I-130 for Consular Processing

Hi Raj,

Checking this thread after few months. I hope your parents now in US on greencard. My parents case was approved in March and they came to US last week. Passport stamped...so finally are over and we are able to enjoy togather.

One question I have. Did you appled for the SSN. I went SSN office, but they said that SSN will come automatically in few days. If it's not received in 21 days, then I should come to SSN office.


Did your parents got there SSN and the card...


Hope you guys are having fun...
 
Hi I-130 memebers,

I applied for I-130 for my brother and sister. I received RFE for my sister for birth certificate (as it was registered as a late entry) asking for secondary evidence like school records, hospital records etc. I have already submitted that and USCIS received the evidence as last update on the case is 5/18. USCIS sent the initial RFE at my old address EVEN I UPDATED the address by online tool and post office forwarded USCIS letter to my new address.
I am worried, if I may miss some other letters if they mail something else. What is the next step? Will I be receiving approval notice or the case will not be processed for years as it the wait time for siblings is very long? Should I just call customer service to ask if USCIS mailed anything else after RFE as the LUD is from 5/18 but the msg is the same from April 2010 when they asked for RFE.
Please, advise. Thank you very much in advance for the help.

Hi All,

Just got my N-400 approved, my oath ceremony is on 5/27. I filed an I-130 petition for my wife and daughter on Oct 2009 when I was still a green card holder. Once I get my naturalization certificate I will call USCIS to upgrade the case. Does anyone know:

- How long does it take to approve the I-130 once upgraded?
- How long does it take NVC to process the petition (once the I-130 are approved) and send to the consulate?

Thanks!!
 
Check out my timeline below:

Dec 8 2009 - Called USCIS to upgrade I-130.
Feb 24 2010 - I-130 approved.

Mar 23 2010 - NVC completed the Change of consulate I had requested.
Mar 23 2010 - NVC emailed me the IV fee letter.

Same thing happened to me. I called USICS and explained that I am now a US citizen. They told me I didn't have to send the AR-11 but I sent it anyway.
