Hello Guys, maybe you can help me, it seems like the dates for the process in Nebraska for the i130 havent been updated since june, but i have received no contact from them at all

 

Is there anything else i should be doing? i am getting worried, my mom situation in venezuela is getting worse and worse

Yes, there will be a checklist you can print out once you start the NVC process. You can check this link to find out more info :

Hi sis @love&cinta I have question regarding the I-864. I petition my mom & dad too. I asked my sister in law to have support besides mine and my husband. Since I'm gonna send 2 I-864 forms, should my sister in law fill up the form my mom and me & my husband to my dad? And did u include a copy of your passport in sending documents? Thank you in advance. 

 

Hi!! Hmmm.. I'm afraid that I have no clear answer for you.. In my case, I completed 1 form I-864 for my mom and 1 form I-864 for my dad. Then my husband completed 1 form I-864A for my mom, and 1 form I-864A for my dad.. you may want to call NVC or do some research from trusted website.

 

and yes, I did send 2 copies of my passport to NVC. 

 

Good luck and hope you find the answer for your question! 😊😊

Do we need to fill both I-864 and I-864A? What is the difference?

To those who are curious what the next steps are after the USCIS approval, here's my NVC timeline (so far):

 

06/13/17 - I-130 approved

07/20/17 - got my NVC case ID and invoice # over the phone. 

07/21/17 - received email from NVC with case ID and invoice # along with steps and document checklist

07/21/17 - chose agent (me) / got email confirmation right away

07/22/17 - paid $120 AOS fee (this one's tricky, because when I went to check my status on NVC's website, it says there I need to call NVC to confirm the information regarding the agent chosen was correct but on the receipt of that I received after choosing the agent, it says I will receive an email with my case id and invoice id... in my case, I just paid the fee right away since it's a Saturday and I won't be able to call NVC anyway.)

07/26/17 - AOS fee status changed from IN PROCESS to PAID

07/29/17 -  called NVC because it has been a few days and the IV fee is still grayed out. I was able to confirm that I'm on the right track and that it normally takes a whole week for them to process the payment.

07/30/17 - received IV invoice for $325, paid right away (the Beneficiary ID is on this invoice. I have been wondering where I could find it since it is needed when filling out DS260

 

I guess I'll try to be patient and wait for 1 whole week for them to process my IV fee... I have already filled out my AOS form and just compiling all other requirements. I'll let you guys know what happens next.  

Thank you jennnnnnnnnna for the updates ...a big help for me & ease my curiosity on what to do next.... GOD BLESS US.... looking forward on your next post.

Thank you. I sent them end of May and I did recieve email requesting more documents in early July. And now it's September. About 3 months give or take. So make sure you everything. I think it would have been sooner if I had all paperwork.

Thank you. If you have all paperwork I believe it'll be 2 months. I was delayed a month and half because I needed added documents

Parent petition APPROVED! 

Received my NOA yesterday through mail. 

 

Feb. 27, 2017 - I-130 petition for mother received.

Sep. 9,2017 - I- 130 petition for mother APPROVED.

 

Now waiting for them to contact me... How long does it usually take for them to contact you?

What was your processing center? 

[iheartspink 44]

Hey. I was so surprised when I opened this up and realized so many people who petitioned in January have already been approved.

My priority date is January 10 and the Nebraska Service Center has my I 130. I petitioned for my husband. I called this week and asked if there was anything wrong with my case... and they just told me that now Nebraska is working on December 9. 

Still now I see so many people have received responses already. Does anyone have any feedback for me? Should I be worried? Why is mine taking so long?

Please!
