Took me a while to find this forum on this new changed website.   On my screen, our list on this new site is spread into two lines instead of each person on a separate line.   Are others seeing it the same way where it's spread into two lines?

I have the same thing. I guess it need to be optimized for the new layout. Previously, the forums was taking the width of the screen. I see it limited by specific width now. I'm using 1080P display.

Will wait a few days to see if the administrators change the website resolution back.  I reported it to the admins.

That's pretty quick that they have changed the resolution of the website.  Now I see each user on one line.  Has it resolved for you now?

Hey Everyone! I tried asking this in another group but had no response.. maybe someone here can help me?

 

Hey everyone! I don't know exactly how all this works, so excuse me if I confuse terms and dates and such.

So I lived in Northern Ireland and was married there on October 10th. I then filed for my husband the I-130 and sent it to the London Embassy (DCF). I received an email from "USCIS Field Office London" (email dated Oct. 18) stating that "The Petition(s) for Alien Relative (I-130) that you recently submitted to this office has been properly filed (payment taken) on October 14, 2016."

The NOA1 does not state anything about the application being sent to another office. 

I then emailed them on Dec. 15 for any information on the process.

They responded on Dec. 16:

Good afternoon,

Your Form I-130 was approved today. The approval notice will be mailed out on Monday.
Please note that our office does not issue receipt numbers for Form I-130.
USCIS London
 
 
Since then we haven't heard anything or received anything in the mail or email/spam folders. I feel like we should have received something in the mail by now but not even the post office has anything for us. We have both tried calling and emailing them with no luck, we both kind of feel a bit lost with all this.
 
To have some hope, we have been manually guessing case numbers waiting and hoping that one would unlock eventually for us.
 
Can anyone explain any of this to me? What should we be expecting? What is our next steps? Is there a more direct email/phone number we can try calling? Has any other October filers received their NOA2? 
 
Thanks!

Since the case was approved last week and due to holidays break and overloaded postal mails, it's probably taking a bit longer to receive the letter in the mail.  Since you have the approval email, there is nothing to be worried.

Since you directly filed in London, your case will be expedited and you don't need to do anything at NVC.  Your interview date will be scheduled soon (perhaps after the medical).  

You may have already read the London embassy page regarding DCF. If not, below is the link:

Is there anyone in this forum that filed a I130 for a parent who lives overseas? I noticed that a vast majority of the filers in this forum are for spouses. Does anyone know if the time frame is different between a IR5 and CR1? Thanks.
