missing the police certificate, court certificate and a birth certificate (with translations of course)
Ohhh I see. My husband had to rush and get his police certificate last week, and he paid extra to expedite it.

I see that we are at the same stage right now.
I am waiting for the civil documents to get to me from Morocco (sometime next week). I already submitted the AoS and DS-260
The wait at NVC is getting longer and longer
Why don’t you already have them? Aren’t they the same documents we submitted with our USCIS petitions?

Congratulations

I submitted mine on the 6th.

Hello VJers,
I filled form I-130 for my mom which is at NVC at the moment. My mom and dad have been divorced for about 30years. My mom remarried and is now a widow. I have the death certificate for her late husband. I just got an email from NVC requesting for Divorce paperwork between my mom and dad. My parent never had a marriage certificate nor divorce papers. How do I go about this? any answers will be appreciated.
Hey have you figured it out yet? We’re your parents never married? You should write them explaining the situation.

Except that it is the interviewing consulate, not USCIS, that will make the final decision on whether the submitted evidence is enough to show that the relationship is bona fide. If you actually read the OP's posts, you'll see that they've been through that consulate before and their previous case was denied, hence the need for stronger evidence this time around.
Actually I did read the post, and it was the OP’s criminal history that supposedly was the real reason for the denial. However, they are applying for Cr1 not K-1, so it’s a handled differently.
Overdoing it with photos is not going to make them suddenly convinced, IMO. If there was questions about the safety of the beneficiary in the past, then perhaps explaining who they are as a couple will make the focus on that instead of an incident that occurred 15 years. They are married, so at this point it’s about proving that their marriage is LEGIT and beneficiary is with petitioner for right reasons, not whether or not the beneficiary is safe.

Okay so my husband and I don’t have any joint accounts, bills or land together yet. I decided to take the advice of a lawyer on YouTube, and just simply tell our story of who we are so that USCIS will know, without a doubt, that our union is sincere. Well Here is the evidence that I submitted, and our petition was approved.
1.) My cover letter explaining our love story
2.)about 60 photos, of us throughout our relationship
3.)) two affidavit letters, one from his best man(in Ghana) one from my maid of honor.
4.) itineraries for flights and hotels
5.) Wedding invitations
6.) Receipts from deposits made on our future wedding
7.) love letters and emails we sent to each other
8.) receipts of money my husband has sent to me.
9.) copies of civil documents
THATS IT… We never questioned if our evidence was enough because, honestly, you really don’t have to go over board when your relationship is solid.

Oh wow! How comee
I don’t know. I heard from a few people that it’s taking awhile for alot of non citizens. Then the processing centers is a huge factor too.

Yes exactly why I was so surprised I wasn’t expecting it really right now, hope everything else is as quickly
Yesss…I know people who’s been waiting for their petition to be approved over a year now.

Yes they have!! Does it mean something?
I know it does but does everyone not get it
It just means that your case is moving along quickly, which is good. People were saying it could take a couple of months just for Nvc to contact yu.

Clearly you are looking at timelines for people who are doing completely different immigration processes.
No they are the same.. they are overseas applying for Cr1/Ir1.
I think the AOS is the affidavit of support, and I mistakenly thought it was the I-485.

Because your case is for Consular processing, form I-485 does not apply.
Form I-864 will be required to be submitted to the NVC, when the NVC notifies you to do so.
Unfortunately, AOS is an acronym for 2 forms: Adjustment of Status (I-485) and Affidavit of Support (I-864). For you, only I-864 applies.
Ohhhh okay thank yu for clarifying. By AOS I thought it was referring to adjustment of stAtus.
What’s been confusing me is when I look at peoples timelines, and they have MAIL AOS PACKAGE. So I thought that meant that I would have to send off an I-485 adjustment of status package.

Just approved the documents are all in order
expect the case to disappear from USCIS site as it is transfered to NVC
What you do now? Wait
wait for NVC to send the new embassy case # (about 2 months)
then you will be able to check CEAC site for updates
it will be under immirant
https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV
but nothing will happen fast as USC has to pay 2 fees and the ds 260 and AOS with supporting documents need to be sent
then wait wait wait for the embassy and NVC to schedule the interview
That’s what’s I’m asking about, the AOS part.
Do we have to file AOS for our case.

Then you will not need to file the I-485. Filing the I-485 to adjust status is only for beneficiaries already in the US.
Your spouse is going through consular processing. When USCIS approves an I-130, it can take several months to transfer the case to the NVC. They will provide you with information on how to proceed.
Have you looked at the Guides on VJ?I just did. Thank you.

Is the beneficiary in the US?
No he’s in Ghana, and I’m trying to get him here.

So now that our I-130 petition has been approved, are we eligible to apply for the AOS or do we have to wait for something? I’m awaiting our No2 in the mail, but our status has just changed to APPROVED as of yesterday.
Thank yu, in advanced.

Okay thank you, that’s what I thought maybe they closed is there because it got transferred after my approval
I don’t think yu have anything to worry about if it says your petition was approved. The same document that yu see online, are the same documents they will send yu. I think at this point, USCIS has done their work which is probably why it says CLOSED.

Go with your intuition that led you to withdraw. It’s one thing to get mad at your significant other, but to be so fed up to the point you withdraw from THIS type of commitment? That’s a big deal. 🤔🤔
