Any February 2011 I-130/I-485 filer yet?. . .let's track progress.

@staticfade56
864 was with NVC for 15 days before they sent word that we had a mistake and what a minor one at that. Seems my income on one line did not match exactly to the tax return to the exact dollar amount by a few usd even tho we are over the poverty line. I was surprised but there is a slight delay from that I guess and the 230 was recieved about a week ago but now word, if we passed that part.

We are waiting to "pass" all parts and get an IL hopefully soon.

@staticfade56 and melz400........How is your progress?

Good Luck to ALL!!
 
@TonyGman
That's too bad for your papers!! I hope they process it faster the next time!
No news for me at the moment. I didn't file the DS-230 yet. I have all of the documents except the police report for my husband. I should receive that on Tuesday. I will have it translated and then send everything in. I'll let you know when I submit everything. I did get a reminder that I have to submit that and they said it will take them about 20 days to process after they receive that form. I don't know if its really usually 20 days (maybe it could be less - hopefully not more!).

Good luck to you!
 
the USCIS website says that the New York office processing date for I-485 forms is September 28, 2010

I posted that on May 19th. The processing date is now October 19, 2010. That means that in nearly two months the processing date has moved forward only three weeks. Assuming they continue to move through cases at their current rate, it'll be another thirteen months before they process my application, which I originally filed in February. That'll be a total of eighteen months from application to green card. Fantastic.
 
Bosanci,

I am so sorry to hear what happened.. do you have any updates on your case? You are in my prayers?

GC Approved :)

I had my interview today and it went well, although examiner didn't say anything at the end like whether she approved or not, all she said was "you will hear our decision within 30 days", my husband and I were confident that we did pretty well and at the end of the day I got text/email -" saying card is in production" so it was a great relief. I would say just go through the forms G-325's, I-130 and I-485 thoroughly, she asked everything from that and also, in this forum there is attachment of Interview questions ( we went through each and every question, it helped a lot and I browsed online to see some sample questions) Interview lasted for 20 mins but we waited almost 1.5hrs to get our turn. Questions were really basic
-First she asked my husband - your wife's full name, wife's mother name,wife's father name, when did you meet, how did you meet, wedding date, reception date, how many guests..and I-130 q's
-Then she asked me - husband's full name, where does he work, ph number, what time he leaves for work and comes home and all I-485 's (yes/No questions)
- Joint proofs(what all listed in the interview letter, pretty much we had everything) - she was happy when I gave her stack of copies where it had both myname and my husband's name.
- She took couple of pictures (I had 2 sets of album and besides that I had 5 pictures printed out for the examiner, although she selected two pics)
That's it - as long as your confident and honest and have enough documents to show them, you need not to worry.

Over all it went pretty well, we were confident that it went well when we came out and after 3 hours we got text/email

Thanks to this forum and every one in this forum, it was a great feeling!

Let me know if you got any questions

I sent the DS-230 application and supporting documents yesterday. It arrived this morning at NVC. I'll let you know when I hear back.

Any feedback yet on your DS-230's? Do you have interview dates yet?

Hang in there guy, i know is tough but waiting and being positive is the only thing you can do right now and everything will turn out just fine.
 
Hey guys!

I am back in the country after the month long holiday :)

No news on the GC however the Dallas office is super backed up as of what I was told last by the NCSC before I left for India.

I was told they are 2 months behind hence I should hear something by next month.

I have not been able to stay updated on the forum unfortunately however my heart felt congratulations to each person who has received their GC & interview letters :D

I will be contacting the NCSC after 19th august in case I don't see any updates from them....

I am not worried anymore somehow ;) it all feels right and I am sure things will be fine!

All the best to those who are still waiting to hear on their progress, you got company :)
 
@Melz400

Did they already request the DS 230 from you, or are you sending it in on your own? I've been waiting for a request so I can send that. I think they are working through my other fees and I-864 right now, but I have the DS 230 ready to go.

Sorry, it's been ages. They did not send me a DS 230. They sent me a checklist because I requested one. Make sure you send in the original birthcertificate, police report, Certified copy of marriage and/or divorce of previous marriage- if you were, a copy of birthcertificate of all relatives intending to travel with you- siblings, kids etc. Also send in a copy of the biographic page of your passport.
