I think all IOE cases approved lately got the letter at the latest a day after approvel. Have you check your spam folder?

Yep! I’ve been checking it almost every hour! And my wife is checking hers as well.

If you have an IOE number, you don't get a letter from NVC - you get an email.

 

Or are you talking about the USCIS approval letter?

 

I meant to say a welcome letter they send through email. I already received the approval letter from Uscis.

I just read that, Thats pretty weird what do they tell you?

They said to wait 6 weeks! I’m about to call them again in few minutes!

Correct me if im wrong but i believe date changes only happen to i130 forms that were filed online. I know about 5 people who never had date changes and there forms were approved and the reason they didnt had date changes is because they mailed there i130 form and did not file online

No. I sent mine as a paper, and I hade like 5 date changes before I got the approval!

I did some digging around from recent approval data in the forum here. Most(I would say 90%) IOE approvals get NVC letter same day or next day, but it's weird and frustrating some of us are left behind, I wonder why. Calling NVC and/or USCIS is pointless, they just point to the 45day and 90day waiting period. 

I know! I have IOE as well. But I’m still waiting it’s been 20 days now. I called every week and I get the same answer. It’s frustrating.

SC of the NOA2 is Nebraska.

Hope your approvals come soon!!!!

 

 

 

Congratulations! You already got the nvc letter? I was approved on the 15th last month. And I still didn’t get the letter

How long after you pay fees you are able to start uploading docs? Thanks kindly 

Oh noooo. Is ur number an IOE?

Yep! My Pd date for i130 is October 7th. Nebraska then was transferred to Vermont. The approval letter doesn’t say anything about nvc either is that the new normal

The same day it was approved 

Nice! I was approved last week I’m still waiting on a letter from NVC. I’m wondering how long that will take?

Received my welcome letter from NVC today and paid the fees..

When was your i130 approved? 

So this is the approval letter I received! But it doesn’t say anything about NVC is that normal? Or did they made a mistake?

Oh man I didn't realize there was such a discrepancy in timeframes! I suppose it's possible his I-130 case is older, but don't they all start with IOE now?

My i130 is IOE I filled in October 2019. So hopefully I’ll get the email from nvc sometimes this week!

I got the case and invoice numbers from the NVC the next day, so hopefully you'll get it sometime this week.

 

If you can't get copies of documents due to Covid, there is a spot to add a comment stating why you don't have it. Explain the situation and that you will bring copies to the interview. Hopefully someone else here can confirm that this method doesn't result in an RFE. I was lucky that we were still able to get a police certificate during this time so didn't run into this issue.

 

And yes, the instructions state that all documents should be translated.

 

Congrats on getting to this stage!

Excellent! I appreciate it. I hope that’s the case for the documents! Or I’ll ha e to wait more time!!

My i130 just got approved on may 15. So I have two questions.

when should I expect NVC to send me the case# and invoice #? Also if I can’t get the police certicate and my wife birth certificate because of Covid-19 what can I do?

also do we have to translate all the documents?

i appreciate the help! And good luck everyone on this stressful journey!!

Unfortunately Nebraska is the service center and no my case wasn’t transferred as far as I know 

We on the same boat then, I would definitely call or chat with Emma and ask if your case was transferred. They transferred a lot cases. You might be lucky they transferred you to Texas or Potomac.

I filed one too but mine was December 17th... My I-130 was filed October 30th and haven’t had any updates yet 

What service center are you? And did you get transferred?

When did you file for I-129f

I filled on October 17th.

Did u send in inquiry too?

Not for i130, but I did for 129f so I guess that might trigger them to look at 130 since the process for 129f is almost up.

Hi All,

 

I just checked my account and we also have a date change - May 14th. I think this has to do with the email we sent last week since our case is out of the normal processing times.

 

I'll keep you all posted

My case is not out of normal time! I was originally Nebraska, then was transferred to Vermont! So I’m not sure what are the updates for, but I’m thinking we might have the same person working on our cases and they going through the process which means they are working them. What center is yours? And did you get transferred?
