Approved! Approved! Approved! Wait while I change my underwear.... OK, changed. Approved!!! Holy Valentine, Batman!! I ran and told my housekeeper, e-mailed my boss, and called my best friend. Oh, #######, I need to tell my HUSBAND... hahaha... the timeline will get changed soon too, Darnell :)

I'm cooking... ummm... I just (yesterday) booked a trip to Northern Ireland for the last week of the month. I told my husband, wouldn't it be funny if... :D I'll wait till I get over there and then I'll cook up a storm with his chef brother!

After a waiting period of almost 8 months, the VSC finally sent NOA2 for both of my I-130s on 3/10/2013! :thumbs: NOA1 was 7/19/2012, so this has been quite a test of my patience. I'm very happy to be moving forward in the process! :dance: This should give hope to the rest of you July 2012 petitioners who are still waiting for NOA2.

Been a lurker for quite sometime....our NOA1 was on July 2, 2012. Got our approval on March 4, 2013. the weird thing was it initially said "alien registration number was changed" then two days later it showed it was approved on March 04....when I saw that man...I felt so light....it was a long wait hopefully the rest of the way won't take much longer. Yeah VSC is really backlogged, my wifey and I kept on fighting the urge to call then boom we saw the approval.

Amen!

The day before I was actually approved, I decided to no longer check my status online instead wait for my husband to call me and tell me his petition has been approved. I felt so sad that I went to sleep so early, turn off my laptop but forgot to turn off my phone and then early morning, my husband woke me up with his call and told me he called USCIS... bla bla bla... I saw an email notification on my phone but I ignored it. My husband and I were still on the phone talking, checking something when he received a text message from USCIS. I then grabbed my phone and check my email and then Viola! Petition has been approved. I think the Almighty just want to say, never give up no matter what. He never wants us to lose hope.

That's true...but what about when we are at the mercy of officials who can decide in one moment if we can be together or not?


If the age gap looks so obvious I would be worried

I didn't know that AOS can be submitted via email. 

I need to look into this. 

 

alas, don't confuse 'adjustment of status' with 'affadavit of support' 

 

especially for EP doc intake for CR-1, IR-1, IR-2, IR-5 visa chasing at NVC, casefiles headed to Guangzhou. 

 

'Cause if you did - that would suck, much.  


EP filling.
Will it be faster?
Will it be more reliable?
I just got my NOA2 and am thinking about the EP.

Dave




Dave - intake and processing speed varies over the YEARS its been going on 

but 

 

the timeticks and slicing get meaningful between: 

1.  case complete

2.  interview date set 

 

 

so study those a bit, EP vs NON-EP, for China/Guangzhou CR-1, IR-1 visa chasers in the China Portal timeline thingie.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 finally approved

you reading GUIDE2 ? Really? 

 

 

on what visa did you last arrive in the USA? 

 

and on the I-130, what were the answers in Q22, left and right sides?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 finally approved

I figured if would be general info to some of you that I could get a quick answer from. I didn't come here to be taked down to.

sorry you feel that way. 

 

in GUIDE2 - anything that is I-130 specific, just include the I-130 approval notice, and file the I-485 set. 

 

Query - what was written in left and right side of Q-22 on the I-130 form? 


DarnellMaleChina2014-10-05 22:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 finally approved

I looked up my case on the USCIS site and it was approved yesterday. I didnt get around to filing the i-485 yet. Will that be a problem? I know I could have sent them in at the same time. What should I expect when the acceptance letter comes?

 

for 'what to expect' really depends on the content of the approval notice. 

 

USUALLY, the content of the approval notice hinges around what was filled in on Q22, left and right sides, of form I-130. 

 

Can tell us what you wrote, in Q-22, on the I-130, left and right sides?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRcvd another checklist from NVC- pls help!!

Thanks Charlie for the reply. My hubby is in India. He did told me that since PCC has already been obtained from local police station after all inquiries, we can't obtain another one from passport office. So confused don't know what to do?

it's possible there are 2 PCCs for India - it's a hassle.

 

Read about it in the India Subforum, soonish. 

and, IMO - it's not a big deal - just get 2 different ones.


DarnellMaleChina2014-09-16 20:32:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswhat to apply for?

if 'here' = Aurora, CO - then yes, I-130 + I-485. 

 

 


DarnellMaleChina2014-10-04 22:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportswhat to apply for?

make certain she not leave USA until she has green card in hand. 

 

if she leaves during processing, the I-485 is considered abandoned. there's some slush about AP, but I wouldn't risk it.  

 

she'll need some docs from china, all issued when showing the hukuo book.  assuming she not have the docs needed, a family member back in china that has HER listed in THEIR hukuo book can arrange for the docs, then send them to you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC question

you mean a prediction, like for the I-130? 

 

i suggest not to do that,

as

the petitioner and the beneficiary controls the pace at NVC, given up to 2 years to handle the doc intake and visa application process there.

I hated NVC when we went through there.   Hate, loathing and almost desperation.

 

I might have shaved 3 or 4 weeks if'n I had paid attention, but that's on me.

 

These days, there's a  60 hole on each queue, and that sucks - smacks of really bad IT system there [and I hate bad IT systems]

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC HELP...Plz Guide

Any Help is greatly appreciated...

Here is what happened Last week I sent my AOS package and today I realized that the copy of tax transcript I send was not complete...Tax transcript I received from IRS were two sided but when I made the copy and send it to NVC i mistakenly made photocopy of one side only....

My question is can I send my tax transcript with IV package..i am sending my IV package this week...Can I add transcript in it to avoid getting checklisted...please advise...thanks



I suggest you send in a NEW AOS package, instead.

 

Why?  This forestalls a checklist letter response, and movement into a holding queue.
