Any information on where we can track the process and get updates on its status would be appreciated. 

 

Its been sent sent to the Chicago processing Center, any idea how long their average processing time is currently?

 

thanks in advance

Here you can see the processing times for the different service centers. You sent your petition to the Chicago Lockbox, and then they will send it to a service center. You will know your service center once you get your NOA1.

Here you can check your case status. You can also create an account there, and then turn on email and mobile alerts for your case. But you need your receipt number for that, you will get it with your NOA1.

 

Good luck!

It took 11 months for us at Nebraska. Expect a year at least. In the meantime, make sure everything is up to date and have all of your documents ready for the NVC phase. The process will move pretty quickly when you case is transferred.

When you get your first letter back from USCIS (NOA1) and find out your service centre fill out the timeline on here, that estimate will be a pretty good indicator of when you will hear next. Expect it to be in the ballpark of 6 to 9 months, there will be radio silence until that date unless you get a request for further information (RFE).When you hear back it will be to get forwarded onto NVC and you'll get a NOA2.

 

To get ready for the second part things to be mindful of is making sure your taxes are all filed up to date and if you will have a joint sponsor that their taxes are up to date. Closer to the end of the window estimate I would get a police certificate, as these are good for 12 months. Make sure you have originals of all certificates (birth, marriage, name changes, divorce etc if relevant) in Australia with the applicant.

Are you DCF?  Do you live in Australia?  Chicago is just the lockbox.  They will send it to the service center that will process the petition.  If you fill out the timeline we will be able to give you better information.  Some service centers are quicker than others.

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

 

PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

The DCF should speed things up a bit as long as you have established domicile in the US.  That has been a sticking point for a few DCF couples.

No, we don’t qualify for DCF.  My husband resides in the states permanently. He’s only ever been here on vacation to visit me, we alternate every couple of months flying back and forth to see each other and we’re married here in Aus. 

 

Our application has has been sent to Nebraska to be processed.

I know that flight as I go to the Philippines every few months.  Your main info says DCF and Chicago Lockbox so I was confused.  Welcome to the big wait!  Hopefully Nebraska is quicker than Potomac!

Unfortunately, Nebraska today has the longest processing time of the service centers for I-130 at 7.5-8 months. That means you can just relax until the end of May 2019!

Potomac is quoted at 9.5 to 12 months for NOA2.
