[quote=RANDYYING,365327]Hi Rob Trying to understand where your at in the process. Your attorney should of filed the I-130, you would get a receipt notice (I-797) about a week later. Then file the I-129F to the Service Center where the I-130 is pending with a receipt notice again in about a week. At this point your attorney is finished. After the I-129F is approved it is sent to the National Visa Center in Portsmouth, NH and I'm guessing thats where your papers are now. The next paper you should receive is an approvel notice from National Visa Center telling you what will happen next. What will happen is, they forward your petition to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou China. This takes about 6 months for the Consulate to send your spouse the first of 2 letters. After she completes the requirments in the first letter, Visa Applications, Medical exam, Passport to the U.S. etc. they will review and send the second letter with an interview date. This takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Attorneys should be telling their clients these things but I find so many people having the same problems. This was my reason for creating usvisatoolbox.com and collection case studies. It happen to one of my friends and as we branched out to other US Citizens who went to China for marriage we found more and more problems. In the newsletter you signed up to receive, I talk about Mark from Wisconsin who hired an attorney, it took 2 years and 8 months for his wife to get to the U.S. For my wife Ying, it took 8 months and I did the paperwork myself after my research. The interview went very well for my wife Ying. It was a breeze, but we were prepared. Boy, I can give you some stories about interviews and what others went through but I'll save you that for now. Anyway, did you get a approval notice from National yet? Randy[/quote]
