Thanks for the advice UnaMexicana! I've actually been away for the last few weeks so I haven't been able to look at this stuff for a while.

I was planning on doing as you suggested this week, i.e. sending on the amended form. However, to my great delight, we received our NOA2 while we were away, dated 2nd September. Therefore our processing is moving onto the NVC! We are still awaiting the letter from them that they have received it (I'm not holding my breath here, they seem to be taking a while for this stage to move forward).

As you said, the section I omitted must not have been of importance to USCIS because there was no RFE. I am predicting issues at NVC though. I would prefer to be processed in Dublin, since then I could visit family etc. while I was there for the interview. I have only lived in France since June (and I'm a good few hours away from Paris by train) so hopefully they will suggest Dublin, I know if I had filed for an additional K-3 visa the NVC would insist Ireland, as that is where our marriage took place. It isn't the end of the world really if it is the Paris consulate so I'm not going to send a follow on letter at this stage. I will wait and see what NVC ask for.

An additional advantage of a Dublin processing is that part of the application requires police certificates from countries you have lived for more than six months. As I said I'm only in France since June so a Dublin processing would probably not look for a French police certificate (if my interview is this side of Christmas that is!!). However, if I need to go through a consulate in France I would assume they would like evidence from a French police agency. My French language skills are not the best so I would like to avoid having to get this additional document if possible! So far all of my documents are originally in English, so an additional step of translating this one document to English would probably be needed too!

I don't know how accurate that is, but I would have to assume it's based on filing from abroad and being transferred to California, which with current trends looks like the "fast track" is still happening to people in our situation.

Wow that's great news, I didn't realise it could be sped up by that much! Thanks for the link to that thread, very interesting information! For some reason I assumed the bulk of these applications would be from abroad to begin with, which I guess is not the case.

Unfortunately, I noticed a mistake on my i-130 this morning (see this thread; http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/369824-made-a-mistake-form-i-130-possible-rfe/?p=7212657) so it might slow things down for me as they might need an RFE to clarify this issue.

Hello all ...

I am new to this great community.

I made some mistake while filling I-130 for my sibling.

while filing I-130 for my brother, in question no 22 "Complete the information below if your relative is in the united states and will be apply for adjustment of status". I answered "N/A" for 1st part and left second part of petition as "BLANK"

while filing I-130 for my sister, I answered "N/A" to all 1st and 2nd part of petition. I was confused that time as this question was primarily for those applying for adjustment of status. I did not pay much attention to 2nd part of the question. what to do now to correct such mistake? does such mistake cause denial of I-130 for sibling?

your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I got my NOA1 yesterday, priority date of 18th August (we live in France so the post took a while!). When I updated my VJ timeline it gives me the following prediction:

"Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between September 10, 2014 and September 14, 2014*. "

This can't possibly be correct, can it? Less than a month? I would be over the moon if it is possible but I am also very weary about getting my hopes up!

Does anyone know how these predictions are calculated in the timelines? Obviously this website doesn't have more information other than the dates/places I've specified for the timeline (e.g. filing date, service centre, etc), so why would mine say September and not January like most of the people in this thread? Very strange! Maybe some people have entered super quick processing times for the California SC and their statistics are throwing off the calculation. I did see one couple that had only 26 days from filing to NOA2, so fingers crossed!

Hi fellow August filers! We (I'm Irish and my husband is from the US) sent our i-130 to the Chicago lockbox on the 13th of August and we received our e-mail notification on the 20th. Our packet has been sent to California. We're still awaiting the NOA1 in the post!
