Nathan, the link in post #2 is your new bible.

does either of you know roughly how long all this takes?ive been doing research also and havent exactly seen a timeline for the rest of the process and was just curious if any one knew... and thank you..i opened the link in post 2 and wow thats a lot of info.this looks like it will take longer than the i130 section..but im not entirely sure.

[Darnell 8,478]

At nvc, in and out ? Fast? 4 to 5 months, currently.

thats not too bad.do you know roughly how long the consulate processing time takes?

[Darnell 8,478]

Prior to interview? 20 days. After interview? 1 to 3 weeks.

roughly 6 months total give or take a month...this was approved quicker than i thought and kind of has me at a stand still..do you know where the link is that has the info for the financial requirements?i forgot what it is but has the list of the poverty level per person..unless walmart comes through asap with the new pay upgrade for us walmart managers i wont meet the requirements rite now and will need my dad as a join sponsor and need to make sure he meets the requirements as well.

you are not sure why nothing has changed?something could be going on but unable to be tracked.

I'm pretty sure all the links and info you need you can get to through the "Bible" I linked to in my first comment. But here's the official NVC website and explanation of the steps. Read through them. As for your specific question, financial requirements are in I-864P. If you're military you need 100% of the poverty line, if not 125%

NVC: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/approved/contact.html

I-864P: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf

If you want ideas of how long the process can take, study people's timelines and signatures. There's a wealth of information on VJ.

Well 99% of the operators said in NVC that after i got a case # i should wait 42 days to proceed, but earlier when i called the operator said that its not normal and she will send it out to an supervisor to check it. Ill try to call back next week i hope its a good news.
