May 2013 I-130 Filers

[shama786 14]

We got our Interview Date email late Wednesday night. Now we're just going through everything, making sure we have all the documents ready for it.

Good luck to all the other May filers out there. It shouldn't be too long now.

Eric when did your i130 transferred and how long the gap was in between transferred and interview? Mine i130 got sent to wrong local uscis office but they fixed it and immigration officer said she will receive the file by middle of next week and then I will have to wait for my interview!

I was just wondering how much longer its gona take its been 11 months since I filled i130 for my husband!!!!!

Our case was transferred on December 13, 2013.

​From transfer to interview is 4 months and 18 days. USCIS received our I-130 on May 15, 2013.

I recommend calling the NVC at least once a week to find out the status. That's what I did.

Thanks Eric for responding I have been calling them and finally they moved the i130 to my local field office and they said I might have interview if needed but is it normal for petitioner to attend the in the usa? I thought they only interview the applicants!

No problem. The interview is after they send the case to the NVC and you have filed DS-260 Immigration Visa Application. Once they approve the application, they will give you an interview date. Generally only the visa applicant goes to the interview, but the petitioner can go as well if they want to.

For us, it was a couple months later, but every case is different. Keep contacting them and it should help.

I completely understand. My wife was/is the same way. But once the I-130 gets approved, the process moves a bit faster. Just hold out a little longer.
