Hi Indianbride,

Congrats for your approval...BTW good to have a companion in India, that too with the same time line....In wich part of India u r based at.....I am in Chennai....Do share your progress without fail....

Even we got the approval today morning and we called NVC...They said, it will take a week's time for them to generate the Case Number.....Hopefully by Monday we can able to get our case number and start our journey.....All the best...

Ok.

I called the USCIS number and got an operator (for the first time)

I asked her the reason why our I-130 is not approved and if something can be done from my side to speed up the process.

She mentioned that "there are variety of reasons" why my case is still pending and decision is not yet reached. She mentioned that I can't do anything as this point (other than to wait and watch).

Gosh, This waiting time is killing us.

Thanks.

the words in Bold smells to me that they are goint to request you more bonafide evidence..you said that you sent the marriage certificate but that is not OPTIONAL that is MANDATORY..optional are PHOTOS, LETTER ETC. you should have sent that all the documents that you sent to USCIS will go to your embassy..lets wait until March 20th if you dont have an answer call again and request to speak to an operator..good luck

Thanks estrellademiel.

Can I send the photos, letters, emails, joint account statements or third party affidavit (all optional requisites) as an addendum to the original application?

If yes, how and where can I send those bonafide evidences?

Will it help to speed up the process?

OR should I just wait for their request for bonafide proof and then respond?

The thing that makes me nervous is that there has been no touches or RFE created against our case since Dec 16th 2009.

I assume that because I have applied at Boston field office, it might take longer to get I-130 approved than others.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

Thanks Darnell i hope i will have the approved of I-130 soon

by the way even i m still waiting for the approve of the I-130 form can i call the NVC to get advise or if there is a problem in the process that we have ?

You can call NVC, to get advice,

but most ppl read the NVC web pages over at

DS-230 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

I-864 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3730.html

General NVC stuff - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1335.html

then they map out, on paper and pencil, exactly what they need to do.

Some people want speed at NVC, as well, so they study

and

I guess it's totally up to you, if you want to 'seek advice from a Serco Contractor at NVC, who doesn't really know the entire process and gives out the wrong answers' , instead of reading what the NVC employees AND VJ ppl have written.

TOTALLY YOUR DECISION !

Good Luck ! (or something )

how long were you on hold? over 1 hour is ridiculous!!!!

[Darnell 8,479]

Ya for sure good luck and here's hopiing the touch will translate to an approved petition !! That seems to be what's been happening , although many have had no touches at all and just got approved. The more Dec filers approved the better for us early Jan filers ....!!!
