The ARN has nothing to do with citizenship status. It's a glitch in USCIS' system and is really an arbitrary number. NSC seems to be the only service center sending that notice (except for 1 person sent to CSC), and even then not everyone got the notice. It seems to have no bearig on approval status.

Just a glitch they aren't fixing :/

Hmmm...interesting. It seems I am the only one from VSC that received one of these messages. Was hoping at least it meant someone was working on my case. Guess I'll just have to wait and see!

Well its just a crazy process, in my humble opinion. Way too much red tape, way too much nonsense, and its because of all that red tape and nonsense that we all have to wait 704 years just to get some

I requested the Police clearance for my husband from here at the afghan consulate in los anageles... even though the US embassy in afghanistan kabul emailed me saying it is not required for afghan or pakistan residents????

The ARN is not a glitch, but the notification before approval is a glitch (as not everyone gets that notification).

The ARN change has nothing to do with the approval... mine was changed back in January and I still haven't heard anything from them. I'm guessing that was when my I-130 and I-129f were "merged". It prolly does mean your petition got looked at by someone but it could just mean for that ARN and nothing else- sorry guys :(

6/5/2013 got married

11/14/2013 mailed I-130

11/19/2013 I-130 NOA1 (NSC)

12/20/2013 mailed I-129f (just in case)

12/27/2013 I-129f NOA1 (NSC)

1/2/2014 ARN changed on both I-130 and I-129f

1/7/2014 I-129f updated/touched?

11/10/2014 NOA2 FINALLY!!! (after 356 days & 4 service requests)

Yes !! Here they don't care about Approval notification. They required USCIS any letter which has name of beneficiary ... :D

Oh I c, If you don't mind, could you please explain me what kind of (USCIS) letter they would need so that I will ask my wife to mail me and I can apply for the PCC. Do you mean, I will need NOA1 or NOA2 hard copies. Honestly I never saw both of them, so I am not sure that my name have been mentioned on the same!!

Well, I really wants to apply for PCC, because I will need from Singapore as well as from India, and on the top of this I am constantly traveling. I am not sure, whether I will have enough time or not to apply for the PCC from both the places before my interview.

Married on : 2012/10/15
