IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

For some people CSC seems to be very productive and quick. For some people it has been over three weeks and no word from them yet... Let's hope for a good week now! :)

Deep35472, they are definitely working on your I-130. Though I still have the same status forboth I-130 and I-129F - both have been transferred are being currently processed. We will see.

Congratulations, everyone! I so look forward to the same news on the rest of us! :)

Congratulations on all transfers and approvals! This is awesome news and we all want this news for us asap! :)

 

I start worrying that it has been 18 days since my transfer and there is nothing new... People get approved who have been transferred later than I was (2/3) and whose PD is later than mine (8/12)... Why is that?

 

Is it possible that these early bird cases are very straightforward? No prior marriages and no kids? Can some approved folks voice their opinion please?

aditya3245, thanks :) But I am a sister rather than a brother :) 

What main sources do you use for gathering the documents for NVC? It seems to me that there are so many links and discussions, but it would be helpful to simplify the process and use one or two links that contain the necessary information.

I really want an approval soon. I see that many of us who have been transferred on 2/3 are still waiting... 

 

It is horrible how this waiting changes our lives, brings down our careers... because we cannot plan, just wait and wait... I agree, however, that we should be thinking about other things that make us happy. Sometimes it is hard though because these documents become our priority. People do not look at you as a family, but as a single person whose husband is somewhere and it is unclear to many why we have been apart for so long. While I generally do not care, gradually all these words of other people get into me...

Thank you. Very helpful. Will tell my husband to look into this.

B & G, thanks a lot. 

 

Can someone advise whether it would be better to file married jointly provided I, the beneficiary, have the SSN?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
B & G, thanks a lot. This is very helpful. 

 

What is the ITIN number? Does it make a difference if I already have a SSN and have lived in the U.S. for a long time before our marriage?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers

This is fantastic! Congrats to all transferred beneficiaries!

 

It is amazing how common problems unite people... 

 

I am waiting for approval for 16 days already... I hope it will be soon. 

 

Also, can you please tell me how your U.S. petitioners filed taxes? Should they do it now or after approval (I think there is no difference, but maybe I am unfamiliar with some details on that)? How should they file if we are married, but live in different parts of the world?

Is it true that there is an app for tracking the case?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
waiting_______, did they approve your 130 form or 129F? We have also applied for a K-3 visa, but I thought they kill 129F and deal only with 130. Isn't this the case?   Congratulations anyway! This is super news!

So are police reports/criminal records certificates valid for only 6 months? How do I get one from the US if I am not there?

Another question to you all - If my husband files taxes as "married", does this mean we should live together? As of this moment, we do not live together and I am not sure how he shoukd file...

Thanks for your tips!

Congrats, everyone!

Someone mentioned 2-year home residence requirement under J-1 visa. Do you know how carefully they are checking every day? When do they check it? At the embassy during the interview?

I have a question: on the hard copy of the transfer notice I have nothing in the "priority date". We only have "receipt date" (Aug 13) and "notice date" (Feb 5). Is this a problem we do not have a priority date? Maybe it is because of our 130 and 129f submission?
NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-11 11:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
Kurosakii, I think we have the same case. Both our petitions were transferred to CSC. This means that most likely our 129f will be ignored and "killed", and they will place us toward the IC/IR visa based on 130 form only. Let's wait and see.

Good luck everyone!

Both my 129f and 130 have been transferred to California!

Hi everyone. I got my third email today, but the first two definitely mentioned "local office", but the third one says the following:

"The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office."

Is this normal?




NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-07 01:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
Same for me. My husband called and they said they have no clue where the 130 and 129f forms went to. I guess we will find out only next week when hard copies of notices will be received.
NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-06 10:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
129f date is aug 20, 130 date is aug 12
NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-05 09:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
So I checked both status confirmation numbers for 129f and 130, and they both were transferred to a local office. So does it mean they will kill my 129f and will move me to the IC path?
NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-05 04:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
Can someone please answer my question? What will happen if my 130 is approved, but my 129f has not been touched yet? Will i be transferred to the ic/ir path? How long is the wait after 130 approval?
NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-04 11:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
I think the applicant can call and ask already now. You should allow one week for the letter to reach you.
I have a question: if 130 is approved and I was on the k-3 visa path but heard nothing about 129f, what would happen?
NastechkaNot TellingBelarus2014-02-04 09:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAug 2013 I-130 filers
Got transferred on 3 February!!!

My 130 notice of action is dated 20 August , but the NBC received it and entered into the system on 12 August.

My 129f is dated 6 September, but no news yet about this one

Hi everyone. While I am on the K-3 path, it seems that the timing for I-130 is the same here. Could you please include me in the chart too? My NOA1 for I-130 is August 20, 2013.
