Zanzibar. On Tuesday Nov. 3 2009 AVR stated that my DS 230 was received on 0ct. 29 2009 same as yours. On Wednesday Nov. 5 2009 AVR stated that " I was missing information/incompleted form DS-230" when I call them in the morning, they told me that, they already received my DS-230 on 0ct. 29. 2009. On Thursday evening my login failed, and on Saturday AVR stated
that my case was completed on Nov.6 2009:D

I have two questions:

1. Once the I-130 is approved, does the case go automatically to the NVC?
The reason I ask that is because my I-130 was approved five (5) years
ago and I've been waiting for my priority date to become current, but when I called the NVC last week they told me they don't have my
case on file.


2. I followed instructions on the USCIS website and instructions provided here by members concerning the upgrade process of an I-130 when the pertitioner becomes a US citizen.

So, I mailed a letter along with notarized copies of the petitioner's naturalization certificate and the I-130 approval notice.

But, much to my surprise, the NVC in Portsmouth, NH sent the letter back to me saying that I needed to contact the USCIS to upgrade the petition. So, whose advice do I follow? Who's right?
 
I have a question regarding DS-230.
Here's a sequence os events

Oct 26 got an RFE for I-864
Oct 28 for IV Bill, Paid $ 400 for both parents
Send RFE response Nov 1st, delivered Nov 5th
Sent DS-230 (after payments cleared) on Nov 3rd, Delivered Nov 6th

On Nov 10th, NVC message says, Checklist letter response received.


What does it mean ? I864 RFE Response or DS 230 Response ?

Any one any idea ....
 
I understand after the case is completed, 4-5 days later the email is sent to the applicant/petitioner regarding the interview date.

i) Does the consular call the applicant regarding the medical & or do they sent any papers to schedule the medical ? If not can someone describe how one is informed about the medical. ( I have visited the NVC website and know who the panel doctors are)
ii) Anyone has any experience with Dhaka Consulate. Browsing this and other forums I see that the AP ( administrative processing ) can be treacherous (by default). My parent are under 60 and was wondering if they have to suffer the long wait as well.
iii) Anyone travelled back "home" to attend the interview with the parents and any insights.

Like all of you it's been long from my own I-130/485 to EAD to Green Card to I-751 to Citizenship to now parents I-130...and the journey continues.
BTW my timeline:

I-130 sent sometime February
I-130 approved sometime in August
DS3032 sent sometime in August
I-864 sent sometime September
DS230 Sent Nov 5 / Delivered Nov 6
DS230 Received Nov 10 per AVR
Case Complete:
Interview Date:
 
You usually get Checklist letter response received after they enter the appliacation in the system. Since you sent both RFE response and DS-230 it might be for one or the other...Call NVC and find out if they have accepted your I-864, if they have accepted your I-864 then the checklist letter response is for DS-230.

Hope this helps....Follow the below website for updates and most of your questions are answered.....

zoomz00m,

Congratulations on your approvals. I am still hanging in there...my DS-230 was sent before yours...hope i will get good news soon....

For Q1: Consulate will not call applicant. Your parents have to schedule medical with the panel doctors once interview is scheduled.

For Q2: Visit the following website for others who are from Bangladesh and their applications got approved and probably they will help you out with your parents medicals related questions......

Changing I-130 consular processing

I am a U.S. citizen and applied I-130 through consular processing for my mother on Nov 5th,2009. I live in Minneapolis and received an acknowledgement from immigration office in CA. I am thinking of bringing my mother to U.S in January 2010 and file I-485 for her. Since I specified consular processing in I-130 and I-130 has notyet approved, can I file I-485 for her. How can I change consular processing which was specified in I-130.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I-485 is for those Relatives that are alredy in USA. Consular Processing is the only option you have. There is nothing that can be done but to wait. If there was a possibility, I could have brought my spouse to USA 2 months back

Thanks
 
Pls. help

Hello Friends -
As you can see from my profile I am the primary on H1B (9th yr), with my spouse on EAD. 485 thru Employer pending for million years.. same saga as everyone in here from India.
In 2002 or 2003 my mother-in-law (US citizen) had filed for immigration petition (I-130) for my husband. This evening thru USCIS email system, we got notified that his I-130 has been approved. I am not sure what does it mean.. what does I-130 mean and what happens next and what are we supposed to do. I hope not.. wait for another 9 years for India numbers to be current.. Can someone please guide me in the right directions.
Thanks a lot

It just means that the relative petition has been approved. However, you (and your husband) must wait for the priority date to become current. For Dec 09, the current PD is 22 May 2001. So, it's about two years before your husband can file 485.
