I 130, next steps, what to expect

[Lynx Scout 0]

Are you DCF too? The process is slightly different depending on whether your petition was filed in London or the US. You said you sneaked into England so I'm assuming you weren't living here for the required time to be eligable for DCF? What happens after the I-130 is approved is slightly different depending on where you filed.

Either way you are required to complete I-864, if filed in London he takes the documents to the interview, if filed in the US it's all sent in ahead of time.

Don't stress about the situation. It's pretty straightforward but only you would know if there might be complications in your situation which might require extra guidance from an immigration lawyer.

Nah, filed with the lockbox in Colorado, July 5th.

... Colorado... NOA we've recieved it. Good! I go to England. (July 21st)

Next NOA.. Sending to Colorado. (August-ish) (wut? but I SENT it to.. and they said...)

NOA ...Sending to Texas to expedite.. (October) (huh?)

Jan 5th I'm back in the states..

NOA .. sending to California to expedite.. (February)

next ... OMG SEND US THIS INFO IN THE NEXT 20 DAYS OR YOU WILL BE DENIED, a week or 2 later in February. Pictures and marriage cert. (guess the folder fell open on it's state tour) At this point, we're in 2 different countries and scrambling to get stuff mailed so I can get it there ahead of time, I panicked, knew I could get another of my OWN "original copies" of my marriage cert from Orphan's Court in PA so mailed them my "original" (which is a copy they send us. Nothing fancy.) .. week and a half or so later - Approved - says on it they will contact him next.

So now, I have to file my 2010 Taxes (had an accountant do them, just came in the mail yesterday) and file Affadavit, and what happens? Possible government shutdown.. what's going to be effected? Why, tax processing of course... and visa and immigration and passports? Oh silly.

So I am going to fill out the Affadavit, next step, I suspect, and send it in. I have to look at it again, I'm guessing they need that before they contact him?

We're still stuck on Nov 16th processing date since March 31st! Has anyone heard anything about delays? Or are they simply not updating their website??
