ALL Potomac I-130 Filers (New Center) [merged threads]

[happiestoflives 15]

Sure... However you filed 2mo before I did so that may be the difference thus far....again I'm really hoping for the best because, I really miss n need my husband right now!!

I appreciate your kindness at this moment... Thank you much

I know I filed quite a bit before you, but they really still don't need the 6 months. Have faith! I did not expect out approval this fast, I was shocked when I noticed our case had already been sent off (it happened before we received the paper NOA2)!

I miss my SO as well, but we're all there soon. Being in Potomac is good. For the time being, how about you read up on the NVC process so that you already know what will happen and what you need to take care of soon? Maybe that can keep you busy for a bit. If you notice approvals very close to your date, you could start gathering the necessary documents already. We weren't fast enough, so we're still very early in the NVC stage. I wish we had dealt with the forms that need to be filled out sooner (especially Affidavit of Support / I-864 and the likes.

You should be contacting your nearest US Congressman who would help you in investigating as to where your case is. Also, have you spoken to a Tier 2 officer?

You'll get approved soon. For some reason, the transferred cases take so much longer, but those sent directly to Potomac are usually pretty fast.

As for filling out AOS: You can fill it out online, but you have to print it and sign it yourself (that is, the petitioner has to do that). As for the check stubs, I'm afraid I don't know. We didn't send that.

I second amren's statement: Have you contacted your US congressman? If not, do it asap!

I have contacted my state congressman office

And he emails them to potomac and they tell them pretty much the same thing everytime. That my file is undergoing background check clearance. It's been a while like this i don't know how long this background check takes. I also submitted a case inquiry early this month and they told me that I should recieve something from them in 60 days. I don't believe them because they said the same thing more than 3 months ago!

The same situation here PD was september 28, 2015 and stuck for security checks pending. unfortunately nothing we can do and nobody can help. just wait wait wait

from what i see on old same situations it take for them between 10 months and 1 year to be approved.

hopefully you hear something soon

I have a quick question for people who are at the NVC stage, how long it took them to assign you a case? Also when you guys filled out the application, is there a guideline available or a sample available? I want to start gathering my information before i receive the NOA2.

My PD for my husband is March 22 so I am hoping that I receive an answer sometime this week.

It's terrible...this waiting game!! I hope we hear something too. Eve tho I feel like I'll hit that one year mark before I get the approval! :-(

The process is truly something else. My case was finally approved on June 7 and sent to the Department of State NVC on June 13. Although waiting for the approval seemed like an eternity, proving the marriage was real was easy. I hired an immigration attorney for this next process because a visa is not guaranteed. And this process is more difficult. We are praying it doesn't not take more than 3 months but who knows. September will be a year since we were married. Good luck to all and I'm glad we can support each other on here. I guess we are all learning the meaning of patience. I just visited my husband a few weeks ago because I missed him like crazy.

Case finally approved after 9 months

[Brazil2USA2016 7]

No but what i´ve noticed is that either they skip numbers or they don´t follow a specific order.

i was literally checking one by one on friday and there was 1 "approved" and the next 20 or so "received" then 1 or 2 requesting for RFE, then 1 "approved" then 13 "received" and so on.......

so what number are they up to? I've been check around YSC1690038250 and have found a few approvals, although I'd take a bet they are further than that.
