@Greenbaum my fiancee had the wrong Year of birth for her mother. We used the same YOB on both i129f and ds160. File is already at embassy. i have contacted support india, but no response so far. Is it going to be a problem. i highly doubt but still wondering, or i have also read here that she should be able to change it at consulate. Thank You 

Thank you.

Hey!! I got a tip from that Greenbaum Guy and he said there is something in the PDF file that addresses your question. He thinks maybe you need to do a little more lifting to get your answers.

I did read it again, but i dont see where it say anything about when it reaches embassy. I only see "Ready" for visa issuance. But its cool though, i read my status again and it says on the bottom  "ready for interview" which i assume means at embassy and in there system. Thank you though. 

But a question though, Do i have to send original  i-134 with "wet" signature or can i email her a scanned copy. Cant really find an definite answer for this question. Thank you. 

if it says ready does that mean my file reached mumbai? thank you.

That's what I was thinking, that it might ask it after.  Thanks for clarifying. I didn't want to miss anything if at all possible

i had put my case number there but then i searched here and even on ceac site it says USCIS number. for ds160

@Greenbaum Just making sure we are not missing anything on DS-160.  I saw it asked for the receipt/petition number which is the WAC*****.  I don't see where they ask for the case number? 

Thats what i have read too. But, They do ask for case number when filling the actual visa application on cgi.state. 

did you wait for it to say "ready" or were you able to book interview right after you received case number from nvc. thank you.

Yes and I have seen some people in this thread and other threads getting case numbers more than 6 weeks. So?? YW  Next day case numbers is rare and shouldn't be expected. We don't know if the record has been sitting at NVC and then on the day that someone calls is told "oh your record just arrived and case was assigned" response.

 

 

called non-immigrant visa phone line. waited approx 15 mins and got  case number. Orator said it was assigned yesterdad.

Case assignment is normally running 2 weeks to 4 weeks according to the latest stats. So you are ahead of yourself.

yes probably, but i also saw some people in this thread getting case numbers like the next day. so ??. thank you for pdf and all. 

NVC emailed me that they received my case on 8/13. NOA2 was 7/17. 1-603-334-0700 this number was very busy and call got disconnected. called 603-334-0888 non-immigrant  line and waited approx 10 mins and was told no case number assigned yet. i called today in the morning. 

just to make sure, once i have the case number i dont need anything else from the embassy or nvc right? we would just need the appointment conformation page to book medical? thank you. and i should be able to  pay for my fiancee's DS160 from america using my card?

No you don't have to wait for the hard copy NOA2, only that your petition has been approved. The shipment dates are every other Tuesday with the next and last date in July being July 23rd, then starting in August, August 6th and 20th. It's not written anywhere that you can look at it's just been that way for several years!

so i updated my email with NVC, but i haven't received any conformation from them. is that normal or do i need to re do it? i did it on 07/20. thanks

Okay, I'm trying very hard to not panic. I just went for the first time to my.uscis.gov, created an account, and I do not see my current I-129f case listed. I see my case from last year there, though. (I brought my fiance over last year on a k-1 visa and we decided to postpone our marriage. He went back to his country. Now the timing is right and we're ready to get married, hence the second petition.)

 

Can anyone offer any insight as to why I do not see my current pending case? Am I possibly on the wrong page/site?

 

I received an official NOA1, so I guess I have to trust that my case exists, but it definitely is unnerving to not see it listed on the site...

i think you have to manually add it to the site. i could be wrong but thats what i had to do. 

we applied for visitors visa for my grandpa (mom side), and it only took aprox a month at New Delhi. that was in December of last year though.

Send off that inquiry to NVC updating your email address along with your beneficiary's email address too. Request to be notified once your case has arrived at NVC, and once your case number has been assigned and finally once your case leaves NVC. It does not always work and your mileage will vary, but I requested all three items and I got all three emails as they happened.... so it's worth a try.

Do I have to wait for  actual NOA2 in the mail or can i already update the NVC. and second question How do you find the shipping dates? Thank you.

approved on 07-18-19. got email from USCIS website for action taken. 

NOA1- 4-18-19  got email for action taken. Approved on 7-18-19. checked on new website.  thank you visa journey. Approval predictions were accurate. 

Everybody just checked on new website and my case was aproved on 07-18. No REF thank god. 

okay cool thanks i will keep an eye out for it. Thank you very much.

You can use generic templates, but you cannot write both letters, one has to come from your fiancé.

They can be just typed, right? Thank you very much for all the help

Original, being letters in your (both of you) own words.

so, can i still use the generic letters or should we write them competently on our own? Thanks

I got an RFE for this same issue.  I sent in 1 letter of intent and we both signed..Bad idea, they want one from Petitioner and 1 from Beneficiary.  2 weeks delay.  Good luck.

So, did the REF came in same time frame as an NOA2 would have? and did it show on the USCIS website that you got REF?

I don't see where they said an attorney, let alone an immigration attorney, did anything with their case. They said "professional", which could be any number of things. Visa agent/agency? Somebody they were referred to that has done it for others?

But yes, they really dropped the ball.

yes they are not attorneys. sorry for the confusion. Their company/ agency name is  immigration services. so they are just professionals. 

sorry to bother you again but on USCIS website it say "Proof or original statements of intent to marry from both you and your fiancé(e). Does that mean the letter of intent has to be "Orignal"  and not an copy, if asked for? Thanks 

Thank you very much.
