were waiting already 12 months to get approved, getting frustrated

[Milka & Chris 2]

My Husband filed last year 2020 in the beginning of february for the I-130 petition. We received a receipt number on the february 6,2020. and since then we didnt hear anything back. He called a couple times to ask about our case but we always got an different answer on how long to wait till we get approved. Today we sent a request for our case and patiently waiting for an answer. Were starting to get really frustated, especially because most couples from the uscis texas got approved sooner than us but filed later then we did. Did anyone know what we could do to speed up the process a little bit faster?

If there was a "speed up the process" process, everyone would be doing it

Many of us here have gone through that long waiting. It took me 11.5 months for the I-130 petition to be approved.

It shows on the website that they're processing March 2020 cases. If i were you, i would request an outside normal processing time (ONPT) request here:

Im not sure. I filed an Ombudsman request too, since the priority date for my case prior in the original service center (since it was transferred to Vermont) was way past due, and Vermont shows it's still working on cases from 2018!

 

Im not sure if the Ombudsman request was what triggered the approv, since it was just recently requested and i know it could take much longer for the request to be addressed.

 

But keep the faith! Im positive your request will help things move.
