Any idea how long it takes to get to NVC from VSC once approved?

I think it varies depending on when VSC sends out paperwork to NVC. I have seen that some people were able to get case numbers within 2 business days of their approval while others had to wait for about a week. I was really hoping for our cases to reach NVC today. There is still half a day left

Siyaram, did your case reach NVC? I see Aman has the case at NVC (approved 12/18).

I checked then AVR and spoke to an operator, but both say there's no record.

Just waiting for ex-lawyer to get the AOS and IV Bills so i can pay em. Gave up on trying to get IIN on phone. I'll be focused on the K-3 leg of this process in the coming days and hoping I can get my hands on the bill on Friday to resume CR-1 leg. All the docs are waiting to be sent. Just have to wait through the holiday.

Hoping to get at least a February interview.

guys, i am joining you too

Congrats buddy!

Desi - I called last night and spoke to operator. She told that the case has arrived in the building but will take few days to enter into system. I called NVC again this morning and the AVR still said "no records". I am planning to talk to operator again tonight to see if it has been entered. Call tonight and see if they have the case or its entered in the system. Our cases should have reached NVC at the same time. Also, I am not sure if Aman was a transfer to CSC. If so, her case would have come from CA.

Ok, I'll give it a try. Hopefully my case was with the same shipment as yours! LOL I am not sure about Aman's case whether that was a tranferred case.

Keep in touch!

CJ not really, don't take it like that. have they send your case over to the embassy yet? I'm talking about the i-130. if not you could still contact the embassy and let them know that your cr1 was approved and the case has been completed at nvc so therefore you would like to switch your interview to cr1. definitely you will not get a January interview anymore at least you got a Feb.! I'm looking something like a March or April interview. so considered your self lucky.

Yep, March-April seems about right estimate.

Yea, I am hoping too so that I can start this process...

I decided to not post this as a separate thread, I thought I would just sneak it in.

I got the e-mail about a half hour ago (12:30 eastern time)

They finally freaking did it. The I-130 and I-129F's are approved.

Tremendous amount of love to all of you who have shown support. For all of my girls and guys still waiting, stay strong.

Not leaving ya. I want to watch all of my peeps get their approvals - Plus, I can now give ya'll first hand accounts of the next steps of the journey, as I stumble through those.

Happy holidays. Think I'll go get drunk.

CJ-G

Congrats buddy! You made it! Yes, time to celebrate!

so what i need on the DS30-32? the barcode with my case number and what else? and should be sent with my husband name as the remitance or it could be me?

Yaeh, I think it's the barcode and filled out form.

Basically, it is very similar interview to the other members in the past.

She was taken inside around 7:30 and took her fingerprints.

-She was called for the first interview with an Indian officer. He asked her that you are very young to married. She told him that I am 21 and he laughed and said so you were waiting to be 21 to be married. He asked her about what I do and when we got married. She was then told that an american officer will interview her next but its going to be a while.

-She was called for the second interview and it was pretty straight forward. He asked her what I did for living, how we met, when we got married, where we got married, how many days I stayed after the marriage, did I go to visit her again, asked to show photos of when I went to see her, asked who all attended from my side from the US, who all lived with me. He then told her that her visa is approved and we will courier the passport within 2 days. She asked about picking up the same day but he told her it won't be ready and we will courier to you. She agreed and walked out.

Good deal!

Also waiting here, not sure how long it takes to generate ds-3032 and aos fee after the files are received at nvc. I hope it happens this week. Good luck everyone.

nothing?? no updates?

How's your process coming along? I'm still waiting for them to receive my files at NVC.

Same here. We were approved on the same day so our files should be in the same bundle to NVC

Looks like we've got some company here!

I am so happy today as wife was given the visa without any issues. They will courier the passport within couple of days.

Congrats buddy!

Please share the interview experience and possibly questions asked to help us out!

Hey Friends,

I got approved on both I-130 and I-129F on 12/18/2008 at 6:00pm. For many of you, you know the feeling and I'm much of the same way.

Special thanks to lot of you for help & support.

Thanks everyone. I am sure I'll be needing your help through NVC.

Hey Desi, how are you?? well nothing yet my cases are at NVC as of December 17th but nothing has been generated yet

I'm well, hope you are too.

Oh. I would think it would be there by now... I guess may be a day more.

hey gang! did u see desiman around? i have a feeling VSC is searching for him to give his approval. all ready wrapped up with a bow on top, just have to hand it to him.

as for the vermont trip, if some would decide to go, i think by the time u get there will be an entire caravan of VJ's joining. would be like a pilgrimage to an oracle. VSC, the one who has the answers to all yr questions-wonders-dilemas(and keeps them secret too)

anyways, I wish u a Merry Christmas, I wish u a Merry Christmas, I wish u a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....smile my friends, better days are coming and life is beautiful any harsh curves it would take. as long as we both see same sun up on the sky, love conquers all. the heck with the big water between us. if would be to drink it all to make our ways to eachother, and still the day to see sunrise at the same hour as my lover will come. since I am doing my waiting time, Ive comforted myself with the idea that if ppl live their loves like a normal day-nihgt cycle, I am now going through a polar night, but oh boy, the polar day will come too and will be long, rejuvenating, peaceful, sunny and BEAUTIFUL!

if all this sounds like melodrama, forgive me, is almost 1 pm here and didnt sleep for last night yet. and sleepyness makes me sound that funny sometimes. lover and i decided 19th of december is as good as any day to celebrate love, even if is in virtual space. I feel recharged.

DesiMan,

Approved today! Great to hear his news!

As you can tell, I am pretty darn happy today!

antiwaiting: I don't know what it is, but you sure got some power to see the future. It was right on the money! Thanks! and I hope you continue for the VJers.

Got approved yesterday evening on both applications!

I've stopped projecting when I might get some good news because I've always been wrong. I'm just going to pretend like I don't care anymore... it's pretty depressing...

Good place to see who's what where and when:

No activity...

Desi will be next maybe you get the email tonight!! Desi are you from NY?

Being optimistic about email tonight! No, I'm from NC.

i have been sooooo depress that i have been reading the topics but not writing at all but now i wish i could write but i can't! my fingers don't seem to type !! oh my God i'm so excited!! thank you guys for your support! i have both of my petitions approved as of Dec 14 but i got the emails just today.

I might just have to try your trick--not posting anymore for a while! LOL

desi, last week I made a bet next is SraCastillo and myself, then u and robby monday on 22nd. seems for him i was only wrong about which monday, so Id say u have to check yr case status every hour, and mail too. sometimes hard copy comes without case status being updated. even in my case, took them 2 days to update status and send email. not to mention that it came while i was posting here somth about I wish i get good news this week. as i pushed "add reply", I've recieved email. and the email was wow, the one I am waiting since months, the only one that matters since a while. so Desi, Id say u get the approval email anytime now, if u didnt already get approved and NOA2 hard copy is in its way.

Keeping fingers crossed. I am still awaiting good news and about the status check, I do it more frequently than you said I need to! LOL Let's see what happens...

Today got the approval notice in email for both I130 and I129F. case status on USCIS site was updated today as well. but the notice of approval is dated with 13th of december. I am happy. NVC here I come! we have all paperwork ready for next steps, and what was the most difficult is over. the long long waiting. my K3 lil family, I am focusing in pulling all of u out of VSC as soon as possible, to have company at NVC. remember, power of mind does miracles.

Wow! Congratulations!

This December, instead of snow flurries, I am seeing approval flurries! Way to go!
