So is it normal to get assigned an alien number when filing an i129f. I after I filed an i130 for my husband I also filed an i129f for my husband and a little while after i submitted the i129f i got an email saying my alien number has changed or something along those lines. I am a u.s. citizen so i assuming the alien number is for my husband?

Honestly I don't know. I haven't heard of people getting an alien card without coming to the US

Does anyone know what is an alien number

An alien number is the number they give you when your a legal permanent resident aka LPR. So when you enter the US you'll have the visa stamp in your passport with that on it which is called the registration number and you'll get a green card with that number on it.

For the green card, at the airport they say 3-6 months to receive a green card, but the visa stamp in the passport can be used as a green card until the actual green card is mailed and is valid for one year

Other than that we are already in America we've been here for like 2 and a half weeks

Is there anything we have to do after the immigrant comes in? Like is there any paper work still left to do when they come to the US, I don't want to sit here and we have paper work to be done. I hope what I wrote was understandable lol

I don't like Lufthansa lol we used to go on that one but its awful, we r leaving tomorrow morning inshallah with the emirates flight

thanks antiseir lets just see if he gets it on the5th inshallah. did they update ur case again

Congrats on the visa pick up date!!!! And inshallah and I'm pretty sure he will get it that day you two leave together

What's the 165 for? Do you have to payit before you travel to USA? Or can u wait ?

Hey Sami can u update your timeline? So we can see your visa journey

When my husband got his visa they told him to pay the 165 BEFORE he leaves to the us. They also say it on the website, so pay it before your wife/husband travel to the us

Oh and the 165 is for the green card

blissful did u leave with ur husband yet

No, he had booked for Sunday, that's when I was leaving alone but alhamdillah when he got his visa on wednesday he booked for this thursday

Does this mean my case is complete with the NVC? How long is the average until my wife gets a interview.

The National Visa Center has received all documentation necessary to complete pre-processing

of your case. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner

and attorney (if applicable) will be notified.

Yes your case is complete. As I read on here 5-6 months no more than 9

It took them about a week and a half to call my husband after it said issued. From the 12th to the 20nth

Check your case status my visa journey

On the visa it says it was issued on the 12th which was the first time they updated it to issued, then an update on the 15nth, 20th and when he went to pick it up on the 22nd

I leaving inshallah in a week, my husband had already booked me a ticket a week ago so he might just book with me or reschedule ours with his

i have a question for blissful beauty did they call ur husband to his cell ? nd did u guys give them ur home number as well and is it working ir is it disconnected if you did? cuz outs is dissconnected so im wondering if they call nd they see its disconnected will they wonder why we dont pay it ?

Our house number doesn't ring most of the time so we just gave them his cell number. Alhamdulilah he got his visa today thank god they didnt ask him anything or look for anything, they had ALL our papers and his passport. The appointment was for 10 am and he called me 11:45 am and inshallah everyone else gets it, they seem to be moving a lot faster now.

Inshallah, when he first comes out I told him to call me right away. It looks like they're starting to be on schedule with everything, so inshallah everyone gets they're visa on time

Today at 10 am so inshallah khair

My visa journey they updated my husbands three times and the last time which was on the 20nth they called my husband from the embassy and told him to go with his ID. My case status says issued so inshallah today is the day. I haven't been waiting long like most on here but waiting was getting annoying inshallah ya rab everyone that's been waiting gets good news in 2014.

What time does the embassy usually call? Like mornings or afternoons

Omg I checked again and they put us back to AP today

Never mind never mind i thought it was 2013 lol my bad

Inshallah we do

OK I went to make sure and it says ready and updated date is January 9, 2014, that's not good lol or an error?

OK I checked my case status and before it used to say ap and updated on January 4th and now it says ready and an update January 9th, which is today, is that good? I really really hope so

That's lame of them, they could have waited for the visa pick up and gave them to him

Aaawww u shouldnt have said anything until you got it and said what it is
