February 2016 I-130 filers

[abfar 119]

I received an email 2 days ago. Says our I-130 was approved towards end of April. Not bad since my wife mailed in the initial form around end January. So, ~3.1 months

So, whats next after the approval email? We've yet to received the approval letter hard copy.

Thanks!

So Its evident that they don't work in order see below:

LIN1690330950 Recv 1/5/2016 ( not touched yet )

LIN1690330978 Recv 1/5/2016 (RFE on 4/29/2016)

Im confused

LIN1690330981 Recv 12/28/2016 Approved 4/28/2016

Can some one Explain How **0950 came in on 1/5/2016 and *0981 came in on 12/28/2016 Am I missing something

This has become a part-time job for me

The mail is just piled up not always to date. When assigned to a someone, that person maybe slower or faster than someone else and cases are approved at different dates and speeds.

Welcome to government bureaucracy. It sucks, but at times with that much to do its the only to work at times because while some government employees care and go the extra effort they eventually get burnt out fighting an uphill battle and join in line. While they still care and do their best, changing the system isn't always possible unless you move up enough.

Sadly I speak from experience. I do my best, but the system can't be changed from my current level. One reason I'm back in school.

/off soap box rant. *shrugs* oops.

I agree with you 100% Some are just at work for the 8 hours they are required to be there while others make the best of the 8 hours .. Hope our cases falls into those hands .

Seeing all these numbers kind of makes you appreciate the workload they have.

Are all Receipt numbers in LIN format? Or is it just a particular center?

Mine starts with YSC.....

Yes LIN is for Nebraska

[abfar 119]

Yes LIN is for Nebraska

Ah thanks. After some googling around, it seems my center is Potomac, according to USCIS official website.

USCIS Website: "When the Lockbox sends your case to the Potomac Service Center, we will send you a notice with your receipt number. Cases sent to the Potomac Service Center will be assigned a receipt number that begins with YSC, which is the prefix used to identify Potomac Service Center filings."
