October 2016 I-130 Filers

[OsakaBen 4]

Glad to hear some Oct filers are getting approved! Not holding out for Nebraska Service Center, but it does give me a little hope.

I put in a request at the end of Nov to expedite our application due to humanitarian reasons, citing the recent earthquakes in Japan and risk of tsunami as we are living close to the sea. Unfortunately, it was not approved.

"We regret to inform you that we cannot grant your request for expedited processing of your case. Although your situation appears serious, you have not provided evidence to support an extreme emergent need"

Oh well, Back to waiting...

We filed i130 spouse and USCIS office received file in October 26,2015 then in November 9,2015 they said that the file transferred to another office and it has jurisdiction after that we waited till December 2,2015 they said that case received at my local office .

Also on March13,2016 we got the same notice that the case received at my local office .

So far , we did not get any update

They confused us .

Can any one get like what we got .

Hey everyone! I don't know exactly how all this works, so excuse me if I confuse terms and dates and such.

So I lived in Northern Ireland and was married there on October 10th. I then filed for my husband the I-130 and sent it to the London Embassy. I received an email from "USCIS Field Office London" (email dated Oct. 18) stating that "The Petition(s) for Alien Relative (I-130) that you recently submitted to this office has been properly filed (payment taken) on October 14, 2016."

The NOA1 does not state anything about the application being sent to another office.

I then emailed them on Dec. 15 for any information on the process.

They responded on Dec. 16:

Good afternoon,

Your Form I-130 was approved today. The approval notice will be mailed out on Monday.

Please note that our office does not issue receipt numbers for Form I-130.

USCIS London

Since then we haven't heard anything or received anything in the mail/email/spam folders.

Can anyone explain any of this to me? What should we be expecting? Is there another group specific for London Filers?

Thanks!

Seems like you are doing DCF. Thats a lot different than the average way. Pretty much your I130 has been approved, and you are moving on to the NVC part of this process. Since you are doing DCF, your case will go faster at NVC as well.. but sometimes it takes awhile for the NVC NOA. 

You can check DCF forums. Enjoy being able to do DCF, you will get your visa VERY soon! ?

Our case was received by the NVC end of December. Our case number was attributed on the 3rd January.

And I received today in the mail, a letter from the NVC with my case number and invoice.

Hey everyone,

 

I thought I'd join and say hello!  My partner and I have been together since 2009, married since 2013  and living in the UK up until last year.

We made the decision to move to the USA, my partner moved back to the states last year got a job and sorted out an apartment; and we filed the petition - we have a priority date of October 14th. 

 

Our petition has been sent to Potomac - as of today, the petition is just showing as 'case was received'... 

 

Anyone else in the same position as me? I see that some people have already been processed! I'm trying my best to be patient but really just want to be out there properly with my other half - all the travel back and forth and distance is pretty tough

Don't worry, we're in the same boat!  I filed for my Canadian wife and got the NOA1 on 10/24. Our petition is also at Potomac. It seems like Potomac is currently approving September filings, but on the bright side, they seem to be getting through Sept. quickly!

You're lucky you got Potomac, i think in one month they might start getting October approvals.  

Nebraska really sucks.
