We took this back to the Notary, paid 420 yaun and were told to come back in 2 days.

Thank you so much for all the great info.  I am starting to revisit this one again... Looks like it took 4 days in total to get everything you needed??  And that we need to go to the local PSB of the city my spouse resided in and not just any major city in China?  Thanks again and congrats!

did you even look at my timeline? Case sent to NVC on Sept. 11th. They didn't receive it until the 18th. hope that helps. 

6 months for 130 is pretty good!  Did you do the 129f?

We’re trying our luck with the I-129F route—we just got the NOA1 today. I figured there’s nothing to lose. 

Same here.  Also similar time lines by a couple weeks at least.

Hi guys - what do you use to fill out your forms?  Do you print them out and fill them out by hand?  Use the PDF editor (which doesn't seem to work to well because font size?).  Just curious... thanks!

Thanks! I also realised I can just use our Aussie address for our mailing address too, just had a brain blank moment, so hopefully that will suffice. I'm still not sure when/where to mention that we've deliberately not told anyone (it's all just family politics), but I'm still up in the air about getting an immigration lawyer or using a service like Boundless to help us out anyway.

My spouse (Australian citizen) and I (USC) live in Hong Kong and just received our 2 NOA1 forms in the mail, so while it seemed to take a little bit longer than say an address in the US, they did get here...!  Goodluck!

???? I'm not guaranteeing or selling anything. I have talked to others and helped others with the K3 since June 2019 and all have gotten approved quickly. 

Did you have an IOE number ?

no case number yet, only that they received. 

Hi there - do you need/have you gotta already the police clearance certificate from China??  My spouse will need to get one - curious if we absolutely need to go back to the same city where she resided or can just go any major city in China.

I pray it will not because we need fast processing. It’s not easy to stay away from love ones

If you're in Potomac (I know with an IOE there are questions arising of where the case is actually going to be picked up) but it looks like you are already one step ahead of the rest of us, maybe 2...

IOE right?

Yup.

Just search on the App Store. There’s a few, none of them are official though, but it helps to keep track of other cases around yours. The one I’ve got is simply called case tracker 

Thanks, yeah I've got one that I downloaded, but I cant tell where to see other peoples results/timelines.  Thanks though!  I'm just bummed I got stuck with Nebraska...

Not us yet. I know there’s quite a few who have applied. We are early July IOE Nebraska and now on day 59 for the I-129f too. According to case tracker there’s only us and 3 others that have not received any update on the I-129f from our date out of about 20 

Thanks!  What is this case tracker you mention?

Just got my NOA1 from Nebraska.  Anyone with an IOE number have any luck with the 129f "shortcut"?

Just got my NOA1 from Nebraska, ugh.

Filed on the 30th of September. Got my receipt earlier this week with an IOE receipt # which has got me and my wife for a loop. We've read that this might speed things up a bit but if it takes the usual time of a year and a half to conclude all the proceedings then we'll be fine. 

Hard to say now, the initial batch seemed to get things sped up a bit as it was in a bit of a pilot mode.  I think now everyone is getting them and i doubt it'll make anything faster (don't get your hopes up).  Processing time is really just a couple ours, most of the time here our cases are just sitting in queue waiting for "processing".

Got our NOA1 from Texas Service Center

Looks like we have the same PD ---  Did you get something snail mail or email or just on the egov.uscis site?

WOW looking like a good run, hopefully I will get the same 😉

Got my IOE number via text, they did say it was received 27th however DHL says it was signed for in the 24th.  No biggie I guess!  

Still waiting for my NOA1...

The G-1145 is only for electronic notification when your package is initially received at USCIS; nothing more.

So it's not for electronic notification for Noa) NOA1 or approval 2 or anything, only the initial hey we've got it? 

Flu shot is mandatory?  Flu season in the US I assume, which is when? Winter?

I checked my email today and our I-130 has been approved. This is my first time posting and I wanted to say that the VJ family is amazing. I have already started gathering my documents for the I-864 weeks ago; by reading the posts on VJ. I found this site in June 2019, after I had filed our I-130.

 

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the great advice you all give on VJ. I have made a few friends and I have also recommended the site to a few people. 

Congrats!

Name the same on both documents?    

 

And yes bring the permit card to the interview ... just in case.

Thanks...Yes same name thankfully... We still have a long way to go but yes ... planning on bringing "all the things" to the interview.

Or just have her bring her return home permit card with her to the interview and that might be it?  I am not sure how closely they scrutinize all this.

So we have used my spouse's AUS passport in my 130 petition - and eventually then for the IR1 visa/green card.

She has a Chinese "return home permit" card as she was born in Hong Kong to Chinese parents, and with this she was living/working in China for ~2 years and will need to get the police clearance certificate from there we are assuming. 

So I am also then assuming the China PSB would issue this clearance with her "ID" as her return permit card.

Would this be any issue?  Would we perhaps need to somehow show that both IDs are in fact the same person?  Anyone have any experience with this before??

thank you!
