    My mother-in-law picked up her immigrant visa today! However, it's a little weird. At the Consulate, they gave her the everything unsealed. They told her in her case she doesn't need a sealed packet. They included a letter to the immigration officer that states "No Package". They removed the Tourist visa from her passport and replaced it with an Immigrant visa. Has anyone heard of the Consulate/Embassy giving an unsealed package? They told her it's ok in her case even though she argued with them for a bit stating she wanted it sealed.

    Oh no! I believe they specifically request the W2s in addition to the transcript if you and your wife file jointly. I sent both mine and my wife's W2s from 2016 even though my wife is not sponsoring my mother. Your previous employer should be able to give you copies of all w2s. There is a law that employers keep them for 4 years. You got to this stage so quickly! I submitted my docs and they were scanned 11/18 but I still havent heard anything.

    I found the W-2s!!!

     

    It's confusing though because even on the letter that is requesting the W-2s it specifically states, "In lieu of the U.S. federal tax return and W-2, a sponsor may submit an IRS-issued transcript." That's exactly what we did. I don't understand why it wasn't accepted. Nevertheless, I'm emailing them to my mother-in-law so she can print them out and hand deliver them in person tomorrow.

     

    Don't worry about your stuff. We got everything submitted on 10/27 and didn't get the interview notice until the 12/13. It looks like you submitted your documents about a month after we did and there were the holidays that probably delayed it a week or so too. I'm guessing you'll get yours any day now. Stay positive! :)

    So, my mother-in-law was rejected because she didn't' have mine and my wife's W-2 from 2016. We sent her our 2016 IRS Tax Transcript but apparently that wasn't good enough. I don't know what to do because we weren't able to find our W-2's and I no longer work for the company I did in 2016. I contacted them and they no longer have it. My wife can get her W-2 but it takes a week through her employer. Ugh...

     So, it only took 2 weeks from you submitting your docs to get a case complete? How did they let you know it was completed? Did you call or was it in a email? I submitted my docs with a scan date of 11/14 but I'm not sure if I should be calling them or waiting for an email/letter. I would not have expected anything for another month or so until reading how quickly yours was completed.

    We got an email. It said exactly this:

     

    "The National Visa Center (NVC) has received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy overseas.
     

    NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy in RIO DE JANEIRO, BRZL to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable)."

     

    The subject of the email is, "Notice regarding your Immigrant Visa Case becoming Documentarily Qualified"

    Got an email from the NVC on 11/9 stating: 

     

    "The National Visa Center (NVC) has received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy overseas.
     

    NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy in RIO DE JANEIRO, BRZL to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable)."

     

    We're still waiting for the interview date/time notice. Anyone know how long it takes to get this once NVC receives everything?

    I check mine last week from Texas Service center, they are still processing applications of I-130 from Nov 2, 2016 as of May 31, 2017 update..

    Sorry, I'm looking at Potomac Service Center. I probably should've been more clear. Here's the link for IR-5:

    Hello..im planning to petition my mom from the Philippines.anybody here with a problem with mom's birth certificate..? Do I need to send her birth certificate together with form I 130?? Or just mine.Thank u

    I don't think you need to send in your mother's birth certificate. I think you just need to prove you're her child so you'll need to provide your own birth certificate showing your mom as your birth mom. If she changed her name from what's on your birth certificate then you'll need proof of that too (name change form or marriage certificate).

    Welcome Starmenace,

     

    I have noticed that in some cases Potomac is processing faster than other service centers.  It can be few months maybe 2 to 5 but remember with inmigration  things can change from one day to another.  Some cases get approved faster other takes more time. However I have noticed that things are moving going a litle faster. Let all hope for the best.

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, let's just hope things move along faster than not. My mother-in-law already sold her house and needs to move out on July 1. She'll be living with her son until she gets the green light to move here to the US. She doesn't get along with her daughter-in-law so she's really hoping this process moves quickly. :)
