You shouldn't wait to hear from NVC, for one thing. It's better to call them to keep up with what's happening. Your case will probably arrive at NVC around Feb 19, but there's nothing required of you at that point. If your wife is done traveling as of Feb 25 you have nothing to worry about, it's taking a solid month after NVC receives a case for them to issue the number. And even at that point, they're not sending postal mail. When you call for your case number and IIN (again, not available until ~6 weeks after NOA2) they'll take your email addresses and further correspondence will be done electronically.

Thanks a lot for that information!

We are waiting for the hard copy of the NOA2 to arrive by post. What other information will I get in that letter besides what I already know from the USCIS website?

Congrats to everyone who just got a transfer! You should receive three electronic notices. You can disregard the content of these; every transferred petition since March has received these same three

Just a follow up on Nobby7's post - For any of you that were transferred to the Nebraska service center, I took it upon myself (I like doing these kinds of analysis), I took this thread that Nobby7 me

NOA2 doesn't contain any information at all. But folks are right, you should head on over to the NVC thread and start studying the first couple of posts: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/478133-nvc-filers-february-2014/. It'll have all the info you need and is the appropriate place to ask NVC-related questions. Good luck!

You got it all wrong.

By "curse" i meant to joke that you were supposedly delayed to 60 plus days despite at the CSC b/c you moderated.

Get it ?

Like the curse of the oscars.

Of course, I respect those that filed for my month and i'm here like 24/7 to support them.

Sheesh.. cray5ol.gif

Don't worry. I did understand what you were saying and responded based on that.

So it seems that I lost the marathon indeed. Bowing out from the race and wishing that no one wins this darn race. I want everyone to loose really really fast.

Praying for you Terry J. I was looking at all the names on spreadsheet and remembered yours. If I recall, you're not doing consular now, right? Sorry if I mixed you up with someone else. Mine was actually at California but stuck for some reason almost full 60 days from transfer. I am so upset for you that you are still waiting. Have you asked them what holdup is? any infopass, congressional intervention? Praying for you. You are in NY too? We have somewhat similar path. mine more complicated and unpredictable for now....

You remembered correctly. We'll be filing the AOS in the US before the end of this month. So unlike many, I'm now with my husband and I don't take that for granted for one second. Our immigration road is complicated and we have a lawyer due to the circumstances surrounding my case - it helps me to be in the US actually.

I'm in NY also :) We'll just file the I-485 along with the copy of the I-130 transfer and NSC will have no choice but to send the I-130 to match it up with the I-485 so that's why we're holding off on intervening for the moment. If I were still in Canada you bet my husband would have done everything to get that moving!

I wish you well and everyone else here waiting to get their I-130's approved!

I guess they might be trying to use birth certificate as a proof to US citizenship.

Sounds reasonable! We included a copy of the passport data page.
