What USCIS Center did you guys apply (the approved I-130 petition dated 2007)? I really want to know. I am getting worried that maybe USCIS somehow someway forgot about I- 130 of year 2006 (since another person who applied the same time with me, the application is still pending). Congrats you guys from 2007

i dont think there is such thing as USCIS is forgetting filed petitions... just bare in mind that it varies every country.... what kind of I130 did you got?? is it from a spouse???

Mitch,

the I-130 is for spouse F2A - spouse of LPR. I wanted to let you know that USCIS works differently from National Visa Center. The USCIS approves I-130 based on the dates received not based on the country that the LPR spouse is from. The Department of State-National Visa Center that issues every month the Visa Bulletin - gives the the visa numbers based on the country of origin and the annual quota. Plus my country is not that special case (like Mexico or so) should not be waiting time different from the ROW (rest of the world).

From other sources/forums it looks like California center is much more ahead of Vermont Center. Just wanted to see if that was the case here. I think that most I-130 approvals from 2007 are from California, while the Vermont center is insisting on the same date of January 2006. Vermont right now is very slow for the I-130 petitions through spouses.

I guess it varies where the petition was filed. Mine was filed in California service Center. I was filed June of 2007

My cousin also filed her petition in California Service Center, last May 2007. Looks like you both have the same timeline, being approved July 2009.

To kareen,

just wondering! your hubby havent got his citizenship yet right? maybe i was thinking that he updated his petition coz maybe of the naturalization thats why it was this fast... just wanna make sure so everyone here will be excited, be prepared a lil bit...

but yah! you brought excitement to our days.... i hope mine is just around the corner

To everyone,

isnt that a very good news that it'll take 2 years now to be approve.... that a relief to all of us spouses.....lets all keep on praying!

we all got this..... and dont forget to share any updates.

@ mitch

My hubby is not yet a citizen. We all have the same feeling and excitement.even if it takes 2 more years or more(hopefully not) to be able to finish this painful process. Let's just all pray that the flow will get faster and smoother. And yah, maybe yours is now on its way to u! goodluck to all of us!

Hello, can I add up to this thread?

Actually, it's my LPR cousin who is petitioning her husband. She filed the I-130 last May 2007 and she told me that she got the approval July, 2009. She received a letter from USCIS saying that her case was forwarded to Visa Center. I wonder how long it will take for NVC to process the papers?

Good luck to all of you in your visa journey.

I think it's not a problem for your brother to get a US visa through his company. My 2 cousins who have two sisters living here in the US for more than 10yrs working as nurses got their US visa real quick. My other 1st cousin who recently graduated from PMMA also got a US visa without a problem. Just tell the truth, your brother will be fine. Good luck to his interview.

Congratulations !!

Congratulations !!

Congratualtions! I hope your GC will arrive soon.

Congratulations !

Congratulations!

I mean nothing in the mail at all today not even junk mail....

Maybe the mailman hasn't come yet.

Congratulations and I hope the rest of your concerns will get good results. God bless!

thanks-----gonna check the mailbox again this afternoon---lol---

I got mine yesterday; you wil find yours waiting in the mailbox this afternoon berniefl33.

Congratulations !

I received this email on Sunday " we mailed you a notice that we have approved this CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service." I did not pay much attention to it, as I thought I need to watch for the card production email.

After coming back from a business trip, I got a letter from VSC with the 10 years GC on it

No complaining as long as I got card

Good luck everyone

Congratulations! I got the same email and the following day the 10yr GC arrived in the mail. I think they meant that it's the approval mailer with the GC.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Your GC is coming soon!

wow!!! congrats!!!

btw, how long was it already from your approval letter to your GC (just curious para makapag bilang ako in comparison )

Thanks a lot RonMay!

I was approved 05/01/09, received the letter in the mail 05/04/09. Received CPO email on 06/15/09 & 06/16/09 then another email from CRIS on 06/24/09 stating that they have mailed the approval of my conditional GC (actually it's the approval mailer with the GC).

Thanks a lot to all of you guys! VJ is an awesome support group!

I got the CPO email on the 15th and just got the card today. So they are coming!!! The envelope wasn't postmarked until June 23rd. So yours should be coming up quick!

Yay, I got my card too today. Postmarked June 23rd!

Congratulations! I got mine too today

I received my GC in the mail today ! The enclosed mailer was dated 06/20/2009 from Laguna Niguel, California but envelope was postmarked 06/23/2009 from a local office zip code. I was kind of confused yesterday coz I received an email from CRIS that says:
