Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

I was so excited that my K3 made it to the NVC.. I completely forgot to ask about my I-130.. What a derp..... UGHHHH

Woops! Well, the best path to a K3 involves pretending the CR1 doesn't exist, right? So far so good ^_^

So i finally sent out the IV Package today and was also able to fill out DS-260.. it was super easy and only took me around 40 minutes i would say as i prepared everything beforehand with the 2014 screen shots that someone posted.

Also not sure if this it country specific, but i only had to fill in my present employer and job information and they also didnt ask for my education background, so pretty easy on that part. I didnt take new screen shots, but like i said it was pretty much like the other 2014 ones.

i have to say that after all the wait for a case number it only took my husband and i another week to pay everything and send everything in, so it looks like nvc is working their butts off which i appriciate a lot.. now praying and waiting for no checklists and a case complete this month.

i m banned from march thread and i m approved in march......don't know y? i followed the thread on march 27 :angry:

The March thread is closed to everyone. At the beginning of each new month, everyone currently going through NVC moves to the new month's thread. It's not like the I-130 threads where you stick with your month for the whole process.

I already told you in the PM you sent me that no one can post there. You're not banned. I can't even post in March anymore. As BOS_LHR said already (and as I said near the end of the March thread), everyone moves to the CURRENT month. It doesn't matter when you're approved, everyone goes to the current month, every month.

Did you get an text message saying your case was shipped to the NVC? My case hasn't been received yet either. I received the text on March 21st. I heard TSC takes forever to send the cases out. GRRRRRRRRRRR :ranting:

When we got the NOA2 hard copy, it stated that the petition was approved and that they sent the original visa petition to NVC. The notice date is March 6. If it was sent on March 6, then why hasn't it reached NVC yet? I see from your signature that you got the case number, congratulations. Which case number is it, I-130 or K-1?

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."

I just called and they told me that May interviews are being scheduled...everyone who calls today should ask and we'll see what the answer is!

So I just got off of the phone with the NVC, they have recieved and reviewed all the civil documents that we have sent (AOS packet, IV packet) the rep said all looks good. They have accepted the DS 261 (Agent of choice application), they are now just waiting to review the DS260 (Immigration Visa Application) so that can be added to the case. She said to wait for 30 business days. :crying: Do y'all really think it will take 30business days, since all other civil documents are in order and all the fees have been paid?

I also asked what month they are scheduling interviews, and the lady said that they are still scheduling for April interviews. I also asked what month the London embassy is still scheduling interviews, and the lady said still for April.... :clock::clock: so does my husband have any hope for getting an interview this month, or is the NVC rep lady just lying?

I am the petitioner (USC). My husband is Senegalese.
