It is getting close to 8 months now since the NOA1 and I just don't know what to do. I am not in the states, so I can't easily contact with the CSC by phone and I hate being helpless in this situation.

Why dont you call using Skype or open an USA Google Voice account and call them that was what i did during my process

f129a??? Are you sure about this???? it is i129a the form you should send if this is the problem

Well for my experience i spent 2 years in Guatemala as a "tourist" and when i sent my documents to NVC they sent me a RFE stating that i needed a Police Certificate from Guatemala, what i did was that i wrote a letter saying that i was not able by any chance to get this certificate and i explain them why, they accepted my letter and at the interview they did not question me about this neither

Actually this works in any browser the issue here is that when you select Vermont Service Center and click change, the select menu will change to CSC but if you look at the percentage you will see different percentage numbers based on the service center you choose

In short words this means the waiting game has just started so be prepare to wait for the next 4-7 months waiting for the next step that will be approval of your petition or in rare cases denial of it

It looks like they are waiting for you to make the payment of the Fee if you have not done it before

From my experience you wont be able to start the process without getting a legal resident status for her in guatemala i tried to do it that way two times over there and they did not even allow us to start the process without that

I got a strange email from the NVC on Monday which caused a bit of a panic. The email explains that the NVC are reviewing my application and documents and attached a checklist for missing documents. Here is an extract:

______1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1:_______________________

The National Visa Center is waiting for an Immigrant Visa Application to be submitted for this case.

My question is: How can the NVC be reviewing my application if they say it was missing? There wouldn't have been an application to review!

I since found out that this is an auto generated email and that I should ignore it. I also found out that it is known as false checklist, however, I lost one day sleep over it and wondered why they sent it in the first place.

Well not all the time if a false checklist and i will tell you why, when i was in this step i also got a checklist email same as you i thought it was a false checklist and did not pay attention to it but guess what a few days later i called and they told me i was missing a police certificate, what i trying to explain here is that make sure that this is really a false checklist by calling NVC it can be a document that you are missing and they can tell you for sure by the phone hope this helps you

i just got mine and my DS-3032 was accepted 2 days ago, hope this can help you

I just paid mine and it took 1 and half day to change from IN PROCESS to PAID hope this can help u

Ok friends i just called NVC and waited like 25 minutes on the line but they told me that they received my case but to call within 10 to 20 days for more information is this correct?????

Thank you all of you for your congratulations and i want to know for approved petitions how long do you take to start calling NVC????

You said you made one phone call to the USCIS. At what point in the months you were waiting did you place a call to them? And if you don't mind me asking...what did you say to them?

Well when we hit the 5 months mark on may 28 we called the day after to uscis and we choose the change of address option because thats the only way you can talk to a live person, the Phone representative asked us a few questions about our case and then she filed a request on the system saying that our case was out of normal processing then on may 31 they sent my wife(usc) an email saying that they have received the request about our case and that they will have a decision within the next 60 days but that same day at 8 pm they sent me the email about my approved petition that was all

Thanks everybody for your congrats

Well i dont write to much in the forum but i want to help others in this journey me and my wife got the NOA1 back in dec. 28 and five months later and 1 phone call to USCIS we got our NOA2

Now to wait for NVC hopefully it will be fast if anything i can help just ask thanks everybody

I am in the same track, my NOA1 was Dec 28th in VSC and still nothing but what makes me a little worry is that i have not seen anyone on CR1/IR1 visa getting any notice from VSC in like about a month
