January 2018 Filers

[calliope8 72]

Odd that things are updating on the new website for some. I applied to expedite due to my father's grave cancer diagnosis even tho i knew it would only shave a few weeks off IF approved (a few weeks is vital at this point.) The info saying that the request to expedite  was received/completed (not approved, just completed 😑) is on the old website & case app tracker, but the new website has no mention of it.

Hey guys! How you doing?... Well, I just saw this page http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?form=1&visa=1&scenter=1&option=3&sortby=2 where it shows several timelines and you can see how many cases has been aproved. But I have seen many cases of people who have commented that they already got their NOA2 but that they didn't update their timeline. Please!! when you get the NOA 2 update your timeline

You know my Fiancé and I were just discussing this the other day. USCIS has tons of ways to notify you of updates regarding your case but they only seem to be doing it in just one way.  My Fiance applied for a military expedite 5 mos ago and the only notification we received they denied our request was thru email. No update thru text or any of the USCIS site. My friend who was approved last May did not get any notification from email, text, or site but got a snail mail instead. So we thought that maybe their case workers are only "required" to notify you in just one of the many ways that they can? Anyway t's just a theory that we have. If they updated the old site for your expedite i believe that's where you will get the decision as well. Our decision after they received our required documents for request to expedite came after 14 days. Hope you get a favorable decision soon.

Hello, Anyone have any idea on How long it will take for NVC to approve after USCIS approves intital from i129f. Are NVC asking any additional document to verify? What will be the next steps ..I am Just curious and worried.

It's taking about 2-3 weeks for NVC to receive the file from USCIS. Then another 2 weeks before they issue a case number. Then another 2-3 weeks (if you are one of the lucky ones) before your file is received by your Embassy. Can't tell you anything more because:

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

 

Once you complete your profile I'll try and answer the "what's next" steps for you because each Embassy is different.

I think at this time USCIS is not updating the old website with any regularity. If it were me, I wouldn't waste my time with the old but rely on the other avenues that they use, snail mail, email or text. Be sure you check your spam folder as it is not uncommon to find correspondence from USCIS or NVC in that folder. Just my experience talking.

@Greenbaum Please is there a process to track case movement from USCIS to NVC? How do I know my case has been sent to NVC?
