@KrishMT - Awesome news! Glad you guys are not hitting any road blocks!

Just got an email from NVC, they have my package and instructions will be sent out shortly. So when I get home, I'll be calling and seeing what I can do to further this process along!

FYI - I got my NOA 2 on May 19th and the NVC notice today June 16th. So it's taking 30 days to just get to NVC. Sucks but glad another hurdle is passed!

Yeah, so happy things are moving quickly. I'm hoping for a smooth-sailing NVC journey. :)

That's great news! I'm happy for you! How soon can we start calling NVC? Btw, how would we know when our package shipping out from USCIS? Thanks!!!

Can't believe there's a May 2014 thread.. I started in May 2013, and along with others who started in the beginning of 2013, we are finally slowly making our way to approvals for I-130s and case compl

Not sure on when they shipped the package only got an email from them that they were forwarding the case to NVC. Also, after I got threw calling NVC, which took over 100+ dailings since their phone line was busy... Anyways, the guy there said they checked it in June 2nd, which took them two weeks to notify me they received the package via email. Go figure huh? Probably have the letter sitting in my mail box, though I am away till the end of this week. So, when I talked to the person, they said you have to wait 30 business days which I am like what!?!? I am going to wait till the 2nd of July and call them for an update, the icing on the cake is they didn't assign a case number yet. Wish they had, would have been nice to tell my wife we are onto the next leg of the journey!

Patiently waiting for NOA2 still..I know its early but I can dream. Thankfully today we were finally able to set an appointment for my daughters CRBA and passport at the US Embassy in Manila. I cant believe how in demand those appointments are. Hopefully since my daughter looks like me we will not have any issues...But I will be sure to have my wife bring alot of evidence to the appointment also.

So I guess we need to wait for the notification that it would be forwarded to NVC. :) I hope they assign you a case number soon :)

Is there anybody who got assigned to Vermont Service Center? I feel lonely!

Mccartna, did you file from abroad?

What are the requirements for filing from abroad and how do you do it?

My husband, USC, is temporary here with me in Italy but we didn't file from abroad... I'm starting thinking I filed wrong..:

Does anyone has idea of how much total time it will take to get upto the interview? For my bother-in-law it only took 6 month as TOTAL processing time. He was in the USA at the end of the 7th month. Is it only luck? or Is it really possible?

Congratulations on your NOA2! Most people leave it a few weeks before they begin hounding the NVC for their case number.

That's the subject of intense speculation at the moment; it's difficult to put an exact estimation on exactly how long it takes, quite simply because of how long it's taking USCIS to approve I-130 applications. I think the average that I've seen based on VJ member timeline data is around 9 months, start to finish (6 months for I-130 approval, 2 months at NVC and 1 month for Embassy interview scheduling).

I'm not wanting to piss off the NVC people, but as my God mother told me, they can't fault me for wanting updates in a timely manner. It doesn't matter if one place takes less time. In this day and age, any government run facility does not want a congressmen asking why it takes long then the posted times, especially if the people were never contacted about there being a problem with their case.

@Vincesca - Nothing wrong with not filing right away. I wanted to file when I got back from my first visit before I was even married! Would we be together right now if we had? Maybe but you know what God, fate, woman's time of the month, anything can make or break a relationship, along with a case being submitted. You could have been right to submit early on and hit the proper time at the immigration office, or you could have hit the wrong time, and had your case take the longest time possible you know? Have a little faith and matters will sort it self out in a manner that makes everyone always second guessing if you should have done things differently.

@KrishMT - The nice thing about my timing for you, is that you are just about a week or toe behind me, but keeping up. That tells me they must be fast tracking philippines paper work faster then others. It's one reason I am trying so hard to keep my time line updated since people who are from philippines will be saying we are also right on for how much time we are spending at these places. It's always nice getting things so locked in that the waiting is what makes us want to down red bull and rock star drinks just to be awake when the notice comes in!!

Keep the fair people, we all make it, and having each other rooting for the new beginnings is such a comfort!
