Hello everyone in the March group. Has anyone had any new updates? Any approvals for the I-130? I'm think about about a tourist visa for my husband who lives and works in the UK, but nationality is Indian. Will this affect the I-130 case? Thank you.

Hi, my wife applied for tourist visa and got denied a week ago even though she had all the supporting documents that she.ll come back as not to endanger our I-130 petition. The CO told her to wait for I-130 can you believe it?

I actually had a friend apply for a Schengen visa after applying for a spousal visa and she was told the same thing. Even though she had been granted one before. I think it's a common place thing.

I believe the PCC from India is valid only for 6months. So its better to wait, until you receive NOA2.

When did u file?

found this...

4) USCIS sends I-130 approval notice called NOA2 to the petitioner and the case is forwarded to NVC in 1 to 2 weeks

Tip to speed up NVC: In order to save some time in NVC, obtain beneficiary's Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) at around the I-130 approval time. PCC may be valid for 1 year, 6 months, 3 months or even 1 month, so please check with the beneficiary's Consulate.

Hi, my wife applied for tourist visa and got denied a week ago even though she had all the supporting documents that she.ll come back as not to endanger our I-130 petition. The CO told her to wait for I-130 can you believe it?

Yeah, they are not allowing us ( beneficiaries) to enter to US while I-130 in progress. So many scenarios I have heard, same thing happened to my friend, she already checked in, but when she got there at the immigration, the IO denied her entry.

That's why we do not want to take the risk of buying ticket and everything, then at the end we will be sent back home. So, my husband will come ever here in canada to celebrate with us our daughter's 1st bday. We are still waiting for our approval too. Mine only anyway, coz my daughter is already a US citizen.

keep praying...

My Journey:

March 29, 2013 :PD Dec-20, 2013 USCIS approval date July 28. 2015 (F) (F) (F)Interview Date APPROVED.

A VJ member got the PCC within an hour. Better to get PCC after receipt of NOA2 as no one can predict how long it will take to get NOA2 and how long before the interview will be scheduled. If you get PCC now, its validity may expire by the time you have your interview and you will have to get another one anyway.

Ok so I called the USCIS twice, yesterday and today to get a status update on my case since I cant view it online. Yesterday the tier 2 told me that he will send a message to the person who's handling my case (means my case was already assigned to an immigration officer, right?) and he then said to wait 30-45 days for decision. Now a while ago I called them again just to be sure, Spoke to another Tier 2 and then told me that my case was still pending and still at NBC and wait 30-45 days for decision. I got 2 same answers to wait 30-45 days. Hopefully its true :)
