You mean MyProgress? it's unreliable

Not sure where you’re checking, it’s 16.5 months at the moment - https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

As @OldUser said, if you’re looking at the My Progress tab then ignore it completely, it’s notoriously unreliable. 
 

Hopefully you’ll hear in about a year, then the second stage will very much depend on the consulate you’re applying under. 
 

Good luck.

That’s the ‘My Progess’ on your online account? As said above, that’s horribly inaccurate, best to ignore it completely! 
 

Keep an eye on the USCIS processing times page as that’s much more accurate, currently 16.5 months. So if you filed in Oct 2024 then hopefully spring 2026 you’ll get an approval. 
 

Also, if your wife is applying via Islamabad the keep an eye on the wait times for an interview there (via this forum) as that’s likely to be the part that takes the longest. 
 

Good luck.

yes  you are  right about that time and yes ISL will take longer too and with all  that back log will make it good 36 to 40 months process, but  always gonna be optimistic how things will played out in near future .

 

thanks for the update

how  is every one  doing?  just  checking on all

Unsolicited evidence can effect on the timeline of approval? When we submitted the time , we have not done the wedding yet. So we uploaded about wedding photo on unsolicited evidence tap. Then the time in my progress changed from 6 weeks to 14 months. Please advise

Ignore the 'My Progress' thing, it's useless.  

 

Is this a I-130 filed for a spouse? Are you saying that you filed before you were actually married?

Ah, I see. So you were legally married before you applied, and you just had a blessing/celebration later on?

Yeah, thus we uploaded when we get wedding photo. before is we have only some photos in our dating time, signing days photo and travel photos at initial time when we submitted i130. My PD is Oct 2024, we just uploaded new files when almost 1 year.

All sounds good, hopefully you'll hear late this year/early next. 

 

Good luck.
