March 2015 IR-1/CR-1 filers

[Jovi&James 14]

Hi VJers! Finally I found a topic about March 2015 Filers.

We applied for CR1 and our I-130 is in Nebraska (NOA1: March 4, 2015).

Yesterday we saw this on the UCSIS Case Status site:

On July 20, 2015, we updated your name for your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number LINXXXXXXXXXX. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

And also, we received this mail:

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case.

Receipt Number: LINXXXXXXXX

Application Type: I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On July 20, 2015, we updated your name for your Form I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, Receipt Number LINXXXXXXXXXX. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

• Log-in to your myUSCIS account to view your case history and understand what you can expect to happen next on your case.
• Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times.

Sincerely,
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

It says "Your Case Status: Initial Review" and I was excited because I felt they´re looking our case right now, but I was looking the UCSIS Processing Time Information site and our Center (Nebraska) has changed the date from "5 months" to "January 16, 2014" (????)

Please, help me giving your comments in base of your experience !

Thank you so much in advance,

Jovi

I see that the consulate is not only tough in Haiti , but it is tough all over , I denied a visiting visa last year although I've been married to a US citizen for 3 years that time. I had everything that proved I would get back after my visit is over , but the CO had already made up his mind and refused to have a look at any of my documents.
