US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hello VJ,

I hope you're doing well.

My partner and I recently submitted our I-130 online on March 26th, 2024, with our service center being in California. Recently, my partner received an email from USCIS indicating that they have taken action on our case. However, upon checking the status, documents, and progress bars, we noticed that nothing has changed. Additionally, we submitted the K3 application one week later after our I-130 application but have not received any updates on that front yet.

Interestingly, in a WhatsApp group that we are part of, some individuals who filed their I-130 between March 25th and 27th, 2024, have reported receiving the same email.

Regards,

Hi! I received the medical exam envelope and it was sealed, signed, stamped. I added my fianc s name and dob on the outside. Should ve asked beforehand but is that ok or could it cause issues?

If I'm petitioning for my husband to come to the US from the Dominican Republic, will I have to travel there for our interview, or will we get separate interview dates for locations near where we reside?

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I noticed a 2024 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below.

You can use that calendar to track when the next shipment date will be.

Good morning VJ,

I hope this message finds you well.

We encountered an issue when preparing to submit the I-130 online. My partner noticed that some dates were missing from the "Draft snapshot." For instance, we completed his address history for the past five years, as shown in the image below:

However, when we review the "Draft Snapshot," the dates do not appear as filled out on the I-130 form:

Is that a normal thing? Is it ok to just submit?

Regards,
