I gotta say.. from the stories i heard the USCIS was supposed to be the one who takes the longest but in my case NVC was far worse then the USCIS!

Everything for me went smooth with the USCIS.. The NVC however took way longer. Even had bad customer reps hang up on me.

From now on...

NVC has the bad rep not the USCIS

My experience was the other way around. My USCIS i130 app took 5 months (Nov 23 - April 24) to approve. My NVC process took less than a month to get approved. Submitted AOS package on June 24 and IV package on June 28. Got approved today, July 16. All the NVC reps I talked so far have been nice. Had a couple of bad USCIS reps who refused to transfer me to Tier 2 rep. I hope you have better luck :)

Sorry for your luck with the NVC. But at least you got through the USCIS process really quickly :) I guess you were part of the new I864 application the USCIS released but didn't give instructions to NVC on how to process it, sucks. Oh well...it all evens out in the end..you got your case approved! Congrats.

You got lucky with the USCIS. Had you had to wait the actual 6 months like many have reading these forums then your wait with the NVC would have seemed fast.

Count your blessings :)

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

So the USCIS took one month for you and you're unhappy their employees have vacations? Lol.

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

1 month at USCIS and you not learn, prior, that NVC doc intake does take almost 2 months?

OK !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
