For anyone that has been approved. After you were approved how long did it takes for you to receive your hard copy of the NOA2 in the mail?

They say the process in the order received, yet so many at the Nebraska Center that there case are even in February have been approved.   I not notice they are reviewed my case but no updates at the time.   It is so sad that it looks as if my husband will not even be here for our first anniversary.   I found out it is true that your country your spouse is coming from has an impact and can make things longer to process.     Nebraska 1/12/18----------------------still waiting.

I received an email on friday august 10, 2018 with my case number and ID number.  I did not receive my hard copy in the mail until August 25th, 2018.

My case shows online approved on the 6th which was a Monday and we received the hard copy already on Thursday. However the hard copy showed a notice date of 08/03 so I’m not sure when the actual approval happened.

Your approval was on August 3rd.

I got my approval on June 28th, and didn't get the hard copy till July 3rd. I never got an email saying that it was approved only when I looked at the website.  In fact I am still getting "We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time. We will notify you when your case status changes. We last took action on your case on July 18, 2018. " as of this morning..... More about my process in the signature.

Hello everyone, 

I am also a January 2018 I-130 spouse visa filer. I submitted my paperwork and received the confirmation receipt on January 4, 2018. My application was then sent to the potomac service center. 

 

I have not received any feedback from potomac since the hard copy of the receipt notice. When I check my case status online, it has not been updated and still displays "If we accept your case, you will receive a receipt notice.  If we reject your case, we will send you an explanation with instructions."

 

I checked online about the Potomac service times and it claims it takes 9.5 to 12 months to process a case. Online it says I have to wait until December to contact them about being behind schedule. Does anyone have any information about their potomac processing times for January application submission?

Hi guys, the uscis website showed that I was approved on August 27, 2018, that’s the date I got an email from them to check the website and saw the approval. However, I received my hard copy NOA2 today on August 29, 2018 three days later but the date on the hard copy I received said my I-130 was approved on August 24, 2018 that’s three days before than what’s on the new website. My question is, which date of approval should I go with when calling NVC in a few days? Should I tell them the website approval date or the hard copy approval date?

 

Thanks in advance!

Go with the receipt date on the hard paper copy you received in the mail because that's your official receipt.

Hard copy is when it was approved, August 24th Friday, and August the 27th Monday, is basically when your NOA2 is printed out / ready to be mailed etc.

1) I will recommend your read here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-4-collect-financial-documents.html

 

My guess is you fall under this option in the attached file. But you need to read up and absolutely confirm what forms to submit.

 

2) You can fill the forms ahead of time but you'll have to wait for NVC to ask you to send them along. NVC will show you how or where to submit the forms depending on your circumstance.
