just got billed my invoice, today yeah!!

finally got confirmation for my ds-3032 e-mail! I was about to loose it when I saw someone above got a response the same day XD

Now...where is the invoice?..hmmm

It usually takes 10 - 14 days. As in regular days, not business days.

Thanks! I read it took a week...

So one more week wait...

As long as I can get this stuff out before April, im good!

Thank you!

How long has the wait time been for some people who emailed the NVC their choice of agent?

I know I'am being a bit impatient but its already been a week...and no email stating I can pay the IV fees now..hmm

so..we can just submit the 1040&W2 for 2012 in the I-184 package but she still has to file for 2011 so if the NVC does a check on their own, they see it?

#######....okay, *Sighs* here's hoping I can finish this before March

Allright I know this has been asked before, but just wanted to make double sure since I want this to be all about me(alil sarcasm there)

My parents are sponsoring my husband and she doesn't need to show all three years of 1040&W2's right? Just the most recent year should be sufficient and I won't get an RFE, yes?(She didn't file in 2011 due to an issue in pay so its wrong, and thats really going to hold us up in the visa process if we try to fix it right now but her 2012 info to file her tax return is good to go)

Also, since my mother is the one above the poverty guideline and able to sponsor my husband, do I need to submit my 1040+W2 with my I-184 as well?

I was out of the country for 2012,so I don't have a W-2..nor did i file my taxes..yet?I am employed at the moment however but is it absolutely necessary that I get an employment letter from my company? Not like I can support someone with the salary im making

I exp the same thing too this week! But I got through eventually

allright, thank you Saylin! I was looking at your spreadsheet and when I saw someone who got their NOA2 the same time as me but had their case at NVC already, I was worried. *Putting NVC on speed dial

Is it normal for NVC to be alil bit behind in assigning a case number? I started calling since a week after I got my NOA2 and so far its been 19days since then and no Case number.

First time I called they told me to call back in 10 days. Noted and when I called back Last week they said it should be at NVC by this week so to try back again around that time! I call again and this week and they said try back in 2 weeks cause it still wasn't sent to NVC yet.

Then when I called them again today because I couldn't believe it was nearing a month and I still didn't get a case number, someone said it was now at NVC but to call back in 10-20days in regards to the date Jan 7 for it to be entered into the system and get a case number

meh..

finally! Congrads!!

soo,do I contact NVC first or is it the other way around?Reading up on the forums it seems a lot of people contact them first...

Also, a lot of paperwork they send now a days is by email correct?

Thank you! I was worried since I recently moved back to the states,but mailed my petition while I was living abroad

and it seems USCIS never emailed me my notifications,so I was like (did they ever get my e-mail right?)

also,im starting to think maybe ppl who can finally see their statuses can get an approval soon!

wow congrats.. is your papers transfer to houston uscis? thanks

Not sure,last time I called back in Oct(like around Oct 20th)they said it was at NBC.

I gotta wait two weeks to see the mail.

thanks! I hope you and the other oct filers get approved before xmas

I GOT APPROVED!! OMFG! I just left Japan to permanently come back home full of the snot crying and stuff when I said goodbye to him at the airport.

Hang in there everyone!!

Oh and once again, I DID NOT GET AN EMAIL NOTIIFICATION!

congratz! I hope I get approved soon too! Please let my app still be at NBC!!

I see it! But I got all excited and thought it meant it was approved...boo.

I can now see my status. Initial review!

But it says on December 12th, my address was changed...what the hell does that mean?

When I look at my profile, it still shows my address that I used,which was Japan...hmm

hmm is that so Darnell?I guess I need to speak to a Tier 2 person today...=D

soo....basically everyone is getting sent to their local field offices even if we've been told before we were staying at NBC?

bleh...I just checked houston's volume chart and it doesn't look pretty...what looked like a 2-3 month wait before august is now a 6 month wait starting from september.

grea...

congrats!

O wow I got approved yesturday........november 7th 2012.....so it took a little over two months.....

congrads! good to hear a petitioner living abroad and their I-130 at the NBC was finally approved. So 82 days..hmm okay thats good!!Just 2 months

Am I the only one starting to think us petitioners living abroad kinda shot ourselves in the foot using our foreign address?

So far ppl getting approved that didn't have an expedited request were transferred out of NBC to their local field office from the Aug and Sep filers as well.

However I have yet to see someone who is at NBC from after Aug 15 get an NOA2 =/

I know November just started but....meh...maybe I'll start worrying when December rolls around.
