Approved March filers - petitions forward to NVC

[Jas S 0]

Life just sucks and so does the system to get a VISA for your legit spouse. Why do they make us suffer so much, why do they do this to all of us.

I came to India hoping that while I am here the papers will arrive here and I can help my wife with all the running around and be there for the interview...but everything is getting so much delayed. We got approved from USCIS on August 15th. I spoke with NVC a few weeks back and they said that they are mailing out a letter to my lawyer for Affidavit of Support and Green Card Fees. My lawyer still has not received anything in the mail... Why does this mail thing take so long with the Government. When I mail something to someone they receive it within 4 business days max. Then why is it taking them over 2 weeks? #######

The wait is brutal. My wife is in her 6th month of pregnancy and I really want her to deliver in the States. I hope by some miracle her interview happens in October.

Anyone have any ideas for realistic time frame I am looking at for the interview date?

hello guys i just called the NVC they received mine lat 091707 , how long does it take for them to send it in consulate manila ? congrats to u sau im happy ur journey is over ..

Question? Did u get a touch online on ur case on the 17th when it arrived NVC? I know mine has been sitting in the mailroom at CSC since 4Sept (told that by rep) and I got a touch on the 17th. Wondering if that was it leaving CSC or arriving at NVC.

i can feel your pain Jas. it must be doubly hard for you since your wife is pregnant. i think if your I-129 was approved it would have been more beneficial for you. it is hard to project the time frame for the interview but for i-129 it is usually anywhere from 2 to 3 months. i still don't understand why your I-129 didn't get approved. even though we all now that the CR is a better visa but since you want your baby to be born here I-129 would have been super. all i can say is I will pray for you.

I was wondering the same thing. Did I see the last of the touches when it was approved last week ,or will there be another one once it actually leaves the control of the CSC and is on it's way to the NVC. It looks like the NVC only holds them for processing for a week or so, and then ships them off to the appropriate embassy.

Jas, bad news is that for an I130 to complete processing at NVC takes anywhere from 4-6 months. If you were following James' Shortcuts you can shave that down to 3 months ( I know you are out of the country and you can't use the shortcuts). Don't know about the wait time for a CR1 interview at your consulate. If your I129F is approved, it might get to India sooner than the already approved I130. You might still get a K3 interview before the I130 case is finished at NVC. Good luck!

Kalina, when you check with NVC on your forms are you talking to a person and asking about both forms?

My husband calls everyday. Yes, he talk with real person. CSC has sent by now our daughter's I 130 not our I 129 which we want to use. He called CSC too and every time they said different information. I fall into despair :crying:

Thanks for the words Zolanden. Wish you luck too :thumbs:

Sorry, Kalina, Zolanden, and everyone else waiting on these slow government agencies still. I think no matter what they tell you, just keep calling every single day! And if someone tells you something that leaves you feeling hopeless, call back and talk to another person. Because they will all tell you different things. Eventually you will get ahold of the right person that can really help you or provide real information and not just give you the canned answers.

What I can tell you is that after waiting so long, something should happen any day now. It is smooth sailing after that....things move much quicker. So don't lose hope!

Lvivlovers thank for your words and thank you Kalina for your words too.

Lvivlovers I hope you are right about this thing again,like you were right about ,when I was scared to death,that they might lose our papers!

I wish good luck to your wife on her upcoming interview!

kalina and zolanden.... i know how you feel. i was freaking out too. it took them 31 days for my petition to be forwarded. just give CSC a call using the RFE trick... if you haven't done that. other than that.. all you can do is wait. but i am positive everything is ok with your case.... they are just LAZY.
