WOW!!!! I got an email and text last night and states I got APPROVED!!!

had to read it like six times.... I've been waiting about a year for this to be approve.

and the day finally came!!! now how do I check if and when NVC will get it

and what other fees I have to pay??? my wife is from vietnam......

Congrats

I hope my NOA 2 come soon, i try just not to think about it every time again and yet again , i go check my update on uscis every two hours

me too

September was the end of the fiscal year, hopefully all of ours will speed up now.

what is fiscal year? and how that affects our applications? sorry...

I can barely see approvals from USCIS these days... what's happening to our noa2??? They seem to be turtle-y these days... So sad that our happiness is at stake =( soooo depressing

Looking forward for a good news to come =) NOA2... Can't wait to welcome you wholeheartedly

No approvals yet? CSC is super good in delaying our happiness =(

Include me in your prayers... And I'll do the same... GOD bless us all

Dang, our NOA1 is 06/08/11...still nothing but let down hope & shattered expectation everyday since our 90-day mark.lol We're sick & tired of seeing that "INITIAL REVIEW" on the USCIS site! hahahaha

Haizzz I wonder when that round indication at my case status on the uscis site will move!!!

Your situation is kinda complicated because it involves 2 different laws from 2 different countries... I'm no expert when it comes to law but I guess your case boils down to the death of the spouse... I believe that the death of the spouse means termination of marriage. I guess you just need to get an advice from NSO just bring whatever documents you got like marriage contract, the divorce paper (if you got one) although it's not valid in PI it's somehow important if you have a possession of it... And the most important thing the death cert. Don't worry I don't think this would cause too much burden on you... As long as you can prove everything right, I'm sure everything will all be good... God bless and good luck on your life's journey I hope you can also find your life's perfect companion in God's perfect time

Any good news my fellow July filers? It seems all is quiet in the Western front. But don't worry guys, October is fast approaching! Its the month that's what we've all been waiting for! Hope to hear a lot of approvals from USCIS next month. Godspeed to us all!

I'm still trying to be optimistic and hopeful... I know October will be our month... Let's all be positive about it... Godspeed everyone <3

System is down. it is happening to everyone.

oh thanks I thought there's something wrong with my case alone... Thanks for the info

I tried to checked my status at USCIS website and after logging in this what it says:

Case Status Retrieval Failed

To view the status of a case, please enter the corresponding application receipt number. The 13-character application receipt number can be found on application notices you have received from the USCIS. It begins with three letters such as (EAC, WAC, LIN, or SRC). Dashes ("-") should be omitted when entering a receipt number. However, all other characters, including asterisks ("*"), can be included if listed on your notice as part of the receipt number.

Listed above are the possible steps an application or petition may go through during processing. Not every application or petition will spend time in each of these steps. Once you enter your receipt number you will see the steps that will always be required for that particular application or petition. The step in the process where your case is currently located will be highlighted. Other steps will appear if your case requires that particular step.

Help I don't know what is it

awww sad to hear that

any luck for July filers? hope to hear approvals for us the soonest God bless!!!

I sent it as soon as I got my Case number and IIN and provided them with our email addresses. Also check if you are able to login to the payment portal and pay the AOS fee (use petitoner, Case number and IIN to login) https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

I guess the NVC has a new way of processing the papers... You cannot send them the choice of agent without paying the fee first. I'm not certain though... I hope some members can shed some light for this issue...

thanks for the replies guys much appreciated =)

I heard that a license issued from a foreign country like the Philippines is valid to use by an immigrant or tourist in the US for a certain period of time... Is this true? Any idea? thanks =)

What happened to CSC... I noticed a lot of fast approvals coming from VSC... Does the wheel has just turned?

check out the immigration timeline stats. There are a bunch of June filers with approvals. Our NOA1 was June 15th and NOA2 approval was July 31st. This was through VSC. I'm sure it'll be coming soon for you

whoaaa... VSC is on the go now... but I'm CSC which I guess gets a bit slower Good luck on your journey M n J

awww... I'm sorry to hear that I'm a July filer, so that means Im still too far from the finish line =(

Is there any June 2011 USCIS filer approval yet? =)

Oh hello September... What's up July filers any good news around?

April 2012 is way too far sis. I'd still want to hope that our earliest possible interview will be January or Feb next year. hehe Im positive about it! Anyhow, just get ready with the current paystubs of your husband and the most current ITR. Goodluck!

I know sis... I hope it wont take forever for our case to be adjudicated whether in USCIS or NVC sis ber months na and I'm claiming a positive results for all of us

Yes and you will have to use blank ink pen only to fill the documents (can use blue or black in pen to sign). The I-864 needs to be fill in all capitals but not the DS-230. It is good that you are trying to gather information well in advance but I suggest that you read the instructions, as those may change by the time you get to NVC process.

Thanks I'm really trying to help my husband gathering infos. for he can't do it right now because he's working overseas as a seaman... thanks for always helping out navyK it really means a lot... God bless...
