hi im the beneficiary.... i worked as a chemical analyst and a quality assurance associate.. but i dont have my certificate of employment when i resign as a chemical lab analyst during my last job... do the consulate question this?

My advice.. I would put the correct dates on the new form and maybe attach a note to say that you had made a mistake on the previous form. Just in case your employment details gets looked into. You will need to provide pay stubs if it was your last line of work, and if they dont match, it could be a red flag that may slow your case down while the correct details get investigated.
This is my advice only not the correct know-how. Good Luck

 

what is the G-235A? what kind of Ds form is that?

Just a quick update: Got my MTL case number. NVC received my file today, and it is still processing there. The NOA2 date was August 1st. Hope others get their soon. smile.png

 

Also, once you have your case number, you can check for updates from the DOS here: https://ceac.state.g...er/Status.aspx? Make sure to select "immigrant visa". This may be more convenient than calling to see when the consulate gets it.

 

hello... congrats,,,we are still waiting for our case number,,,  its been 16 days now since noa2... we gonna call this coming friday... thanks for the link and Godbless :)

I would suggest calling Friday and Monday if its not ready on Friday. This time don't waste your energy holding on the phone for a hour before someone pics up. Better to cal dos its quicker to speak to someone there. I only held for 2 mins.

 

ok thank you nurseling.. i will tell him to call this friday and monday nextweek... thank your :)


Steve&RoiFemalePhilippines2013-08-19 19:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Yes I believe it is 3 weeks so call either Friday or both Friday and Monday.one of those two day you should have gotten your case number.

 

when u called nvc or dos... what did thy ask u? my fiancee told me they only ask what is our wac# and they said no case number yet.... my fiancee told me nvc employee is rude...lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

what is the number of the DOS nurseling?

 

Let us know how it goes I plan to call Dos today myself since today is 3 weeks since we got approved. I am calling Dos cos I really can't take the waiting time for someone to pick up at NVC. Dos is quicker and they will give you the same information regarding the case number.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Well I guess I am considered a May filer since that's when they received and sent me my NOA1 receipt?  Or would I be an April filer since I mailed the original packet at the end of the month?

 

Anyway, I called NVC today once again and when the lady told me they didn't get it yet and the standard "wait 8 weeks" deal, I asked to speak to her supervisor and was told that they really hadn't received it yet.  I got NOA2 approval on July 29 and got the hardcopy few days later but have read some who got approval on July 25-26 who already got their case forwarded to NVC & have their case # already so hopefully mine's next!  Yesterday I sent my fiancé all the post-NOA2 docs as well so all we're waiting on is that damn MCN so she can schedule her interview already!

 

Actually, with the case # one can schedule both medical and interview, right? When do they schedule the medical....

 

yes.. we have in the same boat... im the beneficiary... i already finish the documents this week..filled up all forms..got my nbi...cenomar and im done... waiting for the case number so i can schedule an interview....

i'm hoping we could have the case number soon, fian?e will call them up Friday and i sent an email inquiry already. just re applied for the police clearance although i still have a valid one, they said they need a newer one, one that's at least filed just weeks before the actual interview so will just wait and see what happens there. i'm hoping to be done with medical on sept and schedule an interview by october. i'm still currently employed so that's keeping me busy while waiting.

 

prepare ko na lahat ng documents.. nbi clearance tayo diba.. nakakuha na ako nung monday.. nbi is valid for year.. no need na kumuha ng bago. hinihintay ko na lng iyong case number and then masend sa manila... then pa schedule agad ng appointment no need na hintayin iyong letter ng embassy.. hehehe..

I'm glad I found people in my same situation bc it feels such a long wait, 3 1/2 months so far.

 

I got excited when I got this update message on the USCIS website "On August 1, 2013, your name was updated relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)." bc we didn't request for any name change so I thought it meant we were approved or very soon to be. My fiance called them but they were not very helpful as to explain to us why we got that message.

