Hi everybody, thanks for replying. Actually I did receive my NOA2 through e-mail (not hard copy yet), so I just wanted to know what I could do to find out when NVC receives the case. Thanks again to all of you!

Hello everyone, I am not sure if this information is already available in another topic, but I did not find it. My question is, how does one know when a case is forwarded to NVC after the NOA2 approval? Also, how can you know when NVC sends one's case to the beneficiary's embassy? Thank you in advance.

You do need to be honest about it though. And make sure it was only a 5 year ban. If the ban is still in effect, it is actually ILLEGAL to apply for a visa or otherwise seek admission to the USA without FIRST getting permission, so you could get in more trouble. Does he have any paperwork from that time? Was he actually removed (deported), or did they just deny him entry? Also, does he have a record in DR because of this? Sometimes you face consequences in DR for this sort of thing.

It looks like you have a lot of information to gather. And, since you know in advance that you have an issue, it may be advisable to shell out the cash for a GOOD US immigration lawyer. S/he will be able to facilitate the acquisition of any available documentation (and your SO's A number etc.), so that you can be proactive and not delay the process.

Good luck.

Thanks for the information. My fiance says that he was not given any paperwork or anything, they just took his fingerprints in Puerto Rico the same day he entered and after 10 days, they deported him back to DR. He does not have a record in DR, which seems very weird to me. But his record is clean. I am not sure what to make of it.

Thanks to everyone for the help. That took a big worry off my mind. Congratulations Nik+Heather!

Hey Karina, you can check this link out from the USCIS website. It gives you information about appealing if your case has been denied. Maybe that will help you. Let me know if it was any good.

Hi, I filed form I129F in March 2009. My fiance and I have been together for more than 5 years now. I am patiently waiting to receive any new information from the Vermont Service Center, but I am nervous about something and I was wondering if anyone could help me. My fiance tried to enter illegally to Puerto Rico from Dominican Republic, in 2003 (seven years ago) when he was 17 years old. He was caught in Puerto Rico and deported to Dominican Republic. In DR, the consulate told him that after five years that deportation would erase from his record since he was under-age and that he could try to enter the US legally after those five years. I would like to know if that affects the petition and also, should he have sent a pardon when we started filing form I129F? I am so afraid that will ruin his chances. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I wish I could help, but I am new at this and I don't know much. I just wanted to show some support as a fellow Dominican. I know that the consulate in DR can be very difficult, and I am nervous myself about my own case because even if our relationships and marriages are true, they don't care they just decide whatever they want. I'm sorry to hear about what is happening to you, sorry I can't help. Good luck and if you speak Spanish, con Dios delante todo saldra bien, solo hay que tener fe.
