It has been two weeks since the California Service Center approved the I-130 petition on July 9. The file took one week to transit from California to National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire. (You wonder how on earth files are still moving around physically in this computer age.)

However, NVC seems to move really fast, they received the file on June 15, we filed an expedite request on July 16, they generated the choice of agent and AOS fee bill on July 17, and this forms are sent out immediately, the big boy has received them on Monday July 21. The best thing happened today July 24, they approved the expedite request!

Which means NVC is forwarding the file to KL immediately. The normal procedure is to pay fees to NVC, wait for the fee processing, then submit documents and wait for documents verification, and that can take another 3-6 months before an interview appointment can be granted!

With the expedite request being approved, we are paying fees and submit documents to the KL consular. Since there is no backup of immigrant visa applications at KL consular, it should moves very fast from now onwards.

Bravo! Alright, at least we know not all government agencies are as rotten as USCIS. This jokers have caused much stress in the last four months, certainly would need wrinkle cream for all the lines result from that! After four months of dealing with the jokers who work at turtle speed, am impressed with the efficiency of NVC!
