All California Service Center I-130 filers

[JrGoldMiner 63]

Another unfortunate California service center casualty here. 

 

Filed I-130 for Spouse living abroad as Permanent Resident.

PD Jan 16 2018

California Service Center processing time is 16 - 20 months.

Visa Bulletin for July 2018 "Dates For Filling"  which is currently being used for Family sponsored suggest F2A for all other changeability is 01 Dec 17.   

 

In a couple of months if my PD becomes current but I-130 still not approved then what happens? I read on the forms that beneficiary  adjusting status within US can file I-1485.  That does not apply to us?

 

I see folks who filed in early Jan 2017 in CA Service Center finally getting approved in this thread so looks like 2019 for my case?

 

Thanks.

Anyone had this issue before. I filed to petition my mom and she's been out of status for along time. Will there be any problem approving her at uscis?

PD NOV 9, 2016 and I received RFE on May 10, proof of bona fida relationship received by uscis on May 16, and since now Im still waiting for my approval  I'm losing hope

It does not apply to you since your spouse is living abroad. I am in a similar situation with a April 2017 PD. 

 

The date for filing is only applicable if your spouse is already living in the US.

I did not provide any evidence at first, except the marriage certificate, and when I received the rfe I sent theme the wedding pictures and flight tickets and money transfer to my wife

Hello everybody, I red something about a form called I-485 for spouse living in US which can be filled even before  USCIS approvals. I am actually living with my spouse, I am on student visa my PD is dec 28. Am I eligible for an I-485 application or should I wait for uscis approvals first ? 

Thanks

My pd is dec 28  and I am living in US with my spouse. I am here on a student visa. Do you think I am eligible of a change of status ? Can I file an I-485 without uscis approvals ?
