Hi all, I read somewhere that NVC will process approved cases when the PD becomes current OR about to become current. How many months away from the current cut off can be regarded as about to become current? What happens to petitions approved in later in Sep, Oct and Nov 2013? Share if you know.

it is so unfair and unfortunate that you got approved in 42 days and rest of us are waiting for many months. I pray that that you Priority date will not become current for at least 10 more months so you can also feel the pain of waiting like rest of us.

Kalloo,

Perhaps you had time to cool off and re-read that less-than-perfect statement and think about it.

I am not trying to make you feel bad and I have to say that I completely understand your frustration, anger and sadness but let's not wish bad things to other people that have been lucky to not deal with this awful immigration situation.

My first gut feeling after hearing about this very quick cases is to lash my anger at someone more fortunate (just like you) but let's keep a cool head we are all better than that. IT IS UNFAIR, there is no question about that, this should be first come first served but it is what it is.

I have been punching walls with every unlucky visa bulletin, cursing out loud with every day I have no news and getting depressed with every pointless checklist from NVC... I am not, in any way, better than you and I have been in very dark places these past few months dealing with this broken system but let's be supportive to each other. No one deserves to be away from their loved ones and it is a messed up system...

If you ever need to msg someone to vent or hear past experiences I am sure you would find a lot of very supportive people around.

Sorry, but that's just an awful thing to say to somebody you don't know who has not caused any harm to you. It isn't their fault you haven't been approved yet.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Yes that is true. I did read online in other forums where people have got their process going with in a month of PD being current at NVC. That could also show some light on the VB movement. I wish and pray that your PD becomes current soon and NVC can start processing your case.

Let me see if i can find the link where i read about NVC processing cases whose PD could become current very soon.

When you called up NVC what did they say? Did they tell you that AOS and IV invoice will show up? or did you log in to this website with your case number and Inovice Id number to see if AOS bill is "enabled" for you to pay?

I am still shocked by your response. I mean you no harm. I am sorry you have waited for eternity, or so it seems. I pray God would grant you Patience and Fortitude to bear the wait. I will try to keep you up to date with my progress, and of course I will like to know how much more you had to wait. Cheers

Thanks vkrishn, you are always helpful. God bless you.

When I called NVC the first time, I was told they had received the petition from USCIS but had not been entered into the computer yet. When I called them again on monday 25th Nov, the lady that answered said the case was just entered into their system that same day and told me to give another 30 days before calling again. She didn't mention anything about Invoice ID or any number. I guess I should call them again sooner than 30 days. I have been lackadaisical about it because of the "not current" PD.

I will be delighted if you can find the link where you read about the "PD about to be current" cases

Once again, thank you!

I believe he needs anger management classes...

God bless you, it beats me how i am connected to his ordeal.

I am not sure how much the PD has to do with it as the luck of the draw. You will recieve an email that you need to log on and pay your AOS and IV Invoice once you pay them and submit the required documents you will get case close and then you will recieve your interview. I found that when they tell you 30 days lately that is what they mean we had a delay in submitting the documents and when we did it was the beginning of August this year they didnt look at it until the beginning of Sept which is when the form had to be completed on line so they sent us an email to complete the online form. We completed it Sept 6th and submitted it back to them our case was not closed until Sept 27th. Once our case was closed we waited for our interview and we didn't recieve that email until October 28th. My PD is March 2012. It didnt move any quicker with that PD than what they told you. So just keep checking and praying I am very sorry that someone would wish you ill will on your journey because of delays in thier journey I am happy for you that things are proceeding quickly and I pray it keeps going at this pace for you.

There is nothing called "PD" for IR1/CR1 cases. PD applies only to F2A. So for IR1/CR1 cases once I-130 is done NVC will process it no matter what where as in the case of F2A, NVC will process it only when PD is current for that F2A case as per Visa bulletin.

What I have seen in past is NVC will process ou like usual and you will just be in case Complete until one you become citizen and submit papers or your PD becomes current.

So just go through like normal. You will just sit until your number comes up.

it is so unfair and unfortunate that you got approved in 42 days and rest of us are waiting for many months. I pray that that you Priority date will not become current for at least 10 more months so you can also feel the pain of waiting like rest of us.

kalloo

There is absolutely no place on VJ for this kind of behavior. How do you expect to be blessed when you can't be happy for others. Sorry your wait is long.

Goodness. Stop it now. You should apologize for what I hope was just a bad day you were having.

I normally if ever express myself in this way but dear you hit a big old nerve and I had to let you know this is not how we behave here,
