Hey John

I had a similar issue in which I had to make some edits to the online profile. Please note that we cannot make any edits to the profile on our own. What I did was that I called up the help desk (The number is available on the website). They asked me to send a detailed email to the address provided on their website of the issue. I did that and within 4 days I received confirmation that my profile was edited as per my request. I would recommend you to do the same.

Hope that helps!!!

hello , i want to know if it's possible to send scanned copy of translation of( marriage certificate, birth certificate) to the nvc or it could cause a Rfe. My wife already have original of both document just , she just need translation that i am about to scann and send by email. i hear that sometime scanned copy can cause rfe so what about scanned copy of translation?

im not sure if you will be getting an RFE for that but it would be best to mail and authenticated copy (translated) to them as well other than just scanning it.

im a bit sad for this thread is slowly fading... what is happening?

dont be nervous.. its not even worth the sleepless nights.

my hubby was being asked 4 very simple questions

1. where is your wife/petitioner working and what position?

2. address of your wife/petitioner?

3. who is your wife living with in this address?

4. when is your wedding anniversary?

VISA APPROVED!

i just wondering how long do i have to wait until my case will shown in USCIS system, 1month after we filed, 2months?? cos i tried many time to check my case, and the system didn't detect my case number. even in the level of acceptance. meanwhile i read in the website, they said: "The acceptance step is typically completed within 2 business days of when the application is received" i start to worried if theres something happen with my case.

woww, thats good news.. thanks miraya..

thanks mitch, this process get me frustrated.. wish everything will be oke. cross my finger. :innocent:

you'll get through this.... promise... it will just take time.

i was thinking and feeling the same exact way before... but now, im reaping the happiness that i sow with agony and patience (including almost giving up and going back home)

nathalya,

i was basing all my answer from my own experience but miraya was saying that they already shorten the process... lets both cross our fingers for this to be faster than before.... lets assume you'll be approved in 4-6 months... then the next thing to do is to wait for NVC to generate case#.

woww... this thread start to disappears...

guys.. how long do i have to wait until my current case status appears in USCIS website system?

today nothing much i can do, and so i tried to check my current case status in USCIS website. and its says " Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."

my hubby received hard copy of NOA 1 last 25th july. and i put the correct case number, but the result, my case can not be found at the system. whats going on...??

sorry if i become so anxious and impatient, i really2 new in this proses.. thanks for any advice.

your application is still with USCIS and they just received that...(you just got your receipt right) as what ive said, it might take 2-3 years for USCIS to approve your case and will be transfered to NVC for your visa application and thats where its gonna stay until your priority date will be current. you have all your time to go to Canada for your vacation. im roughly estimating, give it about 2-3 years until you'll start submitting documents to NATIONAL VISA CENTER.

After received NOA1, then what should i do? how long have to wait? is there any chance to speed up the process?

next month we plan to meet in canada, spend time together for our second honeymoon then, my hubby back to NYC.

but i have plan to stay there couple of months so my hubby can visit me at weekend, is that ok? is that will give any bad effect latter? i need advice from you guys.. im dying here.. miss my hubby so much !

i dont want to live separate with my husband to long.

let me make things clear for myself nathalya okay? just want to make sure your is a legal permanent resident/ from NOA1 - NOA2 (uscis to approved the application) will take more or less 2 years. so you have all your time to visit canada if you can....

Hi Mitch, my hubby receive sms from USCIS this morning said :

USCIS:Your application was received. Receipt # EAC1190271962. Official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) to follow in mail. Msg & Data rates may apply. DO NOT REPLY.

is that NOA 1? based on that information what is my PD? i dont see any date mention in that sms. thanks mitch for ur help.

N4th4ly4.

your first notice should not say your priority date but take note, usually, normally,... your receipt date that is coming in the mail if your priority date. but thats not gonna show till your approval letter (NOA2)

lets not let this thread fade away... im still here and still helping you guys row this boat for the whole group to be in the PORT and off we all go and live happily ever after!

Now, this is the sweetest news i have heard in recent times! I am over the moon for you sister. Just thought I'ld ask: Didn't your stepson come along anymore? I thought it was meant to be the 2 of them? am i missing something? Anyways, reply me if you got a moment of break from all the happiness around you. This is good; Life is good.

Yes, stepson is here too.....

He got here tuesday night (july 12)... i cant still absorb the whole idea of him being here. everytime we go somewhere, i cant help myself but to glance to my passenger side to make sure its REAL that he's here. we even spent our first weekend together with my family in San Francisco and it was the best ever....

thank you guys for everything! i couldnt have done this without you all.

p.s he already got his welcome letter too!

