wow,Now I feel the same as you...and can't focus on work anymore.

 

About the number : " TSC has received 45,000 cases for immediate relative I-130, processed 19,000 in the same period, leaving 70.000 cases still outstanding including those accumulated pending cases from Q1 2017"   and I compare it with following statistics in the report ,  not see many cases in Texas though  or below statistics are not mean Texas processing center?

Those are local offices, scroll down to last 2-3 pages you will see service centres.

 

I live in my country everyday doing my job like i've resigned...nothing is exciting and I'm not bothered about what's going on anymore...

Husband just called USCIS today, asked for a tier 2 officer who called back after 190 minutes. We had prepared 3 questions and I'm now feeling a bit disappointed and need some positive energy, lucky it's my Friday here i dont have to worry about it for the next 2 days... 

 

Q1, Did USCIS receive the clarification letter about beneficiary's country of birth?

USCIS:: Yes and a confirmation for information update has been sent so it should not be a problem.

 

Q2. Did USCIS receive beneficiary's birth certificate and added it to the package?

USCIS: You are not supposed to send information unless you are asked for it. So now it is likely it will be misplaced and not added to your file.

 

(OK so worst case scenario it's just not added to my file. But they received the clarification letter and responded to it? now the birth certificate they will not add it to the file? How is it justified?)

 

Q3. What is case status and is it assigned to an officer for review?

USCIS: Takes 6-9 months for approval and now it is still under normal time frame (#######?). Case is pending for assignment to an officer but not yet.

 

Since TSC is already in Feb i'm sure i'll just queue up but then the horrible fact is that in Q2 2017 (Jan-Mar) TSC has received 45,000 cases for immediate relative I-130, processed 19,000 in the same period, leaving 70.000 cases still outstanding including those accumulated pending cases from Q1 2017.

A bit worrying and it's probably the worst time ever throughout the whole process because we know it's close but it's just not happening.

 

Sorry just need some venting.

Husband called uscis yesterday and was able to talk to tier 2 officer , she said they are processing november 2, 2016! It is really confusing to me . The first officer said october 2016 , we figured talking with a tier 2 officer can make it a bit more specific about dates because here at VJ i see people from february are getting approved but it seems each case is different . Ours is feb 27 , texas
