hi im a filipina and my husband is also a green card holder (filipino) living in michigan - we got married last year and he applied for spousal visa I130 - last december 2010 - then we received the approval this may 23 stating that our petition has been approved last may 12...

im not soo familiar with the whole thing.. just wanted to know if what will happen next.. the timeline so i could work on the things that i need to comply here in the country before going to michigan..

another question: what other situation might brought to disapproval of the visa?

will financial status matter?

please answer my query i need help.. thanks

Hey - welcome aboard - you been studying the guides section here at VJ ?

If not, please , at least, review Loto's Wiki Pages

Loto's Wiki Page - http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_bring_your_foreign_spouse_to_live_in_the_US

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/EZGuideSpouse

Yer in for a wait, alas, after I-130 approval - a VISA NUMBER for your category must be available - are you checking the Monthly Visa Bulletin? Prepare to wait a few years, but in some cases, LPR spouse cases do go fast, it's all up to the quota tagged for that visa category. (USCitizen Petitioners do not have quotas)

If I were in yer shoes, I wouldn't chase after other documents needed during NVC processing UNTIL NVC has assigned an embassy casefile # (for you, usually starts with MNL)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
