Ok...I am contacting the Congressman to see how can they help me.

Thanks every one!

It shouldn't take this long. You need to call both the USCIS and NVC and raise hell because they need to give you an explanation of why it's taking so long. Hopefully they haven't misplaced it.

I called USCIS and they said I have to use INFOPASS to go to local Field Office to find out the reason.

Should not they have information or NVC?

Hi there,

Last update I got on I-130 was on April 12 that Case has been Aprroved and will transfer to NVC.

it is going to be almost 2 MONTHS now and still NVC not have my case.

Any body on the same situation? or any idea how long it will take?

Thanks,

Romio

I have not yet got Case # from NVC so do not know what the next step will be but I am wondering what is James Cut, Does NVC will send some paper to my beneficiary overseas?

How can she email NVC back? what exactly is this process, can anybody explain in easy words?

Thanks,

Romio

Congrats!

Yeap! They will send mails for the next step.

Thanks, so what exactly NVC will be sending to my beneficiary? when should she expect something from NVC, I will make her aware of this.

Today I got two I-797C from USCIS. One was for I-130 saying The above petition has been approved. We sent the original visa petition to NVC. NVC will contact the person for whom you are petitioning concerning further immigrant visa processing steps.

The other was I-824 saying the above petition is approved and we have sent the original Immigrant visa petition to NVC which will forward to app consulate.

so NVC is going to contact my beneficiary directly in foreign country?

Thanks,

Romio

Can anybody explain what exactly happens after the I-130 get approved, I read it then being sends to NVC but what after this? how long it stays at NVC before it can be send to foreign consulate or assign case#? Do we need to do anything at our end?

Thanks,

Romio

Why did you file I-824? USCIS will automatically send approved I-130 to NVC for CR-1 and IR-1 visas without you sending I-824, UNLESS you sent an I-129F for a K-3 visa.

Note: When NVC receives the I-130, they will generate a VISA bill, and an I-864 request, they will not send the visa petition on to the consulate until the US citizen responds to these bills and other requests from NVC.

Yes, I filed I-129F also but then decided to move with I-130, that is why I filed I-824. so what should be I waiting for? or what is next step?

Thanks

Hi There,

I filed I-824 almost couple of months ago to send my approved I-130 to foreign consulate, when I checked the status of my I-130 petition, it says we APPROVED this case on APRIL 16, 2008 and sent you a mail notice. But my I-130 was already approved, Does this mean they processed it to send it to National Visa Center?

If yes, how long it will take to leave from NVC?

Thanks for any input.

Romio

I would wait too. We did the same thing because our attorney filed for both the I-129F & the I-130 and we were

told we would have a choice on which petition to persue. After we learned so much more we wanted to go with the

I-130. We were approved in 2 months but that is with an expidited request approved.

I think if you start all over it will take you much longer than just waiting on the I-824 to be approved.

Thanks for the information, I am satisfied now and will wait for I-824.

I filed I-130 for my wife, then filed I-129F, both got approved but then I withdrawn I-129F and filed I-824 form to let USCIS send my approved I-130 to US Consulate in Pakistan. I have received confirmation and receipt no.

I wanted to know how much time does I-824 takes to process, All USCIS has to do is send the approved I-130, but it seems like it takes forever, Should I just wait for it or just re-apply all over again and not file I-129F so USCIS just process I-130?

I filed form I-824 in March.

Thanks for any input on this,

Romio

I think you should wait. The latest reported timeline for I-824 is two months.

If you want an immigrant visa, don't file an I-129F for spouse.

Thank you and I decided to wait!
