I just called NVC and I was told that my Father’s case was sent to Vermont (initially processed in Nebraska) 😩😩😩 I guess I don’t have to wait and proceed with my mother’s case with NVC. Vermont is still processing June 2018 and both parent’s PD are Feb 2020, almost 2 years 😭😭😭 why is it have to be that way, my mother’s case got approved so early (3months after submission) but my father’s case got stuck 😭

Hello guys,

 

Sorry I am late to the Feb-2020 filers party 😊

 

Here is my timeline:

USC Petitioner: Me

Beneficiaries: My parents (I filed for them both at the same time)

I filed online and the appications got assigned to Nebraska Service Center.

 

I-130 filing date: 1/31/2020

Priority date: 2/1/2020

Father's I-130 Approval date: 5/4/2020

Mother's I-130 Approval date: Pending (as of 6/24/2020)

Father's NVC account creation date: 5/7/2020

Father's NVC AoS and civil documents submission date: 6/19/2020

 

Im still waiting for my mom's I-130 to be approved but not in a hurry because CoVid19 has been delaying consulate processing anyway. One of the applications (I forgot which one) did ask for who you were sponsoring to the US with the petitioner, so I put my parents' names on. Hopefully they will get interviewed together once the HCMC consulate opens up again.

 

Hi everyone!

 

Hope you all are doing well. I just got the news NVC approved my Dad's documents.

Meanwhile, my mom's I-130 application is still under initial review. I filed both I-130 applications online at the same time, but now my dad's is way ahead of my mom's... 

Oh well...

My bad it is not NVC, but the USCIS that I called about my father’s case being stucked at Vermont Center

Hi I did not call NVC. It was USCIS that I called for the status of my father’s Case. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Mary_ann,

 

Please advise whether I should make a call to USCIS towar may parents' cases? I submitted I-130 forms online on March 08 and no heard anything back from USCIS except of receipts till now...There were a lot of cases approved and I am truly worrying about my application.

Hi which USCIS center processing your parent’s case? My mother’s case was processed in Potomac and they approved it after 3 months. My Father’s case is still processing in Vermont Center, based on USCIS processing time, it will take 27 months for this center to process a case 😔. So it really depends on which center on how long your parents case will be processed.

I checked my receipts and realized that the office of Texas has been holding my cases... do you think whether I should call them for asking about how the process of my cases has been so far?

I would check first the processing time for Texas center and if it is already more than the normal processing time that’s the time I would call them Or you can send an inquiry email to them.

There is nothing which stops you from calling USCIS any day, but your case is within the processing timeframe.
