August / September I-130 2007 Filers

[The Group Meater! 0]

hmmm... after crying everynight for a month my wife went to the embassy again in hopes of some information. They told her timeline is about 2 to 5 years right now to get to the interview.

You are talking about the whole possess, I was just talking about getting the receipt notice only for the I-130

Your application will not be processed at Chicago. Chicago is simply doing the initial data input and then will return the file back to either CSC or VSC for processing. I think you can safely assume they will be processed by the Service Centers based upon the original date received.

The weekly USCIS updates have always included an entry for Chicago and Chicago has always been listed as up to date with all its forms.

it this for real??

I-130 mailed: 10/26/07 to CA Service Center

Confirmation of receipt of I-130: 10/29/07

I sent mine in 9/6/07 and i haven't received anything yet. I have confirmation.

do you know what should i do?

please help.

I sent mine on 20th Aug to Vermont and havent received anything so far in my case as well. I think a lot of people are in same boat. Maybe we will start seeing receipts soon now.

You sent yours to Vermont and you haven't even received a receipt notice? if so you should sent a letter to your congressman to see if you get any help and it won't hurt since you can use it to prove that you tried something. what i am saying is that it could be come useful someday.

Agreed. I have contacted my Congressman and lets see what help he can provide in this regard. August filers, has anyone received receipt notice from Vermont Service Center at all? Am i the only one waiting from Vermont?

I think hubby and I are the first ones in line here on VJ. VSC received our petition 08/03/2007- nothing yet. No check cashed, no receipt, no notice at all. We did contact our Congressman but with no luck so far. They said they would be looking into the case but who knows how long it will take for them to even find our petition in that huge pile. Plus, now that its been sent to Chicago who knows what will happen and when. I think a NOA1 would be a nice Christmas present. At least this way we would know that our case has been received and will be worked on in the future.

German lol, said same thing in another thread, forget the NOA2, all we are looking for is a receipt and yes I think you are the longest. This absolutely reeks of our system being so screwed up.

Got response from my Congressman also, they are assigning case worker, what happens, dont know, can not foresee any great leaps and bounds until January but lets all hope that have been waiting since August to get a receipt number, check cashed at least. This is so out of bounds that even the ref called it quits. Merry Xmas, for anyone I hope.

Keep me updated please.....dont matter if its Vermont or CSC, they both seemed to have just known to place all applications in a bin somwhere ready to ship to Chicago Lockbox. Why I still do not understand is their mission statement per se, we shall process applications in order they were received. What they should have posted was that I-130's will be placed for future use, and does not apply to this manual procedure.......sigh will email lawyer today and have him call and see what is going on. Im tired of getting the same answer, nope not in system, no money order not cashed, no you are on the floor somewhere- Frustrating yes, telling hubbie nothing is going on , bollocks!!!!

Cheers hun and enjoy holidays.

Hi Susie, what's the procedure to contact to a congressman? Do you write a letter to them or do you call them?

I called them, but they asked me to email or send a letter. to find out who to contact you can use this website. http://www.house.gov/writerep/

that is what i used and i hope to get a response today.

I am not sure how many people have applied in Aug 1 until sept 30 and didn't get a receipt for their 1-130 or I-129F I think it would be helpful if we can see how many are in this same problem to see if we are the only ones to see if we need to reapply or something.

Hi Germanchick, hi guys

we filed in September too and haven't got any reply yet.

Due to my wife's last registered address Vermont is/was our Service Center.

My case number doesn't show up yet in the online system either.

yes, I received my case number right at the embassy in Frankfurt while filing the papers.

So no receipt but a case number that doesn't show up online

@Stefank: you filed for DCF though and have nothing to do with the backlog at the service centers of USCIS. So, in that sense, you're pretty lucky. We all have been waiting for a very long time just to know if they received our petitions at all. Right now they are somewhere between Vermont, California and Chicago. Where they'll go next: who knows?

[AandLKC 1]

Has one sole got NOA1 from california after 8/30 and from VSC 7/29 ... ANYBODY ......

[Germanchick2502 0]

NO!
