All VJer,

I am so happy today. Just checked my case status on USCIS portal and my status is moved from 'Initial Review' to 'Post Decision Activity'. I am so excited and waiting to receive my NOA2. Here is the online message on USCIS portal.

Post Decision Activity

On March 15, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

So I wish good luck to all November filers. Its time for us to cheer up... I hope to see more approvals coming soon.

I just got my approval today too!! (about 30 min ago to be exact!!) So, yes, they are doing Novembers....

@ GeorgeT911: You've generally got slightly less than a month to wait before the USCIS will say anything other than 'wait until the 5 months are up.' Now, after that five-month mark (May 9th), you ca

Hi there , i have NOA1 dated 1 day before yours and i havent heard anything too , bit there is nothing to worry about as whole procedure takes sometime. Uscis has finally started to approve NOV filers , early nov filer to be particular so we will have to wait until we get our approvals. You have your NOA1 hardcopy and thats enough for now .Stay positive .

Hi Sarah,

Did you hear anything yet from USCIS? If so, please let me know.

I am really getting tensed now.

Thanks

Kevin

Hey - I just got my NOA2, and my NOA1 was dated the 5th November. (woo, Guy Fawkes Day) So for those of you who have NOA1s dated mid-November, you're in the home stretch! :D

O I wish I would get something like this soon. All I got so far is NOA1 and a recent update to my case on March 17, 2011.

Good Luck to you!

Typically a "touch" or update means that there is some kind of activity going on with your case. however, my case got touched like nearly 10-11 times before approval. so while its a sign something is going on, it doesnt necessarily mean you'll get approved right then and there. although for a lot of people who filed the same time I did (in 2009 and last year), I know that they got touched and a day or 2 later, they got approval...

I'd say that you're close to the 5 month mark. make an infopass appt and see if you can talk f2f w/ your local uscis office. they migth be able to peer into your case and see if there's anything wrong or what the status is and also put in a service request for you. other than that, unfortunately, not much else you can do other than waiting. i know how this feels, so believe me when I say I feel your pain!

try not to focus on it too much, think positively and it WILL come! best of luck :thumbs:

Hello All,

I received my NOA2 (I-130 Approved Notice) from USCIS and they have approved my I-130 petition, that I have filed for my wife.

Can someone please advise on what will be the next steps ?

The notice says that USCIS will forward my case to NVC. How do I follow up?

What all documents I have to get ready for the next steps?

Kindly, please advise. Any help or pointers are appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

Congrats on your NOA2. First step is keep calling NVC and try to get the NVC case no. Regarding the documents, If you have all your civil documents ready then no worries, if not, this is the time to get them. Please go through this guide
