December 2015 I-130 Filers

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

Hey Sammy. I mailed in my I-130 on December 9th, they gave me my NOA1 on December 21st. It's been over 5 months for me, and we still haven't heard anything. I've contacted my congressmen and gotten them involved and they're "looking into it" for me. No word about how that's going yet from them either.

It's extremely frustrating seeing everyone else being approved and getting their case numbers and filling out their forms and paying their fees and moving months ahead of you in the process when you both filed at the same time. I think along with SophJosh, we're the only December filers left here that haven't been approved. How many others have been in this thread? 20? 25? 30? Somewhere around there?

It doesn't help that VJ's "currently processing dates" have said that our case was only 2-5 days away for the past 3 months; I don't trust those at all since it's obviously so horrendously inaccurate. It seems like the California Service Center has basically just shut down completely over the past 3 months, they're approving about half of the petitions per day that they used to, if even that many, based on VJ's statistics. And it really stinks that there is nothing you can do but sit and wait and hope and watch the world go by around you while you're stuck in place. It really sucks, and I wouldn't wish this truly awful feeling of hopelessness on anyone.

It really stinks Sammy, but at least know that there are still a few of us here that are in the same position as you are. Best of luck, and I hope you get approved soon. The fewer of us stuck on this portion of things, the better.

Best wishes,

Reggie mann I feel for ya! (: When did you contact your congressman? Hope it comes soon! Fingers crossed!

Hello forum..... I did file my 130 on dec 28 2015. Nsc

NOA 1 on 01/4/2016

Up to date .. Nothing has been done on the case. Called customer service,,, they said I should call back in 2 months time if I don't get approval notification... Since its not yet 5 months.. Also seeing that people who filed same time Dec 2015 have gotten approved awhile ago, make me sad!!!!!!!!! ?

Sammy it could show up this week or next. Most of us just started getting approved like 3 weeks ago. Nobody ever said they all come when you expect them. Hold on you may be surprised! Fingers crossed!

I love your signature with the different steps for the NVC.

Thanks, I know it helps me when others who are ahead in the process do it so I did it too hoping others could benefit.

Yea it is, but make a difference knowing I am not alone in this, we can put to the federal court with a WOM writ of mandamus.... If we don't get a reply in time.. But hate to go that route.... Money wise!!! But it's faster

Congratulations on your baby. Sad thing is that this process is complicated enough and a baby does not make it any easier. Good luck!

HI AH88 just to let you know, I didn't have to get NVC to review the DS261. They just sent me an email today. I checked and my IV fee is available to pay.

[AH88 1]

Oh good! I paid my AOS fee over the weekend so i should be right behind you in the process by a day or 2. I haven't had any time to call. Keep me updated looky on what you are doing so i can also follow along.

I will, only I think after the DS260 you don't want to follow me cause after that I'll wait for my wife to finish her classes in about 3 months to work on getting the police certificate and stuff. But at that stage its more like just getting all the dicuments ready and ship them to NVC.

I been trying to follow the NVC forum. An it is so confusing to me and I'm just as lost as a kid in the middle of time square. Lol

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

Welcome Aguiirre, well I see a happy icon so I'm assuming your NOA2 was approved already and you're probably running laps thru NVC!

Oh no don't get lost in the middle of time square, thats no fun? I snuck in the NVC forum once and I never went back, maybe later.

Did you get your case number and stuff? Have you found that NVC_Process link which takes you thru almost everything you need to know?

I haven't received my case number yet or anything else. I saw the process steps if that's what you're asking for the NVC process. My husband have a copy of everything already. He's done the police report, he's working on his medical records. I've redone Me, my son and my coworkers I-864.

So I'm pretty much just waiting on my numbers so I can pick an agent, do the apps online and pay the fee's. I'm hoping and praying that we don't get on checklist.

But the bad part is that I'm have surgery today and want be able to move around like a want to for a few weeks whenever I get the case number and IIN.

Best wishes good luck with the surgery and I hope you have quick recovery. Wow you're like set to go where your case number comes in!

I don't know about for Jamaica, but for London the medical record is only valid for 6 months so I've heard most people do it right before the interview cause I think its supposed to be valid when entering the US.
