Application was delivered to Phoenix Lockbox this past Tuesday and we received the text notification on Friday.
Unfortunately our petition is headed to Nebraska, which currently shows abysmal processing times. Hoping for the best, but was definitely disappointed to see where it ended up.

Good luck to everyone!!

Got the email today as well and ours is headed to Nebraska too. I read a lot that Texas processing times is so much better. But let's all pray for the best

Hey there! dont get disappointed as time line is different from case to case!!

I read threads of filers in 2016 to keep an idea in mind what status it is for others in my centre.

And we will all do this together!

Cheers!

Hey Jagrut yes we even got married on the same day what a coincident!!!

 

So FYI what i have submitted was:

-  the flight itineraries and photos when we travel together before we have married

- husband's mom and good friend (both US citizen) written affidavit letters explaining their knowledge of our marriage with a notary chop (please try to search online for a notarized affidavit letter sample)

- some photos when we got married or when we hang out with friends and families

 

Some other cases i read people submit:

- letters / emails when they communicate

- call logs / phone bills showing their contact

 

I think it is not a bad thing to call and ask questions because i read that some people actually find out they have missing info when they call, before they received the RFE so they can react quickly.

 

But i am sure there should be people you can ask in some other group who has did this before?

 

Hi Thanks Nattie_Bry, MrChamploo and misshepburn for your valuable feedback

 

I will surely contact them but dont know the number to call and what is the address for TSC to send documents..

 

I have one question, did you or others has tried to file K3 as well,

 

I know K3 is non significance now a days but just in case I 130 get delayed.

 

Please guide and educate me,

THanks

What did they say in the email you received? did they say you will receive letter from mail in 7-10 days?

It does seem that most of us February gals are trapped in Nebraska, interesting. 

I am still hopeful they will step up their game, unlikely, but hope dies last right?

oh well. Her comes the waiting game.

I'm just wondering when the status of the case changes from received to initial review on the USCIS website? Just curious is all if anyone sent to Nebraska and if your status has changed or stayed the same. Thanks.

Yes it says you will receive hard copy of NOA 1  in 7-10 days,

Actaully i got that on 02/27/2016 in mail only.

 

I am thinking to send K3 application as well with all documents that I did not sent with I 130. so that they have all info there. and may avoid RFE on I 130.

 

Let me know if you see any important updates ( if Files moving fast) from Texas center.

 

Thanks,

Jagrut.

I still think calling them and send supplementary info will be easier and faster than filing a K-3...since you already have a case number they can refer to, and they can always add the info to your file.

Hey JAg ... what kind of proof of bonafide marriage do you have if you dont mind me asking which you are planning to send ? was it a typical arranged indian marriage ? or Love marriage ?

 

just FYI my cousin got approved with only marriage certificate and affidavit of support ... she is in USA now arrived few months ago

 

i know people prefer to front load their application on this website ... its better but not necessary

although it might not seem necessary, it is a good idea. It doesn't hurt and it can actually improve your chances of avoiding a RFE or extra scrutiny during the interview process. It's funny because my first CR1 was accepted just with a marriage certificate and affidavit, but now we submitted evidence. With how things are going we didn't want to risk it!

Wow so it's your 2nd application? It's somewhat toxic to keep reading on and on about what should be included and then eventually we tend to include more for the "just in case"!

yes it is my second application  

It's up to the person. I don't see how the word ''toxic'' would apply to it, that's a little bit extreme. Some people want to be on the ''safe side'' and front load much as they have, others just comply with what's necessary, there is no right or wrong way in my opinion. Whatever gives you peace of mind and helps you through the process.

So agreed there's no right or wrong and hopefully everyone gets the answer they're seeking for! My toxic as in wanting to read more and more what other people do and digging into the issue like unstoppable!

 

i have always wonder, if there will be anything other than RFE after NOA1, if not straight to the NOA2?

Hey there! Good to hear you got the NOA1! May I ask if it's actual mail or email?(did you do the e-notice form thing?)

 

i was was looking at the processing time page looks like Texas been the fastest in the past few months! I'm kinda hoping our case will get to Texas too！

Snail Mail. Still waiting for NOA2.

 

have you sent yours?
