Waiting for I-130 Receipt Notice still...

[simondog]

Maybe Name Change caused RFE ?

RFE could be for any reason. Since you have expedited the case, they may ask for more evidence.

If you register online with USCIS, probably you may see the updates and emails, but not guaranteed.

I think I found what they might want for RFE. Court order for name change. I changed my name when I become a USC. My lawyer didnt say anything about this. Maybe this could be it ? How is it possible not to get a RFE notice ? Lost in the mail ? OR they just forgot the send me one ?

We received the approvals from USCIS. Here's the timeline:

8/24/07 - I-130 Received at USCIS CSC
10/3/07 - I-797 Receipt Notice for I-130
10/15/07 - I-129F (K-3) Received at USCIS CSC
10/17/07 - I-797 Receipt Notice for I-129F
4/3/08 - Approval Notice Mailed for both I-130 and I-129F

I read a similar case where it seems the approvals were sent exactly six months from the date of the receipt notice. Looks like there's variation on how USCIS is processing cases.

What are the next steps? What forms and documents will be requested by NVC? How are they going to process I-130 vs. I-129F? Is Form DS156 and DS156K for nonimmigrant K-3 visa required right now or only at the time of interview? What are the up-to-date processing times for NVC and the timeline for Bombay to send the packets? Is anybody aware of Bombay's requirement to submit all documents to VFS 10-15 days prior to interview date?

Congratulations Cincy !!!

Hi CTK3,

Thanks much. Yes, I sent my application to Nebraska and it was then transferred to Chicago Lock Box for Processing. Few months later, I received the receipts date from CSC. I still don't believe the petitions were approved before the processing dates shown in March newsletter. I will wait until I receive the approval notice in the mail to be sure about this. I have read quite a few irregularities in online notifications.

Thanks for the link. I will keep you updated.

Hi Nitshrut,

what did they say on the approval notice as to what will happen next?

[nitshrut]

its says they have transfer to NVC...
and wait at least 90 days before calling NVC

[Cincy]

Nitshrut,

Give NVC 2-3 weeks to receive the cases. Did you file I-129F (K-3) as well or just I-130?

[nitshrut]

i only did i-130..

cant wait now its been such a long time ..

Approval Notice received today

Hi All,

CTK3 please find my info below. I have a lot of post approval question that i need to ask and will be posting as soon as someone answers my I-864 question.

Receipt date - January 25, 2008
Priority date - November 21, 2007
Approval Notice date - April 3, 2008

CTK3, do note that I have filed two seperate petitions and I am receiving 2 seperate receipts. So, it will be wise to have 2 entries in the spreadsheet . Just a thought.

Confused!

Vermont service center is getting on my nerves. This is taking too long.

Good luck guys, CSC is moving very fast now ! Happy for you, guys !

[runner83]

Thanks CTK3,

I hope VSC takes a cue out of CSC and speed up processing. Looking at the spreadsheet it appears as it all but one CSC petitions has been approved and none for VSC. I hope everyone receives approval as soon as possible.

Regards,

Just as an update: I am still waiting for the next NOA.
