Dhaka consulate has excessive workloads next two months , my friend spoke to NVc several time but they have been delaying the interview since November. his wife's interview might go up to February . Lot of DV applicants and a huge number of F2 , Saudi Arabia doesn't have much immigrants applications

NVC assigned a case number

My case was forwarded on Nov 23, 2010 from USCIS to NVC & just received a case number assigned by NVC yesterday. It took about a week for me. Hope the next packages will be sent fast too. Can anyone tell me what can I expect to receive step by step from NVC?

how to change the case number or consular office with NVC?

Thanks @diar48 for your worth information passed to me. I understood that it could be easier to get the process done in saudi US consulate than Dhaka. But I just have noticed that the case number starts with DHK. Therefore NVC is going to forward the case to Dhaka consular section for further processings. Do you think I have an option to change the consular office at Saudi instead of Dhaka? If so, please let me know how can I request NVC to do that for me? Thanks again for your time & kind reply.

The best thing to do is send all your documents as and when NVC asks you from Saudi Arabia. When NVC schedules the interview for you in your home country they will give you atleast 30-25 day notice till your interview date so then you can travel to your home country.

Good luck.

Thanks for your kind reply & help me out with my queries.
Can I assume that NVC & Consular process could be ended up within next 3 months if everything goes in order?
Furthermore, you have given me an important point about to make sure the visa validity of my current country before I ask NVC to forward the case over here. In that case I better go to my home country before the consular process starts. Now I am wondering - should I arrange with my employer to leave from Saudi Arabia (Working place) & travel to Bangladesh (Homeland) in two months for further consular process.

Hi guys
So I've been checking my case status on the USCIS website and my file hasn't been updated since October 3rd, so thats 2 months now. Is this normal before expecting an approval of I-130?
so worried!

Hi sahsan!

My PD is August 5, 2010. I just found a person with PD August 26 on another form whose case just got approved by California Service center. I am also getting a little worried because my case also has not been approved yet. :s and it is still under "initial review" status

Really?! I'm really worried now. Do you think we should contact USCIS? Could you ask that person from the other forum if he or she had their file updated every month online?

does anyone have any suggestions?

It took them to get mine approved after 5 months and a half, I say that if it's 6 months then call them up and see what they say. My PD is March 22 and i got my I-130 approved on Sept. 13 so it takes them a while. For some people it might be faster.

thanks! yea, its just nerve racking when you see other people's getting approved fast. Just hoping the dates don't retrogress :/.

One more thing. When you checked your file status online, how often was your file updated?

His status was "initial review" all the time then suddenly it was approved and its status was in post decision activity according to him.

My case was last updated in August. That is it!
