Happy Monday all!

 

We received our NOA2 in the mail on 9/28.  Approval date was 9/24/19.  Even though I requested e-notifications, I haven't received an email or text message.  The my.uscis site updated to Approved this morning. Yay!

 

 

- Texas Service Center

- No IOE number, K3, or expedite - just a standard I-130 filing

- The Case Tracker and Visa Tracker apps haven't updated and were basically useless

 

I wanted to get a jump start on completing the I-864, but it looks like I'll have to wait until the new form is released on 10/15.

Our ROC story so far...
1/3/2022: I-751 sent via USPS Priority Mail; delivered to Phoenix Lockbox 1/5
1/6/2022: CC processed for filing and biometric fees
1/7/2022: Received receipt # via text
1/15/2022:  Received NOA and 24-month extension letter
1/22/2022:  Received biometrics appointment letter
2/8/2022:  Biometrics appointment
10/2/2023:  SURPRISE!  We received the I-751 approval letter and 10-year green card without an interview.

Just a small piece of advice: Your life doesn't start at I-130 approval or NVC completion. You already are living a good life, make the most out of it while waiting for processing. I know this is

When i called they are 4 weeks behind and same information in the travel.state.gov website. If they received your case on September 18 looks like you have another 4 weeks of waiting. Mine was received September 10th which will be 3 more weeks for me 🤦🏻‍♂️.

My case was created today with NVC!! Have you gotten a case creation email yet?

I have been trying to expedite my case and I have been struggling since March with misinformation.  Needless to say, when I finally made it to NVC the Embassy will not expedite my case, so I am assuming the NVC decided to get my case started since the Embassy denied processing.  You got this!! Yours is going to be right behind mine!!:yes:

To my surprise this morning I received my email in regards to the case creation. Paid my fees and now I'm awaiting for the payments to clear and get on with the next steps.

It all depends on your bank how fast they process ACH transfers. 

Mine took 2 business days since I paid after hours on Friday. It was good to go on Tuesday mid-day

You will get yours very soon.  I think mine was only processed as quick because I have a hard date that my husband needs to be here by and they are working with me since the Embassy does not have the ability to process it direct.
