Wait time for I-130

[HunnyBunny 9]

I am a wife of a US citizen, came in US on fiance visa. My husband also had applied for his son (under 21) through form I-130 who lives in India. He had applied both fiance visa & green card for his son in Jan 2013. It has been more than a year and we haven't heard anything about visa for our (step) son. Now I need to know how & where to follow this case. Reliable sources. Please help.

He filed i130 and i129f for his son? The i130 is the only form that he should have filed. Why would he file for a fiancee visa for his son?

Have you checked the case status at USCIS? http://www.uscis.gov

who is who?

regardless, he should have gotten a receipt formletter with a receipt number.

call up USCIS, give over the receipt number, ask for status.

I thought I wrote clearly in my post!!! Let me put it once again...

1. I came to US on fiance visa in Nov 2013

2. I got married to a my US citizen fiance in Dec 2013

3. Now I think I can call him my husband

4. This is our second marriage

5. My husband has 19 years son from his previous marriage & he lives in India with his grand parents

6. He applied for his visa or green card at the time of he applied for a fiance visa for myself.

7. My visa process is through, but didn't hear about his son's visa

8. I need to know HOW & WHERE I can get to know the status of that visa.

9. I need to speak to somebody at USCIS instead of listening to recorded messages or options

Now anyone can help me???

ah - how to get a human @ uscis.

1. call the number again. touch no buttons after it starts to ring. no buttons. NONE.

2. wait 3 to 8 minutes. a human will answer, start talking in spanish.

3. wait for human to stop talking. say 'english please'.

4. answer questions with human.

need ISO? ask for ISO after step 4.

Hey Darnell... Thanks dear. You made it so simple for me.

And thank you too apple21. I was not able to find his NOA1. I do have his case number.

I-130'was applied in Jan 2013. Don't know the priority date as NOA1 misplaced.
