Abbi you tell us that for your request, I did not get any response for 3 requests, will someone help you, tell us the response on how many requests you have made

congratulations 🎊

kusum, I made three inquiries but got no response at all.

kusum, I don’t think there anything we can do just to wait, our turn will come to 🤞🏻

Congratulations! I hope I’m next - mine is January 2020. They skipped me.

congratulations Abby....hope they start working on i601a

aby I have question , how they notify you when you got aproved? they send you letter or your lawyer ??? thanks

I know, Leo, there are so many people waiting. I don’t know how the heck they decide which cases to work on.

Dardan - I have a USCIS account, and it emailed me that our petition was approved.

abby@If the response does not come, then you will tell us what you have done, we also decide some other way? some people with her will tell you what this center and Congressman request will you help me, what should we do?

I did two inquiries and an inquiry through my senator. I don’t know if any of them helped with processing my case.

Dardan - you can set up your myUSCIS account at https://my.uscis.gov/ this way you will get an email anytime there is something done with your case.

I did last night , thank you 🙏

Congratulations!! This is big news! my husband is March 2020 and he got his biometrics done on 12/15/2020 just one day before your husband. This really gives us hope. I hope we start to see more approvals from 2020!!

hi Abby! congratulations!!! were you Nebraska or Potomac? and what country is your husband from??

hi Sarah!! we are in Nebraska, and my husband is from Honduras. hopefully the visa appointment doesn’t take as long as Mexico…

ahhh my husband is also from Honduras and we’re in Nebraska too. our date is July 13, 2020. I guess we have a few months to go.

just a few months, Sarah!! I know it’s hard. it definitely ate away at us… but keep the faith. ❤️ 🙏

Abby , did the uscis transfer your case to nvc? what’s the proces ?? thank you

I didn’t do anything… I don’t think you can transfer a case unless the USCIS does it.

EV what is their date? I can’t see the page

u have to join the group to see it.

I joined but it doesn’t show any i601a approvals that I can see

ok thank you

@Robert - Cool! Where’d you see it?

I can’t see it either for some reason

their case was approved because they filed a writ of mandamus - this costs $5000…. his priority date was March 2020, so I don’t think it would be worth it?? unless you have tons of money …

oh yeah we can’t afford that. not worth it sadly. thank you Abby

I might not be educated on the matter, but wouldn’t filing a writ of mandamus make your case more “sensitive” like USCIS can deny your case? Please educate me. I do not know much about a writ of mandamus. If you go to the “Case Approved” tab you can see the case - they didn’t use a # so it doesn’t come up when you look for it that way.

Leo , I ask that question my lawyer he told me no it doesent make any difference , only they when you file mandamus the uscis will have 90 days to respond to you , you can file only if past 27 months no less ! in your case I wouldn’t spend all that money Becouse your so close

@leo- I don’t know much about the writs except they are expensive and you are forcing the USCIS to make a decision. In a sense, it can cause the USCIS to deny your case, perhaps if you didn’t have a strong case to begin with. our cases are subjective, and subject to the adjudicating officer’s review… so if you make them review your case, you are making them make a decision. if you have a cut and dry case, like an employment authorization (765, I think), that’s easy. our cases have layers, lots of checkboxes for the officer to check off, hardships to consider… I was originally contemplating filing a writ but realized that our cases need time and consideration. even before COVID, they had one of the longest approval timeframes. I guess what I’m saying is, as painful as it is, it’s better to wait. I know my case somehow was miraculously approved (I really do give all the glory to God, and it was a present day miracle for us), and it’s easy for me to say “oh just keep waiting” but in the end I promise each of us will see freedom, in some way or another.

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge, guys. Wife and I talked and we’re going to continue waiting and leave in the hands of God. We were little college students when we sent our application so we had enough evidence but nothing as strong as a kid, mortgage, etc. so we don’t want to risk it.

aww, that’s so cute 🥰 well, if it makes you feel any better, having kids together doesn’t guarantee that they’ll approve it. it all comes down to hardship for applicant and the petitioner. sigh.

Abby , did you hear anything from nvc? anything after i601a aproval ?? thank you

hi Dardan! we are preparing all of our documents for consular processing. my husband had to obtain a certain type of birth certificate and criminal record (which is none thankfully hehe) from Honduras so that’s taken two weeks… we are almost done though. this process never ends I swear. I hope you’re doing well. I know this whole thing is soul sucking.

Robert we’re so infuriated about the additional 6 months. glad we aren’t alone. feels like the day will never come.

I know Robert. trust me, I’m so thankful but always always mindful of how long all of us have been waiting. you are all on my minds and I freaking hope they approve everyone SOON.

Trust me all I know! this RFE is driving a bit nuts now - lawyer is advising to send ALL new evidence form the last 3+ years since we last filed. But it will ALL be worth it.

just seen someone got aproval on Potomac filed July 2019 got proved oct 27 ! it’s on Facebook

yeah Potomac has been approving way more than Nebraska for some dumb reason

my file I 601A In Nebraska center two days ago now say cas was transferred to jurisdiction any one know any idea why they move

singh@ why your case is so long?whts your receipt date 602a waiver? mine feb2020 nothing and also case was transfer
