Yes, they kept her passport and photos. I just talked to someone whose wife was interviewed in my country also and he said that the procedure is that the consulate will fax the interview notes to NVC to approve it. The approval takes usually 48 hours and the visa is print and the applicant is called to pick it up. It may take up to 7 days. It is a usual procedure. I have my fingers crossed.
I-130 for Consular Processing

fbanna79,
I've being watching your case since the begining and you have no idea how much your posts here are helping me...i'm never tired to appreciate your patience and time.
I'm just curious...what questions they ask your mom?
Three easy questions from the DS230:
1- How many kids do you have in the US ? (We are two, both US citizen) --
2- When was the last time you saw your two sons (6 years)
3. Your son has a daughter, have you ever got to meet your grand daughter ?
As you can see, question were straight forward. Make sure the beneficiary knows what is in the DS230. It is very helpful.

Hi
Can you please let me know what Service center you sent your father i-130. I heard for Vermont service center it takes only 1-2 months for approval for parent I-130? 8 months is a long time. Also which district office (DO) are you with? Please respond.
hi r00724
congrats on the approval for your I-130. i got mine approved on Jan 29th. you should have the NVC Case # within 3days. Just call them to find out.

I am waiting for the Choice of Agent form now and the AOS now. by the way where r u from? i am from delhi, india.

Hi foochow,
I am from Karachi, Pakistan. Thanks for the #, I will definately call them tomorrow to find out the NVC case #. Please keep in touch so we can share the remaining process. You mentioned AOS, are you referring to I-864?
yes AOS Affidavit OF Support or I-864 same thing. keep in touch
The police certificate was from november 24, 2008. It usually expires after 3 months, but the consulate wants to make sure nothing has really changed in her background since the certifcate was established.

Thanks for the info. For New York city the normal time frame in parents I-130 is 2-3 months. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck with NVC and Embassy. Keep us posted.

As instructed by NVC, when you pay online you can print the form and send it along with the document cover sheet. They will never send you the I-864 or DS230 forms. At least, I never received any.
