IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports2 month still nothin from NVC

i got my noa2 on october first and i don't hear about nvc yet, it is normal?,when i call them they say you have to wait 8 weeks(so sad)

 

Yes, Nowadays it takes too long to communicate with the NVC. A friend of mine was approved in August 8th and received his notice late October. After he replied with the required documents, he hasn't received anything from the NVC yet. So my guess that they are very slow too.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsplease help! embassy said visa is ready then next day said to wait..

the medical is always required at the interview, not sometimes. Not sure where you are getting your information. The OP was required to do a new medical because the original medical was going to expire. 
 
To the OP, just do as they ask and hopefully you will hear good news soon.No one can estimate how long AP will last, there is no timeline for it. My husband had AP through Amman and it lasted 10 weeks.Best of luck.

I haven't seen your negative implications for a while. Anyhow, a couple of people that I know sent their medical to the embassy prior to their interview. If you don't know where I got my information from then don't bother replying and get to the point. You must have a very difficult life that causes you to keep people in check regardless of the main point.

If your point is more clear and better than mine then post it without the interference with your personal complications and ways of communication. That would serve a better purpose. I really feel sorry for whoever deals with you on daily bases

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsplease help! embassy said visa is ready then next day said to wait..

I am a US citizen 

I applied for an i-130 for my husband on sep/22/2012

we have been put in AP since then

after they kept on updating our case staus on CEAC every couple of days (to AP)

the embassy called my husband yesterday and told him to bring his passport & a new medical exam so they can give him the visa

then..today they called again & said not to bring anything..that there's still something that needs to be done..

he told them that he had already paid for the medical exam

they said then drop off your medical exam but don't leave your passport.

 

what could this mean??

we have waited this long & just when we saw some hope..it all gone again..

how long could this still take?

 

I helped my Syrian friend file for his I130. That is the normal process in Jordan. Sometimes they ask to bring the medical exam at the time of interview and other times they ask for some documents then give a decision. Don't worry everything will be fine sooner than you know inshallah ;)

Hey how are you? I'm so glad to hear that you got approved!!! 

My case transferred on December 9th and I hope I get approved soon too. 

 

To which service center was yours transferred to? and how long did it take to get approved after the transfer? I haven't received the transfer notice yet, so I don't know where its. I'm expecting that notice soon though.

You're lucky that your case has been transferred at least. Most of the cases that are getting approved and processed now are around Feb and March.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFor how long transfer / NBC Overland Park (kansas)
Just to give you an idea. When I first applied for my wife, I sent the file to CSC. NOA1 says Overland Park too.

I'm a May filer and I haven't heard anything yet. All I can tell you is to just wait because you're still within the time range.

On another note, be optometric since cases are moving fast now, which means the line ahead of you is shrinking faster than it was last month. I hope you hear something sooner than anyone expects.

Good luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - November 2013

Does NVC look at income before or after taxes?

 

I think the only way to determine your income is by your tax papers. Whatever you say in any form does not matter. To avoid any potential delay, just look for a cosigner with you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecrease wait time for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

 

Right now you are at NBC. There is no timeline you can follow right now as the only petitions being approved by them are either DCF or expidites, and those are coming from Lee's Summit.

USCIS are in the process of transferring April filers. It is reasonable to assume that May filers will be transferred to service centers as well, probably in Dec.

 

 

There is no Overland Park to look at. There have been no approvals coming out of that place. Any approvals from NBC have been from Lee's Summit.

This is the reason why petitions are being transfered to other service centers. USCIS's shiny new toy "the Division 8 in Overland Park" was supposed to be operational end of Sep. Its not. 

 

Thank you... I hope May and all filers hear something soon. The backlog doesn't make sense because cases will keep piling up. I hope some new order or plan comes up to fix this.

There you go... now the National Visa Center is an average of 12 months and California is 7.7 months ...

 

My spouse is overseas and my case starts with MSC.. I sent my case to California, but the NOA1 says Overland Park. Which timeline should I be paying attention to?

If everyone is expedited, no one is expedited. 

 

I meant "expedited" as in considering the timeline back to the average of less than 6 months rather than over 11 months.

OMG... your timeline states that you had 21 days between NOA1 and NOA2. I'm sure you understand my point sleepy.gif

What is your right exactly?

 

I am only talking about my right to ask for quality customer service in a proper manner, which may be performed by interacting with the public officials and maybe the government to expedite everyone's case.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDecrease wait time for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

Immigration is a privilege, not a right. You are still within the normal processing times. Just because you are a citizen doesn't give you the right to bring anyone here.

 

It's my right to ask for a quality customer service to which I made a payment to. Thanks for the reply, but it seems like your perceptual thought made a quick reply that is irrelevant to my concern. I also understand from your response how far your elaboration can be, with a pessimistic concern, about deciding to comment on a small portion of my topic and intentionally ignore the big picture. ????... ?????? ????? ??? ?? ??????

Please copy my post and spread the word
I've been waiting for over six months to get my NOA2... nothing yet ranting33va.gif ... I am only asking for my right.
1. I paid a price of an application to get it processed and I deserve quality service.

2. I am a U.S citizen and I deserve an easy process and quick process that can ease my life as well as my wife's.

 

I just signed the petition "President Obama, USCIS, DHS: Decrease wait time for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative" on Change.org.

 

Over 1200 people already signed this and about 723 are needed.
 

It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

 

under what situation you applied your expedite request at the NVC.?

 

It was only a letter explaining a family hardship. 


Does anyone know what happens when an expedite is grated through NVC? They approved mine to expedite and when I called they said it will be forwarded to the embassy abroad.


mksobeNot TellingJordan2014-02-04 09:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014
I called the NVC to ask about my case that was approved back in December 18th of 2013. They told me that they have granted me an expedites request based on the hardship letter that I forwarded through my congressman. The only information they had for me is the issuance of a case and invoice number about a couple of days ago. When I asked about further steps, they said since I've been approved for an expedite, the case will be processed through the embassy in Amman, Jordan. I'm assuming I have to wait a couple of days for the case to reach Jordan.

However, does anyone know what's next or any of the next steps? Or what I should expect since NVC forwarded the whole case to the consulate in Jordan?

wow.  from MSC13910615611 to my case number, there's around 100,000 files in between.  I hope they get all these churned out pretty quickly (I'm may 14th).

 

I'm May 14th too. and my number is MSC1391144XXX

 

I don't think the number sequence goes on with the date because of the distorted offices and different types relatives of the I130 application. Also, VisaJourney is only a very tiny fraction of applicants. So, not all applications are pending, transferred or going exactly like what people indicate here. 

 

Keep in mind, not all people go online to discuss their immigration cases. Most likely, those who have been randomly waiting for too long. I still see people who are being accepted within the 5 months range but they don't care to research or go online to discuss their waiting time. Not because they don't care, but maybe because they have other things to take care of, or they don't work near a computer.
