TSC adjudication prediction times for K-1s

[prindell 8]

This is our second petition.

From everything I can find, Texas Service Center is not processing I-129F petitions currently (?) I am not finding any visa-journey members that are being adjudicated through TSC, all have been transferred to California Service Center (or originally routed there, but confuse the Texas Lockbox with the Texas Service Center and thus, error on their timeline entries).

Are we the only applicants that actually have our case sitting (and sitting and sitting) at the TSC?

How are the timeline prediction dates estimated? Are there some actual instances of K-1's being processed by TSC?

Just trying to get some idea of when we might expect to see some actions taken on our case, which I believe was transferred to TSC from CSC because our first petition went through TSC.

Thank you.

Are you sure you are sent to TSC?? They haven't done I-129F since March 27th 2015 do to backlog.

What does it say on your NOA1 mail you got?

The Texas lockbox and texas service center are two different things just a lot of people confuse them as one.

Yes, unfortunately, I'm sure. Our first petition was sent to TSC with an NOA1 date of March 23 (2015)... we just missed the cut-off and were stuck in TSC for 168 days while we watched others who filed after us, for the next four months, get adjudicated before us. Anyway, water under the bridge... that petition ended with the visas being refused due to error on the petition discovered during the CO interview.

We are now in the midst of our second petition which was originally routed to CSC, but transferred to TSC a month later. I can only surmise the reason for this is because TSC handle our first petition. In any case, we are again sitting in TSC while watching others, who file after us, getting approved at CSC, where we were originally routed. I'm truly happy for them, but it's so painful for us... so much for "first come, first served".

You will be the first one I have heard of being sent to TSC after that date. Your second petition is a new one so don't see why they should sent it to TSC just because the other one was sent there but I can be wrong of course.

Lucky me. LOL But this is the reason for my post inquiring about the TSC adjudication prediction dates. If there are no I-129F petitions being processed by TSC, how are the estimate dates arrived at?

Is our petition truly the only one sitting at the TSC? Any body else out there?....

Because people think when they sent they package to the Lockbox in Texas then it's at the Texas service center and they do not correct in the timeline.

All on rigor's list is only based on what's entered in the timelines of the VJ members.

Sorry haven't heard of anyone other then those from before March 27th 2015.

Yeah, I figured I was grasping at straw in hopes to find other, actual, TSC filers. It would be nice to have a few other timelines to watch, if nothing else, just so I don't feel so all alone.

Thank you for your time in reading my posts and for your considerate and helpful replies.

your receipt number doesn't start with WAC right?

Actually, yes it does, but as stated a couple times already, that's because it was originally routed to CSC, but on Feb. 22 2016, it was transferred to TSC. I realize that this must be really rare and you're thinking I must be mistaking somehow... I wish that I were. I have attached the transfer notice to validate my claim. Thanks again for your assistance.

Sorry it's just weird but as you said and as is stated it must be because of your old application. But since they have been backlog logged for so long the wait can't be months and months I wish you good luck

My fear is that they have redirected all their manpower to get caught up on all the other immigration cases (I-130's etc) and they're not too worried about a lone I-129F case and they'll wait the five months or until they otherwise have to. But, who knows, perhaps it's being worked on as we speak. I sure hope so, it's been a long haul and I'd really like to get back to the USA while my home is still standing. Thanks for the well wishes. All the best to you, too.

There are still people from last year waiting for result for their I-129F so they are working on them

Thanks for the encouragement and like I said in the previous post, "... who knows, perhaps it's being worked on as we speak". Guess what... it was! We received an electronic notification today that the petition was APPROVED on April 7! Now I can update my timeline and provide visajourney with some actual TSC results. Yeheey!
