Hey All!

I am a late Jan 2014 filer (I-130 & I-129F) and have been reading as many posts as possible to educate myself and have realistic expectations. Both of my petitions were sent to Nebraska directly - no transfer. Last week I got an update on both petitions that the alien registration number had changed. This week I called and got transferred to immigration who told me that this was a glitch in the system and that my case wasn't even assigned an A number yet.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I know how frustrating it can be to get your hopes up. As everyone else has probably heard, they told me that the average processing time for both petitions was 6-7 months.

I'm excited to follow this post and hear about everyone's process. My hub is in Australia and I am a USC. We are having a reception here in the States in October and I would be thrilled if he was here by then, but understand that is unlikely. Maybe it will be an extra special Christmas present :)

Stay positive everyone!

Ok, Team NSC at Visa Journey! Let's pull all collective energy together so that some of us can get NOA2s today! There haven't been many (if at all) this week so far. I'm praying that all or at leas

I have a question....I just mailed my i-130 packet to Chicago lockbox. What happens after that? Does it get transfered somewhere depending where you live? I ask because of this topic. I wouldnt want my case to be transfered to Nebraska if they are taking this long.

well, probably yes, because we mailed 1-130 packet to chicago lockbox and the 1,797c ( notice of action) says we are in Nebraska. My husband lives in new york.

@etrangais what does d the DACA renewals means and when will it happen

@etrangais what does d the DACA renewals means and when will it happen

DACA: Deffered Action for Childhood Arrivals.

The gouvernement passed a bill to allow illegal immigrants who entered USA as kids (with their illegal immigrants parents) to file for deffered action on deportation.

So, when USCIS got floaded with petitions from DACA, they took ressources away from I-130 petitions filed by US citizens for spouses and parents to process DACA petitions, hence creating a huge backlog of I-130's.

The DACA renewals are starting to hit USCIS again, and God only knows what effect that will have on all other petitons.

You can always search teh keyword "DACA" online for more info

11/17/2016: Got engaged
11/28/2016: I-130 sent to Chicago IL lock box
01/12/2016: NOA1

Kaelabelle I'm abroad too, we're lucky to be with hubby but I realllly want to get home. They said in a letter in October that processing dates are "supposedly" going to be back at 5 months by May. That might be good for you!! I'll try to find the link to the letter but it's on internet and on VJ. You should read it, might make you feel better.

Etrangais - like I said, look on VJ at timelines for i-130 and set the filter to transfers- nebraska. They have been on a few Junes lately so I think you're due for good news soon!!! Some people said they got 3 diff transfer emails (you said 2 already right?) and then they really did get approved not too long after. I really hope you get yours soon... You're due! Other centers are halfway done with August and starting sept transfers!!!

thanks for the encouragement!!! it is great to see some positivity around here :)

I am a Jan 2014 filer routed to Nebraska directly.

I´m not very confident about the random theory...they are supposed to process cases on a first come first served basis, if not....Why do we need a priority date? Just for filing? The receipt number would be enough for processing, then.

I am skeptical, I think they really take into account the filing and priority dates. According to their official processing times, Nebraska is taking 9 months (average) in doing approvals. So that, in my case, I do not expecty anything until October...

Maybe those cases of December you are referring to are K-1 visas. It seems they handle them quicker than IR-1/CR-1 requests....

We filed our's last Nov.29,then we got the NOA1 Dec 2,then we were approved by Jan.6..and the NVC received our package Jan.21..so..we phoned them to ask what to do next and they said wait until they instruct to file the AOS..then pay it

DACA: Deffered Action for Childhood Arrivals.

The gouvernement passed a bill to allow illegal immigrants who entered USA as kids (with their illegal immigrants parents) to file for deffered action on deportation.

Just for the sake of accuracy, the government did not pass this; in fact similar bills that had been tried previously were all roundly defeated in Congress. This was Obama all by himself, doing one of his now-famous end-runs around Congress. ranting33va.gifhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals#Politics

Thanks for the clarification!

At the end , it is the same outcome as far as we are concerned!

Yeah, but for us US citizens, it's important to keep track of what what the 'political elite' is up to. and make them answer for it at election time. It often looks like Obama trained as a constitutional lawyer merely so he'd be better at subverting it...
