Hi everyone,

 

This is my first post on the site, but I've been reading all of the comments. I am petitioning for my wife who is in Colombia at the moment. Our case was received by the NVC on June 1st, and we are still waiting on the case and invoice numbers. I noticed there are a few others in Colombia, so let me know where you're at in the process. I'm really hoping we get our case number soon, because I will be going to Colombia to visit my wife on July 17 and was really hoping to submit our paper work before I go. Is Colombia pivot or non? From what I've been reading it's non, so I will be mailing all of the documents. Any idea on approximately how long it would take DHL to mail our docs to the US from Colombia?

 

Also, I've been working on getting everything from our joint sponsor for the I-864 form and have a question. She makes above the federal poverty guidelines now but didn't for the past three tax years that I had to include on the form. Is this going to cause a problem, or do they just rely on the salary for the current year?

 

Also, what can I expect when sending my docs to the NVC? Will they send instructions on how to put everything in order and submit it or is that kind of up to me like I did for the I-130? Any advice on the process or timing of events would be much appreciated. My wife and I are so anxious to finally be together. Thanks in advance!

Hi. I’m also in Colombia but I’m applying with my Italian passport. My NVC received date is May 15th, today marks my 7th week waiting for a case and invoice number. Colombia is non-pivot and I often use Dhl to send/receive documents and with the express service it takes only 3 business days. I’m just waiting with all my documents ready and translated to take the next step, that’s all I can tell ya from my part

Whichever is fine but I will be going for my interview with an original copy.

 

I don't want to take chances,I have waited so long

I agree... When I spoke with NVC I was told to take all originals to the interview of EVERYTHING that was submitted to NVC. Which is why I am making an exact replica of our packet for him to take. One thing they did say also was that it was recommended to put your case number on EVERY page of evidence you are submitting except the cover page.

We just received our case numbers and fill the DS 261. But we can't pay the fees. Can we start to call NVC to review it online or we have to wait for our welcome letter?

You have to call them and ask them. 

Make sure you have your uscis case's number, name of you guys petitioner and beneficiary and their DOB. 

Good luck.

8 weeks + 6 days : we got the case number over the phone

And at 9 weeks we received the welcome letter. 

When you reach 8 weeks try to call at least 2 times a day. Once your case is forward to a supervisor it seems to go quickly.

OK, thank you... I did email this info last week requesting a case number, do you think it's better to call?

I don't think so. My I130 approved was received one June 18th. I sent them an email last week but I'm waiting for their reply.

When you call you have more information. Then I'll keep call them. 

In your place I will call them ASAP. I see your petition was approved almost 12 months ego.

I have a question:

Your case is the Petitioner is a US citizen or lawful permanent resident?
