Our case was straightforward. The hardest part was the wait between each stage as there is no official feedback from the various agencies as to when your file will be processed. Visa Journey was an invaluable resource to answer questions and to get hints as to when you pass through each gate in the process. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 175 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 378 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
