I-130 Petition for Parents of US Citizens through Consular Processing.

Hi Adriana,
Good luck with your case, one question for you: your signature says I-130 approved Feb 8 2013, and on July 3rd you said you just got the NVC letter. Really? It takes five months for the approved paperwork to get to NVC from USCIS? Based on other people's data, I thought it is in the order of 10 days or so. Thanks.

I though it'd be 2 weeks max, but for some reason (they never told me why), my documents got retain at the San Antonio, Tx office (I dont know what they meant by "retain") during all those months, I called NVC and USCIS asking for my petition, I though they lost it, and it took about 3 months for them to find out it was retain, after that, it took about a month for me to get the letter from NVC with the AoS fee and all that. I guess I just had bad luck :/
 
Im petitioning my mom, but I do not work, so my hubby is the join sponsor, which I 864 should we fill out? and what documents do I send with the AoS?

Thanks for your reply Adriana and sorry to hear about this experience. Hope the rest of the path is smooth and fast for your case.
 
Me and my wife were in the usa on b1/b2 visas respectively in 1997 and overstayed our legal stay by 92 days. My wife also delivered my son who is now a USC.
after returning to India were declined non-immigrant visa twice. Lastly under 214 (b) for obvious reasons.
I wanted to know,
when my son turns 21 yrs and applies for us to immigrate to USA in coming few years,
What are the chances of getting the case approved in consular processing?
There in no 3 yrs or 10 years ineligibility bar.

As the laws are now, a 214(b) denial only applies to non-immigrant visas and is only for the current application. 214(b) means you didn't have enough proof to show to the consular officer that overcomes immigrant-intent.

Thanx dhlunar!
I wanted to know- what effect could our overstay of 92 days that too 20 years back could have on our immigrant petition by our son

looking at the newest update of processing time for I-130 on USCIS website, the May 31 2013 update, it shows the National Average standing at 13.3 months. Is that right? It used be like 6-7 months from the previous update.

No that is not correct. USCIS is not being straight forward regarding the current processing of stand alone I-130. What had happened was a majority of stand alone I-130 were being processed at California and Vermont. However due to the backlog, in October 2012 all of I-130 filed after August 15, 2013 (I think, not positive on the date) were sent to NBC. NBC then distributed them to the local field offices to be adjudicated. The field office is determined by the zip code of the petitioner. This was to be a temporary measure until NBC was set up in its new satellite office in Overland Park, KS with the staff to handle I-130 and I-90. USCIS Tier 1 agents on the 800 number have no further information regarding the processing. Workflow Transfer: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=e7801c2c9be44210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD
Page 3 to 5 of this pdf, which is the notes from a April 2013 engagement with AILA representatives explains the current I-130 process (as of April) as in regards to the field offices and the cases being transfer to NVC when approved: http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Outreach...13/April 2013/AILA-FieldOps_Meeting041113.pdf


My wife had an INFOPASS appointment at the local field office about 3 weeks ago in regards to the two I-130 she filed for her mom and dad. She did INFOPASS since a Tier 1 agent on the 800 number wasn't able to provide information and refused to transfer her to an Immigration Information Officer. According to the IIO she spoke with, NBC has a backlog of I-130 so they are sending them out in batches to to the field offices to adjudicate them. The IIO told my wife that as long as everything is in order the field office is pretty fast in making a decision once they are received from NBC. She also told my wife that they just finished the batch that was filed in March.
 
Thanks yaimalfonso, great that you case has followed the typical five month pattern, good luck with the rest of the processing.
 
Thanks dhlunar for all the detailed info, good to know them. Hope all cases are processed more or less within the five month goal.
 
finally! My mom is here

She arrived on the 18th. We started the paperwork in October 21st 2012. I m stocked and she is super happy as well! Good luck to everyone else!
 
Super happy!!!!

Just called the NVC before i went into a coma state... And apparently it is no big deal! it happens all the time! (amazing) all i had to do was exactly what i had already done. Send them an email with the copy of his first page of the passport and they will fix the name error. Wow. i pretty much almost died!!!
