Hi my stepdaughter just got approved for her i-130 petition yesterday how fast is NVC moving these days and what to expect thanks for sharing your thoughts

NVC seems to have slowed down in giving case numbers; it may take up to 6wks to get one. My suggestion is while waiting for your number, you should begin gathering the necessary documents and filling out the i-864 so that by the time you get your number you can send your AOS & IV packages immediately.

I've never flown out of Philadelphia to go to the Philippines... I've always left from JFK. But yes, the flight is incredibly long, which is why I always book a late night flight so at least I can sleep for the first 6-7hrs of the flight ?

It's tough for some people to sleep on the plane; that's why I always hope the movies are good, otherwise the flight feels like it's a lot longer than it already is.

Let me know if you need any help on your journey just relax while waiting for your case complete

Thanks :) I'm finding it more and more difficult to have patience; probably because I miss my husband (I haven't seen him since May last year). But I'm sure once we have an actual interview date set I won't be as impatient. The whole not-knowing-when thing is really what bothers me the most.
