I'll start with mine.

We are approved on November 7 (mother's case) and 13 (father's case). I called today, Monday and the officer said that my mother's petition has just arrived in the NVC building and it will take another 2-4 weeks for an officer to put it in the system and once it's there, the NVC number will be available. Once I get my mom's NVC number, then I will call for my dad's.

So around a month and a half-two months from approval to case number? That puts me around mid- to late January somewhere... I think that'll work fine. We will have filed the 2013 taxes by then.

Oh I'm not really sure, because many cases move differently, Kerran's case arrived at the NVC the same day as me, and my petition was shipped a week earlier than her, I think so we will probably get the NVC number around at the same time.

I did call them.

I called today, and got my mother's NVC number. The lady did say that I can't do anything yet, until they send me further instructions. Let's see, I thought I could all ready start filling up papers online..

[bryn&ellen 13]

I received the emails today to send DS-261 Choice of Agent and to pay for Affidavit of Support (AOS) processing fee. I did it, and now waiting for the AOS to show paid.

Hi,

I am a married son of US citizen, my I130 approved on July 2009, Since then, I am waiting for Visa from NVC, it says that my priority date is Sep 2005, and currently they are processing April 2003, is there a way to accelerate it? my father is sick and I am worried that I wont be able to see him, noting that I tried for visit visa, but it was denied.

Best Regards,

Hani Ahmad

Hi VJ family,

Question, for the lV package we have to submit all the original papers (i.e. our parents birth certificate, marriage certificate etc. ) So, the only way we can do it is tell our parents to send it to us and then we can send it to NVC. Or u s it safe for our parents to send it from abroad. I really don't get it
