November 2014 Filers - Texas Service Center

[MJ0110 4]

I have a question. Will sharing a house with ex spouse caught any trouble???? The least and bills are in my name and my ex just sharing one of the rooms.

[MSCastillo 27]

I don't think it would cause any problems as long as you have the proof to show you're definitely separated.

think just make sure you have plenty of evidence to show you and your partner are the real thing and that will wipe away any doubts

Can I just say grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr DACA start filing Feb. 18

I can't even believe that USCIS says, " USCIS will be working to process applications as expeditiously as possible"

I. Can't. Even. Lies.

Q4: How long will applicants have to wait for a decision on their application?

A4: The timeframe for completing this new pending workload depends on a variety of factors. USCIS will be working to process applications as expeditiously as possible while maintaining program integrity and customer service. Our aim is to complete all applications received by the end of next year before the end of 2016, consistent with our target processing time of completing review of applications within approximately one year of receipt. In addition, USCIS will provide each applicant with notification of receipt of their application within 60 days of receiving it.

Q5: Will USCIS need to expand its workforce and/or seek appropriated funds to implement these new initiatives?

A5: USCIS will need to adjust its staffing to sufficiently address this new workload. Any hiring will be funded through application fees rather than appropriated funds.

Q6: Will the processing of other applications and petitions (such as family-based petitions and green card applications) be delayed?

A6: USCIS is working hard to build capacity and increase staffing to begin accepting requests and applications for the initiatives. We will monitor resources and capacity very closely, and we will keep the public and all of our stakeholders informed as this process develops over the course of the coming months.

And....... Q6........Good way of NOT answering the question. Increasing staff to begin accepting resuests is not the same as processing other applications. Rant.

[Wooderz 314]

I read those FAQs when they first came out. I was angered over q6, too, at the time. Today when I re-read it, I just lol'ed to myself alone in my house at the part about keeping the public informed. Bold face effing lie. The audacity. It's shocking.

Edit: and I call bs on the line about monitoring resources. They don't even do that now.

[TabeaK 517]

They are supposed to update mid-month. Last update was Jan 20th. Expect another 3 weeks. At least.

[MSCastillo 27]

i know this isn't an update but no one seems to get why I'm so excited, but my boy is on his way to visit me
at least spending a few weeks together will help blow some time away!

I can't wait till we all start getting approvals!!

[Cristin 18]

Hi guys! Hope you've been doing well. I've been pretty MIA lately just because I was tired of seeing Nov 2014 CSC (and December and January) approvals, and I was just busy Just wanted to write that I'm currently making a binder to bring with me to Morocco (I'll be there in 3 days ) so he has everything possible for the interview.

I'm bringing photos, copies of my passport stamps, boarding passes, itineraries, copy of the entire I-129F, signed re-affirmation of the letter of intent, and the signed affidavit of support w/ backup documentation. I need to also pick out some convos throughout our relationship from fb and Skype. If anyone else thinks of something... let me know

[MJ0110 4]

Cristin,

Same here. I'm in hong kong now and on my way back to the States. I'm getting so tired and jealous of those who filed after but already got their approval. I'm thinking of contact my senator. But I've aslo heard it won't change anything. I just can't bare to be apart from my fiancée anymore:(

[katiekay 28]

I think we all feel your pain lol... So sad everyday that you check your case status and see the same thing while watching everyone else move along with their journey. I'm hoping we'll get a transfer, but if not we got couple more months to go

Agreed with you that we still have couple more months to go. It seems like forever tho. Can't believe its been three months. Guess two more til the 5 months mark won't hurt much. God bless us with our journey.
