Case just got sent to NVC

I didnt have a social security and neither I had any property / assets in US. Basically, I was born in US and our family moved outside US when I was 3. I did not even apply for a Social Security card.

P.S. Never visited US during that time.

Hello

I am USC and have got I-130 approved today from USCIS. My question is that up to last year, I was living outside US and never filed any tax return since I was not required.

I have noticed that in I-864, one question pertains to tax filing for previous 3 years. How do I go about it?

You are over 6 months. Have you filed a case enquiry?

Yup I did.

Mine is 3/28.. still no approval..

I did. The address was incorrect and even after rectification, I have not received a notice up till now.

I received the following case update on my case. I contacted the USCIS office and I was told that this was a receipt notice that was sent out and you don't need to worry about it since you already have the receipt number. My concern is that it says that it will have a serious effect on the case. Should I be worried? I have already raised a service request twice and have not received anything up till now from Nebraska office. My NOA1 date is 3/28/2016.

On June 11, 2016, the Post Office returned a notice we sent you for your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number LINXXXXXXXXXX, because they could not deliver it. This could have a serious effect on your case. Please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice immediately. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

My NOA1 date is March 23, 2016 and still no approval.

Did you get any update about your case?

Nothing. My NOA1 date is 3/28.

What?? That is terrible You should contract your congressman and have them look into your case. You are definitely outside of the normal processing time - I would get someone involved.

I'm so sorry you're in this situation. I hope you get your approval soon.

How do I do that??

Yes I was 24th march for NOA1. Approved 3rd august, sent to NVC 18th aug. case number assigned 8th sep. have you checked on the app for applications near your number to see if others in the same date are approved?

Yeah I checked the other cases near me, either they have been approved or an RFE was sent to them.

Hello

I got my NOA1 on March 28. The case was forwarded to Nebraska service center. Still did not got an approval. I am going crazy, it has been over 5 months now.

My NOA1 date is March 28, 2016. Still no approval.

Any of the March filers got their approval?

Hello

I have a case pending with NSC for I-130. It has been a little over 5 months which is outside the processing time of NSC as per their website. I tried submitting a case inquiry online, over the phone and personally at the USCIS office but all I get is that the system is showing the case is within the processing time. Need some help on this please.

17 weeks

Right now our case is with Nebraska Service Center and already under processing for 5 months. I spoke to USCIS day before yesterday and asked them to raise a case inquiry that it is out of normal processing time. The officer mentioned that they cannot since the system is not allowing them too. When I asked what do you mean, she said that the NSC has a backlog of 55 days which basically kills our timeline.

If my wife gets the visa before the baby is born there is no need to go through all of this obviously.. I will get her to travel immediately.. The only reason I started this topic was to get clarity in case the baby is born after.

He said that the tourist visa will be for 5 years and once the baby is here you can apply for I-130

I spoke to an immigration lawyer and he charged me 250 dollars for it. He said to apply for a tourist visa for the baby

Thanks.. this helps

But isnt LPR someone who has already entered the US?

That is my last resort, if they cannot come here together, I will most probably leave US.

I understand but the problem is that I-130 will take another a minimum of 7-8 months. I have already missed out my wife's pregnancy. I don't want to miss out more

It does seem like a baby transport letter

That is precisely what I am trying to avoid and not filing I-130.

Three and half years out of which only 3 months after the age of 14.

I was going through the USCIS website and found this:

Following-to-Join Benefits

This section is for beneficiaries who became permanent residents through a preference classification.

If you were married and/or had children who did not obtain permanent residence at the same time you did, they may be eligible for follow-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130 for your spouse and/or children. In addition, your spouse and/or children will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you may simply notify a U.S. consulate that you are a permanent resident so that your spouse and/or children can apply for an immigrant visa.

Your spouse and/or children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if:

• The relationship existed at the time you became a permanent resident and still exists, AND
• You received an immigrant visa or adjusted status in a preference category.

If your family member falls into this category and you adjusted to permanent residency in the United States, you may submit the following:

• Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition
• A copy of the original application or petition that you used to apply for immigrant status
• A copy of Form I-797, Notice of Action, for the original application or petition
• A copy of your Form I-551 (green card)
