When did you file?

My friend received the same email last week, she filed May 11, 2024. Check under all tabs on your USCIS account for an approval letter.  

You were right. Even though the case status shows it's still processing, I went back to check under the documents and the approval letter is there. Thanks! May 22, 2024 PD.

Yes! Never known it be accurate for anybody, all it does is cause worry and I wish they’d scrap it.

Just for one case though? Hopefully the other approval will be along soon. 🤞

Congratulations! I'm sure it must have felt like eternity. You're pretty lucky though, it's not unusual for I-130 to take 17 months or so. 14.5 is pretty good.

Thank you soo much! Yes we feel so lucky and blessed that it took only 14.5 months, we initially were preparing for around 17 months. I hope they’re able to keep up the same pace and similar approval timeframes for everyone else too
