WOW WE GOT IT! GLORY! What a tremendous relief!! :dance::dance:

Really it has been ridiculous ever since I sent in the RFE – I’ve been checking USCIS site literally every few minutes – to see if anyone touched us. Suddenly just now 3 emails came in saying we had been approved – Yipee! Now I will be too busy gathering all paperwork and studying and reading and copying and organizing for the interview that I will have no time to worry about waiting for the NVC and foreign consulate to get on their tails (yah, sure).

Thanks all for the encouragement all this time! Best of luck for everyone else to get their NOA2’s FAST!!! :thumbs:

Congrats!!!!

I have filed I-130 last week in Delhi, and it all went really smooth.

The lady at the winow said we will hear from the Chennai consulate within 2 months or so !

Now I have some questions regarding what next..

What they told us is to wait for the response from Chennai. And as you said, we didnt get the packet 3/3.5(?) from the window.

I guess you had a similar experience. How long did it take for you to get the packet 3?

Did you do some follow up after your filing? if yes, could you please send me the email/phone# for communication?

Regarding afidavit of support, since my wife is not working here in India, we need to get the income of her parents(household members I 864A)

Is it needed for them to notarize the I 864A, since they are sending it from the US?

if she has a bank balance of 16500 USD which is the 125% of the poverty line income, would that be enough? It might be safe to include the income of her parents too right?

I can get an offer letter from the head quarters of my company which is in Washington where I can continue my job in the US. Can I include that in the aphidavit of support?

Since the objective of this is to make sure that I wont be a public charge, An assured job offer would be a possible item to include. So is there a way I can include it?

I really appreciate if anyone could shed more light on these questions.

thank you so much

Geophil,
