February 2011 Immigrant Visa filers (CR-1/IR-1)

[CharlesR 4]

Just sent our I130 form off. He sent first class, but he didnt get tracking like i said! Filed 25th of feb.

Anyone been told how long febuary filers are expected to take? i would have thought feb is a quite month to file (well at least it is after they have done all there backlog of july/aug filers).

I just plan on a 5 month wait and try and forget about it. I did have one "touch" already, but I expect a few of those so.... I'm going back to Moldova May 10th until August 3rd. So, I should know something while I'm stil over there. NVC paper work ready and waiting, so no delays there (at least on my end)

Looks pretty good. The NOA1 date that I posted is actually the date in the upper right hand corner of the hard copy. I recieved the hard copy on feb 13th, but the main focus is on the notice date.

OK, I mailed my I-130 Today (finally!) .. So I am either a late Febraury or an early march filer.. Do we measure by the date the I-130 was mailed or the date NOA1 is received?

I would assume by priority date printed on NOA1

Im pretty sure the priority date does not apply to IR/CR1 filers. I think that has more to do with visa availability for K -1 filers

I opened my spreadsheet to all of us to update as we go along the process. I just thought it was nice to have a place to glace at to see how each other is doing along the process.

If i am not mistaken Priority date is when they received, and that is when they start counting the days. Visa availability is not something that matters when a US citizen is applying. There is no cap on spouse visas for us citizens.
