Certain I-130 Immediate Relative Petitions Are Experiencing Delays at the USCIS

Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a notification indicating delay in their processing of approximately 36,000 immediate relative petitions (Form I-130) that were transferred from the California Service Center (CSC) to the Texas Service Center (TSC). Some cases have been transferred back to the CSC. TSC and CSC are USCIS service centers.

As of February 14, 2011, the USCIS’ updates on the above cases are:

Approved: 10,264

Denied: 55

Request for Evidence (RFE)/Intent to Deny: 4137

Referred to District Office for Interview:  408

The petitioners or beneficiaries are encouraged to monitor their I-130 case progress on the USCIS My Case Status online at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do . However, by March 1, 2011, if the parties concerned do not see any action on their cases, such as an approval, denial or an RFE, they may contact USCIS at: I-130Inquiries.Tsc@dhs.gov
