Can't believe there's a May 2014 thread.. I started in May 2013, and along with others who started in the beginning of 2013, we are finally slowly making our way to approvals for I-130s and case compl

what else can we do while we wait for the approval letter?

Pretty much just wait. I save my conversations with my husband. We hardly email, mostly use chat apps like whatsapp so I feel it might be important to keep a backup of them for when they ask during the interview process.

I've also pretty much just been reading a lot on the documents required at every step. I don't think you can get the police certificate or medical examination done ahead of time so there's not much to do for now.

What's your priority date?

We saved a copy of our chat from Skype, from a computer not hand held device. Printed out only four months of chat which was over 100 pages. Follow your lawyers advice, piss him off and you have another group who may slow you down just because... Me, I was going that route but family said no, just fill out paper work since you never filled before. No trouble in your past nor theirs. Give them every thing they ask for and what ever they say is optional. It alleviates the RFE since now you sent in all that information ahead of time.

BTW - Approved at Nebraska Center in 18 days. How ever NVC sent me a notice they were extending the 30 days to 60 days due to so many requests coming in. Don't be surprised when you get bogged down at NVC...

Yeah you can do that, or I think Skype saves conversations for up to 90 days as well.. I would print them out every few days or like every week.

I email myself the whatsapp conversation daily after we're done talking for the day. I use Tango for the voice/video chat and it shows the date, time and the length of the call. I'll print that out as well.

I think these things will be asked of the beneficiary, so I'll just have a packet ready and send it to my husband before his interview date comes.

One of my cousin's had 4000 pages of viber conversations.

Hi all!! Im in the us and my husband is in the DR. We got our NOA1 May 06 from the Vermont processing center. Heres to hoping for a fast NOA2 :)

Awesome! I'm also at Vermont and my PD is May 5th.

Nebraska seems to be working on both February and early March at the same time, but there are quite a few December/January filers that haven't been approved yet. It's all a little confusing right now. I think everyone that filed during the last two weeks of February got transferred to California and Texas in the beginning of July (so those are no longer at NSC, and that should speed things up). A new batch of transfers seems to have started yesterday, this time for people who filed during the last week of March and the first week of April. I got the transfer email yesterday, but I don't know where yet. I'm not sure what's going on at NSC right now but hopefully the transfers will speed things up for everyone.

My guess is that the ones in Dec/Jan are going through the "additional background checks" for whatever reason, though I've seen a couple of approvals for March and some of April are being transferred, so expect May in the next few weeks......hopefully.

3/9/15 - Called NVC and they have checklisted us for an "incorrect" decree absolute from the UK, even though it is the legal official document. Have requested a supervisor review.

4/28/15 - Called and NVC said supervisor had reviewed and now claimed that the decree absolute was not included. After disagreeing with the less than helpful lady on the phone, and her not being able to get the review time right. (She kept changing her story between 42 days and 30 days).

May 29th. You?

Im at the very end of may! Hoping for an approval by the middle of September.

I would guess that ppl who need more evidence send in would be placed in the back and us keep moving forward.

May 5th. Yeah that's what makes sense, let's see. Though USCIS last week told me my 5 months would be October so expect it then but I know many people have gotten it earlier. A friend of mine got her approval letter after 3 months.

I hope. I know some ppl from his country said the whole process took them 6-7 months to complete then some other people said it took them 14-18 months to complete. It seems like there were no inbetweens to the people we have talked to. He is from the same country that I was born in I just came to the United States through my parents/
