Our case is complete and final... My wife and daughter are flying home on Friday 21st landing in USA on 22... I wish you all success and happiness...what a experience it has been with all... you are all wonderful individuals... and you know all of you that have helped, listened, and shared thoughts in messages... be safe, be careful.. and wish you all the best life has to offer...

after you case approved, did the NVC combined you wife and daughter cases and give you one case and IIN number or they give you case number for each,,,thanks

NVC received my file on 3/12 and I called today and they confirmed that they haven't received it and talks about the same phrase ' wait 30 working days'.

 

I know i sound over optimistic but would have been great to get the NVC # around this time.

if they said they haven't received it, how do you know they got it 3/12??

Hi, Saylin..

 

You read all posts here so please let me know if you heard like my case before.

I think one guy post here and his name was Monique Lewis.

I am trying to find his profile but I just can't find it.

Check this one

 USCIS don't have my case over their anymore.

They only can see my last update about  approval on Feb 21st and shipped my case to NVC on March 3rd.

 

NVC got my case on march 11th and now within 7 days, they sent back.

If you have a copy of your file  (I-130 form and the supporting documents) you sent to uscis, I would go over them and make sure you got everything done right, you may missed something and uscis did not pay attention to it, sounds weird but  it is possible,,,and I think what is going to happen if something missing, uscis will ask you to send it or correct it,,,keep us updated,,,

Talk to NoelAnne.. Her K-3 is being processed as we speak so don't jump the gun on spreading the " administratively closed"  fable  !   The backlog is so bad at the NVC, Some K-3s are squeaking by.. So that is what I am hoping for.   I know the K-3 process well.  I waited too long for my NOA2 .. If I can avoid all this NVC nonsense.... That is what I am gong to do. I don't care about the additional $1000 dollars.   If I have to do the I-130 then so be it.   I will be calling for my K-3 case number and following it to the embassy. 

 

 

Does the TSC send out a notice that your case is sent to the NVC?  Yesterday  I received 3 responses to all  the service requests I sent over the last few weeks. One response stated that it was responding to 3 inquires all at once ( LOL)   anyway, the response form TSC said my case is not with them anymore, that is was sent to the NVC and gave me all the contact information in the response.   SO, is there an officially shipped notice?  Will I get a text?    Just wondering

I agree with you, I got approved for both and I need to go for K3 to avoid the wait on I-130, I waited enought to get my NOA2, and same here do not care about 1000$, I just need to get my family here faster, Do I have to file a waiver to get my K3 processed instead of I-130?

Hi Saylin,

 

I got approved for my wife and daugher, since I have two cases (2 I-130s), do I get two case number from NVC and have to do everything twice (AOS, IV pachage) or they are going to combine them into one case (one case number) and I just have to send everything once..thanks

I didn't ask anything. It was a lady on the phone that picked up the call and asked for my receipt number and I gave it to her. She told me that they received the case and will assign the case number soon by up to 30 days. Did they receive you case yet because case number will be assigned after that. I am going to call back tomorrow again if i get a change. You should keep calling them too.. 

thanks!! I will call again!! hwn i called the lady asked for my receipt number aslo and when i gave it to her, she told me is not in the system yet and i need to call back in 6 weeks):

I just called NVC and they received the case!!!!dancin5hr.gif  Hopefully get a case number sooner than later 

I  called today around 745am since I have same NOA2 date and from NCS, they told me it takes 6 weeks, how did you ask them, because i know it takes time to scan them into the system and that when you get your numbers,,,

Different reps. from NVC told me the same thing the first calls I made inquiring about our I-129F, but when they knew our I-130 was also there they just said that they will make a decision regarding the I-129F. This one never left the NVC.

 

In case your I-129F gets to the embassy first, yes, you can choose not to pursue the K3. When you receive any instructions from the embassy related to the I-129F, you can just email or call them and let them know that you're processing the I-130 at NVC and that you don't want to apply for a K3 visa. They know how it works, so that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Our USCIS case numbers start with MSC (Missouri) but our NVC case numbers for I-129F and I-130 start with BGT (Bogota).

Thanks for the great info,,,,,I have same issue,,,

when you get your IIN and case# , ask if the petitions are joined together, if they are you'll only have to pay 1 AOS fee.  are you a USC, if you are, you'll fill out i864w for your minor child.

thank you, yes I am USC

I have a question about AOS, I am petitioning  for my wife and my 2 years old daughter and since I have to separate I130 do I need to send (and pay) two separate AOS, also if I have to do that do I need to change any info on the I 864 (like the principle immigrant info part 2) I mean in one petition will be my wife and the other will be my daughter!!! confused,,,thanks

The two packages are processed by two separate departments in NVC. Sending them together has no special advantage (except saving mailing charges) and NVC clearly does not require it. The barcoded cover sheets are different. The addresses (ATTN: ) are different. If you decide to mail them together put them separately in two separate envelopes marked with their separate addresses. Then put both envelopes in a bigger USPS Priority or Express Mail  envelopes.

Mail the packages ASAP after the respective money is withdrawn from your account and not wait for the website to show PAID.

thanks for the answer, that is great help!

I see most of VJ send their packages sepertaly, is it faster to do this way, I know Sayline mentioned you can send them in one package (AOS and IV), just wondering!! and does NVC require to send them one at the time?? thanks

No. But if you think you'll work similarly this year and are paid the. Same you can use that amount.
There is room for more than one employer I think on the form.

Thanks, good answer!!!

Whatever your Salary amount is.. times that by how many times you are paid per year.  That is your CURRENT yearly income.  W2 and past income is not a factor in this.  They're asking for your CURRENT income, that you SHOULD make THIS (2014) year.  
 
 
Time to go read the wiki link from post 1.  :D 




Question, is it that same as my total income from my tax return without any other assets ? I get pay hourly but do not work certain hours some time I work 50 h a week some time I work 30 hours a week ( work as PRN), also I work in two different job!!! How do I answer that, thanks

Do you even need to fill out the I-864W for your daughter since she is not immigrating?  USC's are free to travel back and forth. 


mine were scanned 3 & 2 days after they arrived. It all depends on how much mail is received daily.


yes I have to, My daughetr is Imiigrating with my wife,,,however she will become USC as soon as she gets here..

Why do you have to redo ds261?? You should call them and speak with supervisor and send them receipt of ds261 if required. That just sounds crazy to lose 3 weeks like that. Good luck!

crazy right?? I called them and told them I already did it and it shows complete, he told me It usually take couple of days after the email sent out to update the status!!! just waitttt as their usual answer!!!!!

Thanks Hun you are such a sweetheart??



yes it is, I just wasted 3weeks for nothing, I just got an  email today to complete my Ds261 (which I already did 3weeks a go and shows complete when I log in) and another email with instruction to pay my AOS fee which still show not available) does it takes time after the email to invoice aos fee????

I have to send civil documents anyways, and honestly it's been so long since my initial packet I just kept thinking they'd ask for ongoing relationship documentation.  My husband will have that at the interview, but I also understand they kinda have a good idea if they are approving or not prior to the interview, so I'd rather send now if it will help our case.  I just didn't want the "extra" stuff to delay anything since they aren't asking for it.
