I-130 January 2020 Filers

[Danii 312]

Anyone else still waiting? Visajourney is now saying that my case is outside of the normal processing time I'm at Potomac right now and the current receipt date is sometime in Oct 2019. I've already sent a inquiry and they replied saying they process in order the applications were received, which isn't true So many people who applied after me got approved a long time ago. I understand that maybe some cases are easier, but they shouldn't lie about why mine hasn't been touched. I would be more at ease if I knew exactly why it's taking longer. Is there anything else I can do now? The interview wait time at Montreal is already nearing a full year, I really need my i130 to be approved as soon as possible before it gets worse.

I am in the same situation, received NOA1 on Jan 7th and absolutely no update after that. My wife is also canadian beneficiary so looks like we have more than a year ahead before this whole trivial ordeal is over.

Hey does anybody know if this is a bad sign?

Don't worry I have that same message on mine as well (PD: 02/06/2020). When I asked my lawyer about it, they said it's not going to affect the process

Hey! If you only have one beneficiary and do not require a sponsor to reach the minimum annual income, you can fill out i864EZ. It's shorter than all the others and quite easy to fill out. I'm not sure about the other forms, if you don't meet the requirements for this, you should do some additional research about the others.

Oh thanks, I'm only sponsoring my wife and no kids. I make about 48k plus a year, Do I still qualify for the I864ez? and yes I'll do more research as well

You need to make 125% of the HHS poverty guidelines. For all states but Alaska/Hawaii and for a household size of just two (just you and your spouse), you need to make $21,550. So yes, you qualify! You can use EZ.

Hello, I have another question, Does it have to be n IRS transcript or just the tax return?

Either. If you upload the tax return, you need to bring an original copy to the interview, along with your W2s (upload these as well). You can find this info in the same document I mentioned in the other comment! If you have more questions, refer to this:  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

 

Really helped me completed everything!!
