From my experience.
I got an email from NVC after emailing NVCinquiry@state.gov
Weirdly, I got 2 emails that day back, one is stating the case is completed, the 2nd was the interview date in malaysia.
-
EDIT: Actually I re-read my visa description and I am a "sponsored resident" of Indonesia, so I guess my address here would be better. Thanks for the help, again.
I would stronly advise that you use your indonesian address as it will be processed quickly through USCIS. From what I'm reading, when you file the petition and all correspondent address is abroad, the file is completed within 2 weeks, versus the excruciating wait of 5 months if you used an American address.
Good luck!

Not a removal of conditions question.
Moving from ROC to spousal visa forums.
What you need with you for the entire process from the petitioner standpoint.
- Proof of your residence or citizenship
- Your Drivers license, or ID
- The Marriage certificate
- Photo of the beneficiary (spouse) - passport size
- Biographic page of their passport
- Birth certificate (spouse)
- Police clearance for spouse - this Takes anywhere between 1-5 months depending what country the spouse is from
eg. Malaysia takes 6 weeks.
- DS230 part 1 and 2 completed and signed by spouse
- DS3230 - completed and signed
- tax returns with w-2 recent year only. If you are petitioning for 2012, your returns for 2011 will be the most recent, regardless of which month it is.
- If you haven't filed taxes yet, returns for 2010 and the last paystub for the 2011 showing the total gross must be sent with all the other supporting finance including all 2012 paystubs or JUST GO FILE YOUR TAXES!
USCIS, requires a lot of documentations of you and the person you are filling for, if you have all of the things i listed above- you are in good shape. Only send COPIES to USCIS.
As soon as you submit all the forms and fees for the initial I-130 form - do the following.
1. Get the person you're filling for apply for a police clearance immediately. No country has this "certificate of good conduct" available immediately. This is a letter of any criminal history from the country your spouse is residing. It takes 1 - 5 months to be completed - Important scale 10. Have it mailed to you and keep this.
Get the ds-230 from state.gov filled and signed by the person you are sponsoring and have them sign it but do not date it yet and mail it to you. You keep this until further notice
When your case is 100% completed in USCIS (5-6 months), you will receive a notice a.k.a (NOA-2)saying your case is now with NVC and they will soon contact you.
The NVC (2 months)
Wait for about 5 business days, and call NVC (the number is in the letter) and read them your USCIS case number and see if the NVC has assigned a case number for it. The Case number from NVC will start with a City code and the year (for eg; Kuala lumpur, Malaysia in 2012 will be KLL2012*******) Get this number for your case. IMPORTANT!
What do you do after you get the case number? Assign agent immediately
Go here: http://www.visajourn...il_DS-3032_form
Copy paste with your details and send it.
Wait few days, and you will get a response and via email and there will be .pdf file attachments that will have the AOS (affidavit of support requirement) - pay that and send it in
Wait a day or so - the status should change to PAID - Fill the affidavit of support form and submit the documents supporting your claim in that form (w-2, pay stubs etc)
This will take between 2-20 business days. Just your luck.
Now you will receive another email asking for you to pay and submit the ds230 part 1
Now, go ahead and pay the fee, print the cover letter from there.
Now get the ds230 with the following all originals or certified copies.
- The Marriage certificate
- Photo of the beneficiary (spouse) - passport size
- Biographic page of their passport
- Birth certificate (spouse)
- Police clearance for spouse - this Takes anywhere between 1-5 months depending what country the spouse is from
eg. Malaysia takes 6 weeks.
- DS230 part 1 completed and signed and dated!
- DS3230 part 2- completed but no signatures or date.
Now once they receive, it will take another 2-20 business days for the documents to be reviewed. Just your luck.
Once everything is reviewed, you will receive another email either asking for more documentations or stating they have finished the case and will appoint an interview date. Another email will show up few days later with the final email from NVC giving you the appointment date for the embassy.

He was granted UK citizenship without the birth certificate. He uses his certificate of naturalization for all purposes.
There shouldn't be an issue if a birth certificate can't be found or is not available. However, You must have him make sworn affidavit from both of his parents. If those are also not possible, then the closest relative, uncle, aunt or if not, then a family friend that is older than he is.
Other suggestion such as going to kosovo embassy is also good.

Be aware that this is not even close to the daily results as the
DHL website only display 10 from my general inquiry.
Go to the website and enter your destination country.
As you can see above, there was nothing for Malaysia.
However there was one package sent on the 4th that was received on the 7th in Malaysia.

