Hi there! How did you find out your service centre?

You can find your (original) service center at the bottom of your receipt notice (NOA1), but chances are it has changed by now.

To get an update on your SC, it’s best to ask Emma (afaik only the petitioner will be told about updates by an agent).

 

Good luck!

Thank you! How do you ask Emma? Like in what format?

click on Need help? Ask Emma and then type: live agent, answer the questions then ask which service centre is looking after your case

I filed the i130 for my wife and stepdaughter on March 13, 2023. They were both approved on February 22, 2024. Today I received word that my stepdaughter is now DQ'd! I expect my wife to be DQ'd as early as tomorrow.

 

We're going to try to get to Warsaw and interview there. It is looking like late July or early August.

February 2023 flier. Husband is Nigerian and interview is in one month but in South Africa.

My I-130/CR-1 visa story has ended, as of today I’m officially a lawful resident of the USA, I hope everyone that filed in March has had their approval by now, and if not - I really hope you’ll get it soon! The wait is tedious and long, but it’s so worth it once you see that stamp in your passport.

Congrats to you!!!! My husband's interview is next week and we're excited about everything. It has been a long process but definitely worth it!

We are curious how long it takes people to file at the NVC stage ( IV application and DS-260)

 

if you are using a lawyer, how long did it take them or are they still working on it?

 

if you are completing the forms yourself how long is it taking you?

Hi my husband was granted his visa. We're a February 2023 I-130 filer. Interview was yesterday and he picked up the passport today with visa. He's Nigerian but based in South Africa.

Which embassy did he use? Nigeria or South Africa? Was his case expedited?

Hi we are based in South Africa so everything was done here. We didn't expedite. From I-130 filing to getting the visa was 482 days. Interview was on Thursday and we got the visa Friday.

That was pretty fast. How long did it take to get interview date after being documentary qualified?
