IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

Ok every one now i got totally lost we got this notice today im not sure what is going on

I-797C Notice of Action
Case Type: I-130
Notice Day: February 23 2011
Notice type:Transfer Notice

Preliminary processing of the above application has been completed and it has been transferred to the USCIS office at :

12484 Weaver place centennial CO 80111

That office will notify you when they schedule an interview on the application or petition. Any further inquiries should be made to that office

so what does this really means i was thinking ether getting back to California or getting approved but i would never thought going to Colorado
i mean that where our house is but i dont get it please some one help me to have an idea what this means


Uhhh Posted Image Posted Image It might mean an I-130 interview is going to be asked since you say your house is in Colorado, so they might be sending it to a local office.

Hi all,
Just getting to know VJ and i am loving everything i see. I am truthfully getting obsessed. Just don't know how to sit still and wait for number to be assigned.
Anyway, i am joining this forum so Saylin can you please add me to the spreadsheet or is it late cause i am already out of TSC and waiting on NVC number.
Thanks,


You're already on the CSC to TSC spreadsheet. As soon as you get a case number, I'll add you on the NVC spreadsheet.

On March 9, 2011, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

Yay!!


Grats! Posted Image You'll probably get your case number early next week!

Wahoo...! Called NVC today & operator verified my cases were there! :dance:
I didn't get a case# (didn't ask for one either...)but I presume maybe they haven't gotten that far yet. I believe the next step is for NVC to send my lawyer all necessary paperwork /request for payment(?) I feel good knowing I'm officially out of TSC/CSC and on to the next phase! Woot!!


I'd suggest calling an operator back and seeing if they have a case number and IIN for you. You never know ;)

Dang your fast, I just clicked on the spreadsheet to see my purple color and was expecting it to say the 8th and it was already the 7th.

It is much harder to find my name in the sea of purple.


Haha, as soon as I see an update from someone, I immediately update the spreadsheet :D

And yes, definitely harder to see people in the mass of purple now Posted Image
SaylinFemaleCanada2011-03-09 17:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

It was actually assigned on the 7th. I was surprised we got it so quickly.


Wow, just 7 days. You're right, that was relatively quick compared to others from the TSC refugee camp. Grats again!

Hi Dear, hope you enjoyed your weekend :P

Her dates are just like mine. July 20 receipt, July 27 NOA1, Nov 3 CSC to TSC, Feb 8 RFE
Thanks Saylin


Added her right underneath yours. Hope you hear something soon about her case!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

Hey guys, can I fill out the Affidavit of Support form now (I have already paid the fee), or should I wait for a letter from them?



You have to wait for the AOS bill to appear as PAID so you can print out the document cover sheet, and only after that can you send it in.

17 people, I think I should create a timeline for her too...

This sucks :crying:


I can add your daughter's case to the spreadsheet. Just give me the dates (NOA1, transfer to TSC, and then if applicable: any dates of transfer to USCIS office, post-decision activity, transfer to CSC).

Hello NVC case number :D


Grats! When was the number assigned? 3/8? I want to update the spreadsheet accurately Posted Image


Got my NVC case number on 3/8. Yeee-haaaaaaaw B-)



Grats! Posted Image

Or...keep trying to login to the payment centre to see if the bill was generated....

Reading does wonders doesn't it??? And VJ is heaven for visa filers!!! Thank goodness for this site, I would be lost in translation somewhere without it right now.



Ya, just keep trying to log into the payment portal to see if the AOS and IV bill has been generated yet. Should be this week sometime.

hi mrs p , i totally understand you....now with the iin and the case number , go to the page and if is available pay the AOS AND send the 3032 they going to sent you the request, but i send the 3032 without they ask me for it.


For Canadians, we don't do the DS-3032. We have an online form to fill out that's equivalent to the Choice of Agent form.

greattt sayli , thank you so much. i thought i will have to wait until monday or Tuesday so i can proceed with the process , somebody told me that when you send the money in money order it last longer, i dont know , the money gonna be there this Thursday , but you know when im gonna know if is paid or not?


Nope, you don't need to wait, just send in your IV package.

I don't know anything about money orders, so I can't tell you how long it will take, but I'm guessing longer than the usual way of paying online.
SaylinFemaleCanada2011-03-08 20:43:00

hi sayli , can i ask you a question. can i send the iv package first, and then the AOS. this is beacouse, im gonna have to wait a few days until nvc receive 88 dll from a money order. but now the 404 said paid , i dont know if a should send the IV package , or should i wait to send the AOS .


You don't have to send the AOS package first. If your IV package is ready, then by all means send it.

How can they send you an email? Have you made your choice of agent,? Because that's the way you give NVC your email...I guess :blush:


Most people give the email addresses to an operator once they have a case number assigned. That's how NVC knows your email and sends packages to you instead of by snail mail.

We have good news. A week ago, one month after responding to our RFE, we received a letter saying we needed to wait another 60 days for a response from TSC. So (on Friday) we went back to our congressman. They contacted TSC immediately requesting an expedite, and we received an email today stating that we'd been approved. We are very, very happy and look forward to moving to the next phase.
:dance: :dance:


Best of luck to those who are still waiting - you have not been forgotten.

For the spreadsheet: I received my NOA2 (Approval) with a Notice Date of Feb 23. Still waiting for an NVC case #.

But then on Feb 28 I received an email notification that said

"Your Case Status: Initial Review

On February 17, 2011, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action."

It seems like another mistaken notification, since the date specified is before the date of the approval notice. Did anyone else get one of these?


Congrats on the approval! If you check the spreadsheet out, there have been a few notifications similar to yours AFTER an approval.

It's late for today but how about going to Quebec City for a day? Maybe tomorrow? I rented a car there and took my wife there on a Sunday it was wonderful. We saw Chutes de la Chaudiere. We went to that small street by the river with all those restaurants and shops and took the tram up to the big chateau with all the old buildings there. We walked around it was nice. Great view from up there! We also went to Chutes Montmorency. Wow did all these in about 12 hours while stopping from time to time to take photos. It's a nice city to visit especially if you like waterfalls!


It's funny, I've lived in Quebec most of my life (minus 2 years in Florida) and have never gone to Quebec City Posted Image My husband and I ended up watching the first Harry Potter movie and are waiting for Pizza Hut deliver so we can watch the next movie :D

Did you call the AVR at NVC or did you speak with someone at NVC to obtain your case number? If it was a person, what does the AVR still say? Just wondering. Congrats!



He said he called today, a Saturday, so it must have been the AVR as operators aren't available on the weekend. The message should go something like this: "The case number assigned by the NVC for this case is XXX##########. Your case was entered into NVC's computer system on MONTH DATE, 2011. The case number assigned by the NVC for this case is XXX##########. Please allow 6-8 weeks from this date for: the beneficiary to receive notification."

I hope you're reading this Saylin- tell your hubby you guys need to start saving up for law school!!!
