I didn't have a translator and i don't think that they give you one... the consul is the one who decides are you approved or not.... the only thing that he asked me was 'how long do u know each other'.....and then he pulled a pic and asked me where was this pic taken...... that's all........... but i had already a visa before on 10 years it was a B1/B2


Thank you--Hvala ;)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 is taking more than 5 months - April Filer

I know it's hard, but try and focus on something else, to get your mind off of it.  Last year my wife's I-130 took nine months, and another four till she had her visa in hand.  Like watching a pot, waiting for water to boil, it can drive you crazy.

 

I used to get pissed, when I'd see approvals for people that filed after us, or the expedites getting finished in just a few months.  I decided to take a break from VJ, that helped.

 

You will be through the process before you know it, and all the separation will be a distant memory.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2014 I-130 Filers

We just got the email that my step son's I-130 was approved today.

 

NOA-1 on April 11, 2014.  Nebraska service center, never transferred.


Natalie and BruceNot TellingUkraine2014-09-10 09:54:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2014 I-130 Filers

My step son's petition ended up at Nebraska,  04/15/2014 NOA1.  I'll be surprised if we hear anything before the seven-eight month point.  My wife's petition (filed last year, in May) took nine months.  14 Months total, from NOA1 to her having the Visa in hand.   She wanted to wait until the court granted her sole custody, before we filed for her son.

 

I'll bet the April filers getting approved are all DCF, or expedites.  The rest of us have just begun the wait.


Natalie and BruceNot TellingUkraine2014-07-07 19:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2014 I-130 Filers

I just got the NOA1 for my stepson.  Nebraska again :( .  The NOA1 date was 04/15.

 

My wife is currently at the NVC.  Her I-130 took 276 days, eventually transferred to Nebraska.  I hope it's not another year to NOA2 for my stepson.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 I-130 Filers

i received this please tell me what it means 

 

Post Decision Activity

On February 10, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

 

Congrats to all the recent approvals!

 

Anyone know why some get the notice that it's been sent to the State Department, and others (like us), the email just says it's been approved?

I'm still staring at the email, not sure it's real, but it says APPROVED!  NOA1 05/03/2013, transferred to NSC on 12/04/2013.

That's our PD, and transfer date to Nebraska.  No news yet.  I hope for an approval this week.

You are currently exceeding, or about to exceed, the Nebraska Service Center processing times of 8.5 months. I suggest you call them again and ask for a service request, which I believe you are entitled to do once you exceed processing times.

 

No positive comments from my wife and myself I'm afraid, just sheer frustration and anger. Back in May 2013, I fully believed this process would be over with and completed, and we'd be getting on with our lives at this point. The onjly positive thought I have left is that we're nearing the end, and the NVC process that comes after this should be fairly straight forward and speedy.

 

The latest USCIS processing time update shows Nebraska at March 30, 2013.  I don't believe they will do a service request, unless you filed before that date.  Even for those of us that received the "60 day" letter with our transfer paperwork.  But I'm going to bug them like crazy, after 60 days.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 I-130 Filers

We are right there with you guys, filed first week of May, Transferred December 5th.  Our anniversary is the beginning of march.  It's just ridiculous it's taking this long.  I try and stay positive we are getting close, but then the thought of several more months at NVC, and waiting for the interview kills the buzz.


Natalie and BruceNot TellingUkraine2014-01-22 14:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 I-130 Filers

Two days ago was eight months waiting for us, tomorrow will be one month since we were transferred to NSC.  I really hope we hear something before the end of this month.


Natalie and BruceNot TellingUkraine2014-01-05 19:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 I-130 Filers

Then in theory, you should have an answer within 60 days of the transfer. I am still waiting on mine at, and am almost at 60 days.

In theory, we all should have been approved in five months, or so.  I don't have any faith in anything the USICS says anymore, but I'll give them hell if we don't hear anything in another 30 days.  

 

Hopefully you will hear something before your 60 days is up.

 

It's looking like the NVC/Embassy may be another six month adventure for all of us.  What a flawed process this has turned into.


Natalie and BruceNot TellingUkraine2013-12-30 22:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 I-130 Filers

Did you get a notice saying that you'd hear an answer within 60 days?

We did.

 

There was a "supplement  to I-130 transfer notice issued by the NBC" included with our transfer notice.

 

It says "If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from the service center within 60 days, please call customer service or submit an inquiry using e-request".

we are may 4 th filler nothing yet .. sad.png

Same here.  03 May priority date.  If I believe the USCIS website, the last time our file was touched was 08 May.  Still nothing, I'd be happy to just get transferred.

 

My wife reads a forum thats mostly Russian/Ukrainian women married to American guys, very similar to VJ, I'm guessing.  Today she sent me this timeline, from a may filer on that site:

 

Service center MSC ( Missouri ) :
 
- I- 130 Mailed May 1, 2013
- Petition Approved NOA2 on May 14, 2013
- Case Number NVC on May 23, 2013
- NVC sent DS3032 to Petitioner and Beneficiary by email on May 23, 2013
- Agent choice email sent on May 24, 2013 by email
- NVC received Form DS3032 June 4 (NVC approves the selection agent ) replied 2 weeks
- AOS bill received by mail from May 23, 2013
- NVC cash AOS bill on May 25, 2013 (status PAID)
- I- 864 affidavit of support delivered in NVC on June 6, 2013
- NVC generated IV fee bill on June 6, 2013
- Bill received by email on June 7, 2013
- IV fee bill payed on June 7, 2013
- NVC of Cash IV fee bill on June 11, 2013 (status PAID)
- DS- 2013 and civil docs sent to NVC on June 11, 2013
- DS- 230 delivered to NVC on June 12, 2013
 
- Visa in hand September 5, 2013
 
The poster claims no DCF/expedites.  Since it's the net, who knows.  But it's getting much harder to "keep the faith" so to speak.

Oh ok. Cool. When you say "passport copy" do you mean a notarized photocopy of the passport, or something else? Thanks again.

The way it's been explained to me, is that the US Consulate, in the country that issued the passport, can certify a copy of the passport, and that's acceptable to the IRS.  See the link in my post above, the instructions for the W-7.  It seems to support that.  I have seen a least one other thread here on VJ, and the USC said they did the same thing, had a copy of passport certified at the US embassy.

 

I hope the information I got is correct.  There is no way we are sending her original passport to the IRS.

Can you enlighten me as to what the ITIN is?  Do you have a link that explains it?

 

By the way, greetings from a fellow May filer from Ukraine.  smile.png

 

ITIN is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.  It's used in lieu of an SSN, under certain circumstances.  For example, filing joint taxes, when your spouse isn't yet a resident.  She will need to fill out a W-7, and provide some documentation with your 2013 tax return.  You should consult a tax professional for the best advise on what you need to do.
