How long does it take to receive the registration number from NVC after the I130 approval?
-
Just received approval on October 25, 2023 for our I-130 application.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good. We are getting close, very close. I saw my lawyer today and he was very excited for movement on our case. I have been working very closely with my United States Senator for the last year who is an immigrant and has an open file on our case. I have become very close with her congressional staff assistant who makes monthly inquiries about our case. She is located in our state capitol and I drive up monthly to exchange any new information I may have. I believe in building relationships with people because it makes all the difference in life in general. Also, i connected my lawyer to my Senator's congressional staff assistant today. They will be working together to bring my husband to the United States. My lawyer feels the number one reason there is progress in my case is because of the involvement of my United States Senator from my state.
Hang in there and don't give up! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hello all, I did not see a recent thread for this group of filers so i thought I would start one just in case someone needed a place to share any updates or encouragement on their VJ. Since I have not been on the site in a while due to sheer discouragement with my own immigration case, I decided enough is enough, it is time to get back in the fight. So, it is truly a waiting game to say the least. I am the U.S. petitioner and my husband is in Kenya. We got married on August 16, 2021, I filed (with a lawyer mind you which is another story) in September making our our priority date September 27th, 2021. The case went from the Potomac Service Center and winded up in the National Benefits Center in Lee Summit ,MO(the dead zone when you have mishaps with your case from the lawyer) in February 20222. I reached out to my State Senator in April 2022. And they have little by little moved our case along. I received an update from the Senator's office in April 2023 that our case is now in the Saint Louis, Mo field office awaiting a selection of an officer to adjudicate our case. USCIS sent an e-mail last week to the lawyer ( who I haven't heard from by the way) and me indicating they were acknowledging his request for inquiry into our case being overdue for a decision. They stated they will either schedule me an interview or waive the interview and adjudicate our case. So, now we are no longer in limbo as we were for the first leg of our journey and our patience with this process has taught us a lot of valuable lessons such as hope, a deeper insight into ourselves and the process. We are weathering many hardships including finances, my new health challenges, etc. Stay the course even though it is difficult because it is well worth the effort!
