So right!

 

This info is very useful and up to date. My heart goes out to those of you caught up in this delay. It really reeks of the Black Hole days in that you can't really get a handle on how long all this is going to take. Hang in there folks.

I think if it help or save one woman or one child from bodily harm , it is a good law

I don't think we are objecting to the law or its intentions. We just want them to act on it and send out the RFE's so we can get back on track.

This is one of the better breakdowns of the IMBRA law I've seen. It may already be out there, but even so, it's worth noting more than once....

 

Based on a very few unfortunate cases around the country of a foreign lady spouse who became a victim of domestic abuse, Congress passed a law to, understandably, offer some protection for these immigrant women. The law was passed as part of the passage of the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization of 2005.

randy's comment in another thread to watch VJ was a good idea..

 

There's lot's of chatter over there, but here is what appears to be happening:

- K3s report lots of touches, but no evidence of RFEs

- K1s report lots of touches and evidence of RFEs

- The Service Center must have the petition in hand to issue the RFE, so if it's being recalled, it will take longer to get the RFE (depending on where it is it will follow the same path backwards--Post>NVC>USCIS)

- VSC is already out of the gate with sending RFEs

- You will not get any notice that your file is moved from here to there, etc.. but you should be able to see online the status changed to "Sent RFE" if your getting one.

someone at VJ reported getting the RFE and described it:

From Visa Journey, the only RFE received to date is for a K-1 from VSC. That petitioner has already returned the RFE. USCIS is still telling everyone who calls the 1-800 Customer Service number that K-3's will not be affected, ha ha ha!!!!

Good explanation of the holds on I-129F's

FYI: VJ is reporting that the RFEs from CSC look different that the ones from VSC... so be careful when comparing your version to the VSC one.

rumor has it at VJ (with an inside source cited) that cases at CSC are getting help from VSC, without public notice...

 

This is a little consistent with the compliants I had read at VJ over the last few weeks that VSC was not moving as fast as some expected.