You never have to send the naturalization certificate at any time. The Alien number is the same as your citizenship number. I have gone through the same steps from Uscis upgrading the petition and fwding everything to nvc and i have an interview date next month.
I would however call USCIS and ask for an expidited processing cause u filed last year in march. They will respond as they did with mine and have ur case bumped up in the line for faster processing.
-
congrats 
and thanks on the update, i truly appreciate it. I still have to mail NVC the police cert and birth cert original, hopefully my case will be complete soon as well.
I thought your interview date will be this month June, but it seems they want to give you a month to get your medicals done.
All the best in your interview, pls post update after. Thanks a lot.
yeah, not sure whay the interview date is scheduled so far away. My wife is doing her medicals today at the lim dispensary in penang. The Dr. said it takes about 30 minutes and 4 days to forward the findings. I'm sure its the same for the dr. office in KL as well.
Ill try to email the KL embassy and ask if they can reschedule it earlier

Here's a list of Packages sent out June 01, 2012 enroute to these locations:
Thumbs up!
this should be a sticky!
Waiting for DHL to head out to Kuala lumpur malaysia in the next few days, keep an eye out.
-
If you live abroad and have a permanent address there use that address. Your petition will be appoved in couple of weeks. If u file using a us address itll take 5-6 months
-
Thank you Mudasirk. Does this mean I got a RFE? What's the full meaning of a RFE?
no, thas not an RFE. More like your application is complete but with the wrong documentation.
RFE is request for evidence.

Hello Everyone,
I called the NVC today and I was told a checklist will be sent. Is it by mail or email?
I was told the original birth certificate is needed - not a notarized copy.
and Question 30 on the IV form needs to be changed. I already mailed a new one - next day i mailed the 1st one. Why are they asking for it again? Is it that they didn't get or open the 2nd mail I sent?
Should I wait for the checklist before mailing new documents requested?
please help
The checklist is through email and is an attachment much like the first checklist you got that asked for.
____1- IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1
You should be able to use the same barcoded cover letter for the mail as both will have the same address as below when you do get it.
ATTN: DR
31 Rochester Avenue, suite 100
portsmouth, nh 03801-2914
you should be good if you send it in now without waiting for the email as long as you did get the correct information from the operator as to what is missing from your case, just make sure each paper has your nvc number penciled on the top left.

Hi
My case at NVC has been completed for a year now . I was waiting for my priority date to be current. Now I have become a US citizen I emailed NVC to upgrade my case from F2a to IR1. It has been almost a month and they haven't changed my status yet. I was wondering how long does it normally take for NVC to upgrade a status and subsequently schedule my hubby's interview ?
Thank you
Call USCIS and upgrade the petition and they will send you a brief email about what was done for your case. Also, Ask them to expedite it based on this upgrade and your case will be complete in 60 days.
-
Fantastic summary of the processing... am waiting for NVC to review my AOS and IV - DS-230 Packages as at now. Seems you got the KLL......001 Bcos i got the KLL.....002.
All the best in your interview as well, but quick question has your case been completed at NVC? Do you have an interview date yet?
Yes, our case is 001
Not completed yet and no interview dates has been set. I wonder if once the nvc process is completed, we can try emailing the KL embassy and ask for an earlier appointment.
-
Update:
Got an email on monday 5/21 from NVC asking me to submit the police certificate. I called and ask if a copy is ok, they said it is. Expressed mailed that yesterday and was received by them today, Hoping the case will be completed and interview assigned soon.

