hey all

I am writing this for a friend of mine who is a Green Card Holder in USA. He filed a I130 for his wife who lives in Kerala, India. It got approved in 2005 from the Vermont Serice Center. Afterwards he got a letter from THE NVC center in Portsmouth, NH. The letter mentions that there is a wait for F2A visas and he should await further communication.

NVC letter details

Neither he nor his wife has received any more communication. What are his options ? He went to a paralegal and he was told he should go ahead and file I864. Is this correct ?

The latest visa bulletin still shows OCT 2002 as the priority date for Indian F2As. Should he wait more for further information ? Can he do something meanwhile to get his wife here ?

Thanks

Raj

He just needs to wait. The I-864 doesn't go until they ask for it. If he becomes a US citizen while waiting, he can then file something (I'm sorry I don't what it is) informing them, and that will push everything along quickly as there's no waiting for spouses of USCs.

All he can do is wait. Do not send anything to NVC unless they ask for it.

Other option is to upgrade the same petition from F2A to CR1/IR1 once he becomes naturalized citizen.
