I am a GC holder (LPR)....The I-130 I filed for my spouse April 2010 and got approved by USCIS this week (received NOA2 in the mail). Can someone/anybody here who filed under the same category and who have already completed the medical exam @ St. Luke's and interview at the U.S. Embassy in manila give me an idea how long I have to wait before my spouse gets interviewed? I am aware that we will be receiving bills and packets prior to the final appointment letter. I just wanna know how many months more to wait so I would have a mere estimate as to when I will be expecting him to finally come to the U.S. Thanks in advance for those who'll reply to this post.. =)

It varies....usually in the Philippines it takes longer. Just crossed your finger that everything goes smoothly. Minimum takes 6months in the PI but some cases takes a year or even longer. Goodluck!

I would recommend that she request her packet(visa) once she passed the interview for pick-up rather than waiting in the mail. Sometimes it get lost or takes longer than usual....

Hi guys. Im so sorry if i posted my concern here. I just really need help from you guys.. Im a newbie here..

Here's my concern...



Before I turned 21, my mom who is a green card holder filed an I 130 petition for me and Im assumed its F2A when my mom filed it... AND after 1 year and 8 months the USCIS shows POST DECISION ACTIVITY on USCIS.GOV saying...

"On June 20, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."


For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.



Now, Im very confused! and worried! because when my mom filed the Petition for me I was under F2A... and now that the petition is approved and Im already 22 and turning 23 on november , will my category automatically changed to f2b? thats a long, long, long wait!!! and will the CSPA can protect my status to remain as f2a???


I checked the VISA BULLETIN for JULY 2013 and my PD is OCTObER 5, 2011 and if it is still under F2A, my PD will be current next month right???


By the way...

-I received an email from USCIS the same message I saw when I logged in at USCIS.GOV in the case status.

-My mom received the letter after 3 days and contacted USCIS, uscis told my mom that NVC will send letter to her..

-and Just today JUNE 27, 2013 i received an e-mail from USCIS saying...

"The California Service Center (CSC) no longer has jurisdiction over this petition. This case was approved and notification was mailed to the address of record on June 20, 2013. This case will be forwarded to the National Visa Center. Please send any further correspondence to the following address: NVC, 31 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909. Direct any telephone inquiries to (603) 334-0700.


NOTE: Always include any identifying information about the petition, including full names and dates of birth for petitioner and beneficiary, receipt numbers and the NVC case number.


If you need a duplicate copy of your Approval Notice, you may file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with fee.


"I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW, AND Im very WORRIED AND CONFUSED!!! PLEASE HELP!!!"...
