An Interesting Thing Happened When I

[chinadave2001]

HI Bryan,

Seems like a long time ago since we were sitting togther on our way to China last June. I am very happy to hear that your case is moving along.

Also glad to see you involved here at CFL.

well I just pray it is correct and not meant to be 150-210 those damn zeros have so much value.

Receipt Number: LIN030XXXXXXX

 

Application Type: I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

 

Current Status:

 

Your I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was received on November 15, 2002. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 30 and 90 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete.

 

Hmm, although it didn't make any sense, I thought, well, here's another piece of good news in this ever so slow process. I posted my I-130 stats above. I wonder what's going on? Interesting to note the I-129F is also posting "between 15 and 21 days" (not for me, since mine was approved the end of February). I don't want to rain on anybody's parade but I don't think the posting time for either is correct. Let's just hope it's a simple fix and doesn't affect the actual posting time for our petitions!

Hi Dave,

 

Good to hear from you. Yes it does seem like a long time ago from June. I want to thank you for bringing me to this group. I hope everything works out for you. I was very sad to see what happened.

 

Please keep in touch.

 

As for everyone else, I did call the NCSC and the processing time for the I-130 is NOT correct. I was told that the timeline was still 16+ months for completion. The timeline for my I-129F I was told is correct.

 

Clifford, the I-129F is what the Visa will be issued with to both Parent and Child. The I-130 is only the petition requesting to allow parent and child to immigrate to the US. So don't worry, both will come at the same time.

 

Remember, you should check with the NCSC to make sure the numbers are correct for your case. As we all know, BCIS NEVER makes an error!

To error is human........................to really screw up you need BCIS

[turtle]

Wow, I got the same thing! NSC was 150-180 yesterday. Today it's 15-21! If this is true, I may have to drastically change my plans for this year!

[MoonCarolCafe]

WTF??? My I130 is also supposed to be done soon-- "It is taking between 30 and 90 days for us to process this kind of case."

 

This sounds too good to be true.

 

I'm not even going to tell her about the change in dates, it isn't fair to get her hopes up over a data entry error.

 

[edit]

You know, something is not right. If it is taking 30-90 days to process a case that has been in the system for approximately 240 days, then either they were using our I130 to cover the bottom of a bird cage for the past 8 months, or the number of days for processing is determined with the aid of a sigmoidoscope.

 

Why yes, I AM bitter. Someone please prove me wrong.

[Guest Se_Lang]

I called BCIS today they said I-129f for TSC was still up to 6 months so website was wrong

[warpedbored]

its back to 150-180 now

[Bryan_Qunying]

its back to 150-180 now

I just rechecked for my I-129F and it is still at 15 - 21 days. But the I-130 has been corrected back to the 16 month wait.

 

My I-129F was filed through NVC.

MoonCarolCafe,

 

At least you have some humor in the process, I had a good laugh.

 

I am certain that most of the processing time is spent with the application sitting on somebody's desk. Why else would it take BCIS 6 months between the "Reciept", and sending a letter that I had a typo in my application? Why would some people have to wait excessive time for the receipts?

 

In an era when people believe microwaves cook too slowly, and one can fly around the world in a day, why does it take the INS a minimum of 2 weeks to forward an application from the USA to the US Embassy in the destination country?

 

Anyway,

I still have some patience, but when it reaches minus 30 in Russia, and my Fiancee is subjected to another bitter cold winter, alone, my patience will be coming to an end. I really do not want to spend another Christmas without her, just because nobody wants to take the time to do a little paperwork

P.S.

Perhaps the forms aren't used in birdcages, but rather they need them for housetraining a new generation of drug and bomb sniffing dogs!!! Why else would we have to submit the forms in quadruplicate, each full of redundant information (it is odd that I haven't seen a single dog in an airport).

Where did that news come from? Had you mailed a information request?

 

Sorry to hear about the news....but, it's actually worse. If your situation is like mine, I was told processing times were between 35 - 63 days. In reality, it was 95. 30% longer. So, take those numbers with a grain of salt....not gospel.

 

If Prozac looses its efficacy, we always can try electroconvulsive shock therapy. Just trying to help.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/u/franky.gif

[Guest Se_Lang]

That was a paste from the BCIS website compared to the other day when it showed 15-21 days. My NOA1 also says 150-180 so no biggie but hey I can wish B)
