Hi Chev&Danica,

None of us can really pinpoint when these I-130s get approved. There are so many dates that i have heard too! But the one that i have heard the most and from the lawyer too is 6-10 months. Could i ask you what a DFC is and what are the qualifications?

thanks

HI everyone Me too I have sent my I-130 May 13 2008 and someone received it on May 14 around 12:00 pm. just wanted to add my self to the list. as of now i have not received any type of receipt for my NOA1 nor have they cashed my check... Does any one know how long it takes for this thing to get approved i've heard so many stories. 6-10 month sometimes 10-15 months. I've been told i could be qualified for a DFC and hearing rumors that it can take up to 3 month for my wife to come straight over is that true? I am currently going to school in the Philippines and this is my last and final year i graduate in April so I don't know if that makes me qualified or not. i would appreciate the feedback.

oh, nevermind about the DCF. I think you meant the Direct Consular Filing. I heard for my country they do not allow that anymore. Not sure about Philippines.

Had a wild hair and checked the USCIS website just now and they actually touched our 130 today. Knew they were working flex schedules but this is getting better all the time.

How can you tell which service center you got cause I sent my to chicago. and even though vermont is only a 2 hours away from me the immigration center here in Maine told me to mail it to Chicago. so I am a little confused why chicago instead of Vermont.

For some reason they want all the I-130s sent to the chicago lockbox and then they forward it to the correct service center. Most probably your service center will be Vermont but what i did was go on USCIS and then click on the instructions for the I-129F. It tells you that if you are in this particular state then send your application to this service center. Even though this form is I-129F, this is usually the service center where they forward your case.

Chev, what I did was I signed up online. Then as soon as you get your receipt number, put that in there. Anytime the date changes/updated, that means it was touched..

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp

Should get you there. Upon receipt of your NOA-1 they will assign a case number and you will be able to setup the entire account. I did not try to establish an account prior to the NOA-1 but you may try it and see if it works. Then all you would need to do is assign your case to your account and watch it every hour like the rest of us!

Good luck
