Hi Guys, I just found this group I had been posting on a different one.  I filed the I-130 for my husband back in November, priority date is Nov 16-2016.  My petition was approved after 3 months and sent to NVC on April 12th.  I just called NVC and got my case number and invoice number .  This is been the hardest thing I ever had to do, the wait alone is enough to drive you crazy and not to mention being away from my husband.  Does anyone know how long before I get an email or letter from NVC?

 

wishing the best to everyone on this journey

Hey Guys, 

 

Applied for my parents and the application was received on April 10. I am part of the April thread but seeing that you guys have more experience and possibly further along the process; can you advise below:

 

At present the online status says Your case was received... we have sent you the receipt which tells you how the case would be processed and please follow the instructions. But I did not see anything stating how it would be processed and no instructions to follow. Is this the normal message when checking the status online?

 

And when is the average time that the status online changes?

Hi Melican, Yes that is the normal message that you see while your case is being processed at USCIS. They should have mailed you the NOA1 (Notice of Action) forms to let you know they recieved your I-130. There is nothing to do now other than wait for them to process your case. Once they are done they will send you a NOA2 to inform you your case has moved on to NVC. If USCIS needs anymore information they will send you an RFE (Request For Evidence) 

USCIS normally updates the timeline page roughly once a month on the 15th. Depending on which Service center your case was sent to you can calculate their wait time. Hopefully your case was not sent to Nebraska center because they are the slowest at the moment in case processing. Am on month 9 waiting when it "should" have taken 5 months. Good Luck

Thank you very much for your informative response. I did receive the NOA1. So is it after I receive the NOA2 I pay and fill put the DS-260?

Yes it is, when your case moves from USCIS to The State Dept (NVC) process.

Hi guys. Finally saw this threads. Just dropping some words I filed I -130 for my parents . My PD is SEP 19 at Nebraska service center. Still waiting for noa2. Called USCIS today. I was told they r back logged and call back if I didnt hear anything by the end of April. That makes over 7 months. Patiently waiting ?

Good luck to all who is waiting.

Based on my last two calls to NVC, they're taking 11 weeks to review due to high volume. My scan date is March 8.

I called for a status update earlier tonight and was told my application has been reviewed and documentarily qualified, so now we're just waiting for an interview date.
