June 2012 I-130 Filers?

[Readerchoice 6]

So far the journey of my mother in law IR-5

USCIS approval email: 3/5/2013

NVC received our case: 3/11/2013

Call NVC on 3/8/2013 got a RUDE respond...and told to wait 15 days before case is assigned or entered to system. I didn't makes any more calls and waited till 3/25/2013, were told they had officially received our case 3/11/2013 but haven't yet enter in to the system. The operator said to give them another week or may be two but in alittle nicer tone thanks god!.

NVC assigned case#: 3/27/2013

On 3/27/2013, received an email from NVC stating that they have entered our file in their system and an invoice will be generated within few days. << I filed G-1145 with I-130 so this is why I'm getting email from them >>

AOS invoice and received by email: 3/29/2013

Paid AOS online $88: 3/29/2013

Emailed DS-3032 from beneficiary using template: 3/29/2013

Online AOS bill appear paid: 4/1/2013

DS-3032 acceptance via beneficiary email: 4/10/2013 << Took nearly 2 weeks >>

AOS package sent: 4/11/2013

Waiting for....IV bill to be invoice so we can submit DS-230 << DS-3032 accepted on 4/10/2013 >>

I use DS-3032 template and deleted all the Agent related wording and updated with updating email address for beneficiary in Subject line and body content. Sent on 3/27/2013. This also took exactly 2 weeks to get a acceptance respond. Reason I did this because to avoid the live phone call and I know it will put in system correctly instead of .....can you please repeat that...WHAT??? NO..uh...OK NOW spell that to me again bla...bla.

I hope for case completion in mid May, I'm so tired of papers, documents, bla...bla. While filling out I-864/I-864A, I put myself as a sponsor on line 13 Part 2 and didn't realize until signing it . I know some of you may be tired, frustrated, read through the line fast to complete the form and at time over look little thing like this one and of course that mean RFE or reject.

i feel sad for my self, seems the people i am asking help loves procrastinating... need your prayers guys for my husband and sister to finally do what they need to do...

If your husband have an attorney filed for him, they coud be waiting for both invoice before proceed to next step. In the mean time your husband should call IRS and obtain his taxes transcript for past 3yrs, this take 10+ days to receive from IRS. On your side if haven't done so, you should get your police clearance ready which in some country take a long time, because everything will be going to move in a fast pace.

I pre-written my DS-3032 and did the same as you. No need writing 20 sentences in the body, when they simply want to know who the agent is. I say they get tired of reading that stuff too much. I try keeping it simple.

I too had a G-1145 with my I-130.

My AOS should be very simple. I have just ONE page I-864w. I earned my 40 credits. This I can attach.

My DS-230 I need to mail. The moment I have the bar sheet I mail it.

I do have to send DS-2001 with it.

The medical I do when I have my case #. I try to assure myself all goes well.

You soon have your mother in-law with you...just kidding

I just finished typing the post above and also same time received an email from NVC stating I need to pay DS-230 IV invoice . It happening sooner than what I expected, though it would be another 3 days or more, anyway DS-230 will be on it way next week.

Hoping and shooting for mid May to be completed at NVC. DS-230 is a pain in the rear but I will read it through few more times before letting it go, of course all of them is none of my biograhpy so it tuff.

Readerchoice is right. Get your police clearance. Maybe another original birth certificate. You leave for another country. Might be good to have an extra one. Check the consulate office where you have your medical done. The office time, the cost of it, what you need to bring with you (all your shot records). ONE picture ?? If you have health insurance have your regular doctor give you updates if needed.

Forgot: Did you filled out the DS-230 already and left it with your husband or your attorney. Your responsible for all the info on it.

Yes! You're absolutely correct, they want it plain simple straight forward and cut all cheese get to the fact ASAP. I learn this when making a call to NVC, as operator ask for beneficiary & petitioner name, I spell it out, she stop me right away and said...Sir, I don't need you to spell the whole thing just tell me the name. Gezz!!.

And yes!.....soon I will be accompany by my loving mother in law.

You will plenty of times when the time is there.

I noticed it too. My I-130 didn't contain more than requested.

My DS-230 is asking only for 11 things to provide.

I feel concerned with my I-864w. But the form applies to me. So I hope I don't encounter someone thinking they know it better.

Well if you have earn 40 credit than you should be square away with that AOS stuff. DS-230 really just biograph of beneficiary along with other things nothing major. Just a pain to remember where were you since age of 16 is ridiculous, I can't even rememeber where I lived few years ago never mind at 16.

According to earn income credit:

If you have live in USA for 10+ years you're eligible. I'm not sure how it count of reported income toward your earn income credit but....I know I have reach that 40 as stated on my SS report card.

Thanks for giving me some confidence. Yeah my ss statement says the same. I worked and I lived in the states for over 20 years. I needed to list every place I lived inside the states. I feel fine. All works out. My intent is to get it all out and deal with whatever after.

im already prepared with my requirements.. it's my husband that is not... and to my disappointment, i thought he hired a lawyer but she was only a paralegal and now we are doing the paperworks without her help. could you believe it? she didn't even inform my husband that he can pay online... my husband was about to send a check and good thing i was able to tell him he should rather pay it online otherwise the process will be delayed much longer... my husband just filed his taxes yesterday and my co sponsor was first hesitant to give us her W2... she is actually my sister leaving in texas... gathering the AOS supporting docs is truly stressing on my part... and telling them what to do, made them say that i am paranoid.. it upsets me but i have no choice... i wish they are on my shoes... but i know i gotta relax a little... next month is our anniversary and he wont be here on that day... but he'll come on a later date... may GOd bless me with strength... and peace of mind...

Its very hard to say, but yeah take the advise from all of us "Have all your documents for each step ready"

I received the I-130 approval letter by snail mail within 7 days.

I called ONE time NVC and was told to give them 20 working days to generate case # and invoice.

So I be calling this coming Monday in hopes to receive it.

I have four steps after and hope I do well without any grievance from NVC side.

Don't forget printing everything and making copies of all you send out.

I say with my case# and invoice number I should run through this within the next 2 weeks,

and wait for them to finish up...and pray plenty...

Thank u for the advice sonjat,update ur every steps.Do u think i may get everything done (i mean my interview date) in 2 months?,have any idea

I pray you do. I know your anxious. Don't waste your time calling NVC right away. It takes at least one week mailing from Vermont to New Hampshire. Readerchoice and I listed above what we expect to do, or did already.

I hope your consulate has quick interview appointments available. Check with medical, how long in advance it can be done.

Have your original birth certificate and police clearance ready. Fill out the DS-230 already. (You might be able to file this one electronically). Have all your AOS papers (tax) ready.

I say in general use the week waiting to adjust yourself for what is to come.

Stay peaceful.

I was saw many profiles on NVC March & April thread, as from the time a person submit DS-3032 to acceptance or respond from NVC is around <3 days. I assume they put on the subject line>> Supervisor review..... <<< so that's why it so fast. I was thinking about it but afraid they may rejected message cause of the time line.

Yeah, it very difficult if you have co-sponsor or join and the worst part is, she live at different state. Also many feel uncomfortable showing their W2 to other even though in this case to sponsor you as her sister. It's called the American way....

Cheer up!!! be happy and everything will get done soon or later.

nah i'm feeling worst now... my sister just called and tell me... "bad news, the SSN number that i used in filing my tax return is my husband's SSN..."... she filed it last january... so so so so common... i'm no longer expecting that our case will be done this month... previously, she was complaining about sending a copy of her W2... and now............ oh GOd! i wish i can do it by myself...

That sound like a mess and you're stuck in a catch 22. I hope things will get clear up soon and on your way.
