Hi! I filed for my mom on 04/03/2022. Potomac Service Center. I also filed my dad's but that was a few days earlier in March.

Hi Yuliya,

 

We wish you a smooth process. We are working on our daughter's. I think that after you get the NOA2 you can request an expedite. I heard Ukrainian beneficiaries have been approved quickly. I am trying to learn more about how they are processing cases for Ukrainian beneficiaries.

 

All the best - Eric & Iuliia

Hi everyone I Just did online filing for my mom on April 4 2022. I got the message today saying we have taken an action in your case. Did Anyone got such  message too? I went into my account to see but nothing was updated. Best of luck to everyone.

Yes, that likely means they generated the Receipt Notice, basically confirming it was received. If you log in to your account and go to Documents (under each application), you should see the PDF there.

This also happened to me. When I checked it was just letting me know that the  Receipt Notice was generated which can be found under the document tab.

I'm not sure if that means anything. My wife filed for her mother on July 7, 2022. 

This is the update she received a week later.

As of July 15, 2022, we are actively reviewing your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative

It does no mean much really as it is still a waiting game.

Wishing you all good luck

Congratulations to you and your mom. Your timeline shows really a quick turnaround and I am really happy for you. I have applied for mom on Dec 9th and it is with Seattle office and no info on I-130 or I-485 and the case is still under review. I am hearing they have a major backlog in Seattle. Anyone else having Dec submission and Seattle field office ?    

By the way , I have a question. I am hearing once the I-130 & I-485 is approved, did your mom have to leave US and re-enter or no need to do it? 

Thanks

Thank you. I don't believe that my my mom has to leave the US and re-enter. She has adjusted her status while being in the US so that is definitely not a requirement.

Good luck and best wishes to you and your mom to get the happy news of her approval quickly!

I forgot to add that my mom didn't have an interview for the I-485 application to adjust status.
