Hi Beatriz :) I don't post the list its @geowrian and @AkesAngel they are awesome! And well no one can really tell you why your case hasn't been touch....its really randomly from the USCIS. Some have been waiting more than 110 days( since October 2016) and their cases haven't been touched. But if you see the list they're getting there ...its really up to luck and the USCIS workers <_< ...but hey hang in there we'll get there sooner than you think!! :) 

I'll refer to my previous analogy as to why some take longer. :)

I sent my packet Dec 20  with NOA1 notice date Jan 5th. I hope next week or first week of April I hear something.  I am 6 months pregnant and I hope my love is with me when our baby is born =/ . I think that if I don't hear from them within 2 weeks might be waiting much longer, which will suck =( .

The extremely abridged version is a 2 step process:

1) Scan a range of case numbers to find the I-129Fs and save those to a CSV.

2) Scan all case numbers in a CSV file and export the results to another CSV file.

 

Step 1 is done once for a given range of cases. For instance, I scanned about 65,000 cases to find the Nov. I-129F filers for CSC.

Step 2 is what is done daily to check for updates to those cases found in step #1.

 

All of these are done via Node.JS scripts I developed.

Hello. I have a couple of questions for those who have a Filipino Naturalized USC petitioner with Filipino beneficiaries as well: 

 

1. After NOA2, Do we need to secure a copy of the Philippine birth certificate of the USC petitioner? Or is his naturalization certificate enough? 

 

2. USC petitioner was a minor (16yo) when he was petitioned by his parents to the US. But he acquired his Naturalization at the age of 20 (no longer minor). My question is, Do we still need to secure a Philippine CENOMAR for the USC petitioner?

 

Hope somebody can shed some light on this. God bless :)

 

Aloha
