        Hi,

            My petition I-130 for my wife was approved by the Charleston Field Office in South Carolina. I got an approval letter in April, 2019. I was told they will send my petition to the NVC, but they have not sent it yet. I was told their computer system is upgrading once it finishes, then they will send it.  I am wondering why does it take that long for them to send it the NVC. I hope someone can answer my question and Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,

Sangin

Hi

My petition i130 cr1 visa for my wife was approved at the USCIS office in Charleston, SC five weeks ago. Today, I have contacted the NVC they haven't got it yet. Please let me know what should I do to find out about my petition. How long does it take to find out about my case.

Thank you in advance.

Yes it happens but rarely... If USCIS feels the marriage isn't bonafide they might call in the petitioner for a face to face interview, after that they might either approve or deny the petition...which in his case was approve..

Yes, it happened to my case I-130. I was called for an interview, and a day later approved my petition. My case came from Potomac Service Center, and I know quite a few people have to go through the same process.

Congrats!

 

But I want to understand... you’re the petitioner and got called in for an interview in order to approve the I-130?

 

i saw your timeline and see that it took 2 years?

Thank you very much for your reply, and I am waiting for NVC to send me a case number. I contacted The NVC last week, but I was told that It could take up to six weeks to come up on their system.

Hi,

I have got a letter from The USCIS that my petition i130/CR 1 visa has been approved. Now, I believe my petition would be heading to NVC. I would like to know how long would it take to hear from NVC? Do they need a police report from my wife's country to submit it along with other documents to NVC? Or not?

I would really appreciate your help if someone can answer my questions and i say thank you in advance.

It happens sometimes when they need more information from you before approving the I-130. There was one person from my February 2016 I-130 filers group who had to attend a local interview. She had to take additional evidence of the bona fide nature of their marriage with her. 

I got i130 approval letter today by mail.

They can ask for you to attend the interview. It is not common but it is also not unusual. They can ask for whomever to attend the interview.

My i130 petition got approve today.

Hello, this is my current situation as well. The interview letter tells you at the bottom what documents to provide. They asked for his passport among other things.

My i130 petition got approve today.

Well it isn't the first time I have read something abt this on this site.. I don't think it takes too much time since they are already reviewing your documents/file, hopefully you get an approval within the next 30 days. Good luck.

I got an approval letter today.

Yes if they have any doubt then they can call you for the interview.  Now it is happening more ofter to call the petitioner for the interview as well.

Sorry my interview was on April 10, 2019 not 2018. Which was yesterday. I am waiting for the outcome of the interview.

I am confused, did you have the interview or your wife?

No, i had an interview to determine if USCIS should approve my petition or not.

Hi,

I filed my i130 visa petition for my wife who lives oversaes. On July, 2017 my petition was accepted at Potomac SC for processing. On march 2018 i got a letter to come for interview with any evidence and my date was for interview April, 10 2018.

I had an interview this morning and everything was i guess smooth. I answered all my questions and the officer was in good mood.

I want to know how long would it take to response because she was reviewing my documents. Please i would really appreciate in thanks in advance for your response.

I have filed CR1 visa petition for my wife, and she lives overseas. I got a letter from Charleston, SC to come for an interview and even my wife is overseas. I don't know what kind of documents do, they would need for the interview?  If someone has an experience and would like to share it with me. what kind of questions do they ask or documents need?

Hi,

I have file a petition for my on July, 2017 and my case was sent to Potomac Service Center.

On Jan, 2019 I got a letter that my case was sent to a local field office for processing.

On March, 08 I got a letter from the local office asked me to come for the interview  next month.

Is it usual to go for the interview because my wife is overseas and why they are interviewing me?

Please can someone answer and tell me what documents should I take with me?

I have file a petition i130 for my wife last year in July 21, 2017, but has not got any response other than my case and receipt number.

Does anyone have similar experience or still waiting from Potomac Service Center?

Thank you very much for your response in advance.

Hi,

I have filed a petition I-130 for my wife on July 21, 2017, got my receipt on July 27, 2017. I haven't heard anything from Potomac service center since my receipt.

I'm presuming you meant you filed July 18, 2018 not 2017. Regardless you wait for your NOA2. I've been waiting at Potomac 7 months now. 

Yes, I filed on July 18, 2017.

Hello,

I have filed my I-130 petition for my wife on July 18, 2017, but on July 24, 2018 received NOA1, but never anything after that letter. My case currently processing at Potomac Service Center. Please help me what should I do now?

THANK YOU
