IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVisa Issued 2 Days After Interview!!!

So happy right now!!! well my husbands ir1/cr1 interview was last week Thursday February 20th 2014. I was so nervous but happy at the outcome of the interview. He was approved! When i checked CEAC website Thursday & Friday it was saying Ready...Now I checked CEAC website and it changed this morning from Ready to Administrative Processing then couple minutes ago i checked again and it changed to Issued!!! That means by Friday DHL will have it ready for us to pick up...or maybe earlier who knows. So happy. Worried about administrative processing for nothing! Everything is moving extremely fast! I have to thank God and u vjers for all your knowledge and advice! Good luck to everyone else on their journeys!

 

 

congrats!  I am also pretty certain you will get a waybill number by tomorrow or Wednesday, meaning your passport  has been picked up by DHL.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsReceived passport & visa with immigrat packet ripped from DHL!!! CR1?s

Well my husband & i went for his passport with visa inside and the immigrant package to give DOHS at the airport POE. But when we opened the DHL packet, inside was the passpost and a big packet of papers. But whats so strange is the top left side had been cut out in a triangular shape so i could see all the papers inside...im wondering if this is normal because i know on USCIS.gov that they say specifically dont open the packet or else a fee will be charged at the airport! But in my case its somewhat opened already! What should i do? Also they issued the visa 2 days before our 2 year anniversary. And it ended up being a CR1 visa. But i was reading online and it says i have to file to remove conditional residence 90 days prior to our 2 year anniversary or they can have the green card revoked!!!! How can i do that when he hasnt even reached in the US yet (we are goin next week) and our visa was only issued two days before our 2 year mark???

 

 

That triangular cutout is normal,  as they usually are; just dont open anywhere else.  It does not matter that your visa says CR1, what matters is the time you make your POE into the US.  Obviously its going to be after your 2-year anniversary.  Just make sure to point out to the immigration officer there that you are now beyond your 2 year anniversary, and they will make the necessary adjustments to make sure you get your 10-yr GC.

 

Remember you will be required to pay the $165 fee to have your green card processed.  You are encouraged to pay this fee before you go even though it can be done getting the US.  Just remember that the card will not be processed until payments are made.

 

Congratulations!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDS 260
Sorry guys i asked this in the nvc thread but wasn't answered. Will be grateful if someone can verify this.

I'm having a bit of a confusion now. According to my dad's lawyers everything was sent on march 15. I've spent a good three weeks calling nvc and they still having received my AOS /IV etc. today after speaking to nvc I checked online to find out the ds 260 hasn't been submitted. Is there a case or any exception of the ds 260 not being filled/submitted online? I mean I can fill and submit it myself but need to know if there's any other option.

Lastly how long after receipt of IV/AOS packages by NVC is it logged into their systems?

Thanks!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHas anyone ever received this email from NVC before?

Hello fellow VJ'ers! Well this morning i received an email from NVC stating this:Dear Sir or Madam:

The National Visa Center has received all documentation necessary to complete pre-processing
of your case. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner
and attorney (if applicable) will be notified.

I thought that if you did electronic processing then you would receive an email stating case complete? I mean not that I mind but I got my hopes up thinking it was my interview date letter. Is this the email they send you before they send out the email with your interview date? Or is it just one of there regular e-mails? Thank you for your time guys! :)







Thats your case complete email girl .... Whoot whoot !!!
Now you have to wait june 1 see if you get your interview , remeber DR gives out citas the 1st of each month !!!!

Good luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNEW YORK CITY LOCAL OFFICE ?

Where were the NY cases being done prior to Aug 2012?



Check this out !
Q: Please provide any updates on any new NBC initiatives that are either currently in process or are scheduled for FY2013.
A: NBC Timeline of Changes in Workload and Processes:
August 1, 2012 - NBC stopped shipping interview waiver I-485 applications to the California Service Center (CSC) and began adjudicating those cases. CSC will complete the workload that was pending as of 8/1/12.
August 15, 2012 - CSC and the Vermont Service Center began shipping stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions to NBC. NBC ships I-130s to the field bi-weekly based on jurisdiction (ZIP code). There are two exceptions to the petitions sent to the field: those that are foreign filers, and expedite requests. Once NBC is staffed for this workload in 2013, we will assume jurisdiction of the stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions.
August 15, 2012 NBC assumed jurisdiction over all new I-90 applications. The Nebraska Service Center will complete the workload that was pending as of 8/15/12.
September 20, 2012 NBC modified the I-485 initial evidence review process for family-based applications to provide staff for new workloads at NBC. NBC will resume the normal process when we have the staffing capacity to perform the work.
October 1, 2012 USCIS Lockbox Operations began assigning MSC receipt numbers to stand- alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions and shipping the petitions to NBC.

December, 2012 NBC will expand to a second facility in Overland Park, KS. Forms I-90 and I-130 will be processed and adjudicated at this facility.
2013 (exact date TBD) - I-601A Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver will be adjudicated at NBC. NBC plans to train officers and staff in February 2013 for this workload.
USCIS has provided information to the public regarding the Workload Transfer from Service Centers to Field offices .

Uhoh. That means i shouldnt expect anything until august.


It honestly depends !!! Like i said i can count how many ny approvals i seen with one hand since october 2012 when i applie am one of them , izabella below is another one

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNEW YORK CITY LOCAL OFFICE ?

 

i understand but i have now 6 months waiting and according to them thats how long it takes i guess ill just wait till june btw did u do an infopass ?? was it helpful at all or did it move your case along?

 

I did 2 info passes but only went to one and that's the answer I got . A few people here have gotten the same answer.

 

remember they started getting these cases as of August 2012 so I am a summing that this process is new to the NYC local field office and you know government agencies sometimes work fast other times they work slow.

 

if you want do the info pass so that at least you get some type of piece of mind. 

 

Good luck

i would like to have an idea of how fast is the new york city local office approving these i-130 cases. please post you experience and timeline if you can thanks:D

 

Laurie1015  for me it was approved in 4 months and a week I applied back in October however there are people on VJ who have not yet been approved.

 

If you want you can do a infopass but they are just going to tell you that they have over 5000 cases since October waiting to be approved and that no adjunctor has been assigned to your case.

 

I just think you need to have alot of patience and faith to get through NYC local field office , I can tell you that once you are approved they do send the cases right away to NVC .

 

Good Luck !

Good day!

today I got a text from USCIS with the receipt # beginning with MSC, I have read that is when the cases are being transferred to the "local office" is that good or it does not mean anything than the normal long time of waiting?

Thanks for reading.


AHHHHHH !! i remember my MSC days ! basically you are processed by NBC but your file is transferred to the local field office.

Field office approves you and NBC sends you the NOA 2 lol ~
