January 2015 I-130 filers!

Congratulations for those who got approvals..!!

Hi

I filled I-130 for my husband in January 2015. My priority date is Jan 21, 2015 with the Texas service center.

Anyone else in that time zone?

I wanted to start a thread so we can keep each other updated. It's a relief to get some sort of update from others.

The current processing time on USCIS webpage is 5 months, it says less than 5 months. It's been over 5 months now and I haven't received my approval letter or any update. Anyone else have better luck?

I am getting really anxious as to why its taking so long. Any help/update is greatly appreciated. Any idea as to how fast the files move or anything.

If anyone has earlier priority date than mine, I would really appreciate feedback as to how long it took or when the approval letter came through.Any information in general

Thank You.

Hello all.

I understand this is a group for IR-1 filers but i've been following it especially those with their I-130's that were filed in California. I am processing for my parents which will be IR-5 visa. USCIS approved the case around the same time as everyone on this group who's processing center was California. I am trying to figure out how to check if NVC received their case and what their case number is. Does anyone know which number I should call? The number provided on their website keeps saying "high volume of callers and then it disconnects." I know most of you have receive your case numbers and even paid the fee already. How can I go about this please.

I see someone also posted that on USCIS website it shows the NVC package being sent or being received. My parent's status hasn't changed on USCIS since it got approved.

Hi Tick Tock,

Sorry i am new to this. I just created the account today.

Priority Date was May 1st.

NOA1 was May 4th.

NOA2 was June 3rd.

Ever since we got the approval letter I haven't heard anything. No email, no package or anything. I keep trying to call to find out if I NVC received the case and if they've been a case number and how to pay the fee online.

[Kastrs 723]

Did you receive the NOA2 in the mail? Have you checked your online case status in USCIS- it is normally updated with the date your petition was shipped to the NVC. From the shipment date it takes about a week to arrive at the NVC and another two weeks after that to get a NVC case #.

I received the NOA2. USCIS case status online has not been updated since June 3rd.

Did you call USCIS to see if your case has been shipped to the NVC?

I did just now and spoke to a very elderly lady. She tried to explain to me that the case is still within the 5 month processing time to call back after the 5 months are over. I tried to explain it to her that the case was already approved I was just checking to see if it was sent to NVC yet and she kept repeating the same script. So frustrating! I just read somewhere that they are not updating all statuses. I've been calling NVC all week and that automated message of high call volume just keeps coming on.

Call again - maybe speaking to a different person at the USCIS will be of help.

About the NVC, it is always busy. I just got off the phone with them, took me about 10 calls to get in. Keep trying

Received email and text msg from USCIS - they sent my case to the NVC today.

NOA2 - 6/12/15

Txt/Email - 6/25/15

Good luck to all of those waiting for approvals.

Called NVC and they confirmed case was received on July 2 (7/02/15).

NOA1 - NOA2: 4mo, 28 days

NOA2 - Case Sent: 13 days

USCIS Sent - NVC Received: 7 days

The lady suggested calling back in two weeks as it can take up to 4 weeks to get a case number assigned.

update:

Our priority date was 02/12/2015 and just received my our NOA2 07/06/2015 from the Nebraska center.

It's been so long since there has been any movement, I forgot what the next step is lol Just so I get this straight--is there suppose to be another notice that they've sent our case off to NVC via emal/text/letter?

Got through to NVC! I was soo excited to finally hear a ring instead of the "thank you..." they DID receive my case even though USCIS never update their website! Now on hold trying to find out when it was received and if there's a case number assigned. Thank you!!
