ok, so we still have 1 year grace period to accomplish it... Thanks for the infos... God bless...

My hubby works in a ship and most of the time he's not in the US... What if USCIS approved our I-130 and my husband's away can we delay the submission of requirements to NVC by a month or two? Would that be a problem? thanks

What if we receive NOA2 and my husband is here with me in the Philippines can we do the NVC requirements here in Manila or does he need to come back to the US to process it? Need some advice thank you... =)

nope, they don't need anything from you yet... What you got is the NOA1 congratulations... the waiting starts now =)

what is your rfe if you don't mind?

days... weeks..months.... (not a bracketed time frame). it is when the file is reviewed and the case file lacks the required documents that a RFE is kicked out

Thanks... I hope I don't get RFE at all =)

If ever the USCIS needs some RFE from your I-130 how long will it takes for you to be notified after the NOA1? Please share some advice thanks...

Finally got our NOA1 today!!! yay thank you LORD... I hope everything will work out fine for us all... GOD is good =)

Yep. That's NOA1.

The waiting game begins now...

Good Luck!

wow... finally, but is I-797 different from I-797c? Coz we only got I-797

My husband received Form I-797 thru text and email is this the NOA1? They gave me receipt number and told us they have routed our application to CA service center.

Please shed some light... Thanks...

No, my husband mailed it on June 29th then we got the NOA-1 on July 6 but the actual receipt date on the I-797 form is July 5. Thats exactly 3 working days from the mailing date. Dont worry Pars, you will get yours too soon. We mailed ours 1 day ahead of you. Hopefully you will have your NOA-1 today or tomorrow.

ah ok sorry sis naduling ako hehehe... grabe ako ata nakalimutan na ng uscis =(

My husband just failed to forward to me the other email. Now I have 2 different receipt numbers. Thanks a bunch fellow VJ's!

Sis your timeline's quite fast you mailed it on the 6th and you got your noa1 the next day =) LUCKY YOU... I wish mine's that fast too... goodluck =)

did u include the G-1145 form or no ? (It's ok if you didn't)

yes we sent G-1145 but another prob is that my husband sent our i-130 into a wrong lockbox instead of sending it to the address for regular mail, he sent it the other way around... we haven't received any notice yet. We filed it june 30 =(

I think my husband sent our I-130 at the wrong lockbox =( haven't heard anything from USCIS yet hubby sent it 6-30 what will happen to my application please help will they deny it? =(

Can you give me some advice regarding my question above haven't heard anything from USCIS I sent it 06-30 and unfortunately sent it to wrong lockbox :c what will happen to my application please help...

I got a text notification today!! I got my NOA1

Lucky you... I'm still inside the waiting world =( sent it 06-30... But still hopeful, I'm sure everything will work out fine I'm claiming it God is good =) good luck to us all =)

VSC has historically been slower than the rest of them.

I would like to think that might be more expedited requests due to the Japan's situation and also a lot of applications from Haiti requesting extended stay or adjustment of status. It is true that the fees keep going up but than again keep in mind that so does the deficit

I will pay whatever they want us to pay as long as they bring my spouse here quickly

Some people say that this long proccess is a test and worth the wait. I say it might be worth the wait but it is definitly not a test to how strong the union could be.I have collected all documents and i am ready to go as soon as i get that e-mail/text. 2 months is not a long time by most standarts but it feels like a life time.

hi I know Its kinda sptupid, but how would you know if csc already received your package? thanks

Why what happened in your I-130?

ahmm it was a long story but basically, it was like filling up a wrong question in my I-130... anyway did u receive your noa1 yet? I don't know if they will return the whole package to us because of the mistake. well I just hope they wont wait for 2-3 months before sending us RFE =(

Really? Does that also apply even if my USC husband just got naturalized last June 27, 2011? When I gave birth to our son my husband wasnt a USC yet.

ah ok I guess that's a different story... May facebook ka? can I add you so we can talk about our applications =)

Hi VJ Members,

Any July 2011 IR-1/CR-1 filers out there? Please post any updates from you.

My husband actually filed our I-130 for me and our son last June 29. But I considered myself as a July filer since it was almost July when our I-130 was filed.

Hopefully our entire visa journey will all be smooth sailing and fast!

I'm just curious coz as far as i know if you're in manila and you and your USC husband has a child you don't need to petition them anymore instead you can file a crba for your baby here in USEM manila... So they can get a US passport.

yup...

I guess i'm in for July too... But I got some mistakes in my i-130 please pray for me... Anyone got their noa1 here? good luck to us all...

You shouldn't. If they return the form, they'll return your entire package including your payment. Then you (or your husband) can correct the form, then send it back in.

thanks for the enlightenment... I've been depressed these past few days because o this... thanks for helping out...

They may send you a NOAD which basically rejects the form i-130 and you would have to fill out and send corrected. At least this is what i was told when I called the service # with a similar issue.

I am sure someone with more experience with this will add to my answer.

Good luck

thanks but do we need to pay another $420 for this?

My husband accidentally filled up the letter F part of the I-130 application... =( will they deny our i-130 for this mistake? im so depressed with all these fuss. I need advice please thanks...
