Recent I-130 Approvals (Nov. /Dec.) - NVC Process

What does Admin review mean at the NVC?

Today, I got totally different info on my case.

I-130 is not there yet.

I-129F is in the system and is under Admin review. Received on 12/22/08.

God knows what happened!

DesiMan,

Sorry to hear about your case man. Check out this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=165644 , someone went to AP @ NVC just like what you are in right now.

Hopefully this might help you answer your question.

i thought ur case had already reached Mumbai?? did u talk to a supervisor at NVC? or ask them what admin review means? i have never heard of AP on I-129F. the K3s are directly sent to the embassy/consulate and NVC doesnt do anything with them...get them to give u more info. sorry to hear ur situation.

I have no idea about this. I think they just don't like me at all. Well, they say they're open 'till midnight, well, I am up till midnight and getting a straight answer. I know either one of the operators are lying. One said it had already left NVC and the other one today said it's in review. I've already sent a letter to my congressman and senator and flurries of calls will continue to NVC. Man, what a mess!

guess we made a mistake at the I 130.. we have to file i 824.. another 6 month of waiting. this kills me. i just want to quit.

i dont understand...form I-824 is not meant to correct mistakes. if there is an error in approval on part of USCIS, you have the right to request expedite processing...you are missing details here..please share details so we can help...quiting is not going to help..you have to find a solution to the problem...it should not take 6 months...i highly doubt it...unless your case is in AP at NVC then it may take a few weeks not months...thanks!

Well from what I read on the forums here is ,that we might have answered something about question number 22 wrong and this is why they keep our approved I 130 at uscis till we sent the I 824 and money to reqest them sending our I130 to NVC. I tried calling them and asking about it but I can't even get a someone on the phone. I was hoping i could tell them our mistakes and they'd say, "ok, we'll just sent it to NVC". Te timelines say that the processing time is 6 months for sent I 824. Another 6 month of wasted life and waiting. Sorry but thats all I know.

guess we made a mistake at the I 130.. we have to file i 824.. another 6 month of waiting. this kills me. i just want to quit.

i am soo sorry!!! hopefully they will be able to clear it up faster, it would be horrible if you had to wait another 6 months!!!

Thank you. I guess it's our own fault for not answering their questions right. I hope it wont take 6 months but for now the processing time says so.

how did you answer question 22? if USCIS approved your petition without making sure the guidlines for the NVC then its their fault. if you put in that your spouse is in the country (when they are not) and will adjust status then it is your fault and you will have to file I-824. regardless, call your congressman and ask for assistance. good luck!

LingLing - DS3032 hasnt been generated yet for me...when do you think it will happen? my case is moving awefully slow i am going to india next month and want to be done with NVC before i leave.

1 to 2 weeks is normal. Just keep calling everyday...once in the morning, once in the evening.

As soon as you hear that it's been generated, you can send your response letter with COA.

I believe you have everything else ready to go...right?

For India, I believe the PCC must have been issued within 6 months.

I have everything ready. the PCC is valid for one year from the date of issue and must be valid on the date of the interview. i verified this both on mumbai consulate website and delhi embassy website.

LingLing - can you please update your guide section 11 b with the photo requirement to be sent to NVC. i dont see it there. you also mentioned that there are two photos required for the medical. not sure why it is part of your guide. can you please let me know if u put that on there on purpose? thanks!

Good catch CMNB.

For some reason, I can't get to ANY .gov sites

I think it has to do with my "hot-wired" cable modem. I'm getting like 26mb down...but that's another story.

Anyway, CMNB, feel free to update the Wiki as needed.

As for pix for the medical...my understanding is THAT'S how they can know that the doctor examined the correct person.

ya but my wife doesnt have to submit the medical pics with the DS-230? or does she? thats what i am confused about.

No...your wife takes the medical pics to the physician.

My case was approved on 12/29/08, and case number was assigned at NVC on 1/5/09. But I am having a problem getting the Invoice ID number. Is there any one here in this forum that has been successful in getting the ID number from the operators? Thank you very much.

sam1 - your IIN will not be available until they generate your DS-3032 (Choice of agent) and Affidavit of support fee bill. that might take about a week to two weeks from the time your case was assigned a case number. so if your case was assigned a NVC case number on 1/5/09 there is a good chance they dont even have that number available yet.

does anyone have the mailing address where i can mail my DS-3032. i ididnt find it on Lingche's shortcut and I am not sure how old the address is on the James shortcut. anyone please?? thanks so much!

Hi cmnb, I asked the operator and he told me that DS-3032 and AOS has been generated and will be mailed tomorrow. And also according to the shortcut, sometimes your IIN will be created when your case number is created. As for your question about where to mail the DS-3032, I believe it is the national visa center address.

Desiman - I have been a witness to what a nightmare this process has been for you. It's almost coming to an end, so my advice is that please stay patient and collected. If you get agitated, you won't be able to think clearly as to how to tackle any temporary hurdles. It's unbelievable how this entire process has treated you. It's easier said than done, but trust me, stay calm. this will pass.

Good luck!
