Guys FINALLY

my interview schedualed to 15 of JUL

Inshalah u all got yours soon

Hey Congrats! Did you a notice about your interview by email or by phone?

Hi, interview went well. They gave me a white slip stating to come back in two weeks but they said that not to be surprised if the visa is not issued in two weeks. They took the passport and told me to come back.

Congrats!!

Was this visa interview for your wife or husband?

Update for those who don't know:

"Brooklyn Man's" wife was approved.

He posted it on his page here:

Hello guys we just got back from sanaa and i have both good and bad news. good news is that our case seems to be complete and nothing more is needed the interviewing officer didnt say anything about our co sponsers he was quite convinced but the bad new is that our case was put on adminstrative process ..when i asked y he said it just is but dont worry it wont take long the most is 3 months and we will call ur husband in for another interview ..do u guys think this is good or bad. well to me it seems ok becasue he said ur case seems to be perfect nothing is missing or wrong.. but i think they want to do more of a background check i guess ..

Hi what type of paper work did they ask from you to see? did they ask for photos?

After the interview did they give you a pink slip or what?

Thanks for keep us updated!

I don't think so,

she was asked to pay 165 for the green card fees

and They told her to pay it online in the uscis website after she receive the visa,

Did they require a fee to enter the embassy as well? Did the require to pay them in USD$ or YR?

Please details any info will help.

Thanks & Congrats!

My husband didn't get the visa al7madllah ya rab

Inshallah next time

They said that everything is ok but we need co-sponsor I don't get it why my sponsor is very strong he has millions in the bank

Did they give you another interview date? what questions where asked to him exactly during the interview?

For the Affidavit of Residence papers did they ask for that during the interview?

\my husband has an interview for next week and the case was complete augest28th its been 8 months and we recieved our p4interview package april1 and it didnt come to the p.o box so we are going to print out the one sent to our email.

Just curious guys - have any of you tried emailing the embassy directly to get a sense of where they are at? If so, did they tell you anything useful? I emailed their Non-IV address a few months ago and got a personal response but it wasn't related to interview scheduling. Wishing you all strength to keep going and Inshallah you'll all get your interviews soon. I just got back from Sana'a yesterday and all was calm. In an entire year I only saw my fiance 4 weeks still got a long way to go...

I did email them this is their reply:

" Your case is still located at the National Visa Center (NVC). Although the NVC has finished processing your petition, the case will remain with the NVC until there is an available appointment at the Embassy. Once an appointment is available, the case will be transferred to the embassy & our office will contact the applicant to schedule an appointment. Until your case is transferred to to the embassy, please direct any inquiries to the NVC."

Also I heard that the embassy is STILL working on cases that where approved in July and August 2011.....

Hi everyone im new in this website Here is my situation

I am US citizen but originally from Yemen. I applied the I130 form for my husband on October of 2011 now it's 9/2/2012

and I haven't got any responses its official im going crazy i have been praying to see my husband its really painful to be away from loved ones

I Don't Know What to Do Please Help

Are you keeping yourself updated? have called the customer service or anyone else for help?

If you done all of the above for help & you keep on getting the same "pending" answer like me

..all I can tell you is wait...

oo....we did the same. with no RFE.

but my wife will bring all those info to her interview.

It probably might be of me forgetting to send a copy of all the passport stamps.

Wow...that seems strange.

The only thing I sent was my marriage certificate

They did not ask me for any further evidence.

Thats so unfair!

Hello everyone,

I just got an RFE last week.

Its 4 paged RFE for proof of bona fide marital relationship.

Do I have to send everything listed on the RFE or just I what can??

I'm soo nervous because it's a 4 pged RFE & that I might not have enough evidence

Is this type RFE common?

They said they have received my marriage certificate. However in order to establish the marriage is bona fide, I must submit secondary evidence.

I have not sent in anything yet but here's what I have so far as proof:

>copy my marriage certificate ( again )

>my passport/passport stamps(copied all pges in book in color to prove)

>passport style photos of both of us (again)

> 6 photos of us together ( wedding, honeymoon,& other randoms)

>yahoo chats ( from before marriage till now)

>facebook

>online Phone call cards log

>Copies of my spouses school diplomas.

>copies of money transfer receipts

Is this enough?

