NVC expedite
Hello everyone, Does anyone have the same experience to share with me? I have sent a request to NVC regarding the expediting of my son's case. However, they sent me this email: "To Whom it Concerns, We cannot expedite the processing of your petition, because there is no visa number currently available. The petition's priority date determines when a visa number is available for the principal applicant. The priority date is the date when the petition was: · Filed at a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office, or · Submitted to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate General abroad. · (For employment-based petitions) The date the labor certification application was received by the Department of Labor (DOL). For more information about which priority dates are ready for processing, you can: · Call the Department of State's pre-recorded cut-off date announcement at (202) 485-7699. · Visit the Department of State's online Visa Bulletin at https://usvisas.state.gov/visabulletin. Please note that only the U.S. Embassy or Consulate has the ability to approve or deny expedite requests. The applicant should not make any firm plans, such as disposing of property, giving up jobs, or making travel arrangements at this time." what does it mean? Is it mean that I can send my request to the embassy? Thank you for helping me. #NVC #Expedite

How does USCIS change of address affect my I-485 application timeline?
Back in Feb 2022, we filed I-485 and I-130 concurrently for my permanent resident application, with my wife, a naturalized US citizen, being the petitioner. Our case was transferred to the Chicago FO on 07/01/2022. The I-130 application was approved on 02/28/2023 and I received the medical RFE on 02/09/2023. We also knew from AskEmma back then that our interview has been waived. According to UPS, our I-693 response was delivered and signed by the Chicago FO on 04/05/2023. Until today (06/13/2023), there's no status update on my USCIS account (still showing request for evidence was sent). We have reached out on AskEmma for an expedition request, as well as contacted the Chicago FO through congressional liaison but just received some boilerplate response :-/ My wife and I have just graduated and would need to relocate to the LA county in a few weeks. Given that we are so far along into the I-485 application, how does the change of address affect our application timeline? Will our case be transferred to a different field office? Would it help if we update our physical address, but keep a mailing address in Chicago? Thank you so much for your help and look forward to hearing back from you soon :-) #i485 #i130 #uscis #nvc

Ready to Upload Documents (NVC Timeline)
June 2 midnight, we received our i130 approval. June 5, USCIS case status: case is sent to Deparment of State. June 6 morning, we received the NVC welcome letter (sent to both me and my wife via email) In the NVC welcome letter, there are the NVC case number and Invoice ID number, both of which you will need to log in the CEAC system. June 6 evening, we logged in the CEAC system and paid the fees. (NOTE: petitioner fee and applicant fee need to be paid separately, credit cards NOT accepted) Then the fees will be processed. During this time it showed ‘IN PROCESS’ on CEAC. June 10, fees are received and it says ‘PAID’ on CEAC. Now we can start uploading the documents for NVC. - petitioner’s financial documents - applicant’s DS260 form - applicant’s civil documents #NVC #CR1 #marriage #i130 #timeline
