F2A - NVC Stage questions

[tim131 14]

Hello there,

My wife has petitioned for me. She is an LPR, so its an F2A. However she is eligible to apply for citizenship come July. We got a letter confirming our case has been transferred to the California Service Center, which I am lead to believe is going quite fast now - it is a distinct possibility our case will be passed on the the NVC before she gets her citizenship and can update our petition to that of a US Citizen.

My Question is, should our case be transferred to the NVC stage, what exactly happends, will we do the police certificates, AOS stuff etc before out priority date becomes current, or does that all come after our PD comes current?

Many Thanks - I am wanting to get the likes of police certs ordered now, so we can make this process as fast as we can.

Nah no NOA2 as of yet.

So just to confirm, NVC does process things like police certs and AOS's even when our PD isn't current.

I lived in a foreign country, so want to get the Police report as soon as just to have, I like being prepared

Thanks

Bump!

Anyone know the answer? Do I have to wait for a current PD?

Thanks!

if you already have your noa2 and your wife gets her citizenship, then. Immediately upgrade your petition to IR1 so you wont be waiting for your priority date to be current. Because as you know USC dont have limited visa allocation. And about the process on nvc stage, you'll get email from nvc with your case number and invoice identification number together with what you need to do. And, you can already log in to ceac to monitor your case status if you can already pay the AOS. Dont worry you will jave all the time in the world. As you said, she'll be eligible for applying on July and citizenship process takes 5-6months plus another months waiting for the upgrade. And yes! You can start collecting documents on your freetime so you wont take rush in time you'll be needing it. Edited April 19, 2014 by Mockingjay
