Hi everyone. 

 

I'm just curious to know everyone's processing times for the i130. My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years, we filed in March of 2019 and it feels like it's taking forever for any changes to happen(I know it's a long process but we're anxious!)

8 to 9 months or more

YMMV

It room you 8/9 months to hear anything back after the first initial i130 application? Or total? 

8 to 9 before they (USCIS) picks it up to review.  Then a few months before it clears NVC, and a few more before interview in Montreal 

YMMV

I found this answer helpful as I was just about to ask the same question. We got our NOA1 on March 6, 2019  and out of anxiety I feel like it is taking sometime to  hear from them. Creating a VJ timeline has ours at November 2019 as a cut off. So that is approx 9 months before hearing anything of or next to NOA2.
