Processing Time WENT UP

[OneWingedAngel915 0]

Good Morning Everyone,

 

My wife and I submitted our I-130 in August 2023 with a reception date of August 9, 2023. Earlier this week, it showed only 1 week of processing time until a decision would be reached. About 13 minutes ago, it went from 1 week to now 8 months. My wife and I are in shock and do not know what to do or even what to ask. 

 

Could you please provide guidance? Is a change from 1 week to 8 months standard? What does it mean?

 

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Have a lovely day.

 

-Ray.

The time provided on your online USCIS account is not reliable. The numbers go up and down without any reason, guide yourself by the processing times provided at

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

This is an average of all processes and also gives you a date where your process will be out of regular processing time, which is when you can start taking action. Hopefully your case won't get to that point though, regardless do not take the online account number as indicative of anything.

I realize it is a difficult process being away from your spouse, but try not to concentrate on the published numbers too much because as stated they are unreliable. Focus on the positive that you’ll get an answer soon.

 

I also would like to invite you to join the other August 2023 filers. Sometimes it’s beneficial to get feedback from people who are in the same place in the queue as you.
