Hello, I have checked my application and now it shows this:

 

On March 6, 2017, we sent your case, Receipt Number XXXXX, to the Department of State for visa processing. Please visit our website for general information on Consular Processing.

 

This means it has been approved and it is on its way to the NVC, right? How long do we have to wait until the NVC sends us the case number?

Yes!  It means that your petition has been approved!  Congratulations!  You are on your way to the next phase.

I don't understand why we haven't received an approval notice if they are processing 9/4 ... I keep checking my case status online hoping to see an approval notice!

Hey guys! I'm happy to report we were approved!!! 

 

I still haven't talked to my husband because of the time difference & the fact that he's been traveling all day -- we've just texted. But it went well and they only asked him a few questions.

 

In total it took us 168 days from the NOA1 to get to this point (thanks to my VJ timeline for calculating!)

Thank you to everyone here who has been supportive and helpful when there have been questions, concerns, etc. 

 

PS: I'm not dropping out of the forums... I will still be around... stay strong guys!

I'm so happy for you both CONGRATULATIONS

The case approved depends on the assigned officer. Some are slower than others.   I'm waiting for September 26th

168 days here, and fairly frustrated because a friend of mine who submitted in mid-October got approved on 1 March. Same country for spouse, same processing center.. quite discouraged.

 

But, very happy for everyone who is moving forward. Looking forward to living vicariously through you all.

wow they just updated the processing time from Jan 31st and they are only processing August 9 at Nebraska ..wow they are so behind, all the other service centers are way ahead of them.

August 9, 2016

Wow they didn't do much work at all.... I saw someone post some where saying they wish they didn't moved from Nebraska. Just because they saw some people case get approved they want to go back there.

 

now I wonder how they feel after seen Nebraska updated.

I am hoping they are ahead of this time frame because it says as of January 31st and I saw some mid August people were approved last week! ? Am I reading that right as of January they were working on August applications right? Ugh so tired of this!

I really hope the same. May be AS OF NOW they are working on September. Waiting to see the next update (as of february 28) to make things bit more clear.

175 days and counting, apparently at Nebraska service center that is not even the media of approvals the waiting is insane, and they get their money the very first day the application gets in and here we are just watching people from other services center getting approved before reaching 150 days , the worst nightmare i have been trough.

CONGRATULATION to all the lucky ones that have been approved

Maitte28, 

Mine was sent to CSC, i called the 1 800 375 5283 and asked customer service representative to upgrade the I-130. She raised ticket and i was told that within two weeks USCIS will contact me via e-mail or in letter. So i got the response for my wife's case via e-mail but my daughter's is yet to receive. 

As of today's update CSC is processing oct 15th cases for immediate relative of USC. Mine was sent in Sept so i am assuming as soon as the upgrade is complete they will approve I-130 for both of my cases.

spoke with a customer service representative today was told that any applications that were transferred from the nebraska service center to potomac. have to go by the nebraska processing time. And that it could take another 2 months for approvals.

That don't sound right but I will find out from a group.

Thats what I said to the rep. and he said that for any transfers they are going based on their original service center processing time.And I called 2 times after that and was told the same thing.  its so discouraging to hear especially when you see later pds being approved.
