This is a wonderful forum and thanks in advance for all the helpful VJers.

I am a US Citizen and i am applying for my sister in FB4 Category. I know that the timeline is long and i am still a long way to go..I have read all the procedures and shortcuts in this forum. Thanks once again..My question is the I-130, i have filed has been received and also approved, but the case is still at USCIS and have not reached the NVC office? I have raised the service request at USCIS and also calling NVC for the case number..no answers?I am not sure whether we can track? Do i need to just wait? or is there any way?

I also sent the approved petition to NVC thru email, they could locate the case but don't know why it is not reaching their office?

it takes about a week to 10 days from USCIS approval to reach NVC. how long has it been?

Check the priority date.

IF it's not in 2010, expect the file to be sent to storage, until the priority date becomes current.

If it IS in 2010, then the casefile will move to NVC, soonish. They don't 'muck about' with sending that casefile, from USCIS to NVC.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

You have, for now, a USCIS Receipt # (starts with WAC or EAC)

That's it, for now.

If you started up any service request, there would be a tracking # on the service request.

IMO, this approved I-130 will go to storage.

I note you not address the priority date of the petition.

It's my understanding (and I could be wrong, too ) that for this type of filing, once the I-130 is approved, it goes to storage, waiting it's turn in the queue. It's a long wait, as well. Once it comes out of storage, then NVC does their stuff with you and her.

I know you just joined, but have you reviewed the pinned topic, in this forum ?
