Just checking -- did your MIL get notification from NVC that the IR1 case is DQ (Documentarily Qualified)?

 

Yes, the above information was copied from an email with a subject field Notice regarding your Immigrant Visa Case becoming Documentarily Qualified on Feb 18th 2022. It is the last email that was sent to both of them and nothing has happened since then. In the email it says they will schedule an interview but its been 7 months now and they have not been contacted with any interview date. Are they supposed to call and make interview and how .. since instructions say they will be given a date. 

My father in law last email from NVC that all documents are completed and to wait for an interview is dated Feb 2022. No word from any one since then. 

My mother in law filed IR1 for her husband in March of 2021 to bring him from Jamaica to the USA. They have followed the process until the last email notice from NVC in Feb 2022 stating : 

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in KINGSTON, JAM to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).

..no contact since. They have waited but wondering how long more they should wait to do nothing. Should they be contacting Kingston or NVC and who should they be contacting. I have read different statements in regards the interview that he should call to make an appointment, however the email said to wait until they schedule interview for him. 

Please advise next steps of where and who to contact for further update. thank you.

We were super frustrated when we learned that.  We called USCIS about the transfer of our petition and the agent just said that USCIS has a page for transfer alerts.  Apparently, USCIS now considers a generic "Transferred some cases from <SC 1> to <SC 2>" line as sufficient notification and we're supposed to figure out ourselves if our particular case was included in the transferred batch 🙄  Sigh.

 

Do you happen to know where that transfer alert page is? The only notice I got is from March 26th which is the Receipt Notice and the bottom lists Potomac Center. So i guess I am to assume thats who has it right now.

…and even without notifying you! Apparently, they’re not obligated to do so anymore. So it helps to check up on your service center every once in a while to be aware of the actual processing time. 

it seems crazy that 1 center has 6 months processing time and the potomac has up to 17 months.. they are not even in april of 2020 yet. i do hope that they do something about this

Look at the receipt notice.  Be aware that USCIS can transfer to any other service center at their discretion. 

Ooooo I think I see it now, on the bottom it says Potomac Service Center. Thank you!

Hello, wondering how to find out which service center is processing I-130 for a resident/citizen of Georgia (my mother in law filing for her husband).

We received a noticed they received the petition and case # on April 6th but no further information which of the 5 centers is the one to check for processing times?

I still don't understand what does this really mean. If something was wrong with the application they would have let us know not send this email. It's very confusing and it doesn't help the website they gave in the email isn't working.

i have recieved this same email (i am the petitoner) do i just call NVC and let them know i am a USC and it should fix the problem?

Please let me know what you find out.

Yes he is a USC and has sent everything including his US passport to them proving so. I wonder how they can overlook this.

Please help my sister she was married last year to a us citizen and application was received in september of 2014. Last inquiry about the progress and this is what they send back. What does this mean?

Dear Sir/Madam:

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your inquiry regarding the immigrant visa petition: KNG201******* filed by **** **** on behalf of **** ****.

Due to the numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance prescribed by law, this petition is not eligible for further processing at this time. The petition will be retained at the NVC until an immigrant visa becomes available. The petitioner, principal applicant, or attorney of record will be notified when this petition is eligible for further processing. The principal applicant should not make any firm plans such as disposing of property, giving up jobs, or making travel arrangements at this time. For additional information please review the explanation of numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance below.

EXPLANATION OF NUMERICAL LIMITATIONS ON IMMIGRANT VISA ISSUANCE:

Immigrant visa processing is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952, as amended, which controls priority dates and the number of immigrant visas that can be issued under certain preference categories. To establish which petitions are eligible for visas, the Department of State issues a monthly publication called the Visa Bulletin.

The Visa Bulletin provides a list of cut-off dates that are used to ensure the number of immigrant visas issued each year does not exceed the legal limit established in the INA. Cut-off dates are categorized by foreign state of chargeability and preference category. Only a petition with a priority date that is earlier than the cut-off date is eligible for a visa and consular processing. Please note this petition's priority date, foreign state of chargeability, and preference category can be found at the end of this correspondence.

The NVC may begin processing this petition prior to a visa number becoming available per the current edition of the Visa Bulletin. This allows ample time for the petitioner and applicant(s) to obtain and submit all required fees, forms, and documents. This petition, however, will not be eligible for an immigrant visa interview until its priority date is earlier than the cut-off date established in the current edition of the Visa Bulletin

To determine the cut-off date and which priority dates are current and ready for consular processing please review the current edition of the Visa Bulletin by visiting the following website:

Hi I am going to be a joint sponsor for my sister in law. She is going to an interview in Jamaica and I need to send a form for co-sponsorship. She is married in jamaica to a US citizen.

Which form do i need to file I-134 or I-864?

Also, I am married of 2 years so do I include my husband's income in the form or just mine alone?

I have a friend who came to to US on a P1 visa couple weeks ago and his visa expired today (tuesday). He missed his flight yesterday (monday) and got scared of not being able to come back so he ended up marrying his USA living girlfriend today (went to city hall and signed a marriage certificate).

Whats best for him to do in this case. Should he get onto the next plane back to his country or should he stay? He is afraid they will never let him back into the United States. Very time sensitive advice needed. Thank you.

Thanks so much. Ill just book ticket with my name as it appears in my passport and call it I day.

So my passport has my maiden name in it since i got married 6 month ago i changed my last name to husband's name and social security change as well so i want to travel back t his country next month but i never changed the passport so will that be a problem flying with my maiden name that doesnt match on the social security #?

She will obtain insurance it will just cost ridiculous amount. Try the Progressive.com website first

Nope,no interview

AOS APPROVED and green card mailed exactly 4 months of filing for AOS. If u r waiting for yours.... its coming faster than expected ))

Need answer what to tell my friend to do.

His Interview in Kingston is scheduled for Nov 4th, the soonest he can go for Medical is Oct 31st at Andrews Memorial. They told him they will not have his results ready on time for interview. What are his options, what should he do? Can he reschedule interview and if so how? Or should he go to interview anyways and what will happen with visa in that case?

So husband applied for EAD on July 16th and i belive the document has been approved as on the website it says

"On September 13, 2013, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you."

So the question I have is if people can tell me after their info switched to document production how long did it take you guys to receive the EAD form in the mail? That status was friday and he has a job interview on Monday!

Congrats im so happy for you. Now u fill out and send aos then wait ..again lol netflix is gonna be ur husbands new best friend while ur at work lol

It Says "ready" but Napoli Says they haven't Received it

Keep calling them and make sure u r giving them the correct information and have them look for it a couple different ways maybe by birthdate and name besides the case # and if they cant find it ask them who and where you need to call. Good luck

It gets sent to the service center that processed your petition. However, it is much easier to just order another bc.

To get another birth certificate husband has to fly to jamaica and do it in person, definetely not easier than mailing the form. I dont know who processed our petition, as you know documents keep getting send here and there all the time im more confused than ever

Is there a difference on the dos website between "issued" and "ready"

It's been 10 days and Naples says they still don't have our file.....

I can't seem to navigate dhl to track ... Discouraged ... So many mishandlings by the whole process .....

Did you log in the DOS website? What does it say on there?

So I see we have t wait till GC or EAD to get a drivers licence. Can husband take the exam while we wait for this? The job he is being offered is a driving job so he needs his licence asap.

Also as his Jamaican licence expires in 2 weeks. Can he send it to Jamaica t have it renew? I heard he can drive w his Jamaican licence for a few months?
