Tayna on 2021-07-09 said:Congrats, was really fast! Did you expedited your case?
Nathanzehr on 2021-07-09 said:Thanks! Yes, it was much faster than we were expecting! We’re actually not planning on moving for a while, so we may have to delay the application a bit.
We didn’t expedite it, but we’ve gone through a similar process to prove US citizenship for our two kids that were born here in China, so maybe the fact that we had those two already approved made this process faster. I don’t know though, just a guess.
Tayna on 2021-07-09 said:Thanks for replying. Great to know, me and my husband are now in a similar process trying to get the CRBA for our baby, I hope the same happens to us! :D
Nathanzehr on 2021-07-09 said:Yes, hopefully it does! Good luck! I found that if you have everything in place it was a fairly simple process.
JMac7486 on 2021-07-11 said:Happy I found your timeline. I filed the i130 for my wife on June 24th. It gets a bit discouraging read some of the wait times in the forums. Are you planning to go through Beijing? I've heard immigration visas can only be done through Guangzhou.
Nathanzehr on 2021-07-12 said:Yes, planning to do Beijing, as that is where we live. In my email from the NVC it says this: "Once you have completed your case, we will schedule your case for a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General in GUANGZHOU, CHIN." The first time I read that, I thought that only meant Guangzhou. They make it sound like they're saying you can only do it in Guangzhou, but of course embassies are only in the capital, so it seems reasonable that Beijing is okay.
And yes, that's why we started the process earlier! Seems it's much easier to delay the process than to speed it up, so better safe than sorry!
Good luck to you! Hopefully it all works out quickly and easily!
Nathanzehr on 2021-07-12 said:Did you get routed to the Nebraska office? That one seems to be much much faster. Hopefully it's the case for you as well.
JMac7486 on 2021-08-04 said:Yes, it says Nebraska on our NOA1. VJ timelines say it is taking about 122 days for for I130 approval, so we're expecting an October NOA2. Although we would like to finish the process as soon as possible, we don't plan to move until next spring so I'm OK with out current timeline haha
*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.
