I-130 May 2018 Filers

[sunrisecouples 74]

Goodmorning May filers, 

I just want to encourage everyone including myself, that's waiting for their Notice of Approval from the NSC. I want to urge us not be discouraged or be despaired. I also want us to know that with each day that passes by, we are getting closer to the day when we will all receive our NOA2 and ultimately be with our husbands/wives. Seems like we have 3 more people who are still waiting to hear from the NSC. So that makes us 8 now. So Hardiv, May16 and Emgee, kindly communicate with us here as soon as you receive your NOA2. Have a great day everyone.

Hoping you all hear something soon, which will be a good sign for the rest of us. Keep us posted

All the best everyone.

Hello guys, how is everyone doing? I hope we are all doing great. I just wanted to know if any progress has been made so far or if any of us, May 2018 filers, have heard any word from the NSC regarding our NOA2. It will also be nice if anyone can advise on what we need to do, to find out about the progress of our i-130 petitions or if we just have to keep waiting. Suggestions are welcomed.

Since the USCIS website says that Nebraska Service Center is working on "June 2, 2018" petitions, I decided to submit an inquiry. I completed the form on the website and once I submitted it I got a message (as well as an email) that said:

"Thank you for your request

USCIS will review and process the request.

Expect a reply by April 4, 2019."

 

I was then given a request ID number. I suppose that means it won't be until the 4th that I'll hear something on the inquiry. So basically 3 weeks I'll need to wait for a response on an inquiry. 😒

Good move from you. That's a step in the right direction. Let's hope that we hear something positive from them for you and us all, on or before the 4th of April 2019.

PD may 11, NSC, approved on new site **ONLY** march 13, old website still at case is received.

 

March 15, old website **ONLY** case is transferred to department of state, new website still says aprroved.

 

March 16, noa2 hard copy in the mail, approval date was March 12.

 

Bottomline, check both old and new website and your mail, I've read that some people didnt get updates online just a nice surprise in the mail box. 

 

If you don't have USPS INFORMED DELIVERY, sign up for it, it's free, it sends me pictures of mails I'll be getting that day.

Congratulations blue_angel_29 on your NOA2.

Thank you for keeping us informed. With the news of your progress, we can stay positive and be on the look out for our NOA2s. So what's the next step? 

[sunrisecouples 74]

We urge other May filers who are yet to hear from the NSC,  to update or communicate with the rest of us here, as soon as you receive your NOA2. One of us (blue_angel_29) has received the NOA2. So that's 1 down, 7 or 8 more of us to go.

Fingers crossed!

I'd like to know what the next step of our I-130 petition is, after the national Visa Center confirms that they have received our case file from NSC. What are we required to do from there? Anyone with answers?

After NVC receives your case, I hear it takes approximately 8 weeks for NVC to assign you a Case Number and Invoice ID Number. Once you have these numbers you can start paying fees and submitting several documents  on the  Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC). 

Documents to be submitted are the Visa Application (DS-260), affidavit of support, other financial, civil documents and other supporting documents. You can find a step to step process and all the documentation needed at this stage on the travel.state.gov website.

Hope this helps
