Our case was transferred from Nebraska to Texas Service Center last week. We did not request the transfer, but the Notice states it is to 'speed up processing'. I was told that when an office is backed up, they transfer the cases to another office. Our NOA1 is 10-04-16

Hi RRR2016,  My parent's NOA1 is 10-13-16 so are cases are fairly similar.  I am curious to see what happens to my petitions in Nebraska. If they are that backed up then most likely my parent's petitions may also get transferred...would much rather prefer receiving NOA2 rather than a transfer notice.

Yes. They can transfer your application but requesting to transfer is not possible.

They can scan it and send it to you via e-mail. Photocopy is okey but they need to bring the originals during their interview.

So as the petitioner what originals should the applicant have, the website says civil and status proof... am I suppose to send everything that I sent with the i130 pretty much?

Guys I need help.. please!!  here are my questions: the cover sheet Lists to send transcript and income tax return but the website just says transcripts, is it ok to just send transcripts and not the tax returns? W2 form current year, can I send paystubs if so how far back should they be? proof of domicile would be utility but how far back or just current one?

3 months way back. I didn't sent the transcript but I do sent w2's 3 yrs, 1040's 3 yrs, pay stubs 3 months

See that's my struggle, I don't have my 2014 1040, I don't know why.. I have the transcript but not the original. evidence of income= paystubs, right?

how old can the translations be? I wanted to use birth certificate translations that I had from i130 forms but they are close to 1 year old, so not sure if I can use them or not, what do you guys think?

I just used the same that I had 7 yrs ago when I used for my K1 works for me. I will tell my Mom to get a new one on her interview date.

Hi everyone, I am newbie here and I wanted to join in this thread for updates for the same case.    I applied I-130 for both my parents on September 2016.  I hope I can join with you guys here eventhough this is November thread hehehe... how are you guys doing with your petition?  Any updates?

02/14/17 - NVC received the supporting documents

02/21/17 - I checked status online and my father's  AOS says it was rejected on 01/31 so i paid $325 today

02/22/17 - showed "paid" online

 

(Still patiently waiting for the next step) hehehe

 

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND GOODLUCK TO ALL OF US!

 

Was the rejection coz of the payment that you're supposed to make? Thanks for sharing your timeline.

K_for_kat - i made payment 01/31 and then the next day it showed on the website that both are paid... so i assumed it was paid but then i checked the status then i saw that my father was rejected so i double checked in my bank fist make sure they didn't took the money, found out they only took one $325 for my mother IV.  So i go ahead paid for my father.  So it must be an error.  Thats why its good to keep checking the status online.  Have a great day.

Hi guys. Finally saw this threads. Just dropping some words I filed I -130 for my parents . My PD is SEP 19 at Nebraska service center. Still waiting for noa2. Called USCIS today. I was told they r back logged and call back if I didnt hear anything by the end of April. That makes over 7 months. Patiently waiting ?

Good luck to all who is waiting.

Hi K_for_kat  - I made payment 01/31 and then the next day it showed on the website that both are paid... so i assumed it was paid but then i checked the status then i saw that my father was rejected so i double checked in my bank first to make sure they didn't took the money, found out they only took one $325 for my mother IV.  So i go ahead paid for my father.  So it must be an error.  Thats why its good to keep checking the status online.  Have a great day.
