from NVC you'll receive snail mail like after a while, your initial welcome letter, 

 

but don't wait for that,  call NVC after 10 days from case sent to DoS update,  by this time they should have your case at NVC , on normal circumstances,  

 

once they say we received your case on the X Date  , wait  another 10 days or so and call NVC again to get your case number and Inv ID over the phone and provide them with your E-mail and Beneficiary's E-mail , 

 

once you provide E-mails they'll send all updates through E-mail , which is lot faster 

Thanks for the advice!

 

Unfortunately, I live overseas which makes calling difficult.  Online status changed to sent to DOS on January 24, 2018, so I guess I should be calling on Feb 10th or so to make sure that they have received the case, and expect a case number another two weeks later?

 I think try calling them on 1st or 2nd , they should have received your Petition by then I think , 

and once you get the date of when They received Petition ,  Start calling them after 10 or so Business Days.

Hello Everyone,

 

I created this account just now to give an update on my filing process. I stumbled on VJ last year October and I have been an every day silent reader since that time. I sent our filing docs to the Chicago Lockbox and I will give a run down of our timeline below;

 

 * Filing documents were sent from Chicago Lockbox to the Nebraska Service Center

 

* Priority Date for I-130(NOA 1) - July 13, 2017

*Approval Date for I-130 (NOA 2) - January 19, 2018 (Hard copy letter received in the mail January 26, 2018, 8 duplicated text messages stating case status updated, an email stating that documents have been sent to the NVC for visa processing and a USCIS app update stating the same)

*190 days from NOA1 to approval

 

*Priority Date for 1-129 (K3) (NOA 1)- August 11, 2017

*Case Closed for I-129(NOA 2) - January 18, 2018 (No hard copy letter received, just 8 duplicated text messages saying case status changed, an email stating case closed and benefit or status received through other means and a USCIS app update stating the same)

 

NB: I will like to add that after I got the texts/USCIS app update/email stating that the I-129 (K3) was closed, I called the customer service line last Friday, spoke with a Tier 1 who couldn't give me any insight. He advised me to call on a Monday between the hours of 8am - 11am and ask to speak with a Tier 2.

 

 I did just that and the Tier 2 said he can only tell me that the I-129 was closed but a letter has been sent to be printed out regarding the I-130 which would either be an approval or denial. True to his word, we waited a couple of days like he asked and got the NOA 2 approval for the I- 13O in the mail today. I also signed up for the USPS Informed Delivery and saw a snapshot of the front of the approval letter before the mail man arrived. Kindly sign up if you have not (if the service is available in your area)

 

The wait at Nebraska can only be imagined but I had a good mix of uplifting emotions today upon seeing the approval. Please hang in there if you are still waiting at Nebraska being that they are quite backlogged. The good news is that they are looking at July cases because mine is one of them.

 

PS: I wrote this long epistle in case anyone else is about to give up like I was.

That's great news! Our PD is July 11th. This is the first July date I have seen processed at Nebraska. Just to confirm you didn't expedite at all?

congrats, I got my approval letter but still no update online that was over a week ago, so mine has still not been sent to DOS yet  I was happy but now its just getting depressing again.

I haven't received a letter on my home address in America. They have just updated my case online. I am not sure what documents we need or what should we do

nothing you can do as of right now but wait for about 2-3 weeks before calling NVC to get your case number...start gathering documents would be what I would do.
