Manny11- whats your mom's status now? seems to be a long time for I130 approval, no?
Hi everyone. I filed for my mom and it took the USCIS 2 months to send the approval notice to the NVC. I am still waiting for the letter but in the mean time i just want to gather the documents that My mom will need so we save some time. Since most of you are already past this point, maybe you can help me out. thanks.
130 Petition (for Mother)
- 11/19/12: I-130 Sent via USPS to Chicago
- 12/03/12: NOA Rec'd.
- 02/08/13: NOA 2 approved
- 04/08/13: NVC received the NOA ( No letter yet)
I-130 for my parents is approved and i have paid Affidavit of Support Fees.
I was able to print Document Cover Sheet and Fee Payment Receipt online. But i dont know what to do next
I have received DS-3032, and i wish to appoint myself as agent of my parents. Hence i will have them sign that form and send it to the address mentioned. Is this correct procedure
Also since NVC or USCIS did not provide any directions, i myself printed a PDF version of affidavit of support form, filled it out and collected documents. Should i email this or should i mail this?
What are next steps to apply for visa?
Thank you for starting this thread! I'm currently filing I-130 for my mother. I have one question though... My mom currently has a non-immigrant US visa(B-2 for 3 years). Can I still file I-130 petition for her immigration visa or do i have to wait until her B-2 visa is expired. And if i can:
1. Will they just replace her B-2 visa with an immigrant one?
2. Will she still be able to enter US while her petition is in process?
Thank you!
You can file for her now...her tourist isa will be replaced by the immgrant visa when she goes for the interview and when her immigration visa is granted.
There's no rule against not entering on a tourist visa while the petition is in process but since you show immigrant intent when you apply for her GC,she may be stopped at the point of entry on grounds that she may not go back. It takes about a year for the process to complete,so it's safer to wait and visit once immigrant visa is granted.

Hi Smile1,
after the interview your parents received what kind of documentation? Simply a visa to enter the country? They received permission to work and social security number? Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi,
Their passports were kept at the consulate for visa stamping and they were told that they have been granted visa. After 3 days,they received the passports in mail with the immigration visa stamp on their passports and a paper sheet attached to each passport with A nos.( the no. On the green card). The actual GC will arrive in mail after they come to the US and they have to apply for SSN here.

Dear Forum Members,
How is the process flow of I-130 (CP) during the initial review? When the case is picked up by NBC (or MSC) for the initial processing, will it later be passed to TSC or VSC? or Will it be passed to local office to petitioner's address?
Trying to see process times for I-130, there are only options to see data for TSC and VSC, nothing for NBC/MSC or any of the local offices. Are all cases first picked up by NBC/MSC? Also (assuming there will be no RFE) how much time is the average for the case being approved and passed to NVC? Thanks for your help and best wishes for everybody's case(s).
