On February 24, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

hi xpa0905... welcome to the thread.... hopefully we ll be celebrating soon!

so what paperwork you have in hand princess?

as i am the beneficiary i printed out ds-230 and ds-3032 so when i get an approval it will be easy for me to file them....i printed out the Lingche's nvc shortcut to study this process very well, for my police certificate and my birth certificate i can't get them now, i have to wait until i get an approval as they have an expiration date...for my husband his documents are ready, he also printed out I-864Z and lingche's nvc shortcut, only one is missing..........AN APPROVAL!!!!

thats good.... are you going to choose your husband as the Agent? im still not sure about that yet sine my husband is deployed and his mail take forever to get there.... i didnt know what to answer to these questions on the ds230:

21b. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will follow you to the United States at a later date.

21a. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the United States now.

Person named in 14 is my husband and he will be in the States already....he wont be accompnaying me and i have no one else to follow me.... shall my answer be N/A?

yes i'm going to choose my husband to be the agent, maybe you can choose someone else as an agent....

concerning the answers i think none is the suitable answer

Hi! I'm a january filer too! Please keep me in the loop also.

welcome to this thread and hope we will get all an approval soon

Thanks, Princess. By the way, I keep coming across Lingche's so-called shortcut, could you please tell me what this is?

here is the link to it ; it is really useful.....

hey.. try to get all the paperwork necessary for NVC! dont waste your time on waiting! it will keep you busy!

Today i am going to apply for the police certificate and birth cert.

Instead of reding newspapers I read LingChe's NVC shortcut haha

sometimes i think that my approval was just a mistake

everything will be fine! you will see

why you say that??? your approval is the best thing that can happen, i wish i was in your place, maybe your paperwork was not ready but it's not a big deal, as long as you have your approval anything else is easy to handle; you can prepare your paperwork easily and lingche's nvc shortcut is definitely very useful to fly through NVC....

that is what you really need to know princess!! lets pray that we ll get our approval soon!!

yeah let's pray, yesterday i saw someone here who got an approval with a noa1 of 31 december so maybe our approval is coming

congratulations, hope we will get an approval soon , we are at vermont center too

did you call USCIS again to ask whats wrong?

my husband called them and he talked to a lady who told him that our case is in the system and that sometimes there is a problem in the system and some cases can't be viewed but it doesn't affect the petition

Hopefully soon! did you get to check your case yet Princess? it seems there arent much Januar filers on here... or not?

Not yet

Congats on your approval.... and yes i was reading it too.... and its totally confusing!! may God be with us!

patita is giving us hope that we might have an approval soon; we have almost the same timeline, so hope that we share the same good luck

yes... it was so unexpected that i couldnt believe that!

I am reading linche's NVC shortcut! and I am so lost

I just read that one girl finished NVC in 11 days!!! oh god!

isnt it amazing!?

i also feel lost when i read NVC shortcuts, too many things, i'm trying to understand this step very well to finish it quickly; if you have all your papers ready, you can finish it quickly, just follow the shortcuts !!!!

update:

i got the approval on 2/19/2009

Congratulations you are so lucky!!! i really wish we'll get an approval soon even if i'm not really sure we are in vermont center we can't even check our status online !!!!! this week there were not too much approvals so hope next week we will see more approvals here, we really need that to cheer up

try the change of adress trick; it gets you to a human

Well if you're from Morocco, your chances of getting put into AP are like 99% anyway...so in the end, the month or two you saved aren't going to make a difference

it can be true for moroccan husbands but i've never heard of a moroccan wife put into AP; If approved the visa is issued the following day after the interview or within a week my husband is USC and i'm moroccan

ONLY during the petiton approvals When you get to the Visa part the rep told me it could take 6-12 months longer than the K-3.

who said that???? check the timelines of VJ members and you will see the difference, it's not a big time difference and with shortcuts available in vj you can finish with NVC very quickly; compare your timeline with a vj member who filed only I130 and with same NOA1 date as yours, they might be already approved and probably out of NVC and you are still waiting for an approval ......wish you good luck and an approval soon

that's greaaaaaaaaaaaaaat; i'm happy that we didn't send I129F....now CR1 is faster then K3

congratulations

congratulations!!!! i'm so happy for you; you are giving me hope that i might get an approval soon

I can check my status online. My husband got NOA1 on Feb 7th and could check my status on the same day.

Too bad to hear you can't do it yet. I hope USCIS works right with responsibility for you and every fillers.

i tried many times to call USCIS but i couldn't get to a live representative.... what can i do ; please help!!! i need to be sure that my receipt number is correct

mabrouk azin, ghzala tbark allah , thanks for sharing the pics

January filers, can you check your status online or not yet??? I can't

hey buddies,

we filed my I-130 January 6th and we found out that the NOA1 was dated 16th January since we never got the hard copy. and yes Princess, I did check it just now before i opened VJ.

Good Luck to All January filers... may God be with Us and help all of us!!

Lucky you!!!! i think the problem is in vermont center, they are not updating their system

i dont consider myself lucky.... just tracking that nearly everyone can do right? i had seen in other threads that they are sending VSC cases to CSC... dont know about the latest filers though

not everyone can track his case; i can't and it's unfair ; i don't know what's going on; even people who filed in february in vermont center could check their status online and we can't.....what if we have a wrong reciept number????

I check USCIS.GOV every damn day still nothing.... i am trying to be patient but its so hard guys!

I am so scared that we won't get approval from them....so scared!!!

But i have faith in them as well...

gosh....

good luck to all of us!

keep hope, i saw a case filed in january 2009 and already with a noa2!!!!! so everything is possible

Hi. My husband sent I-130 on January 22.

We've just got NOA1.

And now I cant wait to get NOA2.

I miss my husband in Tennessie too much.

I have done it many times as well, be prepared to be on hold for sometime. Good Luck!!

thankyou, i'm ready to be on hold as long as i can talk to an operator

I suggest looking over the guide for going through NCIS I think it was Mimche's guide? we have an entire thread where we all put in our tips and suggestions and what worked and didn't.

Good luck

thankyou rajaa; i tried to look at nimche's guide but couldn't find where he talks about tips to call USCIS
