I am petitioning for my mum to move to the US.

 

NVC said they were approving all of her documents and sending them to the London Embassy last week. Does anyone know how much longer we can anticipate this process taking? I am aware there is a backlog due to the pandemic. We applied in August 2020.

Hi, we had our IR-5 approved by NVC in June 2020. 

We have just received letters from NVC advising us of our interview date which is in June and our medicals are booked beforehand. Have a slight issue getting an updated Police Certificate though (the previous one had expired)..and had to pay an extra £40 each to get them expedited or they would not arrive in time for medical! 

The Embassy seem to be getting through the applications quite quickly now, especially since the tier system was introduced.

I'm sure you will get an email soon. :)

Thanks for the response!

 

My parents' DQ was in September 2020.

 

Do you have any idea, that they can come in USA on their visitor visa as their file still is in NVC?

 

Thanks,

 

 

Hi there, we are in the same situation with our IR5’s.
We received DQ in June 2020, so I’m not expecting to hear anything too soon especially when there are many people a few months ahead of us! 

We are in the U.K. and no idea what the waiting list is like at the London Embassy. It’s hard to get hold of any up to date wait times. 
The excitement of getting the email from NVC was short lived but at least we are somewhere in the system I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️. Like many other people we have not been able to see our daughter or grandson for well over a year, so fingers crossed they do some speedy processing🤞 😊
 

Hi there, 

Yes, you have to file the AOS as part of the i130 application. This is to prove you are above the poverty guidelines and can support your parent when they first arrive. 
We also had to repeat the process for the National Visa Centre (NVC) but more financial information was required and my daughter had to provide her last three Tax Transcripts. 
 Our i130 case was approved by USCIS Nebraska. It took exactly 12 months to get approval from Nov 2018-Nov 2019. However this was using the paper system as the online had not been introduced at that time. 

On the USCIS website if you look up Guidance Notes for i130 it provides you with a current list of documents that you need to attach with your i130. 
Good luck 😉 

Just heard we got our IR5 approval yesterday. Our filing date was November 5  2018. It's so nice to login and actually see a change in case status! 🥰

Congratulations on your approval. 

My Daughter called this morning to let me know she received a text saying our case has been approved.. Exactly 12 months from the date we applied..I can't quite believe it 😍

I received an email saying you can now file i130s online. Wish that had been an option last year as it looks like you get a lot more info. My online account has never been updated since I opened it a year ago. It would just be nice to see some sort of progress, if they have completed background checks etc so at least you know something is happening.

Hi, yes we're November IR5 filers 👨‍👩‍👧.Priority date November 15th. 

Trying to find out if anyone from October 2018 have received anything. I had no idea that it would take this long 🤦🏻‍♀️.
