Look at the very first post in this thread, there are a bunch of useful links, among them a template and explanations about how to email the DS3032, it works wonders. Refer to "LingChe shortcuts" too

Thanks Saylin. It is confirmed. AVR updated the status to "your case was completed..." and the second operator also says it's complete. Do you know when we should expect to get the interview appointm

No, it's printed on her checks. Just google "routing number" and look at the image results and it'll show you which number is her account number and which is the bank's routing number.

I'm a USC and I filed my I-130 for my husband (Guyana) on Feb 7th, I received the NOA1 on Feb 17th ( VSC), just wondering how long does it really take to receive NOA2 to really get the process started. I've known my husband for since I was 17 but got married in Dec. 11.

Thanks in advance for any response.

On average, it takes 5 months for the I-130 to be approved. There are outliers in which it takes shorter or longer, but on average 5 months. You'll most likely get your petition approved sometime in late summer.

And by the way, this is the NVC thread for February, not for USCIS filers :P

The longest wait (that I know of) can be months for Ghana. It takes up to a year last time I checked to receive an interview date from CC. But, for Pakistan, I don't believe it's that long of a wait. Have you been calling NVC and DOS every day?

I just called again and talked to another operator and she just told me the case has been completed and that the other operator didn't check the second screen and that is why she got confused. They will add the date in the second screen....and that they only schedule for interviews once a month and the second week of the month for the previous month...

this is so frustrating!! :(

The operator said the case isn't appearing as complete now? blink.gif I'd call back and ask again, maybe the operator was just seeing things...

Why cant they be consistent? I am so stressed! Would that second date mean the file has just been sitting there without it going for an interview schedule because of that date not being in the second screen?