GBU.

hello nathalya, my journey wasnt an easy and good one. early of 2010, my priority date was already current and some of theme only took 6 months to finish but i got caught up with my papers and here comes the retrogression. gurl, in order to appreciate things more, things wont be easy and fast.... it'll be slow and hard but hang in there, the reward is more than worth it.

to chaks and raymon!

this journey has come to an end and the next road is about to merge! hahahahha.... another charter is here to begin....

im so thankful for your being you guys! trully - friend in need is a friend indeed!

Wow!! I followed your journey and am happy to know that there is happiness at the end. It is inspiring to know that after all the waiting and frustration, our patience will triump. All the best and have a happy life

its good to know that you are haging into the idea of getting the greatest happiness after all these... be inspired by our stories for others will be inspired by yours soon too!

thanks~ but it's been 6 months since my i-130 got approved, and we still haven't receive the case number from NVC...

how are things going with you? has your hubby got his visa?

hello, everything is just perfect. hubby will be here tomorrow!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS MIAMI_BOY!!! time for medical exam!

hello you guys, its been the longest wait ever...... my husband had his interview june 28 and till now, we still dont have his visa.... it was a bad timing since we have this holiday for the 4th of july. ... i hope we'll have it this week so he'll be here next week after the PDOS and all......

hi Mitch,

congrats!

i am new here, could you tell me what LPR means? my husband is a green-card holder. he filed i-130 for me and i have been in the US since we married. the i-130 got approved in Jan. 2011, but we haven't received the case number from NVC yet. i have no idea what we should do next.

LPR - means: Legal Permanent Resident

just wait for NVC to generate a case number... and they will send stuff for you guys to fill up and requirements to submit

but for now, all we can do is to wait.

Hey Mitch.. Congrats.. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Its so heartening to hear this news from you... I wanted to be the first to catch it but i guess... anywways.. i am really happy for you.. in your heart you always know thats its gonna go through and there will be no hiccups.. but you can't rest till you reach your destination.

I wish you and your family all the best. Awesome news. Keep posting.

Thank you very much TWULF.... thank you... you were one of the most helpful people in this thread. and i totally thank you....

and just to say this, im not done with whatever journey we have till he's here with me.

Hopefully they will get their visa on time and available slot for PDOS.. i can smell a sweet reunion sooner..

Rey, how are u and family? hope everything is fine... regards..Chakadoll ni

OOOOOhhhhhh - mmmmyyyyy - ggggoooodnesss chaks, we missed you here... how is the pregnancy going???

i know!!! been praying for all of these... everything is fine... just so excited that it seems that my day is been slow.

Hi kathleen,

Wify and son doing good. Just so happy to know Mitch is almost done.

How are you?? last time i heard you have a something in your tummy, am i correct?

something? or shall we say someone??? a caviar?

You should have at least give it 2 weeks time, but hopefully they will get their VISA by monday and schedule the PDOS by wed. IF they still have available slots for that week. Advise hubby to check when them, at least you still have time to change their ticket.

Im trying to check it with PDOS and i believe they go by schedule now...(anyone that is traveling to USA, THURSDAY is the only day to have their PDOS done.) my aunt is working in the AIRPORT and was telling me that we can have emergency PDOS in the airport as well. and also, there is a choice of going to cebu for a walk in PDOS.

good thing by hubby did not pay for the ticket yet, he was thinking of just waiting for the visa which is a great move.

Hello Mitch,

How did everything went with the medical and interview? hopefully he will be here soon.. can't wait for your family to be together. God is really good. Keep us posted.

i already got their tickets for JULY 8 which is next friday.. their visa is not there yet since its just been 2 days after their interview. i know for the fact that they have to have their pre-departure seminar after

do you guys think we will make it on time????

Congrats Mitch...dugaya nimo ni post oi, nakuyawan pud ko dah. Abi naku nag problema napud ka sa imo papers..Anyways, congrats and always nice to see a happy ending after a long and frustratating journey. So happy for and your family and finally a new chapter in life.

HAPPY ENDING INDEED!!

thanks Raymon, indeed!

but i have a slight worry about this ending. my husband was saying that he did not pay anything for the delivery. they took all his residency information on where to deliver it, phone numbers and all but did not pay anything..... im a bit worried and wondering.

he was saying that the person infront of him and next to him did not pay either. due to being so happy and excited plus still nervous, he wasnt able to ask....

anyone about this?

Mitch, i am so happy for you. Congratulations. If anyone deserves this, tis you. Enjoy. All the very best in life.

and you too.... i have to say thank you too... for being here as always.......
