How long did you have to wait to get a response for your e-request? I filed an e-request 7/9. I know I will have to wait for a while, just wondering how long.

Really?? What's going on now?

How do I determin if I qualify for e-request?

Service Center processing time + 1 Month = You can file service request

Right now :

5 + 1= 6 months

if after 6 months you do not hear anything from USCIS, then you can file e-request. Before that it do not allow to file...

I get it now, so since I'm a Feb 10th filer, I'd have to wait at Least until August 10th or so. Thanks for that, I hope to get approved by then, if not, I now know what to do.

What does e-request actually do for you? Does it speed up application somehow? Is e-request the same thing as service request? I am a little confused with all these terms - if someone knows better please kindly clarify.

I received a letter on 07/09/2014 from the Department of Homeland Security Lincoln NE (Form I-797C, NOTICE OF ACTION) that my I130 petition for alien relative that was receipt date of 02/28/2014 which I thought was being processed at the NEBRASK Service Center was no being transfered to the California Service Center. i called the National Customer Service Center to see why and they said that there was a backlog at the Nebraska Service Center and that my case was being tranfered to the Calfornia one to be expedited. I don't know if this is because I am a retired military veteran or is the National Customer Service Center blowing smoke about it being expedited. I called them out about the normal processing time being around 5 months and why did they wait until I was 2 weeks away from the 5 month mark to transfer my case. Anyone have similar circumstances like me?

Many NSC petitions after PD 2.15.14 were transferred to other Service Centers.

Just adding another APPROVAL!!! Woo-hoo! PD Jan 28th, such a great way to start the week!! On to NVC!

Congratulations from Fernando and I!

I could be wrong, but I doubt being a military veteran had anything to do with it. My husband is US military veteran (also retired) and we are going on month 6 of waiting for NOA2 (PD 02 Feb 2014). They seem to be moving lots of petitions from mid February, so obviously NSC has a backlog they are trying to clear up. Hopefully the transfer will mean your petition will be adjudicated soon, but I am thinking they may be throwing the word "expedited" around a little freely.

Hi,

Did you file a service request. My lawyer said that she spoke to NSC and they said she would be able to file one until 23rd July (5 months + 2 months)…..hmmmmmm

All receipt numbers around mine are approved, but am remaining hopeful that we are just around the corner!!!
