Hello dear community, my husband (the beneficiary abroad) moved recently to a new city and he is traveling for work. We are not fiance so we are going through counselor process after i-130 approval. Do we need to update his address in NVC or USCIS? Does he (or will he) ever any physical mail at any stage until he immigrates or is everything communicated via email? please advise because i am worried about potential miss of mail thank you

thank you, i will try again. without paying fees, are there any action i can take? like filling or submitting forms or submitting documents? or paying the fee is first and only step to get started? thanks again.

Hello dear community, our i130 approved and we got welcome email 2 weeks ago. Since then, we could only login to portal but cannot make a payment. Cannot upload or start any application because payment cannot be made. when i tried to pay first fee, it gave me error: "unable to complete form, please try again later” but it got stuck as status “in process”. Please see my screenshot. My question: Is there a deadline for paying the fee or anything else at this stage? I'm just waiting for system to work again but I don't want to miss anything to cause a denial or delay. We received approval notice and welcome email 2 weeks ago. We didn't upload any document, or submit a form yet. Are we racing with time? thank you if anyone can guide me.

i am also having same issue. i tried to submit a payment and it gave me an error. did you also try to make payment? please let me know if you have a solution.

Thank you for answering but my problem is: payment didn't go through I think. It gave me an error message. It said "please fix errors - unable to complete form, please try again later". Are you familiar with this issue? Also can you please comment on my last question: 3 - Is there a deadline for paying the fee or anything else at this stage? I'm just waiting for system to work again but I don't want to miss anything to cause a denial or delay. We received approval notice and welcome email 2 weeks ago. Much appreciated.

Hello, after our I130 has been approved we receieved welcome email 2 weeks ago. Last week, I logged in (US citizen petitioner) CEAC and tried to pay AOS fee. After trying to fee, it gave me error: "unable to complete form, please try again later” but it got stuck as status “in process”. Please see my screenshot. 1 - Should I try to pay other fee? 2- Did my payment go through? My bank account didn't change. 3 - Is there a deadline for paying the fee or anything else at this stage? I'm just waiting for system to work again but I don't want to miss anything to cause a denial or delay. We received approval notice and welcome email 2 weeks ago. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

thank you all, emails have been arrived. thanks again for help. i am confused about something in the email which i explained here: for i130, i was the petitioner. (US citizen) on nvc state, who is petitioner? can you please review my post?

Hello, we received welcome emails from NVC after i-130 approval notice. I am US citizen wife. I was the petitioner on I-130. i know what these terms mean but i'm confused about nvc state. for i-130, I (US citizen) am the petitioner and my husband (foreign citizen) is beneficiary. however in the NVC email, it sounds like my husband is the petitioner now. This becomes confusing when we talk about required documents for petitioner vs applicant. can you please clarify these 3 points: 1 - when we are on NVC website, is my husband(foreign citizen) petitioner? 2 - can i log in and fill the nvc website forms for my husband? 3 - in our case, who is "petitioner" , "applicant" , "beneficiary? thank you again for this forum.

thank you for the thought. i checked the email of my husband and it looks correct however he didn't receive any email. is there a way if we can check welcome email has been sent or not? is there an expiration date on the email? i just worry they might send it to wrong address or something. thank you for reply, does the welcome letter get sent to my husband (beneficiary) or me? is there a way if we can check welcome email has been sent or not? (i just worry if they send it to wrong address) thanks again

Dear community, I had a pending I130 for 17 months and last month I got notification for approval for I130. I129(K3) got denied 3 weeks later. So our I130 got approved, and K3 (I129) got denied in same month. we did not recieve any email or communication from NVC. we only recieved approval notice for I130 and denial notice for I129. Approval notice says my case will be transferred to NVC. I can't afford a lawyer so this site is my only source, i really thank you the community. Please if anyone can help me with following: 1 - What can I prepare while waiting for the welcome letter from NVC? Should I start filling out any forms/documents? Should I start collecting any documents? 2 - Who will get the welcome email? is it going to be my husband overseas (beneficiary) or me(US citizen) in the usa? is it a physical mail or email? 3 - How long does it take to get NVC letter after I130 approval (just an idea, i know it changes but is it usually months?) Thank you so much in advance Mona,
