I hope everyone is doing well. I've been lurking around for quite some time and thought it's about time to start contributing. Below is the timeline of my F2A visa journey.

12/13/2015 - Delivered (Chicago Lockbox)

12/14/2015 - NOA1 (California)

04/01/2016 - Case not approve till now.... ????

Any way have a congratulations who was approved the case and best of luck to further NVC process

We have the same sent Date 12/10/15. But I'm Nebraska and your Cali I so hope My date is up next in the pile of petitions.

Wow another approval, congrats! Seems we're going to have a bang up party in this thread!

Yes I really hope so . My Not date is the 11 which is a month from the Nov9th date they're showing right now. My nerves are so anxious I don't know what to do lol.

Sophjosh895, You'll didn't have any itineraries from where yall travelled to see each other?? That would help prove it is real relationship. Also, some copies of phone records that shows you all talked everyday and how often you all talk?? I'm just asking a few questions.....

I'm so sorry Can you let us know what you sent? That way we could provide some suggestions [/quote thanks dear,we sent all the civil documents which they asked for....I feel my passport probably wasn't clear enough....for bonafide marriage, we aren't leaving together so we don't have most of those things listed, rather we sent pictures, 2 affidavit sworn by third parties though I hear its not really necessary,wedding invitation letter....

My husband actually entered without inspection so I am working on his waiver to send before the NVC stuff. However, I have started collecting the documents. I was going to share with you this link which has helped me (http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/James's_Shortcuts) but it says it is not for k-1 or k-3 visas

What I had to do for the CR-1 visa was gather financial documents showing income (tax transcripts from the IRS), letters of employment, 2 passport photos, and my lawyer gave me a form to fill out for the ds-260. I'm not sure what to do for the k-3 visa, sorry!

I found this after I already posted.

This will let you know what you will need to fill out the DS-260. I hope it helps!

Ok thank you, but we filed the I-130 and K-3. So the info my still be a Lil helpful to me.when I went to see my husband last month I took him all the copies from what I sent in to USCIS. Along with support documents and pics. But I guess I need to get my employment letters together so I'll have them ready. Thanks alot..

Thank you PonJor

PonJor, how was you able to start on the NVC stuff without a case number???? I've been wanting to go ahead and start on the DS-260. But when I go to the site it ask for the case number. Can you plz explain what all you was able to do while waiting plz.

Wow this Nebraska thread doesn't fill me with hope, but at least it looks like they have sped up from a year ago. We filed via the Chicago lockbox and were advised by email this morning that our application has gone to Nebraska. I checked the USCIS timelines and they say they're processing September 2015 at the moment so my fingers are crossed that they are speeding up!

I hope to join you all in celebrating each step in not too much time!

The last time I called USCIS and asked them about the Sept 2ND date. The guy told me that the Sept date means that they have finished all the petitions that had dates up to that point. But recent petitions are being approved as well. So we are literally in the any day now pool of the stack.

Way overdue. still adjudicating. I hope it moves & fishing for a good lawyer...any recommendations?

Hello, we're in the same state and our petitions went to the same USCIS.

His case took almost 3 months to be approved. But he filed at CSC which normally the fastest one.

For your case at NSC you can hope to be approved any day in Apr.

Yes I hope so cause I'm so anxious and ready to see a email or text to pop up lol. An my husband is about to lose his mind waiting. His says the days or starting to feel like months.

Hello everyone

OUR I-130 WAS APPROVED! :DToday at 6:40 a.m., I received an e-mail from USCIS that our petion had approved!

CONGRATS, How many dates did it take to get approved??

Oh sorry now I understand. You were approved by USCIS and got your NOA2. But you didn't have to file a seperate petition for your daughter right? Did you have to file a seperate petition for her? If you didn't have to file a separate petition for her why would she need to get approved?

Once you do the interview you will both get the Visa. Does she have a seperate passport or just listed on your passport?

I am just guessing cause I have no facts about the process for children.

From my understanding of the process when we was filing. That the kids are included on the same I-130 as the applicate. That the only different thing that we filled out separate for his son was the biographical form. His son was even include on the K-3 app. This is just my understanding and I might be wrong on this tho.

This forum is so quiet compared to other forums. I read the forum of Nov filers, quite a number of filers have been approved. So seems December filers turn are just around the corner.

Are there anyone filing at Nebraska? Seems they are working on Nov filing now, you guys will expect approval by any time in Apr. Cheers !

Yes I'm a Nebraska filer and I'm trying to wait patently. I'm already 104 day so far be the days feel like there getting longer and longer lol. All hope it doesn't be to much farther down the road.

My priority date is on the 10th of Dec and I still haven't received anything either. We just have to stay patient through this process.

Yes I just called USCIS and they told the same date. I told him that I saw on Visa journey that ppl with late October dates have started getting approved. He said that the September date means That Nebraska have completed every case that had a date before September 2.

This state id - A US state? I don't know how can a tourist get a valid state ID?

The border control people can do whatever they feel like, that day.

I would ask this in a thread where anybody at VJ can respond to you. Like when you click on VJs Home button, you see people asking questions like this on the left column.

I just talked to her again Looky, she said an attorney told her that he use his Birth certificate to come back into the states off the cruise. I missed wrote he "DONT" have a ID from the states.

Yes I did read that story before Looky. But she was trying to tell me that someone told her that he could go on the cruise and re-enter with his state issued ID. I told her about Reggie's story, but she wanted my to ask for yalls opinion.

Good Morning everyone, I have a question to ask. I have a friend who's husband has over stayed his tourist visa. He and her got married in June. They are in the process of doing their paperwork. They want to go on a cruise really soon. While they are doing the process is it possible for him to go on a cruise right now or is it not a good idea for him to do that until he gets his greencard.

No Jlovesa I filed in December too. But I'm going through Nebraska. The wait is so crazy for all of us. But everyday that goes by and no RFE'S i'm happy.

Is I-864 necessary for everyone?

Yes it is, you have to file it with your I -130 app. Then give a copy to your spouse for the interview.

No I haven't got my NOA2 yet either. So there is still a few who is left and waiting :SAD

I have a question that really could be a problem. On our paper my husband gave me his passport number as his A#. He don't have Alien Registration number. So what should we do in this case. We don't want them to kick it out because of wrong information. "PLEASE help!!!!!!"
