Dear myimmhelp:

Your case is similar to mine. I have filed for my mom on Dec. 7, 2012. I received my NOA with MSC #. By February 5, 2013 I went to the USCIS website and changed my mailing address. I got email confirming that the mailing address was changed as requested. After that I had to do the long wait as well. I didn't hear anything since then. I was getting impatient until on May 29, 2013 I got a text message and an e-mail from USCIS stating that my case was APPROVED! and has been transferred to NVC. Three days later, June 1, 2013, I received the approval letter from the National Benefit Center. Now I'm just waiting for the NVC to contact me and provide me with a visa case number. I would suggest that you be patient just a little bit more. I don't know where you filed your I-130 but note that each service center is different when it comes to the speed they process cases. But I'd definitely believe that you will hear from them this June and what not.

BenM

Was this for your parents . I send my application to AZ lockbox and that's it

I called up USCIS in between and they told me that your application is with your local office . I did not get the message on line that your Case is transferred to your local office ........ And then on wards the wait continue

I am 6 months with USCIS today

BenM- most people here on VJ don't wait on NVC to 'send them something' - they , instead, use a telephone to kick-start the process.

Study Lingche in the wiki - the steps are exactly the same for a parent.

I got my I-179, NOA2/approval notice last april 5, 2013, 60 days after they received it.....until now NVC never received the approved petition from NBS..........i was informed by ncsc that the transfer time frame of an approved petition (IR Category) from National Benefits Services (NBS) to National Visa Center (NVC) is 90 days....so sad, so the caption on the I-797 that NBS had sent it to NVC is a big fat no,....the transfer process before was maximum of 14 days.

@Darnell thanks for the heads up! @myimmhelp Yes, the petition was for my mom. My petition was filed at the Chicago Lock box. Approval letter came from Missouri. Arizona is probably slower. But also it depends on how many cases they have to process. Some service center receive more applications than other while some service centers might have more immigration officers than other.

The same as me!

I applied january 5 2013 and till now i dont hear anything about it. They just send me reciept lnowing that they received the payment..

But then we ask a congressman foe help and the secretary told us that our papers is waitng for a sign from the local government here in fairfax va. They said call them again (congressman) if i dont hear anything about it before end of june. And we cant check the status online with the "msc" receipt.

Is this normal waitng to long just for sign? Is that "sign" is about approving ones petition!? Or denying it. Im so clueless with this process.

Fyi. I heared from them that uscis is backlog... And thats an "oh no!" For us waitng in vain.

[Darnell 8,478]

ok - that's weird - when i replied to yer thing, you were listed as a k-1 visa .

now yer listed as an I-1 visa.

I still refer you to the guides, however - we've a section for petitioner for parents.
