I-130 March 2018 filers [merged threads]

[nastra30 2,239]

My file has finally been transferred to NVC after 26 days of approval. SMH to USCIS. Any progress is progress; looking forward to the new year for positive outcomes.

A little bummed - received NOA2 on Nov. 16, and found out my case was only just transferred to NVC from Nebraska on Dec. 19. So I guess the 5, 6, 7, 8 week wait time has yet to start instead of being half over like I thought. 

Oh well, better me than some of you. I am with my spouse in Canada so at least we aren’t separated like some of you.

PD - March 07, 2018

Nebraska approval - 11/15/2018

Sent to NVC - 11/26

NVC received - 12/04

Called NVC this morning. No case # yet. They told me I should have it before January 29th.

Hi Lilliahbeah! 

Im a newb and was searching all threads to see what the CR-1 timeline looks like for Canadians and if being Canadian makes any difference at all. 

 

If you still havent been approved to arrive, how many months are you going on? Have you had your interview yet? We, too, are together in Canada and won’t be filing the I-130 until mid Jan. 

 

Thank you!!

Hi Kacey,

 

Here’s what my timeline looks like:

NOA1: March 21, 2018

NOA2: November 16, 2018

Transferred to NVC: December 19, 2018

 

I expected it to take 11 months, now it’s looking closer to 12 or 13 from sending your initial paperwork to completing your interview. I would say not much difference for Canadians, except that you aren’t disadvantaged by being from a country that requires more evidence, more proof that you’re not a terrorist, etc. Also other countries have long embassy wait times for their interviews and I believe Canada is pretty quick. Best of luck to you!

I just got my case number, yay! When did you pay your fees? Would you be so kind as to update us when it is processed?

 

For anybody else interested, after the NVC received our case, it took just under 6 weeks for us to be assigned a case number (and we got it yesterday).

Sorry for the delay. 

We paid on Friday and it was ready for us to submit applications on Monday. 

 

How far far are you now ?

Hey guys. Hope all is well and everything is running smoothly for everyone. Just wanted to give a heads up on my case for others to know what to expect. My case was electronic so I had to upload my documents to the CEAC website. It looks like everything is complete now and they are in the phase of scheduling the interview. I received this email yesterday.

Congrats; you are almost there. You'll get your interview date soon. 

What civil documents were asked to upload?

[Nativityy 23]

We finally got our noa2 after such a long wait. No mail no e mail no app update... nothing! I phoned them and they gave ne the automated “lets file a case inquiry” response. But thank god the lady was very nice and transferred me to a tier 2 and voila! She said we were approved a week ago and case was sent to nvc. We’re so excited!! What’s next?
