Hello,

Does anyone know how long after approval should I contact NVC and ask for a case #? 

My I130 got approved on 11/21/17 and I got an email on 1/5/18 from USCIS that my case was sent to the Department of State.

Oh okay Thank you

So they don't send the case the same day they approve it. It takes up to 6 weeks.

My case did.  I had called NVC into my 5th week of my I130 being approved and they advised me to call USCIS and I did and the agent told me that I can take up to 90 days for them to send the approval to NVC.  My heart fell when I heard that.  But a week later it was sent.  I tried calling NVC this morning to see how long it takes for them to receive it but it's busy.

No, I haven't, is that a good option? Because I think that if I call them now they are going to tell me that my PD is not on the prority dates yet, since the webpage says that they were reviewing cases from 14th February on 30 of october. I don't know what to do

I filed I-130 for my spouse in Mar 2017 as an LPR. I turned USC in Nov 2017, and my application was upgraded to spouse of USC from spouse of LPR on Dec 6, 2017. The application is pending at CSC. 

 

Based on forums, the I-130 for spouse of USC is getting approved with May 2017 priority dates, but my application is not yet approved. I went to an infopass appt last week, and they told me that my application was "touched" on Dec 13, and they dont know what happened with that touch. They were unable to provide any other info, and asked me to just wait. 

 

Can anyone advise what can I do to expedite this in any way given other applications with the same category are getting approved.

Hello all, 

 

Unfortunately I received a checklist today  It is for my wife's (beneficiary) original birth certificate from India. I originally sent them "Copy of Birth Certificate" (english translation) which she had obtained from record's office in 2011 but NVC wants to see "Copy of original birth certificate" or if I don't have original birth certificate they would like secondary evidence such as school leaving certificate or affidavit, etc. 

 

My problem is that my wife has her original birth certificate (not in english) but that certificate is missing her name as she wasn't a name till few weeks later. Will I be okay sending in her original birth certificate without her name as her "Copy of birth certificate" which I already sent them has her name?? or should I send them secondary evidence along with her original birth certificate that doesn't haver her name? 

 

Will appreciate any inputs here.
