Visa approved!!! Frustrating, stressful and at times angering! At each step of the process I communicated with TSC, NVC and even the US Embassy in Manila.  My wife is sleeping peacefully ton

Case approved.

 

PD: 06/01/17

NOA2: 01/02/18 (215 days)

Center: Texas

No case status update online. Found out about it via letter in mail.

US Citizen

 

 

Approval notice states:

 

 

"The above petition has been approved.  As the petitioner requests, we have sent the petition to the US Dep.... NVC, 32 Rochester Ave, Portsmouth, NH.... The NVCprocesses approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action.  It also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete the visa processing.  The NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

 

The NVC will contact the beneficiary of this petition with further information about immigrant visa processing steps.

 

You should allow a minimum of 30 days for the US Department of State processing before contacting the NVC...."

 

 

 

 

Question: Does this mean the petition is now sent to NVC? Or is this standard reply? I am afraid Texas takes a long time to send petition to NVC. Does anyone know ways to expedite this process?

 

TSC IS taking about 1 month to send your case to NVC. Unfortunately I don't think you can expedite this process.

NOA1 06/15/2017

NOA2 01/04/2018

Got the letter in mail from TSC, no RFE's..Thank God! I am ecstatic but I know there's still more waiting! 

I got the same letter as rajtpd..is the next step to call NVC in a week or two to get the case number/IIN..ive been reading the guides but I am not sure if it is all updated information! When they say the NVC is going to contact the beneficiary, are they going to mail my husband something? I am askig because my husband lives in Dubai and their mail system is fully p.o.box dependent
