Hello folks,

 

I am a PR and applied for my spouse's I130 in October 2016. I got approval a few days ago. But in the I797 descriptions, it is mentioned that the applicant may not be eligible to adjust the status in the US and because of that, the application is sent to NVC. I do not know why this is the case, because my wife entered the US on F1 student visa and she has been on a valid student visa since then. Also, our priority date got recently current (based on USCIS visa bulletin for Filing Date table). I cannot find any explanation for this, I would greatly appreciate if you could share your similar experiences.

I have the same case, and i don't know what should i do?, please if you knew anythig let me know.

Also if anyone could help to answer our question, please share?

What was the status your spouse in the US when you applied for I130? Is she/he still in the US? When is your priority date?

I am going to local office in 10 days to find out the reason.

she is a green card holder, and she is in US, priority date is 29 September 2016

What I found from people that this NO2 revived to all people and we can apply to USCIS normally. but need to confirm this information

Did you try calling USCIS and ask them?

No, I meant the status of the beneficiary which is you in this case. Where you in the US when she applied? what is your current status, I mean on what type of visa you are?

I believe you are right. But when the petition receives at the NVC, they would contact you, then we should ask them to send it back to USCIS because we would like to AOS in the US.

However, I want to make sure that is why I am going to visit a local office. Yes, I contacted USCIS and talked to a L2 officer, I explained him the situation completely but sounded like he did not have much information and he was not aware of the second table of USCIS for filing dates!

Yes I was in US when I applied. 

I called NVC yesterday and told them about this, the one who answered me says that when you apply for adjustment of status to USCIS they will return my file back from NVC .. hope this is right

Did they already have your application? because I called NVC and they told me I have to wait until they get my petition then they can answer my questions, and see if I am eligible to send the petition back to USCIS.

I just to NVC officer, and he told me we cannot determine your eligibility for AOS in the US and you need to contact USCIS and ask them about it. He said when they receive my petition they give me a case number and when it s the time, they contact me to proceed with my petition, that is when I need to send an email with required documents explaining why I am eligible for AOS in the US and because of that I would like my petition to be sent back to USCIS.

Given that, I believe you are right, if you think you are eligible for the AOS in the US, you can file the application to USCIS and NVC will send the petition back to USCIS later.
