Sent I-130 and then nothing......!

[Mike-G 0]

Hi,

My wife and I have sent our completed I-130 to the embassy in London, as I am from here, and my wife has lived here with me for nearly 4 years now. We sent our package months ago and we have not heard a thing....

The embassy have taken our payment, and we have received the confirmation of application document, but no second packet to complete....What should we do?

We are in no rush at all to get this done, so we have left it thinking there has been some serious backlog, but it has been a good 8 months now.

Is there a number to call?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

You can get expert advice here but it would help if you had a Timeline completed to help fill in the blanks for us.

I hope it gets resolved for you quickly.
