Nona

We finally got approved also!!!

I'm so happy, finally some progress... NVC here we come!!!!

Congrats to John Leo and Yukon Max!!!

Looks like we are moving... hope to see some more June approvals soon.

Good luck to all of us!!!

Nothing here either but I guess they can't transfer us to a local office since we are abroad.

Hi Ellinora,

we also filed from abroad (Netherlands) and yesterday we received a notice that our case was transfered to a local office.

I don't know which one, but I guess they do transfer abroad cases also.

We didn't expedite or DCF.

Good luck to you!

Hello Nona,

Congrats.....

Just can you tell me if your case was an expedite?

Hello Hirudin, thanks!

Our case was not an expedite, we filed from abroad and no DCF.

Good luck to you and everyone else, hopefully we will see more and more transfers and approvals!

Did you file from the US?

No, we filed from abroad (the Netherlands), but no DCF

Finally!!!

Our cast was touched and will be send to another office

Today we had the following update:

"On December 11, 2013, we transferred your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, to your local USCIS Office for further processing. The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address."

June filers get ready to see some action (hopefully)!!!!

Hey Ivy!!

Told USCIS, NVC and Embassy about pregnancy. Doesn't change anything. Baby cannot be included in petition. Each immigrant files one I-130.

Already talked to the Tier 2. Waiting for news..

Hope this new facility opening in September really speeds things up

Good luck everyone

Hey Rudyzn,

Isn't possible to report your baby's birth abroad and make him or her a US citizen after birth?

That way he/she does not have to apply for a visa.

Our son was born in the Netherlands, but because his father is a US citizen, we could 'report his birth abroad', which meant we had to fill in some papers and go by the US embassy/consulate.

Maybe that is possible for your child also.

Good luck!

No problem Ivy, thanks for the update.

I think we all understand you had other things to do then being on VJ !

Either way sounds good to me!

Hopefully we June filers dont have to wait too long...

So far Im driving myself crazy with checking uscis and the may filers on VJ once or twice a day...i know it doesn't speed up things, but at least im not the only one doing it ;-)

Okay, another version of the list. Is this OK with everyone?

Are you just very optimistic or do you have some kind of (auto) expedite?

Thanks for the complete list!

To update the list a little more, we are filing from abroad, since my husband is still living here in the Netherlands.

So our petition is staying at NBC.

Good Morning All, I was so happy to see the number of our page change from 6 to 7 today :-). I'm on this site so much that I have read everything multiple times. My friends think I'm crazy but for now this site is the only thing that keeps me some what sane. Thank you all for sharing your journey and keeping the hope alive.

Good Luck to us all!

I understand completely how you feel!

I'm completely addicted to this website, and have been reading as much as I can.

Besides that everything that can prevent us from going insane is allowed!

We have filed in the beginning of June, so I keep my eye on this thread to....

Good luck everyone and hopefully the NOA2's won't take too long!

Check out this website also: www.baggage.nl

They offer both air and sea freight and have great prices.

Thanks for the information, it's good to know what I can expect at the embassy in Amsterdam.

I've been there once before, and was wundering why people were sitting in that area. Now I know! Hopefully soon I will sit there to...

Congrats and all the best in the US!

Okay, thanks!

Congrats! I hope ours will go so fast to!

What does MSC mean? My receipt starts with that also.

Is the lockbox filing location different between the CR1/IR1 and the K1?

When i read the 129k information it showed a Dallas lockbox. We are about to send everything out so it would be good to know to which address.

It is, CR1/IR1 for the Netherlands is the Chicago Lockbox and for K1 is the Dallas Lockbox.

Good luck with everything!

Me to! I received my NOA-1 this morning!

I didn't put too much in it either, cause I understood you can do that later...

hi everyone,

we sent ours last thursday, so hopefully we hear something soon!

good luck everyone!

My husband is American and just like Sealy, we live in the Netherlands, but are going to move back to the US, for the exact same reason.

We have just filled in alle the papers and are sending it to the USCIS Chicago Lockbox.

Hopefully it won't take too long...

I was just answering and finishing my reply, when I lost my internet connection... so I have to start over again.

So here it is:

We got our approval!!!!

Isn't that the best news ever!!

I never got a touch, still didn't get an email notification by USCIS and on their website it still says that our case is pending!

But today I received an envelop of the Consulate in Amsterdam, that they can begin processing our case!

I'm so happy and excited! It's such a relief when you finally get the news.

Today our lawyer also send an email that our case was approved on Nov. 26. I don't knwo why she didn't say it sooner, but.... nothing can ruin this day!

And besides that, my man got a new job today!! Isn't it great?

So, I just wanted to let you know that... and of course I'm ready to answer everything you need to know! I'll be happy to help.

By the way:

Liz, congrats and good luck with your new job and Peet, I'm gonna live in Virginia, about an 1,5 hour drive from DC

Oh ..... it's such a great way to start the weekend
