So two weeks ago the Processing Times on the website (http://www.usembassy.org.uk/dhs/uscis/i130filing.html) jumped up to 7 January, but last week (2 April) it didn't move.....stayed on 7 January (do they have that many I-130s that were filed on 7 January? Likely, given the holidays....)

This week the dates haven't moved...no update since 2 April.....!!!!

As a 25 February filer, we are on pins and needles and don't see the date moving. Anyone know what is going on? As we all agree, the waiting is the worst part!

I know, what is going on? Our filing date is 29th january and thought 3 weeks ago we might be processing our application this week but it seems that 7th January was a popular day.....

Sometime in the summer months it can be stuck for several weeks. Karen who runs that section (if she is still there) only has a small staff and if they are not all there things slow down.

(When I was still working in the UK I had a lot of contact with the consular and legal sections of the Embassy through my job.)

They may not be updated on a regular basis. I wouldn't worry a whole lot...when I got notice that the application for the I-129F was approved the date was still stuck several weeks behind what it should have been.
