USCIS DCF I-130 Petition:       Dept of State IR-1/CR-1 Visa:     USCIS I-751 Petition:   USCIS N-400 Petition:

IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Date Service Center : National Benefits Center Transferred? No Consulate : Tokyo, Japan Marriage (if applicable): 2006-06-22 I-130 Sent : 2013-01-15 I-130 NOA1 : 2013-01-17 I-130 RFE : I-130 RFE Sent : I-130 Approved : 2013-02-14 NVC Received : 2013-06-26 Received DS-261 / AOS Bill : 2013-03-21 Pay AOS Bill : 2013-04-20 Receive I-864 Package : 2013-04-20 Send AOS Package : 2013-06-25 Submit DS-261 : 2013-04-20 Receive IV Bill : 2013-03-21 Pay IV Bill : 2013-06-02 Send IV Package : Receive Instruction and Interview appointment letter : 2013-06-02 Case Completed at NVC : 2013-07-23 NVC Left : 2013-07-30 Consulate Received : Packet 3 Received : Packet 3 Sent : Packet 4 Received : Interview Date : 2013-09-24 Interview Result : Approved Second Interview (If Required): Second Interview Result: Visa Received : 2013-10-01 US Entry : Comments : The whole process was very smooth and faster than I thought it would be. The people in Tokyo and Vermont (NVC) were all very professional and helpful. From initial application to receipt of the visa was 9 months, but that includes an intentional delay of over two months for the birth of our second child. The hardest part of the experience was the initial research to figure out how the marriage visa system worked, and being prepared certainly paid off. VisaJourney was a huge help in that regard. Going into the process I feared the worst but in the end it all turned out okay. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 28 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 250 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
