be made. If you have not received a notice of action or a decision on this case within 30 days, please contact us for an update."

Not sure if bugging all of them had helped or it was by luck.

I am hoping that you will all get approved soon ! I want to go thru nvc stage with you, December family

Thanks nanana, how is the water in NVSea?

We're in touch with a caucus member from ACA (American Citizens Abroad) working on making an inquiry for our petition. We have also emailed Nebraska directly a few days ago explaining our issue, still no reply. Same day we emailed uscis associate directors (for the heck of it), no replies, oh yes, sorry, auto-replies saying they are out of office until xx date.

We were trusting (ah ah ah) the uscis this would go smoothly and that we would not need to jump thru such hoops. Naive we were. What a mess.

BTW I have at least 20 receipts numbers with a PD same as mine still waiting for a decision. That's only for Dec 23 2013 and I am far from having checked every one on that date.

Hi guys,

I am a Dec filer, here is some advice to save you up to 60 days during NVC process.

After you get the approval, and get your case number, before DS 261 is made available, strongly consider getting a lawyer for a short time.

Two packages for NVC process AOS & IV package have separate fees, for non lawyers there can be a gap of 60 days between two invoices. With a lawyer, both fees are invoiced at same time towards the beginning.

After you pay your fees, you will likely no longer need them and can prepare everything on your own.

It will cost probably $400, but I think it is worth it to save 60 days.
