Hello, I have applied I-130 for my wife and it got approved and now I just got the invoice for fee (AOS and IV bill) and the case number from NVC. I have paid the fees today. what is the next step in the process. Is it just to wait for a response from the NVC to send the documents or you just the documents anyways?...my lawyer is saying to wait until nvc gets back, but some forums says opposite!!plzz help

I had applied for i-130 for my wife and it got approved more than a month back. Now when I called NVC they told me that they have received my petition and created a case number. But I have not received the fee bill for AOS or 3032 form. Can I just email them the 3032 with the case number or should I call them up to ask for the fee bill.. how does the process work.

I have prepared all AOS and DS-230 ready to submit once they start asking for it. I am just wondering what is electronic processing means. Do i have to go for DS260 or DS230. i am confused. please help

I called USCIS and people are telling different stories each time. some says they process the cases as they received doesnt matter even if I upgrade or not...if upgraded it will be faster...

one other person told since upgraded you will put to the back of the queue....

I dont know which one I should beleive. I called USCIS again adn they put a service request saying that my case is out of processing time and they said I will get an update in 15 days... I am worried a lot now...

you getting your citizenship is the best thing that can happen to your wife' petition. as an LPR she probably wnt be getting her visa in another two years or more but now, rest assured that before the year runs out the process will be over unless there is another cause for delay. your peition will still have the first PD. Give them some days to recocncile ur file and then follow up...from then you can sail on.

Are you sure a new date will be established???...then what is the point of upgrading the petition. I could have filed after I became a citizen rt, if a new date gets established!!!...

I believe once filed F2A then notified of LPR change to a USC the F2A status immediately changes and a new date is established.

Hello,

I was a LPR when I filed I-130 for my wife. The receipt date is july 12th 2011. I became a citizen on feb 6th 2012. I have called USCIS and upgraded my petition from F2A category to IR and they sent me an acknoledgement on 12th feb 2012. Right now I am worried since the processing date for USC wife is augest 2nd as of today and mine is not approved yet. The processing date for F2A is june 1st and it was only 1month and 12 days away from approval. now I am worried once I upgrade my petition, will USCIS consider it as a new application and process it based on feb 12th for IR when i updated my application...I am worried coz i will lossing many months by just upgrading the petition...Any one have idea how they will process the case if i upgrade, will I loose the months again, that I waited already?...very tensed..plzzzz help...god bless

I know that it will take a while for F2A, but I will be a citizen in few months. I have already received my oath letter for naturalization. then when i upgrade her petition it will be IR and processing will get started as soon as i upgrade. so that is why i am concerned that once i get my petition approved from uscis and it is at nvc i can just upgrade her application easily after i took my oath

Good eye Ryan...I didn't notice that when he posted.

thank you all...is it good or bad to contact a us representative involved to contact uscis..i never done something like this before???

Hi ALL,

I have applied i-130 for my wife and my priority date is july 12th. I have not received my decision from uscis yet...its almost 5 month..should i contact uscis for this and how should i contact!!..plzz helpp

Thanks
