Approved April/May/June Filers waiting for NVC

[raquel_1208 1]

my husband called NVC last friday and told him our papers are not with them yet so i guess i will ask my husband to call the misinformation line at CSC on monday or maybe i'll just have to wait for the mail to come from NVC. what worries me is why we havent receive NOA2 for my daughter's I-130. we haven't reached the 6-month mark yet so we are hesitant to call CSC.

Congrats!

Ours was sent to the Embassy on 16 NOV 2007. So three days at the NVC, not bad.

As in Nov. 16? Hmm. That is quite awhile. You may be in the same boat as edp333. Their I129F was not forwarded yet (and they were approved on Oct. 23). Ed called CSC and after explaining the situation convinced the person he spoke with to request a transfer, hopefully that will get it (re)sent.

your daughter is covered on your I-129. She will not need the I-130 until she adjusts status here. She will travel on a K-4 and is not required to file a seperate 129f. (assuming she is listed on your 129f and is a minor)

she is listed in the i-129f but we are hoping to do i-130 as well and see which goes first to embassy in Manila.

that sounds reasonable. I just wanted to reassure you that you are okay either way.

Raquel,

USCIS's stated policy is to hold approved I130s for AOS and to send the approved I129Fs to NVC to be forwarded to the embassy. They had some trouble initially implementing this policy, but are now actually following it pretty well. If you look at the hard copies of your NOA2s, the I130 NOA2 will say something to the effect that your spouse is already in the US and will adjust status, while the I129F NOA2 will say that it was sent to NVC.

If its the I130 that you were inquire about that wasn't sent to NVC, it won't be sent to NVC unless you send the I824 to USCIS to tell them to forward it. Several problems there, the fee for this form is over $300 i believe, and it takes like another 6 months to process. Then you have to go through a minimum of 3-4 months at NVC. Also, you have to hope that your child's I!30 is approved within this time frame.

Essentially by sending in the I129F now, you are locked into that path. There is almost no chance of having both horses in the race like people had a year ago. The length of time to get a CR1/IR1 is not much longer than that for a K3, but only if you pursue the CR1/IR1 directly. Once you file the I129F, to get the CR1/IR1 the timeline as you can see is way longer, and probably not worth pursuing.

she is listed in the i-129f but we are hoping to do i-130 as well and see which goes first to embassy in Manila.

Thanks for that info Urge...I guess the best thing to do right now is ask CSC if our i-129f is still in the staging area.
