CONGRATULATIONS Abezyo.

We are new to this website and page. We applied end of November, and received our NOA 1 a couple of days later which shows to be from NBC. Did your case move to Atlanta? does every case get moved- or what is going on? Have not been notified by our lawyers about any changes. From what I we understand the Atlanta office is quite busy and cases ending there take longer.

CONGRATULATIONS once again.

Thank you November filers! Greatly appreciated! All I-130s that are stand-alone moved to local offices of the residing USC after August 15. If you are living abroad your case most likely stayed at the NBC. But there was a few rare cases I saw where someone was living abroad and it was transferred to a local office (they got into a big mess. They were danish.) My NOA1 date was August 21, 2012. My last update was September 4, 2012. So im assuming thats when it arrived in Atlanta. Atlanta is one of the busier places right now averaging around 7 1/2 months for an approval post August 15. I hope my information is helpful and you get a quick approval! Good luck! :)

thank you for the information. Nothing but time will fix it all. We can talk about it until the cows come home- but we can not change anything until the pile of paperwork shrinks and reaches our individual cases.

I dunno if this was the reasoning behind my NOA2 but the day of my approval and the day I got my hardcopy NOA2 I recieved an email from my congressman and a letter from my senator. Maybe you guys should write them all. Thats what I did. I havnt seen treva in a while. She had a NOA1 date before me. :)

I wrote to one of my senators, and he replied with a letter from USCIS Atlanta office last week that they do have my file, and hope to begin processing I-130s this month. This is really crazy, they said March, now April. I do have the consent forms from the other senator and my congress man. I will send those out on Monday. This process is just killing. Thinking about making another info pass appoitment mid next week to see what is really going on there. I am getting close to 7 months, and dont want to wait until 8 months before taking action.

Its been a while since Treva posted a comment here, and i wont be surprised that she received her NOA2 but just didnt update her timeline. I dont blame her, she was probably tire of reading same old #######.

Thank you Abezyo. How is the NVC process? This link could be very helpful:
