Thanks Nyokie for the answer. We already received both email confirmation and NOA1 to my husband's US address. Our case has been sent to Nebraska (aka Slowaska). I looked it up and found lots of disheartening stories about their slowness. Does anybody have any idea the processing center is selected on what ground? (Length of marriage, location, priorities, etc?).

Many thanks! 

They try to distribute the paperwork to different service so the workload is even from what I have researched

My husband sent a package on 17 Nov.

NOA-1 is 23 Nov, Texas service center.

 

VJ gives 2-7 Jun as an estimation for NOA-2.

 

I wonder when do you guys will start prepare for NVC phase (collect Police Certificate in advance, etc)?

Hi everyone! 

My petition was sent in November 22! Let the waiting games begin! Excited but 4-9 months seems so far away! 🤭🙄🙂

Got the NOA1, dated November 28 2017. Sent to slow Nebraska  I’m depressed now. Lawyer said 6-8 months for approval.

Hi. Got some questions here.

will my US citizen husband file another application for our 2 month old baby aside from mine?

 

You have to apply for CRBA. I did this for my two kids over the summer at The US Embassy in Toronto. I found the process to be pretty easy. I was approved on the spot at the appointment and recieved the kids certificate of birth abroad and passports a couple weeks later. Now we are filing i130 for my husband

I think I included random and unnecessary things in my packet, which is why I would really encourage everyone to follow the older posts to the letter. I might be "more contemporary" but you also don't know if I'm going to have a RFE or have my petition rejected overall.

 

In any case, these are the documents I included.

I.          MONEY ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $535

II.         FORMS

A.         Form G-1145: e-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance

B.         Form I-130: Petition for Alien Relative

C.         Two passport photos of Petitioner

D.         Copy of all pages of US Citizen Petitioner’s passport

E.         Form I-130A: Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary

III.        PROOF OF BONA FIDE MARRIAGE

A.         Marriage certificate

1.         English translation

2.         Spanish original

B.         Photographic timeline documenting relationship

C.         Petitioner’s father’s obituary, in which Petitioner and Beneficiary are listed as married

D.         Plane tickets demonstrating that Beneficiary visited Petitioner this year

1.         August 2017

2.         October 2017

E.         Proof that Petitioner and Beneficiary resided together

1.         Rental lease agreement signed by Beneficiary, which matches the Petitioner’s address in the power of attorney (see F)

IF your kids is the child of a US Citizen you don’t have to do I-130 for them you apply for CRBA. It’s a report of birth abroad and the equivalent of a US birth certificate.

Crba of our little one has been denied due to my husband's lack of physical presence.

That's what happened to mine when I searched the Receipt# upon the receipt of their notification via email. I had to wait I think 5 days. Hope this helps! 😊

Same here. I have tried to look up our Receipt # on USCIS website. It has been almost a month (Nov 17), but the website still says the receipt # is invalid. Wondering if I should make a call to the NCSC for an explanation?

Same!  Mine has been over a month (Nov 7th) and it still says invalid. I tried to call the number on the paper and I never got the option to talk to someone, all automated information. Frustrating.
