I-130 February 2017 filers

[Dianalorena 1,153]

255 days here. I can't believe it is taking almost a year, or even a year! to get an approval.

if we knew it was going to be this ridiculously inefficient we would've planned things differently, maybe my husband would have taken a temporary leave from work or something. 

 

what I'm curious about is if there are people left waiting from other centers?  Potomac is done approving April, (or almost) while we're still waiting for Nebraska to be done with January. This sucks.

Approval date of 9/11 and nothing yet from the NVC.

Is the next step just waiting for paperwork from them?

Should I start prepping something while waiting?

I got my case number and welcome email from NVC yesterday.. yes! you should start preparing for documents etc.. that will help you in submitting all of them as soon as you receive the letter.

So what is this next step anyway?

Yeah Nebraska is the absolute worst. It’s so depressing see everyone else moving on and my case is just sitting doing nothing. 

 

Unacceptable.

You don’t think it’s going to cause any problems we thinking about doing it?

I did the change of name before my husband filed for me. No it wouldn't be a problem, it will also be a proof to show that u are truly married to ur spouse. Thats to my own knowledge. Don't know what others think.

Good stuff! Did you call them to add your email in or did you just waited the whole time?

So doing it after filing is not good?

I changed my name after I filed my petition. I’m currently waiting for a case complete at NVC. It’s been 7 1/2 weeks since I submitted everything.

I can't really say that. Unless we have someone who changed after filing. The person is in the best position to say
