IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

hi mrs p , i totally understand you....now with the iin and the case number , go to the page and if is available pay the AOS AND send the 3032 they going to sent you the request, but i send the 3032 without they ask me for it.


Hi Lara, can you tell me if while your baby's case was at TSC you contacted them directly? I'm asking because I just had USCIS on the phone regarding my daughter's petition and they refused to tell me any kind of info. The lady told me that they have new policies which state that they can only give information to petitioners. I told her that I had had information when my own case was pending. I'm so lost with all this :bonk:

It's really very hard not to be negative and paranoid about TSC. Several people who are not approved yet got touches on the 1st or 2nd of March, then nothing. I find it hard to resist believing they just generated a meaningless touch for us just to keep us quiet!


I don't know where else to turn to, I've got my case # waiting for action on my side, but TSC still have to process my daughter's...I'm going insane with all this sh****

Saylin is correct and this is exactly how I did this today - provided an operated with our email addresses. However, we are having a lawyer to handle this entire process for us, so NVC already had its email address and no Choice of Agent necessary for us as it's done automatically.


:thumbs:This is an everyday learning :thumbs:
Lidia & JBFemaleFrance2011-03-08 15:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

Most people give the email addresses to an operator once they have a case number assigned. That's how NVC knows your email and sends packages to you instead of by snail mail.


Yeah you right :thumbs: thanks Sensei B-)
Lidia & JBFemaleFrance2011-03-08 15:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

Great thanks!



How can they send you an email? Have you made your choice of agent,? Because that's the way you give NVC your email...I guess :blush:

Congrats!!!!!!! :dance: you should give them a few days i think :)
I don't have NVC # yet, i was told that my file is at their facility and was not put in their system yet, and it will take up to 90 days!!! ya right :blink:


Nop, my file was sent March 2nd from TSC to NVC, Saturday 5 I called NVC and got my case#
I think you should keep on trying again and again...:D

As more and more people get their approvals there will be less posts here. I'm just here waiting for a response from my RFE. Hope I get an approval by the end of the week.

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting. It has been 8 months since I filed my papers. This is ridiculous. I am not even going to be that happy when and if I receive my approval. This whole ordeal took all the energy out of me.


That's exactly the way I was feeling before my approval, but you'll see, you will be vary happy.

I truly hope me and you will have good news this week. They got our RFE responses since Thursday 3 so...good news are about to arrive :thumbs:Keep the faith

Got my NOA2 in the mail today!!

Also, I called today (Saturday) on the off chance the NVC had received my packet from the TSC. To my surprise they assigned me a case number yesterday.


So nice to be out of Texas.

Oh, that sounds lovely! Except, I can't go to the USA yet :P How about your hubby flies up to Montreal, then we head to Paris from there? Posted Image


You know it is most likely possible in a very nearer future, as my older daughter is staying in Paris (she is 21, and has got her own life here) she is staying in my appartment where I have place for you both, so... who knows...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

Just learned directly from NVC that if, within 15 days, NVC does not receive NOA-2 approval letter from the USCIS, we can scan it and send directly to NVC ourselves and they will assign NVC case number and accept it. However, only if it states on NOA-2 approval that USCIS stated they have sent the notice to Dept of State NVC.

I think someone has mentioned that in this forum a while back that it is possible. Just wanted to refresh everyone.

I am sure you will! Hang in there. You are almost there. I know it will happen any time now.



This's been like a hollywood scenario. A catastrophy movie, where people try to survive from evil things. All I want is just to have the right to be with my husband :angry:

Hi there I also sent my daughter's response on the 28, and received an email yesterday from TSC confirming they had received it.

Let's pray we'll be approved this weekend :thumbs:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalifornia to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

It has been 15 days since my NOA2, my case is "in the building" but I still don't have an NVC number. After being told to wait 15 days they just tell me to wait "another week, another 2 weeks, etc.". I feel like I'm back at the Texas Service Center. Is there anything I can do? Or do I just have to wait it out like TSC?

Thanks for any help, kind regards


You called TSC or NVC? I hope it's not stuck in the TSC mess :bonk:
Good luck

Keep checking your status you should be approved anytime now :) I am guessing today or tomorrow

but I believe Taylormadecouple received the status change a few days after the approval (might have been 2 weeks after mailing the RFE) so you might have to wait for an update till early next week maybe even over the weekend

good luck


yes you're right, the approval came out 11 days after we sent the response, status changed 4 days after approval

Hi everyone, been away from the forum 5 days. I sent my RFE yesterday overnight. I sent 3 affidavits, 2 trip details (trips made after filing I-130) with boarding passes and pictures and also a photocopy of our mutual credit card account (I was able to add her and get the card mailed to me in time). So I hope its enough. And if its not, well i am filing tax papers married filing jointly in the next 1-2 weeks so if they need MORE evidence of a bona fide marriage than I can make and send a copy. This RFE took a lot of energy out of me. Hope I get approved 2 weeks from now. To everyone still waiting for approvals keep your hopes up.

Congrats to everyone who got approved and I'm sorry if I missed anyone. It's been 5 days since I haven't been on.
