Hi guys, CR-1 filer here. NVC completed my case this week, what is the average time from case completion to the interview appointment date? Since my case has just completed this week, when should I expect to get the appointment interview date email from NVC?

Thanks!

your looking at months maybe. my husband and i after july of 2011 our case was completed there , but it took us months to get in there . we had our interveiw in dec. and just got approved not too long ago . so plan to be ready for the long haul of waiting for interview. and even after that expect to wait even more to be approved . zawgyosama

Hi all!

I am confused about what I need for the police certificate from Egypt? What did you all have to do when you obtained them? Do you have to get stamps from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? How about translations? Can I get translations from the US at a notary or does it have to be from Egypt?

Thanks!

you must go to the police station there in egypt to get a police report on yourself. it's called a crimmial record . also, you must get it translated as well . if you are in the military , you must get them as well and have them translated as well. i'm not sure about the ministry of foreign affairs or a notary or why you need to get them from there . zawgyosama

Hi all,

We received our interview letter Jan 30. The letter said the NVC had forwarded our case on to the embassy. However, I called the NVC today (Feb 6) to confirm if the embassy had received our case yet. To my surprise, they said they had not mailed it yet and still had it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Our interview is a ways off (Mar 27), so I'm thinking maybe they are just taking their time to mail it. But I think it's kind of strange that they said in the letter it had been forwarded, when it has not.

The reason I'm concerned is because I'm hoping to rescheduled our interview for earlier, but the embassy won't talk to me until they have the case. Is there any way to get the NVC to get this thing in the mail?

Thanks for any help.

they will only talk to ya only until they have your case . and that is when you can reshedule it . also, it took my husband and i months to get our interview date so be prepared to wait for it. good luck !!!!!

they are saying on the news here that if you go to egypt then you can't be allowed back out of egypt . so i can't really say if it's ok to go or not . talk to the embassy to be reassured that you will be allowed to go back home . good luck !!!! to all that travel and be safe always !!!!!!!

Dear Friends,

First of all, i would like to thank all of you for supporting me, sharing useful information and experience.

I received my green card today, after 40 days of arrival. It's 10 years green card unconditional because I came through IR-1.

Since I came:

Got SSn after one month

Opened bank account after one month

Got credit card from capital one after one month

Got green card after 40 days

Edited my name in the SSn today and waiting for the new ssn card with shortened middle name

Preparing for the written test for the driving license

I think I can apply for medicad

What else?

aha, looking for a job, so pray for me.

What else, what else? dunno, if you have suggestions, I would be grateful.

Thanks again for helping me in my visa journey.

Take care

Hi everyone,

I got an email from the NVC stating that the immigrant petition i filed for my wife is now eligible. I recieved the AOS Processing Fee Bill Invoice and the DS-3032. What's next? Should we pay the AOS first or do we have to fill up the form DS-3032 or we can do both at the same time. I appreciate it very much.

FIRSTLY, FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK AND PAY THE FEE ONCE THAT IS APPROVED PAY THE OTHER FEE. IN THE LONG RUN AND WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO TO TEH EMBASSY IT WILL CUT YOUR PAPERWORK OUT FOR YA JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON'T OPEN THE PACKAGE FROM THE MEDICAL EXAMS AND PAY THEIR FEES . AND DON'T OPEN THE FOLDER THAT THEY SEND YA . LOLS .

hey all

my husband and i have been to consult with a few lawyers, they are really pricy, and we realize that what they are gonna do me and my husband can do it by ourselves, so we decided not to use a lawyer, do you guys think that its better to use a lawyer to accompany you to the interview? or does the lawyer need not be there?

I DON'T THINK HAVING A LAWYER WILL DO ANY GOOD. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN DOING OUR APPLICATION WITHOUT A LAWYER BCS ONE I CAN'T AFFORD ONE AND SECONDLY , WHAT CAN A LAWYER DO THAT YOU CAN'T DO ?

OUR INTERVIEW IS COMING UP ON DECEMBER THE 13TH I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES . INSHALLAH IT MEANS GOD WILLS THAT WE WILL BE APPROVED . THANK YOU, ZAWGYOSAMA

Hey guys, i filed I-130 for my husband and i am LPR. I filed it June 6, 2011 and its over five months already for the processing time. I called Ucis to follow and fortunately i received email from them

that my application is now forwarded to an officer for processing and any time i will be receiving NOA for this.

Is there anybody here got approval yet from the time they applied and what is the next step after filing I-130?

Thank you very much! :-)

as usual the goverment is slow. sorry to say that , but after the I-130 you will have to go to the next step and it's a hard one. may i ask which visas are you doing? my husband and i we waited for many months to get ours and to get approved from the I-130 APPLICATION. you can contact me at jennetteelshawesh@comcast.net if you have time to send an email or you can go to here for zawgyosama. wish ya the best of luck with your applications . zawgyosama

My lawyer doesn't explain things to me, his secretary always tells me that she has talked to my husband and he knows everything that he is supposed to do, so i am way out of loop with the whole thing. His 1st appointment was May 14th and he was denied because he entered the U.S. illegally. His 2nd interview was June 7th and they asked for more information. I submitted more information and he had his 3rd appointment February 25th and was issued his visa March 2nd...he recieved his visa June 13th but it was expired. So he recently went to Ciudad Juarez on July 19th and they told him that he would get his visa this week and then our lawyer said he has to make another appointment...but as i read on here there is packets...what are they??? I'm so out of the loop on everything. And when i ask the lawyer he doesn't explain them very well...so can someone please help!?!?!

i would tell your lawyer if they do not fill you in that you will get another lawyer . that shoud do it and get them to tell you everything. they hate to loose business.

23 days since rfe reply and no Noa2 :(

just wait more time . i remember how long my husband and i had to wait for ours. just think postive and you will get through all of this .

does anyone know if it will cost me to file a change of address to nvc ?

does anyone know if it will cost me to file at nvc if i choose to move? zawgyosama
