April 2014 I-130 Filers

[Rlelle09 28]

My step son's petition ended up at Nebraska, 04/15/2014 NOA1. I'll be surprised if we hear anything before the seven-eight month point. My wife's petition (filed last year, in May) took nine months. 14 Months total, from NOA1 to her having the Visa in hand. She wanted to wait until the court granted her sole custody, before we filed for her son.

I'll bet the April filers getting approved are all DCF, or expedites. The rest of us have just begun the wait.

I did not file DCF, nor was I expedited, not by request anyway. :-)

They say I should get the first step, before NVC done by mid august... we are hanging on...

I just cant beleive I'll be 1 year without being with my husband... and my son without a father for 1 year as well... it is pretty depressing to me.

Well then you are lucky Rlelle09... and the rest of us have to wait in line...

I'm sorry that you have to be without your husband. I really hope you hear some good news soon. My family really has no rush to leave as my husband (the USC) is here in Canada with me and our children, but we had been in a long distance relationship for 5 years before he moved here so I do understand how you are feeling. Sending prayers your way. :-)

We've been in a long distance relationship 3 years on 7/2...it's hard, but we have to be patient with the process or it will drive us crazy. Hopefully we all hear sooner than September!!

Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. It's been hard, my husband missed his son 1st birthday... I just hope we can be together soon. If it's hard for me, stock in Quebec-Canada with my son it is definitely harder on my husband who is without his wife and son...

Many people do it without an attorney & people are helpful here, for us we believe it was worth the money because we wanted to make sure we were thorough & didn't think we could do it without him.

Ok... I'll look into it, thx I am in Quebec city, they are hard to find it...

Hi! We just paid for our AOS Fee last july14 and was processed july 16. Completed DS260 the same day. Do we need to wait for any hard copy mails or emails from nvc or can we proceed with sending the documents needed and the cover letter with receipt? Thanks
