August 2023 I-130 filers

[miha25 22]

But I think if you look at all previous months, the unapproved 25-30% range remains for a very long time. It’s my understanding that that percentage is for cases which are more complex, i.e., by people petitioning for additional dependents, from field offices and so forth, but that straightforward cases are generally approved within 15 months.

How do you know if your case was transferred? We just have the first NOA letter as an attachment which reads Nebraska. Is the transfer posted elsewhere in MYUSCIS or on another site?

Go to Emma and type “INFOPASS”. Immediately directed to a live agent. They tell you where is your case at.

Thank you GMF and Mocha!😊

Our filing date was August 30, 2023.  Today we got a notice that our case is being actively reviewed.  It says that estimated time until decision is 4 months (!), but I am guessing that is a canned reply that doesn't mean much, from what others on this forum have said?  Fingers crossed that it's within the next few days.

My case was officially approved after 5 days of a second AR. Approval letter presented the date of a second AR. Your case must have been approved already!

We got our I-130 approval notice today, we were August 30 filers.  Approval dated Nov. 22, so they kept us in suspense for the weekend.

Still no news here. Any other August people still waiting? I called Emma/INFOPASS and we’re still at the Texas center where we’ve apparently always been. The agent said, if I’d like, I can file an appeal next summer. We’re an older couple and our time together is limited enough as it is. This is such a heartbreaking process.

Estimated time is a made up number. Could be shorter or longer wait.

Hey Everyone! I was approved on Nov 12th but I have not received anything from NVC. So I contacted NVC last week, and they haven’t received my approved petition from USCIS yet. It is going to be 3 weeks tomorrow. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m trying not to panic but is this normal? 🥺

They also told me not to contact them again before 60 days 😓

This is normal. Things with immigration take time as you might have seen already.
