Hi everyone, I am currently an US Citizen and I have been approved my petition I-130 for my mom and I checked today that on March 23th, the case has been transferred to the Department of States, I am pregnant with my second child and due in August, and I would like to know how long will this process take? I really would like her to be here for the birth of my second child. Thanks everyone

Congrats jessandpreston for the approval and the pregnancy!! If you are on top of it (in reference to ensuring you complete the steps expediently) maybe within 6-9 months. Normally you would expect 9-12 months from date of sending in the initial paperwork. Perhaps you could apply for special circumstances with NVC to speed up the process? Not too sure if giving birth would apply as a medical need but maybe?

Agreed...6-9 months is a reasonable estimate IMHO.

 

There is no expedite for pregnancy. There would be a lot more expedites (and probably pregnancies!) if so. Medical need expedites are for things like severe/life-threatening medical conditions.
