No barcode needed to send DS 3032. Search the Lingche shortcut website. There is a link on that link for the payment site. Try this link https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

But you will need your inn # just go to NVC website and get DS 3032. Print it, fill it out and have your husband sign it as your daughter is a minor, she is under 16 right? They scan and email it from your husbands email. Probably its best to use your address in US, less likely to get lost.

Thanks beejay! I hope the two weeks is right but I know better being that this is my second process but one can dream! Lol she is only 3 so, i am not so worried about her being here to start school as much as I am down here visiting her on my vacation for the month of july and I hate to tell her again, you can't come home with us yet. Also, i am on vacation now but come Aug 6, I am back at work and would mean time off from work to come back for interview and visa! But of course, I will. I want her here with us!! Wishing you all godspeed

Too early to worry about the start of school then :blush: but it is tough having that conversation of 'not yet'...

Even if it's not 2 weeks it sounds like it will be very soon :)

I've noticed there have been quite a few people over the last few months who have filed stand alone I-130s for their stepchildren. There is some information about the I-130 process but not specificall

Thanks everyone. I am very lucky to be here for a month putting her down for naps, teaching her games on the ipad, coloring, taking her to the beach! Can't wait to take her home to her pretty pink room! No expert here, just an obsessive reader and researcher. Also, just one step ahead in many cases so can share more easily. Glad my experience can help others. It's an exciting time for all! Even if the wait is excrutiating!

Papers showed arrived on tracking website. now just have to wait for them to be reviewed and then we are finished at NVC. Next step interview. Have a great day everyone!

I love reading the stories in this thread, and Im excited for everyone. I am going to hold off on submitting mine just for a little bit, because I realize she would never make it before school starts, and probably not even for Christmas break. That means she probably wont be able to come before next summer when school is out.

Thank you for your replies

I did my Oath and submitted 3 separate I-130s on the next day. Today I saw 3 deductions of $420 from USCIS. Does that mean all my application are correct and it's now on process then I'll be expecting a NOA soon?

Hey guys. So today I check the NVC payment site and the AOS info is gone. It is blank the Beneficiary info is still ther. So I assume that means they are working on it?? Anyone have this experience?

hello VJers!

My husband filed I-130 for my daughter - his stepdaughter in 2011 when he was an LPR and she was 19 years old. The petition was approved on August 15, 2011. He became a USC 3 days after she turned 21 in June and requested upgrade of petition.

I am wondering if she will be kept in the system as a minor child. I think my 13 year old son will remain as a minor.

Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

UPDATE.

As suggested by Beejay I also started the above as another thread. Seems no one had such an experience because there's no response so far. :wow:

Anyway I received the request for the Affidavit of Support Fee for myself and my son but did not receive any for my daughter. I have taken this to mean that she will not be processed with us and she has been placed in another category and will have a longer wait. :crying:

very dissappointed. I wonder what would have happened if we did not request the upgrade.

Petitioner LPR upgraded to USC June 22, 2012
August 22, 2012: case complete
October 18, 2012: Interview (APPROVED)
October 26, 2012: Picked up visa from DHL (delay caused by Sandy)
December 15, 2012: POE Atlanta....................became USC July 2016!!!!

Mothers' Journey (My sister is the petitioner)

September 10, 2013: Sent I-130 (UPS next day service)

September 12, 2013: Received text to confirm delivery

September 16, 2013: Received NOA 1

March 22, 2014: Received NOA 2

April 8, 2014: File Received by NVC

May 26, 2015: Interview (approved)..........now LPR (delays caused by 2 RFE)

That means she probably wont be able to come before next summer when school is out.

If you want her here next summer I would apply for her now. It takes about 10 months from beginning to end and then once she has her visa she has 6 months to enter the US.

Do it now so it will be more relaxing for you. Also to give yourself room in case anything gets screwed up with your case. I'm sure it's a COMPLETELY different process doing it when you are leisurely about it. As opposed to the way most of us are doing it with such stress and angst and nervousness and such. You know?
