Hello fellow visa journey users! Another month is here, and since I myself will FINALLY be filing in this month I tried looking for a thread for June 2014 filers but since there wasn't one yet, here it is! So to all those filing for their I-130 here is the place to ask and discuss anything and everything! Wishing everyone a quick journey through this process! Let the waiting games begin :)

You can either have him print/sign and then scan and send as an attachment. If he has a touch smart phone, he can quite easily download a program for free such as docusign where he can sign the document using a touch pen and send via attachment.

Just found out my NOA2 approved Oct 25, 2013 is still good. Was automatically extended by the embassy until one year of the last date of notification which is Dec 3, 2013. It's a race now.

Hi, USCIS just received the I-130 yesterday (June 19, 2014) thru USPS tracking. I was wondering what is the next step and about how long would it take for me to receive a receipt that they actually receive it. Thanks

We've been notified about our NOA1 receipt after 6 days thru email. And like 8 days in mail. We need to wait for the NOA2...or wait if they asked for RFE
