Whoop whoop yeah!!!! :dancing: :joy: :dancing: Our IR-1 & IR-2 petitions got approved June 15th, Texas Service Center just 63 days of stressing and dying from waiting. I nearly pass out this morning when I found a message from my husband that we got our NOA2s, I thought I was dreaming since I woke up 5am to prepare for our daughter's breakfast before she head to school.

I got a smile from ear to ear :dance: :dance:

Heading for NVC :bonk: and needs to get prepared. How is everyone holding up? We are looking forward to hear more of APPROVALS.

Good luck everyone

Woohoo! Just received email/text notification of approval.

Filed I-130 for my mom on April 1st. NOA was April 4th. Texas service center.

I knew it would be approved this week as I had been checking status for case numbers before mine (mine ended on 497 and I saw approvals for case number ending on 487 and those before it).

Hopefully next steps go through as quickly!

How do you check this??? (the numbers that is)

Hi The Burts:

I have a quick question. I too am filing for my spouse and child. When the passport page has to be submitted in the next stage at NVC.. Do you also have to submit the child's too?

Posted

Yes, I know this link, but you referenced that you knew they were working on case 4XX and you were in that numeral area.

I'm wondering how you are able to see those numbers? Am I missing a link on this page? :idea:

Hi April filers! I'm a May/Juner filer :). For those of you that you were sent to Texas Service Center and are already approved, was your case DCF? I'm trying to figure out roughly where Texas is at with their processing. It seems like they're on April! I hope you all get approved soon!

Hi April filers! I'm a May/Juner filer :). For those of you that you were sent to Texas Service Center and are already approved, was your case DCF? I'm trying to figure out roughly where Texas is at with their processing. It seems like they're on April! I hope you all get approved soon!

Hello Mrs. Wild

Our case is not DCF at all. I think this was just by the grace of God who never stopped loving His children and the only one who could see that we belong together.

I think if you check other members TimeLines, you probably might will see which ones are DCF and which ones are not. I have seen few which are not DCF and yet got approved already. Texas Service Center is the best.

We are just looking forward to get our welcome letter from NVC.

Hi The Burts:

I have a quick question. I too am filing for my spouse and child. When the passport page has to be submitted in the next stage at NVC.. Do you also have to submit the child's too?

Hello Mamabrown3,

I think you have to submit both passports (biographic pages), but I would suggest that you scan/copy passport the first page and the last one of biographic on one page just in case. We are also still studying more about the next level of NVC in order to make sure we got most of all that is going to be needed. If we get stuck, we will start posting questions here too.

Im thinking of starting a new thread of assembling NVC documents before time comes, so that this way we can all help each other. Wishing you all the best and good luck.

Hello Mamabrown3,

I think you have to submit both passports (biographic pages), but I would suggest that you scan/copy passport the first page and the last one of biographic on one page just in case. We are also still studying more about the next level of NVC in order to make sure we got most of all that is going to be needed. If we get stuck, we will start posting questions here too.

Im thinking of starting a new thread of assembling NVC documents before time comes, so that this way we can all help each other. Wishing you all the best and good luck.

Hi Monika,

I think that is a wonderful idea... I'm still sitting here waiting on my NOA2 and I was accepted on the 13th of April. God give me the strength to keep moving forward.

Your timeline gives me hope.
