I would say you should expect it to take longer. My wife is from Mexico, we sent our documents away on January 10, 2018 and our interview is on March 19, 2019. This was with an approved expedited interview, so we hit 14 months on an expedited case. Ciudad Juarez takes forever to give out interviews; from what I've gathered perusing other people on this site who went through Juarez, most people end up waiting about 6-9 months after NVC Case Complete to get an actual interview. Stay strong and stay positive, it's a long road ahead!
is she in Mexico or the USA? i have heard that people who have never been over here in the USA is a faster process, but i don't know.

are you sure they did not include the I-130A as it is an essential part of the package, and imo if they can't follow directions they are not worth paying for, they will likely screw something else up in the process.
i could probably be wrong then...waiting for them to call me back and i will ask...thank you so much for your help. let the waiting game begin.

but no I-130A??
if I were you I would send it with a copy of the NOA1 to get it added to your package.
the bad thing is that the lawyers office mailed it out last week already

Is this the same husband that you previously tried to file for AOS for but couldn’t because he entered illegally? If so, the illegal entry could still be an issue. When did he last enter the USA? According to your previous post, you already gave an approved I-130. That never expires. Unless, of course, this is a different husband.
no this use to be my sisters account but she has her husband here in the USA already... and she let me take over this one.

its a problem if they did not send the I-130A it has to go with the I-130, and all evidence including passport photos for both, some will say both isn't needed but I would rather be safe then sorry.
what all did the lawyer send in?
and imo lawyer isn't needed for this process it is easy.
there is a timeline you can follow I know that you can track process by service center but when it comes to interview I know they are really backed up in Mexico depending on what embassy.
normal processing time 12-14 months
they don't have to send a RFE now its not required they could just deny the package.
yes i submitted passport photos, pictures, letters and a few other paper work with the first packet...

you are going to send off the I-130 and I-130A as I assume he is not in the USA he is still in mexico
check out the guide
ok i went to a lawyer and i believe they only sent out the I-130 or is it the same thing...do you know how long the process usually takes for approval
-
good morning... quick question... My husband has never been to the USA we got married at the border on the bridge...what form do i send off first? is it the I-130? please help

Well i need some help here.
Do you all happen to know whats next after you mail the $400 fee frome the NVC?
-

So I called USCIS to see if we could file the I-485 and they told me NO because my husband had entered illegally. He said that now all i would have to wait for was for the NVC to send me something and then they would give him his appointment in the consulate in Mexico.
He also said the since my application was already in NVC that we are almost probably done with our process (I guess)!
What do you all think???
He also said that if they did approve him in Mexcio that he wouldnt have to worry about anything cause he would just come in as a permanent resident back to the US.
-
Okay my I-130 was approved.
But now i dont know which application to file for, there are two
I-485
I-485A
Which is the one i have to file for?
My husband has been here is the US for about 8 years almost.
Can some one please tell me what to do?
-
How does the NVC get involved in an AOS case?
Correct me if I'm wrong -
Your husband is already in the US, right? And you got married while he was on overstay? He is still here?
The correct path to legalize his status here is to file an I-130, I-485, I-485 Supplement A with all the documentation showing validity of the marriage. You can also file for I-765 while the I-485 is being processed. What I am hearing you say is that you have filed and gotten an I-130 approved. What does the I-130 approval notice say? It SHOULD say that the beneficiary is residing in the US and will be adjusting status. I know my friend did this last year for his wife and she didn't leave the country, go back to mexico, and have to get a visa, they did a straight up AOS with the $1000 penalty.
This appears to be a straight AOS from "other" status, meaning it does not belong in the K3 forum at allI'm moving this to the K-3 forum but i'm not sure that's where it belongs.VJ Organizers please feel free to move it again if necessary.
Startz87... we need to know what kind of visa you applied for in order to help you better. You can learn more about the kinds of visas as well as the correct forms to file here.
Also, Internet etiquette considers typing in all caps 'yelling'.
Please turn off your caps lock when posting in forums.
Thanks and welcome to VJ.
Yes my husband is already here is the US. He has been here for almost 8 years i wanna say.
The only application i filed was the I-130. To Tell you the truth i dont know what the letter says i have not received it yet.
On the USCIS page it only says to follow anything that the letter tells me. I will probably get it today since they sent it on Dec 1st.

Did you file an I-485 with your I-130?
Overstays or beneficiaries who have been working unlawfully normally file I-130, I485, and I-485 Supplement A (unfortunately there is a penalty of $1000 with the I-485A for overstay and/or working unlawfully).
From the instructions for I-485 Supplement A (which is what your husband appears, without any other information, to fall under):
Section 245(i) of the Act allows certain aliens to file for adjustment of status upon payment of a penalty fee of $1,000, even though some of the conditions required by section 245(a) and © of the Act are not met. Aliens in the United States who have an immigrant visa immediately available, but who entered the United States without inspection, remained in the United States past the period of admission, worked unlawfully, or are otherwise ineligible for adjustment of status under section 245© of the Act must submit this form along with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
The advice to consult an attorney is good advice, but if you have not filed the I-485 for AOS, and assuming that you, the spouse, are a UC citizen, this will likely be your next step. The approval notice for the I-130 petition along with proof of your citizenship is an attachment for the I-485 which will meet the requirement for "immigrant visa immediately available" for him.
NO THE ONLY THING I FILED WAS THE I-130.
SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND DO THE I-145???
We mailed out our application for I-130 in May 08 it was pending for 6 months. on Dec 1st i got an email saying that it was approved.Can anyone tell me what is next.

Please anyone help!!
Hey glad to see someone else from Mexico with a similar timeline!! Our I-130 was approved November 26th. We have a local attorney. My husband is too illegal and has been here for 10 years. He'll have to file a waiver and i heard it's basically impossible without an attorney.
I KNOW GOOD TO KNOW FOR ME TOO THAT THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE FROM MEXICO TOO.
I HAVENT GOT AN ATTORNEY YET CAUSE I DONT KNOW IF IT IS NECESSARY.
WHAT PART OF MEXICO?
He's from Oaxaca.... and your husband?? I would advise an attorney since he's been here so long illegally. From what we've been told, the next step is the Fee Bill Package; Sponsorship Package; then the Waiver. After that, just wait until the interview. We will be flying into El Paso and taking a taxi over to Juarez. Maybe we'll get lucky and have the same interview date. I'd like to know someone else while i'm there
He is from Palau Coahuila.
I guess i am going to have to look into getting an attorney.
yeah hopefully we do get it the same day.
Online mines says they sent it out on Dec.1 but i havent got nothing in the mail yet. Does the new number come with this letter?

You may wish to consult an attorney then...sorry but I have not been through this and can not help. You may need a waiver though because of the overstay. I would recommend an attorney.
ALRIGHT THANKS

Need more info. Are you in the US already and adjusting status or are you seeking a CR-1/IR-1 visa?
If the later then check out the shortcuts on wiki. Your approved petition will now be forewarded to the NVC. Wait to get a case number and start collecting the required documents. Good Luck!
YEAH WE ARE BOTH HERE IN TEXAS. HE HAS BEEN OUT HERE ILLEGAL FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS ALREADY.
