I-130 Timeline

[meganf0412 0]

Hey Meganf....any updates? Impatiently waiting over here!

Hey futurekings, no news yet! However the website says they are processing July 5th as off August 22nd so we're getting there. I think you should have news in the next week or two hopefully.

Let me know when you hear and fingers crossed for good news

My petition was acknowledged on 5th July which was the date being processed last week. Still no NOA but reading through other London timelines maybe I will just receive the packet... hopefully this week.

The stamped addressed envelope I sent was used to confirm they had actioned my petition to abandon my previous greencard (expired 2008) so perhaps this is why I haven't had an NOA.

I will give it until Friday then email!

Good luck everyone, I see they've moved the date again this week!

So after posting that this morning, I got home to find my NOA (dated 27th August) waiting for me! It says I'll receive the packet within 8 weeks. Hopefully it's sooner!

That's great news! Congrats! Hopefully we won't be far behind you...it's so unnerving hearing nothing! I fly to the US next week to start setting up our new life and we were hoping we'd have the NOA2 by then....

Fingers crossed futurekings and have a safe journey!

I'll keep everyone updated and let you know when the 'packet' arrives.

Congrats Englishsammy! Good to hear they're getting through applications. Our NOA1 date was July 18th so slowing inching towards it. I move back to the US to get settled for the next stage in mid September so fingers crossed we hear by then.

And good luck Futurekings on your move as well. It's an exciting / stressful undertaking ha

Congratulations! That's great news!

Also makes me excited as our NOA1 date was only 6 days behind yours. I fly next Thursday so hopefully it will happen right before I go. *fingers crossed*

Keep me updated as you know more and good luck

I received my 2nd letter yesterday! I have my case number now! I've just completed the DS260 which took a while so I'm going to book my medical/interview tomorrow

[Englishsammy 17]

So I took a look at the appointment times... as early as 8th October if anyone was wondering. I'm looking towards the end of October so we can go in half term and I can get everything ready.

Congrats and thanks for keeping us in the loop, it's really nice to have a look into what's coming.

Flying across the pond today to get settled, so everyone cross their fingers we receive our NOA2 soon!

Good luck with the journey! My interview is the 31st October... half term so we can make a trip of it! It gives our sponsor time to get evertrying to us

Ah so much has happened in the past few days!! Packet 3 arrived on Saturday morning, way sooner than we thought it would! My love spent sat and Sunday doing the DS 260 which took forever and was complicated due to all our time traveling abroad but not really having residency. He submitted it on last night and this morning booked his medical and interview!! Medical is 29th of September and interview is 8th of October!! Cutting it a little close but it should be fine. Really really hoping he can fly to be with me here in the US on the 17th of October!!!

Amazing news! You'll have to give a medical and embassy appointment low down please! Wish you the best of luck

Oh my goodness, that's so quick! Fingers crossed all goes smoothly and we hear soon with packet 3 as well!

Would love to hear updates once you've had the medical and interview as well. In regards to scheduling everything, was there a big range of the dates you could pick from for the interview?
