Yes and no the i130 pertains to you both it's 12 pages long and the i130A is all about your Husband that's why there is no need for the g325a anymore since both i130 and i130A cover it now. You still need to put 2 passport photos with both the i130 (your pp photos) and i130A (his pp photos) i attatched to the front and wrote photo of... on the back  and put it in a Ziploc bag secured by a paperclip.

Estadia, 

Did you do a Table of Contents? I have been told to make it easier on the viewing agents and to do it in chronological order.

I did not do a table of contents but with the cover letter I listed all the items in order, and separated my documents into labled folders with tabs (i tabbed everything) in that same order i listed them in the cover letter. I did over do it on the paperwork I sent but I figured I'm saving myself in the end from getting an RFE (request for evidence) I'm sure others did there's differently bur thats how i did mine.

estadia, 

Should I be filing a G-1145 as well? I appreciate you so much for helping me with this.

It's optional but I would fill out one for you it's better than just waiting for the paper copy to get notified that they received your application. I got notified quicker with the g1145 and u get your receipt number as well with the e-notification, you still will receive the hard copy and definitely want keep that since it's your NOA1.

Welcome I'm not happy about Nebraska either but I'm trying to be hopeful.

I do not know how to reply to what you said but, thanks. 

 

I went and got a second job so that I was not obsessed over the time it was going to take. We waited to file our papers till after the DV lottery came out we were hoping that he would have won there.

 

but now all we can do is sit and wait. just about everyone goes through NSC that is why they are so far behind, maybe we will be lucky enough to get transferred to Texas.

I keep hope that maybe will be transferred to Texas. I also hope that come August/September there will be a end of the fiscal year push to get the backlog down. It is just hopeful thought.

[Khallaf 650]

well we all might be in for a long wait, but we do all have hope that things will work out sooner rather than later.

Hi everyone.

Our i-130 package was sent out on 22 may.

Received on 23 may. NOA1 was received via email on 30 may and we were sent to Texas service center. Now its the wait....

[Khallaf 650]

My husband is still very optimistic lol I'm more realistic but I still have hope that maybe just maybe it wont be that long, but then the realistic side of me come out and is like yeah it probably will be. Also I'm surprised we got nebraska since people who have done this for algeria got a different service center in particular Pontomac or California  but it could be because I'm from oregon... who know why really.

Hope goes along way arif87 and you never want to loose hope no matter how bleak everything might be.
