Thank you so much! I was worried I had missed some mail. Do you know what the next steps after the approval are? I'm contemplating going to the US for 3 months to see my husband as my work contract is coming to an end. And I'm not sure if its the best thing to do seeing I'm nearing the end of this process and not knowing what the next steps are.

We got transferred to Texas. I note they are waay behind and we have a PD of July 16th. Interestingly, we received another text but not email to say there had been an update but the last "touched" date remains the same. We continue to wait in the meantime going to book another holiday to see my husband!

Was pretty sure that we'd signed up for e-notifications, so was borderline OCD checking for news of a transfer but nuthin'...

Lo 'n' behold, Wifey gets 2 envelopes on Saturday from USCIS informing us that our I-130 & I-129f were transferred on January 8 to CSC. Whoop whoop - happy dance kicking.gif

Hi guys,

We were transferred to CSC on Jan 8, 2013. Not sure how to edit this in my timeline. I do have a question though, I'm in Canada and I'm going to have a change of address in the next month or so. I've been out of the country for the last 3 months and not sure what all mail I've missed even though I did have a forwarding address. My husband received the transfer notice in Florida, but would USCIS be mailing me anything? Also, once its approved...does anyone know what the next steps are and how long approximately it takes to get an interview? Is the approval notice the NOA2 and does the US Citizen receive it?

Thank you...you guys are the only reason this process is somewhat tolerable.

Please go to https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19ge0v9iwSqX3VQFbTccvMQnoLChhNiOOtMuRRk4nICs/viewform to be added to the July spreadsheet so that we can help each other track how things are progressing at the service centers... You can view the spreadsheet here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqbNd1-VjCT-dDhTSDFVcGJOSE5tMmR5dkRYUk9mYUE&usp=sharing#gid=0 Make sure to use your visajourney username so it's easier to know you on spreadsheet.

Your NOA1 (for I-130 or /and for I-129) is from Overland Park or Lee's Summit?

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/475552-non-transferred-cases/

Unsure, I am out of the country for work and my copy of NOA 1 is back in the US.

Congrats to all the approvals and transfers! Seems like a busy month for July filers :D

Have any approved July filers received an NVC case number yet, or at least confirmed with the NVC that the petition has been received?

Called NVC today. NVC received my file on Jan 6th 2014. Not yet entered the sytem. Was told to wait for 8 weeks.

I don't think any of the areas around the service centers are getting bad weather, are they? Everything is certainly fine at NBC, they have no reason not to be operational. I would think the storm is more likely to impact field offices if anything.
