No need to refile, if you already have the USCIS No# you can check your case on the website.

thank you..

Anyone plz lemme know how long it will take from approval notice to interview ?

no one really knows the exact timeframe from you bein approved to you interview date... but we are all thinking here that you give it a year from your approval date till your beneficiary will be here in the US. check our VJ friends' timeline and you'll get an idea.

I got a question. when we sent DS 230 supporting documents.It should be orginal? notarised? or certified? thanks.

[malvika 1]

As far as I know all the original documents (excepts passport) should be sent to NVC along with the DS-230 and they will give them back to your relative when he/she goes for the visa.

Hello ekto..

well, I live in Texas, but the letter i received says "California Service Center"

so i'm considered on California.

this month's F2A Priority is for December 2006 .. is that right ?

Ummh, something fishy are going on with California Service Center.

I filed my petition Feb 12, 2010 and still doesn't get any approval from CSC.

Are you sure that your case is already been forwarded to NVC?

Thanks a lot Malvika. What about PCC? police authorities asked for a confirmation letter from NVC, but we dont have one .I got one more problem i donot know how the barcoded things work. If anybody help me out please.I read another post in VJ but donot know what these measurements height lenght millimetres and those stuff are all about.Should we print and stick them ? How will we know the scanner reads exactly the same number? Is there any other alternate hazzle free way? Can we write it manually? I appreciate your help. Thanks again.

POLICE CERTIFICATES: A police certificate is required from a country in which the applicant

lived for more than one year (six months if you are applying for a K visa) after turning 16

years of age. SOURCE: http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3217.html

I work in Dubai, U.A.E. for 7 months only (April to Nov 2006)

April - Sept I'm working even if I just have tourist visa (5 months)

Sept - Nov The same company issued a working permit for me, and a residence visa (2 months)

In Dubai they will just issue a police clearance if you have a residence visa for 6 months above only

When I fill up the G-325A

*Applicant's employment last five years* I put April 2006 to Nov 2006

*Applicant's residence last five years* I just put my present address, I didn't put my address in

Dubai because I really don't know...

My problem is

What if the NVC ask me to get a police clearance from Dubai? They will not issue a police

clearance for me because my residence visa is only 2 months.

In form DS-230 the same question will be ask again

(Applicant's employment last five years and Applicant's residence last five years)

Guys, will I just write the same answer that I wrote in form G-325A or I need to put in

Applicant's Residence last five years: U.A.E. April 2006 to Nov 2006...

or maybe NVC will not ask me to get a police clearance from Dubai because I'm in a F2a category

( F category needs police clearance if your residency is 1 year above)

I'm confused!

***sorry for my long confusing posts

yes. I'm positive.

I received a letter on May 12th, 2010 that says:

" The above petition has been approved. We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC), 32 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909"

With some more details.

And then on May 20, 2010 I received a an email that generated me a case number at the NVC.

I truly don't know how they work, but definitely its not pick-and-choose.

Hope you hear from them soon ..

Thanks glieswayz for the info.

Hopefully, our love ones will join us sooner as we expected.

Hear from you soon. Regards and goodluck to us.

As chakadoll mentioned if they are currently giving appointments for interview schedule from jan 2007 to jan 2008.That means we all are heading in the right direction in amazing speed.Those who filed very recently are the lucky ones. Service center is lagging behind a bit due to unexpected bulletin jump in last couple of months.Any one here got finished in less than 6 months? I think thats gonna happen soon. Hopefully no difference between citizen and an LPR(LONGING PERMENANT RESIDENT!!!)

Hi sunny and sonny,

I think its better to check with manila consulate for PCC. Just read all the embassy notes carefully in their website.I just discovered if you are staying outside your home country we need to get PCC from the EMBASSY of lived country apart from local police.In your case i guess philippines embassy in UAE. 2 months stay is not needed even if you mentioned in 325 A.I cant comment on this please confirm with senior members. Be carefull when you write in these forms especially DS 230. Nvc will I must say double check before you sent any forms.
