please can someone help urgently,, my husband has just had the i-130 approved for his stepdaughter ( my daughter ) it was filed here in USA and stepdaughter lives in UK, we are now waiting for the NVC to get in touch ( how long? ) and my husband will be named as choice of agent, does that mean he will file all the forms ds3032 etc, or does my daughter still have any to fill in? if so can it be done by email to NVC if husband does daughter have to send us all her documents? originals or copys? when would be the earliest time a medical appointment can be made, do we get told when to do this? can the medical and interview be done on same day being that my daughter will have to travel 300 miles on her own ( although she is 21, would love to save her some hassle if can be avoided ) how long does this whole process take from here, sorry for all the questions but want to start getting things prepared ready for the paperwork arriving

please can someone help urgently,, my husband has just had the i-130 approved for his stepdaughter Congrats! ,

we are now waiting for the NVC to get in touch ( how long? ) don't wait for them to be in touch. Never wait! LOL Call them about a week after you got the NOA 2, notice of approval from USCIS if thedon't have you in thesystem yet, meaning you don't get your NVC number with the first three letters of them embassy you will interview at AND you invoice ID# referredto as the INN# by some hereonthe VJ. Those two numbers are essential. Also search for Lingche short cut on this site. It will help you get throughthis stage faster. call them every other day after that first call if they don't give you those numbers. Theywill tell you thatitwill take20 days, etc... But often it doesn't and you will have wasted precious time waiting until you getthe email notice with the numbers.

and my husband will be named as choice of agent, does that mean he will file all the forms ds3032 etc, or does my daughter still have any to fill in? Here is where I'd aska round a little more. Either Daughter has to fill out DS3230 to designate her father as the agent or you as her mom can fill it out. It gets emailed in from the email of whoever fills it out but since she isof age, I would lean toward herneeding to fill it out and designation her step-father as the agent. Other option, if you want to be in the loop, she could designate you as the agent and then all email correspondence would besentto you and your husband. But either way, your husband can not designate himself they agent. My step daughter is three so herfather, my hubbue, filled it out designating himself the agent as sheis underage and sent from his email. So now we both get emails..

f so can it be done by email to NVC if husband does daughter have to send us all her documents? originals or copys? Some stuff is done by email like the DS 3032 and payments for AOS and IV through payment portal but the AOS packet thatis all on your husband to fill out and sent. iV packet is all about your daughter. She has to fill out and sign, get her birth certificate, photos ,police certificate, etc... So, who sends ithat packet is up to you but since there are originals in that packet she would have to mail them to you or directly to the NvC.

When would be the earliest time a medical appointment can be made, do we get told when to do this? can the medical and interview be done on same day being that my daughter will have to travel 300 miles on her own ( although she is 21, would love to save her some hassle if can be avoided ) how long does this whole process take from here, sorry for all the questions but want to start getting things prepared ready for the paperwork arriving i can't answer these questions as they seem to be embassy specific in terms of when you can get the medical and how long an interview takes to be scheduled, etc...

Good luck! Hope I've helped!

Im back from vacay, and got the email stating that they accepted the I130, and it had the case number. I havent received NOA1 yet, but the case number works online and says its in "Initial Review". I also received my hubby's oath letter while away, so he will definitely be a citizen later this month. I am hoping for a smooth ride through this process.

YAHH good luck!

Okay Im celebrating NVC says my step-daughters case was complete on 8/4/12. They are just waiting for a date for the interview and before I could ask she says, "AND there is no time line I can give you." LOLOLOLOL....oh she loves her job hungh!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO how long you think before the letter with the date!!! Anyone anyone??

yay! Im excited for you. They may not be able to give you a timeline, but what you can do is harrass the embassy with emails or phonecalls when you think they have the file asking them, and they will probably reply with the date. Thats what I did during the K1 process... but then again, everything is so swift and online now, that youll probably receive an email with your date before you even have to call them.

Well that is true. I did that too, but it was so long ago totally forgot! I thought I would maybe call back on Friday because that seems to be the magic day for my process. So, I guess i would just give them the Case number for the NVC?? I have to find all those numbers again! : )

Good going.

Still trying to get the IV package for my son (his stepson) together. Have to apply for new set of husband's birth certificate. He cant find the set he had . I am mad at him for causing this delay. Hopefully in a week or so it will be ready to go off.
