Its unfortunate there are still april filers waiting. We are in NVC since December 20 and aren't case complete yet. So plan for another 4 months for your case from uscis to nvc and to be transferred to embassy and interview. Sucks waiting. Our interview date is may 8. A little over 13 months since noa1.

I need to ask about the documents required for NVC. We have been getting some different answers if we need to submit xerox/photocopies of documents like marriage cert, birth cert, etc? Or we need to send all originals to NVC for the IV docs?

Which one is it?

Thanks Saylin

I have a question about my wife the beneficiary. We will need to submit a photocopy of her passport demographic page to NVC. We are in the process of changing her passport to a new one with her married name.

Does NVC require the new married name passport? Or is her old passport sufficient for the NVC?

We are beginning to gather all the docs to send to me for the NVC process.

Thanks

Got my mcn after 30 days..

Yeah thats whatI read more waiting for our case number. Congrats.

Is there anything you or us are able to do at the NVC stage while waiting for the case number?

Im not totally sure it was the expedite. I did file for an expedite yes. But the letter I got last friday stated it was being worked on and could take 30 days. I was glad noa2 came. Cus theres more waiting at nvc.

I just wanted to ask people here if they received any email/txt update from USCIS a week after receiving the actual physical letter of transfer to any of the service centers. I received two email one on 25th and then on 26th Nov that my case is being transferred. It was not until 28th or 29th when I actually saw the letter in mail that my case was transferred to CSV. After that on 2nd December I got following update via txt/email:

**************************************

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Initial Review

The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

*****************************************

​Does this mean that someone is actually working in my files/cases or is this one of those generic email? Anyone else received these emails a week after receiving the physical letter in mail? Any progress after that update?

Thank you.

Hi, I got that same notice last monday Nd last friday got my noa2. Congrats.

I guess you are way ahead of us in time! we are still on Dec 22 here is the USA! lol

Did you mean the 19th?

Lol, it was a typo. Got noa2 Dec 20.

We were approved Dec. 20 NOA2. Im gonna follow this thread and its unfortunate to read of 30 day waits for a case number. More waiting at this stage.

I wanted to update that we got our NOA2 on Dec. 29. We filed for an expedite on Dec. 11. On to NVC. Good luck to the April filers.

FYI, Im an april 1 noa1. Im Filipino and so is my wife. Im still waiting for a noa 2 and been transferred to NSC. I called and being expedited due to typhoon last wednesday and still waiting. Ive read others are getting approved fast. New Filipino beneficiaries are being approved fast less than 2weeks. It sickens me instead of being happy for them.

I got my hard copy of transfer notice yesterday. Our case is now in Nebraska service center. It took 7 days to arrive after the text message. Monday to Monday.

What is your priority date? Pl. fill your Time Line.

My timeline is filled.

Ok so Im still waiting for a 3rd message. But Im hopeful we will have our noa2 before the end of the month.

I also got a new message today. That my case was transferred to my LOCAL office. Thats right it said local im waiting on hard copy with more info.

Me too. April 1 NOA1 got text today my file was transferred. Dont know where yet and waiting on hard copy. Whats the timeframe for NOA2 after the transfer???

My PD is 3/2013 USC.. im currently working and my contract will end in 2015 but it may end in 4 months due to alot irregularity of my company.. to you guys think its ok to expedite my case due to financial hardship?

Try It and see what happens. Anything to look at our files is better than nothing.

Theres no need for such a harsh attack on INDIM. Everyone can file an expidite just as much as people can file for a k3. Actually I want to consider filing an expedite myself this week and its up to someone in USCIS to approve it. Hope for a noa2 this November.

Im trying to make an infoss appt. But the options or reasons I need are not listed.

You can check current case processing times to get an idea of how long your case should take. If your case has a receipt number, you can check the status.

We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed.

Please choose from the following -

Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.

Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing. EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

Which one of the above is my reason if I just want to know where is my file? Its been past 6months and have not heard anything?

I have read that info already and I wonder how long it would take them to transfer the petitions and actually be in someones desk. It could take a week or month. Either way we are supposed to be notified if our case is transferred to another location. Hope to see more noa2s before the end of the month.

Got an email update from USCIS today. I-130 APPROVED!

Congrats maybe my noa2 is around the corner.

Per Lovemytico lawyers recommendations Im going to fillout a K3 also. Im gonna prepare it tomorrow and hope to have it in the mail Saturday. Most of my previous forms like the g320 are filled out from my I130. I just need to xerox prroof of marriage etc. And I have extra passport pics.

Hopefully K3 would be fast as I know 129f apps are getting noa2 in around 2 months time.

I finally called USCIS for the first time inquiring about noa2. I was surprised that I wasnt put on hold and it took me maybe 5 minutes to reach an operator. However, the operator pretty much read through his PC and said that my file was still awaiting processing. Once it is processed they will inform me. He couldnt say how long I need to wait and I said maybe another year waiting??? And he said he doesnt know. I said ok thanks.

Maybe we will hear something this year. Im not gonna hold my breath.

Anybody have the phone number for USCIS to call asking about my case status and noa2? Im thinking of trying to call tomorrow. Thanks

Now my timeline says Oct 28 for abjudication.... ahhhh, they need to get in gear.

Im officially 6 months into noa2 wait. Hope to hear something by Nov 1. I have not called USCIS ever and dont plan on it as they tell everyone the same generic info.

Congrats to Deltagirl for noa2.

I just noticed on my timeline expected abjudication date has been shortened from Oct 22 and is now Oct 20 as expected abjudication. Usually it keeps getting delayed.