Also are affidavits of marriage relationship required to send?? Or is what I'm sending as evidence enough information to prove our marriage?

As for all the evidence I will be sending will they returned back to me after NOA2 approval or after interview?

Sorry lots of questions but please any info will help!

Thanks

Bless you all!

I just got an RFE last week.

dont think you have it bad....I'm 17+months & counting ....

Over a year! wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm going nuts after approaching 8 months. Have you gotten your congressman and/or senator involved?

I have contacted all of the above for help:(

And filed many service requests & STILL PENDING under background checks!

I miss my spouse soo much! Its just not fair!

Hi everyone, been lurking around the forum for months but first post.

Getting frustrated, filed I-130 on Nov. 7, 2011, and still no NOA2 yet, got my NOA1 within few days that case was sent to CSC.. Still says case under review when I check status on USCIS website.

I called USCIS in mid April after my 5.5 months of wait, and they issued a Service Request based on my behalf, and was told to wait 45 days and that my case is being adjudicated. 45 days have come and gone, and nothing. Called again and they state all we can do is issue another service request. Getting really frustrated.

I've now contacted my local congress woman and one of my senators. Also scheduled an Info Pass for next week. Anyone else out there from November still waiting?

I don't get it, I'm a U.S. Citizen, no criminal record of any sort, neither does my wife, she's never been to the U.S. She's a doctor back home also no suspicious activities or anything. It seems everyone from November has had NOA2 approved and some ending stages of NVC process.

I'm stuck on background checks & have contacted everyone for help & STILL the same answer PENDING! I have been waiting for over a YEAR & STILL no NOA2 appoval... & you thought you had it bad....

So on March of 2012 I go this answer from my service request:

"The required background checks for the subject case remain pending. We will render a decision as soon as the background checks are complete. If you do not receive a decision within 120 days of this inquiry."

My senator contacted them in Feb. 2012 & they said the same thing but to wait 180 days! from 180 days now 120 days! what is this?

Has anyone ever gotten this letter? good sign did you get an approval before or after the time limit they gave you?

Does this mean I'll get my approval soon?

If so estimate when?

Is my case on AP?

Its been 1 year for me & STILL no approval!

ahh this wait is soo suffering!

But I will not give up!

it always the same answer pending/under background checks

I have had no RFE's so far by the way.

Please any info/advice from you will help!

Pray for me:(

Bless you all

Thanks

I am getting everything ready for my husband's I -130, and I would like to know how to pay for it? I know the fee is $420. But can I use an American bank overseas? Or must it be from an American bank in USA?

Thanks for any info!

Jenny

Yes, you can use the American Bank overseas.

Goood luck on your visa journey

My husband lives in Yemen and if you guys have heard, it's not really in the best condition.

He lives in a terrible area and I worry everyday something is gonna happen to him. My PD is august and I'm so tired of waiting.

How do I go about asking for a service request?

ok here is how it goes when you want to talk to the customer service line here are the directions:

Here are the step to file a service request:

1.)Dial the uscis customer service number

2.)To continue in English press 1

3.)To check the status of an application press 2

4.)If you know your receipt number press 1

5.)If your receipt number starts with SRC press 1

6.)The receipt number you entered... if this is correct press 1

Information you heard is most up to date...

7.)report a problem with your case press 3

& you will be connected! make sure you have your case/file number ready.

You have reached the technical service center..

Good luck!

Filed I130 for my husband in August of last year.

How fast does the NVC process after I get NOA?

How fast does the embassy in Yemen appoint an interview?

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Your in for a looong wait for the NOA2. :/

Once you get the NOA2 everything will go fast!

WOW really sorry to hear that you are stil at the USC stage! Did you have RFE's?

Really hope you hear something soon!

No, no RFE's every time I would call they would say your case is pending under background check:(

They send me a letter lease week after my service request saying:

"Your case is still pending.This notice acknowledges receipt of your status inquiry concerning an I-130 petition. We recognize your interest in a final adjudication on your pending petition and are aware of the difficulties caused by any delay in processing. The California Service Center is committed to processing this workload, and will be making every effort to adjudicate your case in an expeditious fashion as soon as available under our resource constraints."

please any advice will help!

Pray for me