My guide to this whole i-130 - cr1 process, from a LPR to a Citizen upgrade.
Now, as an advice for anyone reading, and wondering what the vital part of the whole process is, well it is getting the documentation done well ahead of time so you don't run into delays.
A realistic estimation date of file to completion of a case, is about 8-10 months. Any faster than that is just out of sheer luck or other circumstances.
Here are few pointers from me and a very easy to follow guide in SIMPLE english to the process! I will try to keep it very structured like a recipe with basic explanations of the step.
As you will be doing all the legwork up until the process is completed. This is what you will need.
If you are an LPR and filed i-130 while you were an LPR, and then naturalized, You must call USCIS the day you naturalized and upgrade the petition and ask for it to be immediately expedited. The case will be completed in 60 days from that call.
What you need with you for the entire process from the petitioner standpoint.
- Proof of your residence or citizenship
- Your Drivers license, or ID
- The Marriage certificate
- Photo of the beneficiary (spouse) - passport size
- Biographic page of their passport
- Birth certificate (spouse)
- Police clearance for spouse - this Takes anywhere between 1-5 months depending what country the spouse is from
eg. Malaysia takes 6 weeks.
- DS230 part 1 and 2 completed and signed by spouse
- DS3230 - completed and signed
- tax returns with w-2 recent year only. If you are petitioning for 2012, your returns for 2011 will be the most recent, regardless of which month it is.
- If you haven't filed taxes yet, returns for 2010 and the last paystub for the 2011 showing the total gross must be sent with all the other supporting finance including all 2012 paystubs or JUST GO FILE YOUR TAXES!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW THIS WORKS:
Filling I-130 is a 2 step process in the USA before your spouse will get an interview at her home country.
- First step is to establish your eligibility to be a petitioner of an Immigrant of this class.
- Second step is to establish if the person you are petitioning for is Eligible for Immigration and you have the means to sponsor their transition to USA.
Step One: USCIS - takes a minimum of 5 months,(realistically 6 months) BUT CALL USCIS If its over 5 months with no approval or rejection, will get a guaranteed 60 days response.
USCIS, requires a lot of documentations of you and the person you are filling for, if you have all of the things i listed above- you are in good shape. Only send COPIES to USCIS.
As soon as you submit all the forms and fees for the initial I-130 form - do the following.
1. Get the person you're filling for apply for a police clearance immediately. No country has this "certificate of good conduct" available immediately. This is a letter of any criminal history from the country your spouse is residing. It takes 1 - 5 months to be completed - Important scale 10. Have it mailed to you and keep this.
Get the ds-230 from state.gov filled and signed by the person you are sponsoring and have them sign it but do not date it yet and mail it to you. You keep this until further notice
When your case is 100% completed in USCIS (5-6 months), you will receive a notice a.k.a (NOA-2)saying your case is now with NVC and they will soon contact you.
Step 2: The NVC (2 months)
Wait for about 5 business days, and call NVC (the number is in the letter) and read them your USCIS case number and see if the NVC has assigned a case number for it. The Case number from NVC will start with a City code and the year (for eg; Kuala lumpur, Malaysia in 2012 will be KLL2012*******) Get this number for your case. IMPORTANT!
What do you do after you get the case number? Assign agent immediately
Go here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form
Copy paste with your details and send it.
Wait few days, and you will get a response and via email and there will be .pdf file attachments that will have the AOS (affidavit of support requirement) - pay that and send it in
Wait a day or so - the status should change to PAID - Fill the affidavit of support form and submit the documents supporting your claim in that form (w-2, pay stubs etc)
This will take between 2-20 business days. Just your luck.
Now you will receive another email asking for you to pay and submit the ds230 part 1
Now, go ahead and pay the fee, print the cover letter from there.
Now get the ds230 with the following all originals or certified copies.
- The Marriage certificate
- Photo of the beneficiary (spouse) - passport size
- Biographic page of their passport
- Birth certificate (spouse)
- Police clearance for spouse - this Takes anywhere between 1-5 months depending what country the spouse is from
eg. Malaysia takes 6 weeks.
- DS230 part 1 completed and signed and dated!
- DS3230 part 2- completed but no signatures or date.
Now once they receive, it will take another 2-20 business days for the documents to be reviewed. Just your luck.
Once everything is reviewed, you will receive another email either asking for more documentations or stating they have finished the case.

Hello, I am also in same stage as you. This is what i did. yesterday May 15th - i got AOS fee and paid same day, it shows paid today May 16th. also got IV today and its in process. I mailed both my spouse AOS Package and DS-230 Package today (with the receipt that the police cert/cert of good conduct requested in Malaysia)and a little note stating the cert is in process and here is a receipt and I told them once its ready - i will send them a copy and my spouse will provide the original at his interview. also same as his original birth cert. i sent only a notarized copy.
You have to send all document requested and maybe an explanation if you don't have all.
goodluck
Similarly, I received an Email for the checklist from NVC on 5/11 that has a coversheet barcode and another page that has a checklist which was basically just ds230 plus an supporting civil documents.
I mailed the following supporting civil documents; original marriage & birth cert, a copy of the passport biographic page, 2 passport sized photographs, the receipt for the IV payment, the barcoded cover sheet and I typed a reference list of the documents included in the package with a note explaining that the police certificate is in progress.
Now, just 3 days after mailing this out, she received the police certificate and scanned it and emailed it to me. So immediately, I wrote an email to the NVC using the template that list the case number & name/date of birth, with a brief description of the case and purpose of the email, explaining that I just received it.
I called yesterday, and the package sent on the 11th which was received by NVC on the 14th (usps delivery confirmation), has not yet been through their data entry yet and was told this step may take up to 20 business days.

Good evening folks,
This is my first post, so this is going to be a very newbie question.
Brief history -
I'm a US citizen, applied for a I130 for wife - approved in April 5th 2012, I now have a case Number from NVC, & have paid both AOS & IV Fee. I assigned agent through email successfully and sent the AOS with cover sheet and tax documents last week.
Now, I know the next step is to submit the d230 that is signed by my wife. However my question is when?
Do I wait for them to process the application and send me a notification of what is needed to complete the documentations before the case is forwarded to the embassy in Malaysia?
Also, during the I-130 application process, her passport biographic page was sent, her pictures, her certified copy of birth certificate, our certified copy of marriage were all sent. Are all of these documents needed to be resubmitted to NVC along the with the signed d230 part 1 & 2?
Do I have to submit the police report from Malaysia with the d230 as well - those take couple of months to obtain and she just applied for one 2 weeks ago.
Please advice.
Thank you very much.
