Hi Nerdette,

Yes you have been waiting a long time , even a day longer than myself with your I-130, and I've been a regular on the March filers with no approvals thread for quite a while. One of the best things you can do for the other members of this website is to fill in your timeline. That way accurate estimations can be generated for other people waiting, and it gives them hope on when you actually can expect to be approved.

Hey Guys thanks for the reply! I am sick and tired of waiting! I am regestired with USCIS... but how do i know if my case got "touched" or not??? thanks guys....

Hello 7ub6686, you can tell if your case has been touched when the dates have been changed in the Last Updated fields on CRIS. Everytime someone looks at your case the Last Updated date should change. However, some pettitions get approved without ever seeing as touch. CRIS is where you registered and entered your receipt numbers.

I'm an April filer and I'm patiently waiting! I have gone beyond the crazy stage in this whole process and I have put all of my faith into Allah's hands. My husband will be here with me and our sons soon inshallah.

My wife and I are faithfully waiting for God to guide Larry, Moe, and Curly with our petition at CSC also. Your ajudication should arrive soon.

I see from your timeline the I-130 and I-129F were sent in on the same day. A very wise option.

Parachute4U, August 14th has come and gone and August 31st is today. I hope you hear something soon and remain close to average (mathmatical mean).

Neenuh,

Sorry you waited so long for your I-130 NOA1.

I just read the following from the USCIS web site. It might explain the delay in your receiving the I-129F NOA1. Please check out the following link.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...0004718190aRCRD

The text on the site regarding CSC states:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) advises customers that, due to a tremendous increase in the number of applications filed, processing of fee payments and entry of cases into our tracking system is behind schedule. As a result, applicants can expect notices of receipt to be delayed. USCIS is working hard to deal with the increased volume.

Delay in fee processing and data entry will not affect an applicant’s Change of Status or Extension of Stay eligibility if all other eligibility requirements are met. USCIS continues to process Premium Processing Service requests within 15 days.

USCIS will honor the actual date that an application was received in our mailroom; this date will be indicated on the receipt (in the Received Date box) when Form I-797, Notice of Action, is mailed. Until this situation is resolved, USCIS will provide these weekly updates on progress in issuing receipt notices to our customers. We appreciate your understanding.

As of August 31, 2007, USCIS has completed data entry and issued receipt notices for applications and petitions received on or before the dates indicated:

California Service Center

Form Number: Date Received:

I-130 8/06/2007

N-400 7/24/2007

All Other 8/16/2007

Since your sent date is right around August 16, 2007, it looks like your NOA1 receipt is in the mail or will be first thing next week.

Hi Robin, our I-130 was sent in May and still no NOA1.

My Husband and I were patiently wait for God`s will. We know sooner or later we got a message from Chris and we will be together again forever. Praise the Lord!

Jim-Bob,

You are one of the unfortunate ones who had their I130 sent directly from VSC to CSC and received your NOA1 directly from CSC. There are a few others on this site that are in the same boat. It looks like a narrow timeframe, in the late teens of April. 2 weeks later, we stay at VSC, and are probably approved by now. Keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers

G,

That is horrible! I am so very sorry to hear about your delay, truly.

This is my take. The USCIS CSC, and maybe across the board, had some major programming/computer glitches that either crashed their system or got completely out of wack. I believe they lost their tracking capabilities for a couple of months and some of the problems were not able to be solved.

My guess is the system "gave" a print and mail command for your NOA1, but it never made it to the printer and thus never mailed to you. There is no way they can recover whether some people received their NOA1 or not.

If I were in your shoes, I would call and write letters to my Congressman and two Senators explaining the situation. I would also call the USCIS 1-800 number constantly and bug them relentlessly. Screw whether or not you offend anybody -- just keep your personal integrity and honor and morality. ALSO, this is one instance I would use the "RFE Trick" CONSTANTLY until I received the answer I wanted.

Call, call, call, call and don't stop. DEMAND they resend a replacement letter.

Good luck. Please let us know how it turns out. Supposedly according to their documentation. If there are delays due to their fault, they will expedite your case to catch you up to the appropriate point in the process. Again, I would bug the death out of them.

I'm ticked at how slow they are already. This makes me hate the USCIS system even more. And for others reading, I blame "the system." I don't blame the individual workers at USCIS CSC and other sites. I trust they are doing the best they are allowed to do.

God bless,

Robin

[Urge To Race 2]

G,

Did you call to have a replacement NOA1 sent. You will probably get one now. They did have computer problems, so the system thinks you were sent an NOA1 when you were not. Even if you called a while ago, their problems continued for some time, so again they might have thought they resent it and actually nothing was sent.

Robin, I know this wait is frustrating (trust me), but now need to overreact. The RFE trick is not needed here or repeated calling even. G&A submitted their I129F using other evidence of a pending I130 at the end of June. Plenty of us who filed our I130s in April through July waited a month or so to send the I129F because our NOA1 was delayed or missing. Considering that March filers are finally just getting approved, going nuts to get a missing NOA1 isn't going to help the case, nor will it get it expedited.

We are all closer to our approvals now that we were yesterday!

Cheers

Oops. I didn't notice from the signature G&A sent in their I-129F and has received that NOA1. I was thinking they were feeling the need to wait for the I-130 NOA1 to go to the next step.

This still shows that USCIS lost its tracking capabilities.

[G&A 1]

Robin / Urge, Thanks for your feedback. I did not wait for it and went ahead with the 129F. My hope is that the paper i am missing has no bearing on my case's timeline. The reason i posted above is to make the point that CSC is not yet current as they claim they are (Aug dates). I called them several times for the NOA1. Two calls ago they told me to wait 60 days from my receipt date of 6/9. I did that and called back in mid Aug at which point then told me that i now have to wait 90 days and to call back after 9/9. The reason was the fee changes increased their backlog and they are not willing to take any action now until 3 months have passed. So now i am waiting for 9/9 to call them and hoping they will not tell me that i now have to wait 120 days haha
