I found a couple of old threads where people were checklisted for signing the AOS with blue ink. Is this still an issue? I feel like blue ink would distinguish the signature as a signature, but I certainly don't want to be checklisted for something as stupid as that. (I know Saylin advises blue ink...)

I used black ink. Others have used blue ink no problem.

Congratulations to all the folks who've recently had case completes.

It has been a very long process for us (and many others), as we lodged our application in April 2013 and still do not have a CC. The USCIS became heavily burdened at that time because Obama called on the agency to adjudicate a new immigration benefit called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Thus putting all of the I-130's to the back of the line. The young adults (DACA) did not need to to be processed with this urgency, - as they are all living, working and schooling in the US presently. Unfortunatley, this decision caused families and loved ones who were (and still are) processfing I-130's to be apart for inhumane, excessive periods of time. Another ill-advised government decision was to centralize i-130 processing and stop Embassies and Consulates abroad from accepting filings. And then adding insult to injury...pushing all said applications to the NBC. Most of us on this forum experienced being transferred out of the NBC to one the processing centers. Thus causing monumental delays.

These governmental agencies, that are paid for by us, were created to make the lives of ordinary American citizens a little bit better. The current system is archaic, cumbersome and wasteful. And of course, - lacking decent, helpful customer support. Hopefully there will be change soon.

Thankfully, there is Visajourney...And many members on this site, who are willing to take the time and help others out through this process. Saylin's wiki and this forum have been a great help.

And so we continue to wait, going on 16 months. Hopefully, we get our CC soon too.

very well stated, and it seems no body on the immigration side care !!!!!

True that. Being in government jobs, they are probably told they can't invest emotionally in the petitioner's experience.
