Dec 2013 I-130 filers

So I have a question, the Joint sponsorship thing really confuses me. I for sure know I need a joint sponsor as I do not make enough for a family of 4 +1 my husband (the beneficiary). So when we have a joint sponsor are they needing to have enough income for their family ? my husband ? and my family? or just my huband and their family? we have an outpouring of support but want to make sure we do not waste peoples time with this tedious paper work.

just your husband and the sponsors family.

Emailing the service centers gets a generic answer too. More so than the senator inquiry. Been there, done that about 10 times. I think the I130s Are slowing down due to the DACA renewals. I'm seeing transfers all over the place. I would love to know where DACA files are processed. The DACA applications slowed my I130 down. Took 11 months. Really was frustrating.

Crazy. It seems like any thing is a good "reason" to make us wait.

Why Sept 29? Like 80 days since RFE was received?

faisal you have to realize that often the agents that you talk to on the phone will say all sorts of things. My sincere advice is to contact a senator or congressman, though sometimes I do question how helpful they are. It is worth a try, some are more helpful than others. Unfortunately we found that after the last service request saying that security checks were done and pending adjudication, then the email from the service center, we contacted the congressman, and believe it or not a few days later we got a response from the congressman that security checks were pending and to wait 90 days!!

We were shocked and my husband phoned them, and called them out on it, sent them the emails. They apparently called back an hour later saying they had spoken to the service center and we should hear back in 30 days. Makes me wonder if they did anything in the first place.

We have all waited long enough and if security checks are done, our petitions should go to the top of the pile and be adjudicated asap without any delay.

It is getting ridiculous, I hit 10 months next week since NOA1.

You also need to understand it is mostly about numbers. If they give you a stupid RFE, it takes your file out of the pipeline and it doesn't count in their monthly reports. They are known to do this. I think the NVC does the same.

Security checks and RFE's take your file out of the normal processing time and a service request is useless.

I feel for all of you who are still waiting. I remember getting really antsy at the 9 month mark.
