Just to give an update, the NVC finally received our case today. Took them exactly 2 months.

Good to hear it! :) Congrats and good luck with the rest of the process... it really does seem fast!

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

08 Jul 2013: SSN received (at SSA office)

07 Aug 2013: Green Card received

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

15 May 2014: Received formal residency/work permission (GNIB card with Stamp 4, one year renewable) for the ROI

My I-130 was approved on March 29th and is still not at NVC. I sent a scanned copy to research@NVC and got the standard return email that they are checking with USCIS. My husband is the petitioner and when he was here we called USCIS and spoke to a tier 2 rep. He said he was unable to tell if it had left the service center yet and put in a request to have it sent. He then gave me some long a$$ confirmation number to use if I need to call back. Has anyone else received a confirmation number from USCIS? I've haven't seen it mentioned on any of the threads yet. I can't call them back because they will only talk to the petitioner and since my husband is not here anymore he can't give them permission to talk to me. My next step is to get my husband to contact his congressman. I'm so frustrated!!!
