I had good news to share but the thread gave me bad news first about review times now being 60 days. Anyway, my good news is both my IV and AOS fees are available to pay but haven't been paid yet and the I-864 hasn't been corrected yet (lawyer left many boxes blank and a couple entries were wrong).

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."
7/1/2014: Case received at NVC.
7/14/2014: NVC case number assigned.
8/1/2014: AOS and IV fees invoiced.
8/2/2014: AOS and IV fees paid.
8/5/2014: AOS and IV fees status changed to paid.
8/6/2014: AOS and IV packages mailed, completed and submitted DS-260.
8/7/2014: AOS and IV packages delivered to NVC.
8/8/2014: AOS and IV packages put into the system (scanned).
9/20/2014: Get the 60-day email.
9/30/2014: Case Complete!
10/3/2014: Interview scheduled for November 7.
10/20/2014: Medical appointment.

11/07/2014: Interview.

11/29/2014: POE JFK.

On the payment portal website it says not to pay both fees at the same time but one after another. Also, now I need someone to tell me what mail I should use to send in my package, FedEx, overnight express? I am going to do just as mentioned in Saylin's wiki, put both packages in the express envelope.

Yeah, it's such a big life change, I can't imagine not being stressed! I give my husband and all other beneficiary types here on VJ all the credit in the world. It takes so much strength, bravery, and love to do what you're doing. I do hope he'll be comfortable and happy here in time even if it's never "home", but honestly if it doesn't happen we'll just live somewhere else. Anywhere we can share a happy life together. Even if that means another visa process :lol:

It's possible to start working right away on a spousal visa, but the job search definitely takes time. We only started in earnest a week or two ago when we got his resume and cover letter done, but hopefully the search goes well from here :) Financially we're fine if it takes a while, but emotionally it takes a toll on him to not be working. Understandable, I know I'd feel the same in his position.

Home is when your heart is... :)

Your hubby is very lucky to have such an awesome wife :yes: I wish you guys, with all my heart, all the best!

emoticon-insomnia.gif <- Me last night. My mind was so busy spinning it wouldn't let me sleep :P Again.

Ok that's good. I pray you get a CC soon.

Thank you! Wishing you a very speedy CC, EOC4ever! :)

Is it Monday, yet? :lol:

When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, no one can ever tear them apart.

I'm wondering if they are just moving through the consulates alphabetically and that's why some haven't received it yet...

I haven't got one, but my consulate is SYD so later in the alphabet.

Thoughts on my theory?

Service Center : Nebraska Service Center

Consulate : Sydney, Australia

I-130:

Hi Saylin,

My husband had his medical done well ahead of his upcoming interview date.

And according to our consulate SYD, the medical is good for 6 months.

Our interview is Sept 2 and the expiry date for the medical is Sept 13th. And I know that this means we must enter the US prior to Sept 13th. But is there any other issue with having an expired medical shortly after our POE?

Thanks.

Hi vj members,

I need your help. My spouse talked to NVC rep, he told us about checklist regarding our civil documents. According to him we should provide them our marriage certificate in our native language.We have already sent them two marriage certificates one from our main federal authority and the other registered in local office which is mainly required by embassy in Islamabad. In major cities the English certificate is also available along with native. We submitted the English original one containing all signatures of me, my spouse, witnesses, marriage registrar and his stamp as well. We also have same in our native language as well. The country specific documents requirements list both of these types.

Now we needed the advice how to proceed?

Do we ask for supervisor review?

Do we wait for the email and then send the native language certificate along with its translation, although the certificate we have submitted them is its exact English version?

Do we send the certificate right away without waiting for the checklist cover page?

Hope there is no need to mention we wish to follow the way which will take minimum time
