I-130 petition on initial review for 5 moths

[bonita5 0]

I'm a us citizen. I'm petitioning both my parents. They're in Guatemala.

On November 22, 2010 - Received notice showing status as under INITIAL REVIEW at a USCIS office. It's been 5 months already and I haven't received a decision yet. Should I call CSC or keep waiting? please advise.

Thank you

Hi. thanks for your quick reply.

I'm new here. Is it possible to move this post to the correct section?

it's normal for the 1-130 the estamate times about 8 to 10 months or longer, if you want to call you can, it's like a record call back in 30 days, then after that another 30 days. good luck.

but how come others get the decision sooner? I read one got the approval in 37 days, others no longer than 3 months. Does it depend on country or service center??

your looking at the 1-129f k-1 visa it's estamated time is 5 to 6 months...the 1-130 is more like 8 to 10 months or longer, if you up date your time line, we can answer more better.

Sorry for my late reply.

This is what's been happening lately:

A month after my I 130 approval NVC gave me a case number for each parent. (I called every week)

Next I sent NVC an e-mail providing my e-mail address for future communication

Then a week after I sent my e-mail address they e mailed me a letter with the DS 3032 as an attachment for my parents to complete

They completed the form and e mailed it back

It was accepted

A week after that, they e mailed them two invoices. One to pay the AOS and the other to pay the Visa application fee

I'm not paying those fees yet since I cannot find a co-sponsor since I don't qualify.....SAD....
