March 2022 Filers for Parents

[Jeniafrench 8]

Anyone else in the same boat?

Filed for my mom on 3/20. Case is currently received. Does anyone know how long it takes to get to the next point? 

Looks like the case went to Texas and I checked the processing times here:

Processing Times (uscis.gov)

It says 11-14.5 months. Is that he whole process from filing to interview, or is this to approve i-130?

 

TIA!

That is just the USCIS part of the process

18 to 24 months to interview is more likely

read the guidelines above to see the process /what happens next

Oh wow...

I've gone through the IR-1 process myself twice in the past, and it's never been nearly as long. Is this due to covid backlog?

Things were backed up prior to covid and covid has just completely exacerbated the situation.

I sent my application for my parents 5/2021 and was approved 3/2022. It's now in the NVC.

Oh wow...  I wonder if it's because of the different Service Center or something else.

Thanks! How soon did they start actively reviewing it?

And which service center?

I am not sure if it's generic message or has something to do with the Service Center. Potomac current processing time is 10-13 months.

My dad's application changed on 4/28 to "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS"

I just find out my parents applications are in two different centers, one in California and the other in Texas.

Has anyone gotten their decisions yet? Mine is being actively reviewed for over 2 months now.
