February 2016 I-130 filers

Just saw a case 3 before mine was approved today. I'll stay positive and hope for this week!

One thing I noticed in my Case # series is today was the day for RFEs. Way more today than recently... Yesterday had 3 RFEs, today was 11.

[JFH 12,191]

I have noticed they tend to issue RFEs in groups.

[HMMFE 0]

Yeah, me too. I'm assuming that they get shunted off to another group that processes the RFE paperwork and that piles up a bit from time to time.

My approval at USCIS did take 4 months also, so don't worry and just remember it's better at 4 months and some weeks because 6 months sucks!

I just called NVC no case yet. They did say to allow for 6 weeks since date of my approval notice. But I received notice they sent to NVC late last week, so we hoping. Either way doesn't matter...

Waiting on police reports and need to know if have to get any court records. Hubby wasn't a angel in his early 20s.

And I'm waiting to know what income I'm putting down. Not sure if my raise is going through this month or next. Though my boss did sign letter with old income just in case and original is in England. If a new one is needed the scanned copy will have to do. Lol He can show both along with pay stubs. And he doesn't have signed 864EZ for any scenario. (Signature page has no other info on it if prepared by petitioner.)

Good news is found an apartment with Dal while he was here for vacation. We both liked it. But with the prospect of moving while so close to end of process we got a PO Box for this to ensure nothing gets lost. And going to keep it for next 4 years until citizenship process done then no more immigration process... at least on the USA side.

Hey guys. Just an update on us. We had our interview but no approval. We got a 221g asking for two more copies of I-864a. They kept our passports. My CEAC status shows Ready. My sons' AP.

We hope to get them the paper by Monday!

Oh! My hubby did ask her if she can tell us if we are approved. She said she can't guarantee approval and that we have to wait their decision.

Another day gone by... Nothing approved within my range today (or just not updated yet). Two more day in the week!

[JFH 12,191]

Three approvals and three RFEs in my batch but we were in neither group.

Tomorrow is another day.

This is Stressful ..My batch has a few approved before and after mine,, Hopefully this week we'll see an approval ..

Tomorrow makes exactly 4 months !!!!

Yes it is... Fingers, toes and eyes are crossed !!!

I used to get excited seeing approvals coming in and thinking they were getting closer to our file. Now it's just frustrating. Especially to see approvals for files received after ours.

I still have some sense that this is the week, but today was a total let down. I've only just started the watch but yeah, I'm starting to just get frustrated to the point I don't want to check anymore.

[JFH 12,191]

I had a feeling today would be the day. I had a recurring dream all last night that we hadn't been approved after 1 year so I went to the London embassy (no idea why) to enquire and they laughed me out of the building saying there was no such thing as a spouse visa. I was so busy today at work I didn't get a chance to check anything and I thought to myself "the approval will come when you're too busy to even notice it". But it wasn't meant to be today.

Same here...I was approved at exactly 4 months at Nebraska. It's been 2 weeks since approval but no change in status or anything. This is just a waiting game! I have called NVC twice but they don't have my case yet.

Does your status on the USCIS status show approved or sent to the Department of State? Ours got approved on the 3rd and we're also waiting for the status to change to sent to DoS.

I'm waiting for my status to change to "Sent to the department of state" but nothing yet They do advice here on VJ to start calling two weeks after your NOA2 because sometimes they don't update if it's been sent or not I guess. I'm calling tomorrow again.
