yeah, we applied and got I130 approved in 2023 but have to apply form I824 due to some reason that they said i didn't indicate with embassy/consulate abroad. So now that the I824 approved, they finally send it to NVC, and i got case/invoice number today

 

OK, so nothing to do but wait. Just check the VB occasionally to see if the date has moved and keep an eye on it when it gets close. 

 

Good luck.

my case, close to 1 year. Even thought they say it would take more than 6 months on the notice.

My mom is green card holder and i thought she can't sponsor her daughter as she's over 21 and married.

 

She can't, but she can when she becomes a USC. I'd recommend she does so, partly as back up to your petition, but also as it may be slightly quicker.

thanks, would be 'a while' as the PD is 2019, not counting the I824 as it delay sending case to NVC

The delay in sending the case to NVC will have made no difference as there's still a long wait ahead either way. But as you can see from the Visa Bulletin, married children of citizens cases are currently ahead of sibling cases by just over 18 months, so it may knock a bit of time off if your mother petitions for her too. You can both apply and then just wait to see whose petition gets to the front of the line first.

Yep.  Better to have a backup I-130, imo. You just never know what the future holds.

Diary it for 2040 and see thn how things are going.

 

I would imagine many of us will be dead before her visa number is current.

 

Husband and minor children then will be eligible.
