Hi jeff and ian.
In all honesty i hope ian is right on this one ;-)
However just to let you know that the first email (from chicago on 15th aug) came from:
[email protected]
while the latest one (30th aug) came from:
[email protected]
so in my eyes still confused as ever ;-)

She then received a form about changing address (which aligns date wise with the second message on 30th Aug). The confusing thing however is that we have not requested an address change, so really confused. Could this just be an admin error?

Just if anyone had wondered, I did speak to an operator today and my case was completed on September 2nd.
Unsurprisingly the operator had never heard of "SIF". Consequently the fact I could still sign into the online payment system is nothing to worry about!
Here's hoping for an October interview, but who knows!

Congrats! What does that mean for you - that you'll get your case number soon? Or do you have that already? Have you scheduled your medical?

Could you be a little more specific about this form? Did it have a form number? A title? Can you quote any of it, anything more of the content than "about changing address"?

I had my medical yesterday at Knightsbridge Doctors (Bentinck Mansions) which I didn't think went too badly .
I'm pretty sure I have come across your posts before, have you recently had your interview? If so, how did it go?!

No, not QUITE - it's Thursday morning
Going to the big L tomorrow & staying at a friend's place since it's not easy to get there for 7ish from Cheltenham (even though it's not really that far...)
Put paper work together yesterday, was actually not as much as I thought....wonder if I'm missing anything,everybody else said they had tons of stuff!!! I think my hubby's Affidavit is by far the biggest part of it!!
When did you start your whole process?? if you've already had your medical, I'm almost sure you'll get your interview in October

The form was an AR-11 - change of address form. It was sent out due to an admin error. When my wife called USCIS she was informed that she had to send the AR-11 back to them, blank, however with a cover letter saying that the address has not changed.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the update. So, the mystery of the two notices is solved, yes? Your petition has been received and is awaiting processing (probably in the normal time frame).

I started the process March 3rd so just over 6 months now, just keep my fingers crossed for that October interview
Once again, good luck!

Re: I-130 Filing in USA - Join in here!
My Passport with my CR-1 Visa was delivered today! along with the infamous large white envelope (which is a lot bigger than i expected it to be). My interview was this past Friday so it arrive in less than a week, which im very pleased with, especially as the embassy was closed Monday.
Very happy to finally be done with this process, at least until I have to renew my greencard next year. Flying into New York on October 11 so not long to go now!

Just received an email with my interview date on it: 14th October at 10am! Cannot believe the end is in sight, I just hope it goes as smoothly as many of the others I have read on this forum
If anyone is interested in statistics: it has taken 7 months 11 days to get from NOA1 to Interview and 10 days from CC to interview email (interestingly I received the interview email in the second 'full' week of September, read into that what you want!).

Had my medical a few weeks ago and that went fine, still waiting on an interview date. In the meantime though I'm heading over on Friday for a week as it's our 1st anniversary on Sunday (I surprised my wife with the news just this evening).
