US Immigration from Mexico

Greetings,

I am Keith, currently living in the Dallas, Texas area. I have been a member here for about two weeks. I have been reading everyones posts and trying to find out how to read their timelines. I was married on 3-23-2021 and filed the I-130 on 3-30-2021. I received a receipt and I was also wondering if that is the NOI1? I'm very new to the process and I'm not completey sure. The wife is currently living in Durango, Mexico. My case has been sent to the NSC for processing so I hope they get things done quick there. Carolina (Wife) had a visa a few years back and visited California for a week but lost it after she returned. Does anyone think this will b e an issue for the I-130? I am worried that the I-130 will be refused because the visa information could not be recovered. In addition, is 120k a year income good enough to get the support form approved? Does anyone have any current timelines on I-130 approval? Thank you all for posting in this forum and giving us new guys/girls some knowledge.

Dear members of this community, once you get access to the NVC online portal (after Form I-130 has been approved) and you've paid the fees for the Affidavit of Support and the Application, can you submit both of them the very same day? Or do you need to submit the AOS first and wait until it gets approved?

Last but not least, as the petitioner, can you fill out the application for your beneficiary?

Thanks in advance for any help you could provide.

It has been 20.5 months since I filed the I-130 for my husband. I have been filing an inquiry basically every month since my congress person's office was told my case was pending extended security checks in May of 2020. Typically I received an email saying my case was in line for review and would be reviewed in the order it was received (which is 100% incorrect as it has been almost 2 years since I filed and plenty of cases have been adjudicated since ). In any case, today, I received the attached response.

Does anyone know what security checks they are supposedly completing? Is this on me? Is it on my husband? And how in the heck do I get more information/answers about why my case has been in limbo for almost two years? I'm sick of waiting and I'm sick of being told to KEEP waiting when the consular process is slated to take another 2 years.

This plus COVID is causing severe strain on my mental health and his. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi,

My I-130 case was supposadley transferred from TSC to VSC in February 2021. This is exactly when we should have received an approval or denial from TSC. We filed June 2020.

It is a "difficult Case" having been denied the first go around in 2010. Not sure if this is why it was transferred and on top of everything else their wait time is horrendous, two years when we have already been waiting through the TSC for close to ten months.

What have others experienced with their case being transferred to VSC, was your case a "difficult" case? Do we start from scratch counting the wait time?

Good afternoon!

My husband took his oath for US citizenship on March 17, 2021. He requested for his name to be changed. His oath ceremony was held at Washington DC USCIS office. However, since the oath ceremony didn't take place at a courthouse, he has not received a legal document regarding his name change. Although, his new name does appear on his naturalization certificate.

Will the naturalization certificate be sufficient for him to update his social security card with his new name? Or will a name change document be arriving in the mail?

Thank you!
