Local US CIS Office Review: Houston TX Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : August 31, 2014 Embassy Review : Our interview was 11/22/2013 and was similar to most other reviews here for questions asked and documents requested. However, our I/O was not personable at all. When we were through she gave us a letter that said a decision has not been reached at this time and they may ask for more information. Our attorney asked when she might make a decision and she said a week ot two. We waited over three months to receive an approval of the I-130 and denial of the I-485 because my husband had left the US without an AP. Stupid mistake, yes I know. The approved I-130 was marked Sent to File rather than forwarded to NVC. I filed an I-824 in April 2014 requesting the I-130 be sent to NVC so we could do Consular processing. I was told by USCIS and NVC that this normally takes three weeks. It has been over four months and NVC doesn't have the file from Houston yet. I read about some people getting their decision and GC in a few weeks. Though it is our fault for no AP, I haven't seen my spouse in 9 months. And Harpa, please spare me your snarky response. This is intended to be a "support" group. Harassment Level : Very Poor

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
