Our date also changes, at the beginning it was Dec 3, now it is Jan...


I don't see any projection for my NOA2. The reason is only me and 2 other guys are there in VSC. Rest all are in CSC :)

I too have almost all the document ready for the NVC stage. I am only missing the employment letter as I want it to be as close to the NVC date.
I also have both of my wife's NBI (valid 1 year) & Police Certificate (valid 6 months?) in my hands. But I may tell her to get a new Police Certificate sometime in November. She have never lived outside of her country.


That's good thehfc! We are all very well prepared to be aggressive with NVC :lol:

Have you got your Police report already?


skynaut,

My wife is getting her PCC in November. PCC in our Consulate is valid for only 6 months. My employment letter also will be arranged at the same time. Rest all documents are available for us in the NVC process.

Cip, I noted your 2 year marriage anniversay on 2/28/2011 from other thread.

If your interview is on or around that date, just make sure POE in the U.S just after 2/28/2011, so that you can get IR1 (unconditional green card for 10 years) rather than CR1 (conditional green card for 2 years) GC. You know the removal of conditions in CR1, right?

Loto
LotofPatienceMaleIndia2010-09-04 20:52:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJuly 2010 CR-1 filers

So...

4-6 months + 1-2 months + another 1-2 months?


Best case scenario (moderately optimistic):

4+1+2=7 months

July filers' interview in Feb 2010 :star:

Loto
LotofPatienceMaleIndia2010-09-03 20:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJuly 2010 CR-1 filers

When should us July filers be expecting an NOA2? And the visa?


Based on average processing time, I-130 approval takes 4 to 6 months time. So, we should expect it Nov-Jan timeframe.

Approved I-130 will be forwarded to NVC.

Based on current timeframe, NVC can finish it in 1 to 2 months time.

Completed case in NVC will be forwarded to the Foreign consulate.

It depends on the Consulate, but typically another 1 to 2 months time for the interview.

Good morning Loto,
I do not understand what is happening at CSC :help: Seems to me that they increase the time betwen NOA1 and NOA 2 constantly. I have seen also some posts that say is because the Labor Day but is strange because are 5 days left until then. Are so many cases at CSC ?

Cip


Hey Cip,

Don't worry about that swing in CSC. Most people do not fill their timeline properly here. There is a little lag, but has NOT gone much. CSC has more number of I-130 applications (received and pending) and I think they have more adjudicators to process them as well.

Loto

Hey, I saw your nice family pic! Great!

Hi, I'm new to the site.

My husband (Albanian) was picked up by ICE on June 29th (his voluntary departure date was March of 2000, before I ever met him, so I couldn't help him with his illegal status problems).

We own a home and a restaurant and have two kids, 1 and 2.5 yrs old.
I'm a natural born US citizen. I'm working on my PhD in Biochemistry. I make $1600 a month.
We had to sell the restaurant. I had to leave the kids in Albania with him (can't afford daycare and better to stay with Baba than a babysitter).
Now I'm sitting in our 3 bedroom home alone. I put all the kids toys away where I couldn't see them.
I received the NOA1 on July 27th.
Now begins the waiting game.
It's going to be a long time before my family can come home.

I am so frustrated with this government.
They've known where he is this whole time. The house and restaurant are in his name and he pays his taxes in his name. Removing him seems so pointless. We employed 10 people.
They should fix the border issues so more ppl don't come in BEFORE they focus on deporting contributing members of the community.
Plus, I'm pretty sure I could dig a hole from Canada to the US with a teaspoon before the paper work clears.

Thanks for listening to my rant,

Alison


Welcome Alison to July group! Oh yes, nice story - had patience to read it :star:

Please let us know when was your I-130 mailing out. I have your NOA1 date. I can fill it in the spreadsheet and post it here. We collect all info in a single place for July filers to better understand the USCIS process, later NVC process, medical, Interview etc.
