srey

I don't think you can do this. The marriage certificate you got in the Philippines is your legal certificate of marriage, you don't need anything else.

Hello guys, my waiting for noa 2 had not been came because we were informed that our I-130 should be amended ( it means new I-130) bec. my husband did not put the address where he got his divorce. The thing that I got pissed off why after 10 months. So we have to wait another 10 to 12 months again...(

Goodluck to you guys. I'm sure it will come soon!!!!

Will your case go to a local office? or do you keep your PD of the first petition?

not surprised.... USCIS always wants more money and takes forever to give you some service.....

Naming your child is entirely up to you. The last name/family name of the child is usually the last name/family name of the father.

[J9P 12/12/2012]

I got the same, I'm assuming its a false checklist, since i had submitted my IV packet over a week ago.

Got an email from NVC today:

"The National Visa Center is waiting for an Immigrant Visa Application to be submitted for this case. The Principal Applicant and any other Applicants who will be accompanying him or her to the United States must now download and complete an Immigrant Visa Application; please visit the following

website for instructions:"

Is it safe to assume this is a false checklist? I've submitted my IV packet over a week ago.

I have done everything (I am afraid maybe too much). I have done 3 service requests (including one e-request), spoken with 2nd tier officers (they offer only misinformation and are not helpful at all). I have contacted my congressman and Senator's office (3 weeks ago my congressman's office said my case is with an adjudicator and I should hear something within 30 days! one more week to go). I have contacted the Ombudsman (no replies). I even emailed the director of USCIS which he kindly replied saying he will give to his assistant to look into. I received an email from his assistant that he will look into it but have not received any responses.

So short of contacting the President, I have done everything under the sun. At this point only God Almighty can help me...Thy Will be done!

It odd that you didn't get a reply from Ombudsman.. did you fill out this form?:

https://cisomb.dhs.gov/oca/form7001.aspx

When i contacted ombudsman, took they replied to me within 24 hours and checked on my case within 3-5 business days, they told me to wait it was within normal processing time.

Additionally, i did contact my senators (both of them) and they both got the same "30 days" reply. My senator's office told me to let them know in 30 days if i don't hear anything, I sure the same option will be available to you. I got approval, 14 days after this help, and the next day after service request #2 from teir 2, first was with teir 1.

Contact with director is good, give it another week and then you can have your congressman look into it again for you. Hope this helps...

OK Guys, just got off the phone with NVC and my case is closed as of yesterday, they received my IV pack on Nov. 27th.

Now lets wait for a Jan. interview.

Congrats! Seems like its 10 business days for case closed, If all goes well I should be in the interview line in a few days. Hoping for a January interview if possible, if not early Feb is just as good.

Any April filers still out there (Except for John1, of course). Please let me know as my wife and I are going crazy!

what have you done so far? service request form teir 1 or teir 2? congressional help?

Congrats! Join us in the NVC December Filer Forum.

NVC seems to be reviewing doc within 10 business days. It should be accepted by the end of the week? that's my guess..

You'll get an email confirmation once its accepted.

You need to meet the requirements set by the Cambodian government:

Income of at least USD$2500 per month.

employment letter

background check (you can get this from police, FBI)

documents stating you're single and legally eligible to get married

you'll need to do a medical

Most importantly, you need approval from the US gov't. This is done at the US embassy in PP. There is a fee of USD$100 for this document, only cash is accepted.

This is what i recalled getting for my marriage back in march. Hope this helps!

almost after one month of my NOA2, i got a mail from NVC saying

"The NVC recently received this petition. The appropriate agent (applicant, petitioner, or attorney) will receive instructions for the further processing of this petition within 6 to 8 weeks"

can someone tell me, why its taking so much time in my case, i see others getting mails so promptly... now how soon i expect to get mail for my NVC case number DS 3032 and other things. i am even calling them daily same response i get on phones wait for 15 days etc types

Read the first post on this thread, it tells you how to get thru NVC quickly. Most VJers with fast processing time are using the shortcuts provided in the post, I myself are using these shortcuts. I'm yet to receive a snail mail (post mail) from NVC, all communications I had with NVC was via email. Hope this helps!

In this entire process, there's actually absolutely ZERO reason to call NVC. None. Nada. The only reason it's suggested to call them is so you stay on top of things. You won't know your case is complete until an interview date is assigned if you don't call. Only those doing EP and a rare handful of those not get the case complete emails. There's no way to get a faster interview assigned unless you expedite. So, to sum up, if you don't care about not knowing when things happen when they happen, then sit back, and do something else.

Thanks Saylin!

If a case is complete, why do we call NVC? all we can do is wait to be assigned an interview date, correct? or does calling help us get an earlier interview date? I'm hoping for case complete in 1-2 weeks.

You should wait until your fiance acquires the new apt.

Yes, I am a US citizen. I have my parents' consent and I haven't read anything about not being able to file the petition just because I'm 17. That's not my problem, I'm solely interested in whether or not my employment will be sufficient or if I can get a co-sponsor or anything of the sort.

You are young... very young.... you need to educate yourself fully on the process. Below are some links to help answer your questions in quotes.
