He had his interview today at 8am, he got there at 7:20, make sure you bring the DS 260 confirmation page in addition to everything else. He got his number, and they called him to the first window within 15mins. At the first window, the teller went through all of his file that the NVC sent. After the teller completed this, he told my husband to wait to be called again for the second window/interview. 10mins later they called his number again, this time the officer asked my husband questions regarding out marriage, what my occupation was and his occupation, asked about our child, and then the officer made my husband take an oath, and then he told my husband he was approved. Overall, it was a smooth process. We are now just waiting in his passport and sealed packet to arrive in the courier service, as soon as it arrives, we r booking his flight.

 

Thank you very much for the reminder!!!!!

I completely forgot about the DS260 confirmation. I sent an updated affidavit of support package (with 2013 taxes), a change of address memo and I sent a copy of the DS260 to my wife but I forgot about teh DS260 confirmation, at least I forgot that I sent it with the package.

I just called now and double checked everything. The DS260 confirmation page was with the DS260, but I remember told her that she does not need to give them that.

Now I made sure that she will give them that.

Thanks again. phew, what a scare!!!!!!!

Hi
I checked USCIS dashboard and got an update.

Post Decision Activity

On March 18, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department if State for the visa processing.

My question : Department of State MEANS NVC or NOT?

Please reply








 

Congratulations.

it is NVC.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 I-130 Filers (merged)

Hey Etrangais, I see you filed both I-129 and I-130, are you going for both, I know they say the nvc will cancel the I-129 and keep the I-130, is this right,,,do you have any kids that is coming here? thanks

Yeah, both I-129F and I-130 made it to NVC.

I already have a case # for I-129F.

With the delay in I-130 processing, the I-129F most likely will make it to the embassy and I hope they will process it. NVC told me today that the embassy might or might not decide to process the I-129F knowing the I-130 is approved also.

 

Some I-129F (for K3) made it all the way recently. I hope mine makes through also.

 

No kids, just my wife.

I recieved a letter in mail saying they have sent my file to NVC and that they will contact me within 30 days.today i checked on the uscis website and it says

On march 10, 2014 we shipped this approved case to department of state for visa preocessing. For further information contact them directly.

Anyone know whats the next step? I have not recieved anything other than the above letter in the mail yet..



 

You are good! That's you approval letter.

The next step is to wait about weeks and then start calling NVC to check when they received your case.

 

YOu can now start following the monthly NVC thread. Posts 1 and 2 have all the information you need:

Yes, i meant I-130 form

it must be a glitch in the system.

With I-130, they might ask for an interview, but I've never heard of them sending a document.

Have your wife call USCIS and talk to a Tier 2 (immigration officer) to find out.

Good luck

I have been following the July thread. I'm glad to see many NSC approvals since I'm waiting myself. 

 

I actually had 2 questions. I hope someone can answer- 

 

1. I am planning to visit my wife for 2 weeks. If my file is touched and should they request RFE. What is the general timeline given to respond back to them? Can anyone who has had a RFE tell me. 

 

2. Are RFE's sent thru registered mail or is it thru regular mail? I am asking this since no one will be home to attend a signature delivery. 

 

 

 

My         PD        07-11

TD to NSC-  01-03

 

waiting on NOA2. 

 

1. You get 89 days to respond to RFE

2. RFE are sent the same way as notice of action letters. regular mail.

 

I hope you get a straight approval not an RFE. I was expecting an RFE myself and I got approved with no questions asked!!!! :-)

Good luck

I've added an "RFE pending" column to the NOA2 table on our transfer spreadsheet. I know there are a few RFEs floating around out there and I wanted a better at-a-glance view of how many June filers still haven't received any action at all.

 

Stats right now out of 92 transfers listed:

-49 approvals

-6 RFEs

-37 "untouched" pending files

 

Just about 60% of June transfers have seen some action on their cases, which is huge progress compared to a week or two ago when we were holding steady around 40%. Sending positive vibes out to everyone still waiting, your time is coming quickly now!

 

 

Good luck to all June filers!

This is really insane!!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-05 09:12:00

ranting33va.gif crying.gif

16 days since they received my RFE , im soo tired of waiting it will be 9 months waiting next friday

hope to hear something before thenClockWatch2.gif  anyway can someone give me an estimate on how many months

Ill have to wait before an interview reading.gif I would appreciate it heart.gif

after approval, you must be ready with all necessary paperwork and payments as soon as they post them.

 

Once you get a case number from NVC, and if you are ready and answer them right away, it takes about one month and half for case complete.

and then it depends on your consulate

I think they approved me (July filer and January transfer) and some others to play with the numbers and dates again.

Even though I got lucky but I was making a lot of noise because my I-129F was beyond processing time.

I must have created like 5 or 6 service requests and I was calling them weekly and sending emails daily

 

I guess they got tired of me

Were you able to file the request online? I'm still getting an error about an incorrect receipt number when trying to make a request.

 

I had Tier 2 put in a request for me for the I-129F.

I tried to do it online for I-130 and I got teh same error message.

 

I just got a text that my Alien Registration number changed on my I-130. I hope I get approved soon!!!!!!!

This is what I got today from NBSC as a response to a service request:

 

"Thank you for your recent inquiry about your I-129F petition.

 

USCIS records show that this case was received by the National Benefits Center (NBC) on July 26, 2013.  The case was then transferred to the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) on January 6, 2014.

 

At this time the case is assigned to an officer.  Although assigned, we cannot predict the date the case may actually receive review.

 

If you have not received a decision or other notice of action on this case within 60 days from the date of this email, please contact us for an update."

 

I've been getting this "assigned to an officer" BS for almost two weeks now. God only knows when "the officer" will get to my petitions!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Estrangis I just thought about it that we think it's our bad luck that all of the June almost was transferred to Nebraska but atleast we r in this together. It must be harder for u seeing that almost all july filers were california and u got stuck with us. U must have thought why me lol.

 

The only thing that makes me very patient with all this is the fact that I know this is happening for a reason.
