August 2011 F2A filers

[DeathStrike 9]

CSC approves the petition and sends it to the NVC. NVC normally starts processing it approximately one year before they think that the priority date might be current. Once you have completed NVC processing, your file waits for your priority date to become current.

Yes, it will take over two years to get a visa; CSC approves the I130 then sends to NVC and it waits there until further processing.

Am sure you will be getting aprroval soon.

Goodluck

Thanks ! at least something to look forward to

We finally got our NOA2 email and txt yesterday (4/14/2012) which is a saturday! I was SOOO shocked...

Its been a rough week for me as i just came back from seeing my wife in Pakistan last saturday and promptly got bitterly sick here.

This was the BEST way to end this week - some movement on our case.

I instantly txtd my wife (it was past midnight her time) and we enjoyed our progress together on skype...

Good luck to all those that are still waiting for their NOA2.

Now on to the waiting that is the next step i guess?

Someone mentioned a year long wait before NVC process?

I plan to file for my naturalization at 5yrs-90days which should be Dec 1st 2012... so hopefully we will get upgraded before then?

Congratulations! I would think that the NVC would start processing your case before the end of the year - your case would qualify for processing one year before they expect your priority date to become current.

My husband will be eligible to apply for citizenship at the end of November, so it looks like we'll have a similar timeline in the naturalization process too.

If any of you gets the US citizenship just file a new application and she will be here in 6 months. explore your options.

downside: you will have to pay for the other form which the citizens submit, but if it saves time and instead of 12-18 months you only have to wait 6 months, it worths every single penny...

You are wrong sir. If the petitioner became US Citizen, all he/she needs to send US CITIZEN CERTIFICATION to the service center and request them to upgrade the case file as IR1/CR1.

No need to file separate I130..

Have a happy...

I'll keep an eye on your progress then!

Thanks for sharing this.

Have a nice day

CSC now shows Aug 23, 2011 as I-130 processing date.

Fingers crossed ... my PD is Sept 06 .... hope to get NOA2 ( ) or RFE ( ) soon

We put in our first service request today since VSC is suddenly showing a processing date of 4 September 2011. I am probably getting my hopes up for nothing, but maybe there's a small change that the service request would lead to an approval over the next few weeks.

I hope everyone is doing well - my husband is visiting me this week so I'm happy

Got an RFE (text, email). Pretty sure it is about bonafides

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. What documents are they asking for?

Take it positively, at least you know now that they are looking at your petition!
