US Immigration from Nepal

Hello,

just wanted to start this tread to start conversation and case tracking of I130 filed on October 2024.

I filed for both of my parents on 10/6/2024.
one application sent to TSC and another to VSC.

date filed: 10/6/2024 (online)

NoA: 10/6/2024

My visa journey shows CSC working on DEC 29th cases but the average time of approval is around 15 months. Is it accurate that CSC is working on cases with PD or NOA1 around DEC 29th? Please drop your PD and service center if you have recent approval for consular process.

My wife's mother case got DQ from NVC today. we are 3 in the family now she sponsoring her mother total household size will be 4. when I check poverty guidelines for household size of 4 the income needs to be $39000.she alone makes $40800. so that's the reason there is no joint sponsor. but case got DQ and at the same time got this message please assist

The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.

Dear Friends,

I filed I-130 for my mother on Oct, 2022 which is still pending. Based on the letter I can see that her medical was improperly filled out, how could I have known when it is sealed. But, what is my next course of action.

Is the issue with medical (I-693) or Affidavit of Support (I-864) or both?
Do you recommend I should refile or file I-290B?

If we were to refile I-485, is there a time limit when it should be done by since it says something about 33 days on page 3?

Thank you,

In the last page this is what it says,

The motion shall be filed on Form I-290B, together with the current fee and mailed to:

Thank you,

approval expires 2024-09-20. She is Nepalese student in Bangalore, India (for 3 years, the college probably never did FRRO form C)
We have been asking how to change to Kathmandu to process in her native country, since Jul 9-31. They require a letter....not paying $30 to waste 3wks for it to arrive.
Since it was sent by NVC, we're supposed to WAIT (since they're all about shortening processing time, best to not spam them with queries) or them to contact us. We have been asking where is the mail (since Nepal mail sucks [her idea. since she didn't bother to tell her mom to check] and nothing arrived in India where she is,) and what is the next step from Mumbai since Jul-30.
Stupid that they send it to Nepal, she's a student in India (current physical address in petition), BUT THEY SET THE EMBASSY TO MUMBAI, WHEN THEY ASK WHICH EMBASSY YOU WANT!!!!
Ticket response says it was given to a team. Then we have to ASK AGAIN for them to say they mailed it Jul-11, and attached intructions (packet4) in that response. It is Aug-2.
NOW WE KNOW WE HAVE TO GET PCCs from 3 countries.
(She finds how/where to do medical, makes flights home to get documents, i do a 134.)
and the India one will take 20-30 days, their website sucks, we figure out how to get it, it is Aug-17.

**this is Aug-17:
I am having difficulty getting a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from India and it looks like it is going to take some time. Moreover, due to my 10 years previous stay in South Korea, I need to get Police Clearance from South Korean Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal as well.
Since, its going to take a while to get my both PCCs ready, I would like to request you to kindly extend our expiry date of our USCIS approval Notice.

their response: "We understand that you have a query regarding the DS-160."

I resubmitted the issue, pasted all this and said "no, we don't"

when information in query is sufficient (I don't usually make them, she did) ~70% of the time, the answer is off topic. this includes THEM NOT RESPONDING to me when I said, "no, you didn't answer our question at all" (<-not exactly) and pasted her post and their reply.
