My hubby sent our I-130 on Feb 9 at Chicago Lock Box and was accepted on Feb 12. It was sent to Nebraska.

Our I-130 was already approved on March 11, 2015. USCIS forwarded our case to NVC last march 16.

When should I start counting the 2-3 weeks from the day they sent our case to nvc or the day we got our I-797? Our priority date is February 12, 2015.

Do we really need to call nvc to get the case number? Aren't they going to send it thru email or mail?

Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated. God speed!

Hi folks! May I ask if is it required that the 3 recent years income of the sponsor must be above the 125% poverty level? My husband didnt had a full time job on 2012. He got his good paying job on 2013 tho. But for aos they will ask 2012-2014 federal income tax right? Do we need to have a joint sponsor?

My husband got the I-797, it was stated there that the priority date is Feb 12, 2015.does it mean we already have our case number?

They emailed me that they already forwarded our case on March 16 so when can we start calling the nvc to ask if they already have our case?

They will send out the welcome letter. People used to call in to get case# and filled out the choice of agent and pay AOS fee ahead of time before the welcome packet send out. But it seems like they dont open ds-261 and AOS invoice until they send out the welcome packet now. You can try to call in and get case number early when they assign it but I am not sure if you will able to do anything with it.

You have to call them to find out

Thank you. How about the case # we also need to call them? I've read that nvc will send welcome packet when would that be?

I got an email from USCIS that they already forwarded our case to NVC. How would we know the NVC received our case? Are they going to email us that they already received it or shall we call them?

Hi everyone! May I ask if can we choose my us american mother in law to be our agent? Since my husband is too busy working in a long hours everyday.. God speed!

May I ask if is it ok to choose my mother in law who is a US citizen to be our agent. Our NOA2 just arrived thru mail.

Thank you. I'm just worried now coz we might encounter some problem regarding the AOS of my husband. NVC may ask 3 years ITR but my husband had no job on 2012. Hope everything will goes well despite this worries.

Congratulations once again!!

Now we all wait patiently for some action with our petitions.

God is Good!!

Hi everyone! I got an email from USCIS that they already forwarded our case to NVC. God speed!

Im confused now. Last time I checked my case it was approved on March 6,2015 but when I checked it today it says was approved on March 11,2015. Idk which is right....#confused

Can I get nbi clearance prior to nvc packet?

Your welcome.

Once your I-130 has been approved from USCIS, it will be sent to NVC (a part of the Department of State). Depending what service center the I-130 is coming from, this can take anywhere from a few business days to a few weeks. You may or may not get an email from USCIS/update on their website stating when it was sent.

You won't get correspondence from NVC when they receive your case from USCIS. You need to call an operator at NVC to find this out.

Once NVC does receive your case, it's currently taking around 3 weeks for a case number to be assigned.

You should read Saylin wiki about NVC process Here

Good luck

Thank you so much for the information.

Thank you. Anyway may I ask how are we going to know if the nvc already received our I-130? Are they going to send email?

Question: Can I get NBI clearance ahead even I did not get the nvc packet yet?

Hi all,

My AOS and IV package was received by NVC last Friday 06/03/2015 . when you think I'll get an email from them ? and do I have to call them to conform that they received the documents?

What does AOS stands for? Adjustment of status or affidavit of support?

Thank you.

Hi everyone! May I ask if the NVC will send the form I-864/I-864EZ to my husband or we will be the one to download and print the said forms that can be found at USCIS web site. Waiting for your response. Thank you.

Got an email from USCIS today informing us that our case was approved. Now waiting for the notification and NVC...
