Hello VJ Users,

My husband and I got our first notice on Oct 13th 2011 and we haven't gotten word since from USCIS. After 6 months my hubby called the Customer Service number and requested information on the status of our case. Today, he recieved a letter telling him that our case is "Pending, awaiting interview scheduling" does that mean that our I-130 is approved and we just need to wait for an interview date now? Or is this just a common update the USCIS uses to say that they're still working on our papers and nothing's been approved yet? I know it sounds like a straight-forward status update, and that it seems like we're really just waiting on an interview date...but I just want to make sure I'm not just reading what I WANT it to say...

sounds to me like they still working on your papers. if USCIS is pendig interview then that means you will have to go to a local immigration office. it took me and my husband 8 months of waiting before USCIS approved our I-130. only because our papers sat in the CSC for 3 months before anyone touched them.

good luck!

ME AND MY FAMILY!

Hi there!

Don't be afraid to call the NVC call center (all of us here have pestered them lots! lol) to clarify whatever you don't get!

You can have a look at the timelines of myself; (Armywife), LaurenNSpongy and Amrita&Terry (Trinidadian profiles) so you can have an idea of all steps involved and how long the entire process takes.

It took me 189 days to have just the approval of my I-130... then all the other steps had to be taken care of.

All the best!
