August & September 2018 - I-130 (Parents) Tracker

[booga-boo 53]

FINALLY!!!!

 

I have informed delivery with USPS, so I saw this morning I was getting a mail from USCIS. Every avenue I check shows my case was received September 17, 2018, so no update. On my way home from work I called USCIS, I got to my mailbox before someone came online, by then I read the approval notice and the case was approved 9/16/19. I still asked the CSR about my case and what is  the update, to which she told me that my case was approved and I should be getting something in the mail on what the next steps are.

I’m a lurker... I’ve read your comments here and think we both have our cases at Nebraska SC. I just got approval a few minutes ago. It will be exactly one year on the 30th that we’ve been waiting for this approval. 

I'm just seeing this. They approved me exactly 1 day before the 1 year mark

Hi guys we are also at Nebraska and got an RFE today but our application date is Sep 24 2018 . Does that mean they are ready to work on my case even though the site is showing they are working on June. Also where do we send the RFE? How long does it normally take to hear once you respond to RFE?

Yes, they are working on your case. As to how long it will take after you submit what they are asking for, no clue. With the IR5 from Nebraska there are limited historical date so make an assumption, but I would suggest to send whatever they are asking as quickly as possible.

Hi guys, 

 

For those of you at NVC, how long did you wait before between USCIS and NVC? 

[bluewaiting 11]

I waited 10 long weeks for Nebraska to send my case to NVC, now I’m over 4 weeks at NVC and no ceac number yet, I think I’m the exception, most people don’t take that long!!

Our I130 was approves by USCIS. So how long is it takien for NVC to assign case number? Also how will they contact us (email or mail)> The last time USCIS email us, it went to spam. I am curious if the same thing will happen to NVC if they contact us via email.

I received an email about a case creation after only 1 week after USCIS sent my petition to NVC. I've never received any letter in the mail. I'm not sure that they use regular mail for notifying the petitioner and the beneficiary for their case creation.

Thank you for responding.  I am hoping I don't miss the email. I'll wait another week, then call.
