October / November I-130 2007 Filers

[sharif 0]

I just got off the phone with immigration officer and she told me they forward all Vermont applications to Chicago and it will take at least 60 days before they sort all the things out there.. I think nobody knows what is going on. they just read things from their site. so that is means may be we should trust their site then

That is Encouraging!!! On a brighter note, I am going to Thailand to meet my hubby there for Christmas!!! We haven't seen each other for four months. It is one of few countries where we both can go without getting a visa plus it has nice beaches. What is everybody doing for Christmas?

I would like to start this thread for those who filed I-130 in October and November. We sent our I-130 on October 1st still didn't get NOA. With all this processing time delays published by USCIS it seems like it is going to take a long long very long time for us to get NOA.

I am an October 30 filer. I want to puke!!

I am so frustrated!! What REALLY frustrates me is seeing with the extra filers the VISAs that they decide are important enough to do first..and WE are well down the list!!!

I participated in a State Department program. And so I was on J-1 student visa in the U.S. This student visa requires to come back to a home country for 2 years before you can change your status to anything else. My two years are almost up now.

So, We have been screwed up again. I was supposed to fly to Thailand yesterday to meet my husband in Bangkok. We were going to fly to Phuket for Christmas. Well, I used my passport which was still on my maiden name and the customer officer didn't let me to board the plane. My husband is already in Bangkok and in process of canceling everything we have planned to do and change his tickets to go back to the U.S.

He can't get a Russian visa in Thailand because according to new immigration laws, you can no longer apply for a Russian visa in country you don't reside.

Hello everybody,

We also filed in November. My wife (a USC) mailed I-130 and G-325s to Nebraska Service Center on November 13th. It was received on the 15th according to USPS tracker. But we have heard nothing from USCIS yet.

My wife is from Minnesota. That is why she mailed the petition to Nebraska Service Center. But we have started to panic now! Even the USCIS website does not have processing time up for I130s that are sent to NSC. Can somebody please help me by explaining about WHAT HAPPENS TO THE I-130 MAILED TO NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER? Your responses would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Don't panic. We have filed in October to Nebraska and we still have nothing. Everybody who filed to Nebraska used to get their petitions transfered to California bz NCS doesn't process I-130s. Because of the millions of petitions filed past July everybody who filed after August 30 in California STILL don't have a NOA1. Latest news are that all petitions filed after August 30 to CSC and July somth to VSC are shipped to Chicago for data entry. So Hopefully in January all of us will hear smth. Look at the August/September I-130 forum and you will learn more. Sorry for breaking bad news to you.

Oh my god. ......I feel for you hun......Not happy with anything going on anymore with this screwed up system. Was the airline ticket in the name of the your passport? My passport does not match any of my current docs but never had a problem traveling since I just had the ticket issued in the passport name.

I have to renew mine but dont want to change any names since it will require more paperwork and I am afraid that I will be issued a passport in the name of Jerry Springer or god knows whom - the way our government is screwing up left and right I dont trust anything they do anymore

I am sorry to hear this. Sends hugs from afar. and signsxxxxxx.

The tickets matched my passport. It the custom officer who just felt like screwing up smb's life at that particular moment. I went to find out how I can get my passport exhanged yesterday. They have not issued a single passports since October. So chances I get mine soon are zero. Russian plus American bureaucracy equals a NIGHTMARE.

Hi,

I've mailed my I-130 to Nebraska on 11/8/2007 and received by the office on 11/13/2007. As of today, I have not received any receipt notice and my check has not yet cashed. My husand and I are very anxious and worry. I don't know how much longer it would take for them to at least look at our application. Does anyone know that since Nebraska says all form are processing current at their location, does this mean that they are not delay?
