We have the I-797 which is the Notice of Receipt which we got a few days after filing the petition. Nothing since.

It's been almost 27 months now since my brother filed the I-130 for me. Obviously I know a visa number takes a decade or so to become available, but how long more do I need to wait for approval of the petition? I understood this to be around the 2 year mark so I am a little anxious we still...

I agree, superb piece of judgement. Obviously a lady of phenomenal intellect. She had less than a day to write it and it was very thoroughly executed. I especially loved the way she dissed White's infinitely inferior lack of legislative analysis. What a dig haha! When I read White's...

It means during the few days that the link was open to check results, 22000 people found out they "won". On the photo validator point, that just checks your picture is in the right dimensions/size. It doesn't check whether someone is posing correctly or background colours for instance...

For info, many Africans leaving US because of tough times. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12810828 (Credit to poster "Obama" for posting this last month originally)

Read the DV Instructions before people start accusing the Gov't something as serious as fraud or it will just backfire on you. If anything, it just shows the Dept of State's actions DISPROVES fraud. They could have kept silent, not done anything, just stick to the results. No one outside would...

Yes, my case is handled by CSC. I read VSC is mostly assigned where the USC is currently living Canada and files I-130 through embassy there. I think you're very lucky anyhow because when I log in to the uscis website, they give you processing times and for the CSC office, the chart comes up...

Namecheckvictim : Wow - 2 months for Approval Notice. That's extraordinarily quick. My understanding is that Approval Notice will usually take a couple of years to come through. Here's my timeline: Aug 1, 2010 : brother filed my I-130 Aug 13, 2010 : I-797 NOA We have not received the...

Appreciated, thanks. That will be $355 for us then.

I originally posted the below query in the July filers thread but decided maybe a thread on its own might get more attention. Perhaps other people might also benefit from the query. Answers appreciated as we want to file this week! Tks. ------------------------ Is the filing fee for the I-130...

Is the filing fee for the I-130 effective 13 July still $355? There is some discrepancy. Both $355 and $330 appear. See here http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1263.html#perm and here http://travel.state.gov/news/news_5078.html In the first link, underneath the column for...

Can someone assist. I saw in someone's signature they used USPS Pririoty Mail to post their I-130. Do you post this to the relevant POBOx address for your state or is it the other address in the instructions that is for courier/express deliveries (USCIS, Attn: FBAS, 131 South Dearborn - 3rd...

Hi Can I get an idea what most people do here when filing the I-130? My brother is the USC filing for me. I-485 not filed as I am outside US. Do you all tend to just send to the PO Box for petitioner's relevant state or do people prefer sending to the courier address (and if so, is it the...

I can empatize but unfortunately I believe the process is truly random. If they actually do pick and choose, I will be at the top of the pile. I am Cambridge educated, have a very high net worth in cash+assets and by every other account, am someone who will absolutely fit in with no problems...

Many thanks both, that's really put my mind at ease. Re: the latter suggestion, I have no plans to travel there currently so rather than waste time, he will get the I-130 in once I have my B2. Regards.

Now I know the general wisdom is that I should get a B2 tourist visa before my brother files an I-130 for me. However, and this is a big however, I don't want to take the risk of being rejected for a B2 and have that appear as a big red mark against me in their books. I am not saying I will be...

What an absolute twat. Read your own posts.

Get your facts right if you are trying to weedle out of your own ignorance. $775 is clearly CP, AOS is more costly. So nothing in the letter suggests AOS at all.

1. He never said he paid so how can you say this? In fact, his case is clearly CP since he mentions the Swedish embassy so obviously the fee will only be collected if or when he turns up on interview day. 2. No one should advise someone when there is a serious issue to just be casual, turn up...

Delusional if you think this and very misleading to people. The streets of America are NOT paved with gold. Employers prefer people with local experience so an immigrant will never be able to match peer level. A large proportion of immigrants probably end up worse off economically. People just...
