You just have to wait and see, there's no guaranteed answer anyone can give you, it might be fine.

Thanks for your help

When you file the i 130 online are you randomly assigned a service center, or are most petitions ending up in the same center these days?

there's no difference whether online or not.

they determine internally where it goes, they do not all go to the same service center.

that all sounds like stuff you were supposed to send with the initial application.

anything else you would bring to the interview unless you get an RFE

Hello, i am submitting i-130 online form and have question regarding attaching US passport photo's .

Just to clarify, instead of directly uploading digital passport photo's; it needs to be printed then scan the photo both side and then upload it right ?
If so, how did you end up scanning the pictures? The 2x2 picture is scanned on a Letter format page so there's a big white gap, should I take that out?

Thank you!

You need to scan the actual photo size, there should be a crop setting when you're scanning

 I did try to crop the picture but then dimension and resolution got changed and it was not up to the requirement that they had asked for. 
Just need to do more trial-error method and a proper match!

I disagree with what some others have said about photos.  If you have a qualified 2X2 digital photo, just upload it.  No need to print, sign the back, reupload, etc. 

 

I did it and no issues.  And in the online app, it just says upload, nothing about signing, I think.  After I saw that the online form did not really work perfectly with the old printed instructions, I just followed what the online form directed me to do.

 

My opinion is that signing the back of a photo is only for hard copy mail-in submissions.  Can you imagine having 20 files on your desk and you see a photo lying on the floor, without a sig on the back?  Big problem!  Online submission is made to eliminate those old fashioned issues.  Unfortunately, there is not a specially adapted set of printed instructions for online filing.  Just follow the online form.

Hi guys, I wanted to ask if there is a thread on this forum related to I-130 NVC stage? I tried searching for it, but I couldn’t find one  specifically for spouse visa.

Actually, the I-130 and the NVC (DS-260) are two different stages in the immigrant visa process. You probably have to be a bit more specific as to what you are looking to find the right thread.
