Hey everyone,

My wife and I just sent in our I-130 forms and they have been received by the Chicago office.

My wife is returning to the states after living in Canada for three years and I am coming with her. We are staying in Canada until the everything is complete.

We have a home waiting for us in Chicago.

Let the long journey begin. Good luck to everyone. Lets hope that this process is relatively quick.

Hi everyone! We also submitted our I-130 in July. Our PD is 7/9. The case was transferred to VSC and our hardcopy arrived in the mail on 7/14.

I already can't stop checking the USCIS website, even though I know it's going to be awhile until anything changes.

I hope we all get through this quickly and unscathed! :D

Hi everyone. Long time lurker here. Have done my research and combed through this forum and website for guidance. I finally sent off my I-130 packets yesterday. I sent two of them, one for my husband and the other for my stepson.

When they cash cheque and route it to the service centre, does that mean everything is good with the I-130 - no mistakes, and it is just going through processing?

Ours went to Vermont.

I wish I knew if it meant we had errors or not! I'm pretty anxious about ours missing something somewhere. We poured over it again and again, but who knows. There's no telling what silly thing may have slipped through the cracks once you start to go cross-eyed. :bonk:

No, it just means that they have accepted it & will be reviewed. RFEs, if any, are usually sent months later.
