I really feel sad that there's no active SG filers here in VJ that could share some light on the DCF process. Nonetheless, I still feel blessed on learning a lot of stuff from other DCF filers. =)

I have called the Embassy to ask on their timeline. So for the soon to be SG filers, I would like to share this:

I-130 - Submission must be done in person on Tues and Thurs, 9am to 11pm. It will be sent to US consulate Bangkok and will undergo "security clearance".

Packet 3 - Waiting time 1 to 3 months after I30 submission. They didnt mention NOA1 and NOA2.

Interview appointment - 1 to 3 months after Packet 3 submission

Total is approx. 6 months.

Filed I-130 : Oct. 20,2010

Notice of Action: Nov. 29,2010

NoA received: Dec.3, 2010

NoA reply sent: Feb 3,2011

Bangkok USCIS receipt: Feb. 7,2011

Notice of Approval : Feb. 23,2011

Our NoA receipt: March 7,2011

Packet 3 received: April 1, 2011

Hello Combi!

That what we thought too... We also have no idea why Bangkok..From what I know all decision of the I130 will be coming from Bangkok.

Its also possible that they consolidate all petitions to be sent out to US there.

Hang in there dude! You're getting there! =)
