A month after USCIS approval, NVC sent a letter with a case number. Now it's time to pay fees and upload all the documents... The only issue right now is this Visa Bulletin date not moving for the third month in a row.

Our case was finally approved on November 4, 2020, it was at the California Center and Priority date is February 2016.

About a month ago we got the RFE about the Birth Certificate date, we responded pretty much the same day and the case was approved in less than a month from that RFE. Now waiting for NVC number and Visa Bulletin dates to start moving...

@zaback21 @Ankit G Thank you so much for your quick response, I sure hope that petition is going to be approved soon. I will keep you posted...

Well receipt date to inquire to USCIS for approval of your petition or to say it plainly, the case processing date in California USCIS is January 2015. So, yes people are still waiting to get their petition approved while their PD became current 6 months ago lol. So, people who got their petition approved, should consider themselves extremely lucky. 

 

And let's not talk about Vermont which is now taking 7-8 years to approve a petition. USCIS is now a total mess. 

 

In another note, Phillipines usually have a longer waiting period - 8 yrs 5 months, so it's on time for them. For the rest of the world, it's a mess. 

What about sending documents to NVC ? Can you do that ahead of time or you have to wait until the case is approved?

F2b petition - my Mother in law petitioning her two adult (unmarried) children.  Priority date July 2015.  Her petition got approved.  They received the notice of Immigrant visa case creation and paid the AOS fee and IV fees ($120 and $325).   Should they start collecting the documents and send them to NVC?  or should they wait until their PDs get current?  Also, what are the documents needed from the petitioner?  can you help me out and link the civil docs needed?  Thanks in advance.

Was that just approved? Is it F1 or F2B category? Final Action Date for F2B category is Jul 2015.

Hi whisky,

My brother is outside of US and waiting for F2B approval from California Center, his case was received on February 2016 and haven't been approved yet. Based on your approval date he should expect approval in coming months. My question is what is the next step after the case is approved? Do you need to fill any other form before you get I-797 or just wait for I-797 ?
