Question regarding I130 review by appellate body

[Cocacola7890 0]

Hello All,

I would really appreciate your help on this. Today when i check on USCIS website following message shows up for I130 file for my wife:

"On March 25, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we certified our approval of this case and sent it to the appropriate appellate body for review. They will notify you directly when they make a final decision. If you move while this case is pending, follow the instructions provided in the notice and use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition."

Could you plz let me know if my case has been approved or not? If not, how long does appellate body take to make the final decision?

I would really appreciate your help on this.

Thanks

The theory is that this is the notice you get when your I-130 petition has been approved by your local field office, and the "appellate body" they've shipped it off to is NBC. Basically your field office approved your petition and sent it off to NBC for the final word. NBC is where the official NOA2s are given out. Congrats!

Thanks for the quick reply. My file was at NBC. So I am assuming I should be getting NOA2 notice soon?

Thanks again

Hi Deep,

All cases get sent to NBC initially, but after a month or so they gets sent out to field offices. I would keep a look out for an NOA2 in the mail within the next week or two.

Hi I am in a similar situation. The USCIS website says I am still in initial review, but I already have NOA2 in hand. Could you share any trouble you may have had with your application? Thanks!
