Hello there

I can so relate 

We’ll be as honest as we can be ! 

My husband and I married 15 days after we met
We’ve been talking online for 2 months 

We were all set for the civil marriage before we met face to face 

He came to visit me in the Philippines 

and got married right away

He flew back to NY and me to Singapore 

He visited me here last August 

He was supposed to be in the plane right now to Singapore again to spend Christmas here with me but he missed his flight because of the traffic he faced in NYC after driving seven hours from Binghamton to JFK   - that he didn’t anticipate!

Just sucks now but it is what it is 

We do everything for love! 
 

 

Thanks for posting this. I am not alone in this after all...

Happy new year to everyone. 

May we all join our beloved spouse this year in Trumpland😉

Hi everyone. Does anybody have an idea when Texas will begin processing August cases?

They just started processing some July cases last month, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the ones they have already processed. Best guess, August could start being processed as early as the middle of this month, but may not begin until the end of January or even the beginning of February.

Hmmmm. I guess Potomac and texas will be the first winners here. 

 

Those of us at Nebreska and carlifonia centers are on a long ride

Thank you for your reply. Yeah, I noticed they started processing July, but I haven’t seen too many approvals. I thought maybe things slowed down due to the holidays. Hopefully they start picking up pace now that the holidays are over. I’m hoping they start August this month. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Based on the USCIS website the Potomac Service Center is approximately taking 7.5 to 9.5 months to approve I-130 petitions. You still are in that timeline. You will probably receive your NOA 2 anytime soon now, hopefully.

That's amazing... I'm waiting until August for Nebraska lol.

Anyone else at Nebraska seeing their case getting faster? Was September 15 a month ago on my estimate, now its August 1st.

Our poor group has fallen so quiet. Its going to get lost in the sea of topics. I saw in the group for July filers that Potomac is busy doing some heavy lifting for California Center atm and that is why things have seemingly come to a standstill for us.

Also, came to find out they supposedly update the USCIS processing estimates every month on the gov website, so we can trust it for the most part to be accurate. The first number in the estimate represents when 50% of applications with the same PD should be finished and the second number in the estimate represents when 93% of applications with the same PD should be finished. That is why they tell you to wait until after that time has passed before you contact them.  https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/more-info

Forum members, I have an enquiry. 

 

My spouse will be naturalized in 2 months time and our i130 case is currently at California center. Checking the status on California, i noticed they only handle LPR spouse petition and not USC. does that mean our case will be transferred to another center after her naturalisation?, 

 

If yes, does transferred case start all over again with new PD?, or continues with existing PD?

I hope to get approved my May and by the time NVC fixes their softwares. So everything would go fast and smooth

If I remember correctly it will stay at California but it will be processed much more quickly after you upgrade the case from F2A to CR1/IR1
