kalina and zolanden.... i know how you feel. i was freaking out too. it took them 31 days for my petition to be forwarded. just give CSC a call using the RFE trick... if you haven't done that. other than that.. all you can do is wait. but i am positive everything is ok with your case.... they are just LAZY.

Thanks for your words Neel!!

Hey everybody that's waiting - STAY POSITIVE. I already know that it will be 4 weeks ( if I'm lucky ) to get out of the CSC.. It wasn't until I hit the 180 day mark did I wind up calling the CSC. I got approval the next day. I wouldn't call every day , they know who calls , and unless you have a real problem like Kalina has ,you're not going to speed things up but only agitate them.

Thank You!

What should I mention when I email Mumbai Consulate?

Should I just tell them that I will be sending in packet 3 or wait for a reply first?

Email i have for them is: MUMBAIIV@state.gov. Can someone confirm that?

PDD, Yes the email is correct. However, I would call DOS first to get an update whether your case has been opened by Mumbai consulate. And then send an email to Mumbai Consulate to confirm that it is OK to send in Packet3.

hello guys i just called the NVC they received mine lat 091707 , how long does it take for them to send it in consulate manila ? congrats to u sau im happy ur journey is over ..

Question? Did u get a touch online on ur case on the 17th when it arrived NVC? I know mine has been sitting in the mailroom at CSC since 4Sept (told that by rep) and I got a touch on the 17th. Wondering if that was it leaving CSC or arriving at NVC.

yeah i had touched on the sept 17th and that day also they received in NVC , i just called today and they say it will going to be send in manila embassy today.

I was wondering the same thing. Did I see the last of the touches when it was approved last week ,or will there be another one once it actually leaves the control of the CSC and is on it's way to the NVC. It looks like the NVC only holds them for processing for a week or so, and then ships them off to the appropriate embassy.

Ive got to touched this sept 14th , i called them that day but still not there then sept 17th , i called them sept.18 they received it sept 17 and now sept 19 they going to send it to manila embassy so i guess only 1 or 2 days stay in nvc .

For the people who know....

Why does for some people the I129 get approved along with the I130 and for some people only the I130? What is the reason for that?

I don't know the answer Jas S. But according to me you have to contact CSC and try to expedite your I 129 F. I think that I 130 will take long time at NVC. Wish you luck and hope that you will succeed in bringing your wife to USA before giving birth.
