My wife and I mailled our I130 on 01/22/14 and have been routed to the NSC.

Do you think our case will remain here for it's duration or possibly be transferred to another service centre/office?

Sorry to butt in, I realise this thread is for people already long into the waiting process..

Our timeline is below:

01/22/14 - I-130 package mailed to Phoenix, AZ lockbox

01/30/14 - E-Receipt, I-130 case received

02/03/14 - Received NOA1 hardcopy











 

With the chaos within USCIS, don't be surprised if you get approved before all of us!

Good morning everybody,

I was thinking since lots of us, from May, June and July that are still waiting for NOA2, are stuck in NBSC (short for Nebraska BullShi!! Center).

So I started this thread to actually keep track on the progress (or lack of it) of the NBSC.

Please leave a comment if you are still waiting for NOA2 with your PD date and date of transfer to NBSC.

Hang in there guys! I know it is hard to wait and feeling helpless and clueless!

Remember one thing, they can only delay you! They cannot stop you (unless they have a reason to).

 

Good luck


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-07 12:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnybody experience the same thing

What do you mean "closed"? was it "case complete"?

if so, you should be calling NVC first until you get confirmation that your case was transferred to the Casablanca consulate.

 

you can also email the US consulate in Casablanca, they never answer the phone even if you call them.

their email is: ivcasablanca@state.gov

 

Good luck

Anybody?

 

Question about I-864:

Page 2 of 9: Part 3: I am only sponsoring my wife. So, do I leave the boxes for other family members blank? or do I have to write "none" in all them boxes?

I've heard about people getting checklists for leaving empy spaces and I'm trying to avoid that.

Thanks

I  will not start the I-130 process if the K3 is sent to the consulate. It should be sent within 2 weeks from now!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-27 09:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

No NO   don't worry. They already paid one fee at the NVC.  They were trying to go with the K3 instead..

 

Its good that you don't have a case numebr for the I130 yet if you want the K3.    Hold out for a little longer

 

I just called to see if the horse and buggy delivered my case to the NVC.   The Bruja who answered told me again I have to wait 8 weeks...  I can't stand this process. 

 

That's good to know. Thanks LoveMyTico!

I will NOT start the I-130 process process then even if I get a case #!!!!

 

Waiting to see how NoalAnne's K3 process is going. Their medical is scheduled for tomorrow.


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-27 08:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

No, i said it before, i received letter with instructions. We didn't start anything with k3.
I wrote e-mail to Embassy to ask what to do because we're in the middle of CR-1 processing what to do next that we want to use K3. They explained me that since I-130 is approved and received by NVC, they can't proceed my K3.

 

Thanks for teh clarification


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-27 08:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

I received letter from Embassy since our I-130 is approved and received by NVC, our K3 has been canceled. :(

 

Sooo, here we go again, how long this yellow triangle for IV fee will be unplayable???

 

At what stage did teh embassy close your K3?

Did you pay any fees or schedule medical yet?

I really had high hopes for the I-129F going all the way! Now I guess I have to stick with the I-130! I don't even have a case number yet!!!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-03-27 08:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

I already called NVC twice today:

The first time I was told I-129F is on hold because of I-130.

The second time I was told that the it is not the case and the I-129F will be sent to the embassy. When I asked the lady on the second time what the firtst rep told me, she said that she could've made it up. I asked to talk to a supervisor and the supervisor confirmed that the I-129F IS NOT on hold because of the I-130 and that I will be sent to tembassy for further processing after undegoing necessary admin processing.

Who to believe now? NVC expedite told me (in an email) that it takes 2 to 4 weeks to send a K3 to the embassy. So, I'm on the third week now, 10 more days to go and we shall see

It looks like it is taking a month to get a case number for the I-130 after its received by the NVC... But what about the K3?  For people who filed the K3...... How long did it take to get your case number and for the embassy to receive your file?   

 

I can't stand when NVC blurts out some stupid ridiculous timeframe for receiving files via DHL.    I was told 8 weeks just to receive the file from TSC.  I just want to reach through the phone and strangle them.

 

For the K3 case number, they gave it to me next day after they received it

I get a different message verytime I call NVC.

I was told again today that my K3 is being hold because of the I-130. I'm trying to talk to a supervisor to try to have them either send the I-129F to the embassy or at least move up the I-130.

I called like 10 times and every other time I'm told the I-129F is undergoing admin. processing, and the other times I'm told it is on hold because of the I-130.

 

Get your SHI! together NVC!!!!!!!!!

me i have yellow triangle since day before yesterday, and in the middle of cr-1, today i received a letter from embassy that my interview for K3 is scheduled for April 17. :)

 

Are you going for the K3?

I really hope my K3 makes also to the embassy as it seems I have a long way to wait for the IR1.

Question,

Can I request a supervisor review at NVC stage for my I-129F? I have a case # for it but it has been there for two now and it should have been sent to the embassy already.

The answer I'm getting from customer service is:"undergoing admin. processing, no time frame". Thanks

Quick question regarding the police certificate for the IV package:

 
Do I need to get it right before mailing the package?
 

I got it last week and I was planning on getting the apostille and translating it to have it ready, but since I won't be mailing the package any time soon I was wonderting if I should wait and go get another certificate right before that.

 

it depends on how long it takes to expires. I know for some countries it expires within 3, 6 or 12 months.

Yesterday I was reading on the Costa Rica medical info page that if you don't have an immunization record, the doctor will discuss with you what  you will need.  Now that is for Costa Rica. The immunization rules have changed since 2008. They never asked for it back then but now it seems like they need all of that.  Thank god my mother-in-law has all of that info for my husband to take with him.

 

I called again today to check on the I-129F and they told me that it is still undergoing administrative processing at NVC. Todd (NVC customer rep) added that it is most likely because of the I-130.

On the other hand, The I-130 is still waiting for a case #.

My delimma is: you wanna close I-129F fine, but at least process the I-130 before or at the same time! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Saylin, congrats on your new job.

 

So I decided to fill my DS260 as its already available. Regarding the question, Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law? I dont have any vaccination records with me so I selected NO but it asks for explanation what would be the best way to answer it. Thanks.

 

Can somebody please answer this question as I guess lots of us are asking the same question?
