April 2017 I-130 Filers

[MrsAni 119]

Hi all I'm new to this thread!  I too filed in April 2017 and  I've been patiently waiting ever since I mailed the I130 off to the Chicago lock box on March 27th.   To give you guys hope, here's my timeline:

 

Mar 27 - mailed application to Chicago lock box 

 

Apr 3 - application received/transferred to Potomac 

 

May 3 - I received an email from USCIS that my NOA1 was returned to USCIS....undeliverable by post office 

 

June 30 - Infopass appointment at local office to find out why I haven't received my NOA1 as of yet.   Agent looked up my case and saw that the status was pending (if your status is still pending that's a good sign).  She also said that they are currently doing background checks on my spouse.   This was a sigh of relief for me!   Shouldn't be too long now before approval  since Potomac has a record of fast approvals. 

 

Good luck April filers!

I have applied for my parents green card. I have filed i130 since they both are out of the country. My mom's case is updated in the USCIS website saying that the case was received on April 12, 2017. My father's case is not updated yet. Any idea or suggestions about the possible reasons/solutions?

Thanks.

Anyone from April filers got approved from TSC?

 

 

[harsh2010 134]

hmmm,  might be too early for April filers still, only been 3 months and highly unlikely to get approved this fast,

I know there are few that get lucky and gets approved every once in a blue moon , but .. 

 

I am Nebraska  and PD is April 3rd,    and as it seems .. lol Nebraska is still working on November files ...................

Do you have separate receipt numbers for them? I filed for my spouse & my receipt number comes up as invalid when I try to check case status. I was told that not all numbers are entered into the online system...and in order for me to get updates, I have to call them.

My PD date is 4/25 & right now my timeline is guessing sometime around September or October to get NOA2 from TSC. We still have a while, but I'm getting everything ready for the NVC stage now!

For example, you will need a copy of the beneficiaries birth certificate & English translation if needed, a copy of police record from their country & any other country they lived in for more than 6 months, with English translation. You can search this site for NVC checklists & packets & see what else people are sending. It's a long list, but we started getting what I listed above & had them translated.

Aw, I don't even know if we're gonna do a visit, we don't want to miss anything! I was hoping for a family event on September 20 but looks less likely and I'm trying to be realistic and hope for Thanksgiving.

My PD date is April 3rd, but I just got my NOA1 today 😩😩😩.  Potomac must be seriously back logged.

Wow!

[MrsAni 119]

Wow is right Pink_waters.  I've been requesting a duplicate copy of the NOA1 ever since May 3rd (since the post office said it was undeliverable).  I'm still hopeful.   We will get through this!
