Very happy for those who get approved so quick but is a lil unfair how many people have to wait months to get approved.

We filed at the beginning of the month through the Chicago office. It took about a week but it was received and approved and is now on its way to the California office.

As I had file in October and I still follow this thread some I just wanted to add some advice for those that are getting their petition approve and sent to the NVC to save time, as you have already waited long enough for the USCIS. NO need to wait more at the NVC then you need to

1 it takes a couple of weeks for them to receive case do not wait for an e-mail call them after a while to see if they have case

2 they will tell you it takes a while to get case number again do not wait call

3 once you fill out the DS-261 form, they will tell you that it takes a while for them to review it . after a while call and have them do it over the phone if one agent will not do it call until one will

4 I-864 form fill out the ez version if you can it is much shorter and easier

5 do not wait until all fees and forms are fill out to send in the AOS and Iv documents, once the AOS fee is paid you can print two AOs document cover sheet use one with each packet alone with the NVC welcome letter document checklist when NVC receives it that will be your scan date

while you are waiting to pay your IV fee and fill out the DS-260 form your documents will already be there and the so call 60 days of reviewing documents would of had already started

good luck to every one still waiting for approval. I hope this will help to save time at NVC as you have already waited long enough

Hi j&ana!

Just want to know if its ok to just scan the NVC welcome letter and send it to my husband? I don't want to wait for the IV cover sheet, it's been so long.

No need to wait! Just use a copy of the NVC welcome letter cover sheet. A scanned copy to your husband will work fine. Just make sure the bar code is clear. It's that bar code that identifies your case. Good luck! :star:

Just wanna update you guys.We have a checklist,oh well ? Hubby forgot to answer one of the question.

Sorry to hear about the checklist. :cry: Hopefully you can get the corrected information to NVC right away. I've read the processing times are quoted at 45 days now, but I'm sure I've seen some case completes closer to 30 days after documents were scanned in. I hope they give you a speedy CC! :yes:

Hi all....so happy to see all these approvals! Mine was just approved on 3/30 and sent to NVC on 4/8.

I have 2 questions:

1. My husband is currently in Japan - Will NVC send all documents to me (my U.S. address or my email) or his address in Japan? For the record I did put down my email on G-1145 form.

2. My income in 2014 and current income meet the Poverty guideline but not in 2013 and 2012 (was a student back then). Will this be an issue during the AOS process?

Thank you all!!
