Thanks for setting me straight, Urge. Also, thanks to Wintime for your post. I'm sorry I looked at the wrong name when I replied earlier. I was too sleepy, I think :whistle: The way you have explained it is how I thought it was in the first place until I got all confused. Whew! I'm sure you will be hearing a lot more from me as time goes on . . . I really appreciate having a forum like this.

Hey folks! Add me to the list :) See Sig below.

on a different note, i am hoping all of you here have the same wording written on the I-130 NOA2 as below:

"The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status. He or she should contact the local INS office to obtain Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence. A copy of this notice should be submitted with the application.

If the person for whom you are petitioning decides to apply for a visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with this office to request that we send the petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)."

Hi G&A !!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

And wanted to thank you once again for keeping the awesome spreadsheet back when we were awaiting our approvals!

Good Luck To You!!!

Let me know if you hear something from NVC - looks like we're the two Canadian filers in this forum (Lucky YOU gets to go through Vancouver - I hear the wait time for interview is MUCH faster than Montreal)!

As you can see in my timeline, my minor daughter was processed/approved at the NVC in just a week and the fee bill issued a 12 days after that. Still waiting for wife's I-130 to get into the NVC computer, as well as our combined I-129F.

I have not cieved any confirmation that the NVC has recieved my package. Please let me know that the chart has been update.

one of the forms needed in the packet # 3 is: DS-156, this form has no PDF format to download, it's online-fill form now, does anyone has the PDF handy?

thanks

just click continue and it will create empty pdf form for you with the barcode on it.

Guys please note that if you are filling in these forms so that your SO can redo (rewrite for some I guess) the forms, the DS-156 must be done online and printed on letter size paper. Don't know if they use A4 paper where your SO's are (Ethopia, India), but that was an issue for us.

Also, the latest chart:

hi all, i need an opinion. i sent an original notarized i134 form to wife. her travel agent tells her "notary stamp on the form looks like a copy (xerox copy) of the form". I personally know that travel agent is really good and running this business for a long time. May be since everything on the form is in black ink, i guess i would look like a copy.

Should I sent new i134? (i just think new form will look the same :))
