I am worried either.. Me and my friends will have our interview next week.. Hopefully we will not get affected.. We have waited for so long, I would be very dissapointed if it'll get cancelled due to rain.. Gosh the rain ruined everything!!!

When is your interview? Mine is on Monday, August 13.

Don't wait for NVC to contact you. It would only delay things. Call them and ask if they have received your file from USCIS, and if a case number and an invoice identification number has been assigned already. When you call them, be prepared with your USCIS case number - that will be the one they'll use to look up your file.

Thank you for your reply.

Well I think I should let my husband call them tomorrow just so we can have an idea about the actual status of our case in NVC.

Thanks for the advice.

We didnt call not even once!My opinion is ,calling them is not gonna change the time you're gonna wait....you'll hear something soon..we heard from them after a month and three days after we received our NOA2...i am noticing even people who have called,got their case numbers for the same amount of time.You should send them an e-mail inquiry ...dont worry!You'll hear from them soon!!

Thanks for your reply...it made me relax a little. It's just frustrating to see everyone's timeline moving and I'm still stuck in the NOA2 stage :(

Do you have your CASE NUMBER & Invoice Identification Number???

Thank you so much for your reply.

I really appreciate it!

Basically all I have is the NOA2 that was mailed to my husband received via mail last April 15. It's been a month and I still have not gotten any packet from NVC. I'm getting worried!

Thanks! I sent them an e-mail inquiry yesterday, and I was honestly expecting to receive some sort of standard "wait 15-30 more days" reply. But an approval e-mail it was! =)

Hi!

I need help! I haven't received any packet from NVC. Did you call them? I don't know where to start in order to submit the DS2023! It's driving me crazy!

Thansk!

God bless.

I called NVC again today. They said they received it on April 16th, but no assigned number yet...

Like every step of this process, it's hurry up and wait!

Hi Fatima!

After getting the I-797 NOA2 via mail, what is the next step? I have no clue!

Please help!

Congrats to all the recent approvals! I hope we all get our NVC case numbers soon..=)

Congratulations! I think we'll see each other during the Medical!

we got approved on march 30th...but we still havent got any texts or e-mail notifications....

that doesnt mean anything,right?

Try to register in USCIS again, and go to the part where you register your mobile phone or email to get an e-notification. This happened to my husband too...he said he didn't get any email so I asked him to go to the e-notification in USCIS website and register his email. Then after a few seconds, he got his email notifying him that our petition was approved.

Hi.....

I filled I-130 for my spouse @ VSC as LPR on OCTOBER 17, 2011 and then upgrade the case to Citizen (UC) on December 9, 2011. Waiting for NOA2. I was able to fill Service inquiry @ VSC yesterday which tells me that my case was upgraded successfully.

Wondering people already got NOA2 who filled I-130 on October 2011 or still on a same boat as me.......@ WAITING GAME....... .....NOA2 Should be around the corner though...

thanks.....

Hi! I filed my NOA1 last October 17, 2011 and when we checked USCIS this morning and saw this:

"On April 11, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283"

I guess they are approving everyone in OCTOBER!!! YAYYYY!

Wow...you got your NOA2 in just a month! Congratulations!

I sent ours on October 14th. Excited to get the process started!

Hi! I just want to ask if you guys got married in the Philippines or in the US. My husband and I got married in California but we haven't reported our marriage here in the Philippines. Is it ok that I used my married name in the I-130 even if all my ID and passport are under my maiden name?

Hi! We sent ours on October 12, we got our NOA1 last October 17 This is giving me anxiety!

*** Update: Received NOA2 message 25 Oct 11!

You got your NOA2 already? That was quick!

i went to manila for my nbi i went to main 6am i finished 11am.nbi office here in our province said that my name was hit thats why its taking so long aside from 1 month of waiting. so i ask my fiance if he could send me to manila to get it then i will just have my advance medical. so its dual purpose. and thats what i did. after getting my nbi i sent my iv packet right away. then went for my medical at st. lukes, btw its just a walk from the main office of the nbi.

HI! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE RESULTS OF THE MEDICAL?
