May 2013 I-130 Filers

[jsumner86 403]

I-130 approved, finally, since early May PD. On average, it looks like similar cases from China on average are getting assigned an NVC case number within 30 days, as some have already noted. Lawyer says within 60 days. Sorry for those still waiting for NOA2, keep finding more ways to connect with your love.

Finally!, Congratulations!!!

Yeah I am the only one left it will be a year in a week :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

Have you e-mailed any of those people yet?? Keep e-mailing them until you get you what you want!!

I'm not saying you shouldn't ping for the case status (you should), but one lawyer has told me that if you e-mail them too often (ie. more than once a month), they could delay your application out of spite or simply block your e-mail address. The reason being: they are people too and can get annoyed, especially if your e-mails are not respectful.

Congrats on staying on top of your case.. this immigration stuff can definitely seem like an extra job. Let us know when your petition is approved.

Congratulations on your I-130 petition being approved. Now the NVC process will be so much faster than what you had to go through already. I sometimes wonder how people keep their sanity and go about doing their daily chores and work with this much stress on the back of their mind.

Call NVC about once a week to find out if they have actually received your case.

My wife actually cannot handle the stress, and so I do all of the visa processing myself. A way to love your spouse.

Sorry, I have one question: the NVC will not give you an e-mail when they receive your case, only when they assign a case number? Thanks, bkghosh.

Actually, they are pretty slow in sending out their emails. So it is better to call them periodically (probably once a week) and find updates on your case status. So in your case the first milestone is if and when they have 'officially' received your case from USCIS. Next, they will assign a Case # and IIN. This could take another month or so (from the case receipt date). At this point you will be able to give them the petitioner and beneficiary (applicant) email IDs. After that you will be able to log in to the CEAC website and complete the remaining transactions there:

1. Fill in the DS-261

2. Pay the AOS Fee

3. Pay the IV Fee

4. Fill in the DS-260

All of this could take another month or so.

Thanks for that information. I do have a lawyer, so most of this info will probably go to him, and he has all of our bio information already, but he does not actively follow up with the DOS, something I've found is necessary to make sure you application doesn't get buried or slowed down.

Is this the NVC number you called? 603-334-0700 (http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/nvc/nvc-contact-information.html) Thanks!

yes, that's the number to contact them. They're open from 7AM-midnight Eastern Standard Time (US East coast).

Follow the NVC thread for May 2014, helpful information, and there's a wiki on the whole NVC process as well. It will help you and get all the paperwork you need to submit for it.
