Hello,

I hope most of the feb filers got their approval. And I believe others who haven't got the approval, they are really close,just in a matter of days.

I do have question, how many of the feb approvers have got their NVC case# so far? Is there any place we can find out this info?

Thanks

I don't know what it could be, we'll see, I'll inform you guys... you know it's been 9,5 months, the case traveled true America more than me :))) maybe some document is lost. :)

We'll give that what they will ask, what else can we do.

Hi,

I think we'll receive hard copy before Christmas or before new years day. I was reading your posts and saw that your husband spoke with tier 2 and they mentioned two weeks. What can we do except waiting. My husband was trying to call them yesterday and never reached to tier 2, he received explanation that telephone system doesn't function and that we must wait for the letter where is explained what they need. He'll probably try to call them in Monday.

i dont know if you have read my last post on here .Our last update was this:

Initial Review

On November 12, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance. if you noticed it has been almost one month and there is nothing new in our case we call them and told us expect we got letter in 2 weeks and that everything was ok !!!!!! The only thing i will say is what the hell is going on there ??!!!!!!!!!!protest6wz.gif protest6wz.gif protest6wz.gif