I Called CSC Twice on Tuesday. Below are excerpts of my conversation:

“How can I assist you?"
“Yes, I filed seven months ago and I have not heard anything from USCIS. I am curious to know what is going on."
"Give me your receipt number and I can look up"
" EACxxxxxxxxxxxx"
"Did you not get the letter sent on May 7?"
My heart sank. I have been checking my mailbox religiously. My post office is known to deliver mails to other residents in the same building. Scenes of past such occurrences started flashing in my head. All I could say was, “what?”
"Officer sent you letter in May"
I came to my senses and asnwerd in negative that I had not received anything from any officer.
She says, “Your case is pending. It was transferred from Virginia"
“Excuse me!! I am not aware of any Service center in VA. Must be Vermont”
“Vermont or Virginia, oh I don’t know, but your case is pending”
"I know that, but would be nice to know if it is assigned to any officer"
"We have 100s of officers and Millions of applications like yours"
“Ma’m, I am talking about my case, not millions of cases. I like to know if my case has been assigned to an officer.”
Applications get assigned to officers when the time comes”
You mean my application is still in the shelves. On the filer
Yes, your case is on the first floor. I am on the 7 floor and this building has many more floors above me.
Thank you for that information but please tell me if my case is assigned to an officer
Applications get assigned to different officers at different times and stages. Which officer are you talking about?
I don’t know the officer myself. But I called on May 6th and a person at your officer told me it was assigned to an officer and is not on the shelves anymore. But, you are telling me my file is on the filer.
Immigration officers pick up the files from their buckets when they have time.
Ok, how about my child’s application. I filed both together
Give me the receipt and I will look on the system
Oh that file is bundled with the other one. Both of them are together. They were assigned to an officer 2 months ago.
Really
Yes, but I have not heard anything back for two months
Well, they are doing background check
What, background check on whom? Me? I am citizen, just acquired and went through all sort of background checks
Every application goes through the check
At this point I was getting amused by her responses. So I asked, “how do you do background check on 2 yrs old child.
Every beneficiary must go through background check, even children.
Children before the age of 16
Yes.
That convinced me she was giving me bs. So I promptly thanked her and hung up.

I will post the second part " Why You all Give me 20 Different answers to my One Simple Questions?" Next

I just paid for the AOS- $70.00 and am still working on the Affidavit of Support. My husband completed the DS-3032 and emailed it to the NVC, which we are still waiting to get a response from them.

I just called NVC in regards to a few other questions and was told that we will eventually have to pay $400.00 for the Visa application...is this true?


Thanks


God, i cant start to imagine what they do with the $400 bucks...wow!! these people must be rich..lol...maybe i should open up a company, and propose it to be done in $100....hey i am creating jobs!

Honestly I didn't get an I-130 approval until 250+ days after we sent it. Mailed it April 2008 didn't get our NOA2 until January 2009, and that's with no RFE's! I've heard they've sped up the process...but it's definitely a waiting game...


Can I take them to court. This is what I did when my N400 was stuck for 2 years. I filed WOM and them I got the things start moving and finally approval.
My previous enquiries regarding I130 case was that the "case required further review", what does that mean? This was in April 09.

You have to choose which to pursue
I'm told the K3 is the quicker way but I have found it seems to be the more expensive way
I don't care how expensive really as long as my husband makes it here sooner
I chose the K3 only after I sent all the fees for the I-130 cuz then I found out by calling the NVC that the I-129 had been sent to the embassy already
We are now waiting for the interview and reading the posts on here i'm getting scared that this will take over a year even though my baby has his interview on the 15th Alhamdulillah

Hello Everyone,

Alhamdulillah, I received a letter of approval in the mail on 06/01/09 for I129F. Wehn I called NVC in the evening, they confirmed that they received both applications from USCIS today (6/01). I am in need of some guidance here. I don't know what I should do at this stage to get things expedited.
I have follwoing questions:

1) Should I wait and do nothing while NVC processes the applications or there are forms/documents that I or my wife needs to get ready before I receive anything from NVC.

2) I have seen some members talking about a shortcut at NVC for I130, where I can find it?

3) Provided that applications have been approved, what should I do in terms of pursuing. Should I go for IR1/CR1 or for K3. Please remember the goal is to get my wife here as soon as possible smile.gif

4) I have been delaying my trip to Pakistan in the hope that I will be able to accompany my wife at the time of interview. I hear that it won't be possible. Is it true and will a Congressman or a Senator's assistance make a difference. I really want to be able to be with my wife at the interview, at least be inside the embassy. Any suggestions?

Any help/guidance will be much appreciated. Specifically, I would like to hear from members from Pakistan who have been through similar situations.

Thank you.




I upgraded my case on dec 8 and nothing yet after 2 years of pain in my N400. My wife is now taking depression pills since this july its our 4th Aniversary.
