Filed in January 2022 - Anything we can do to get things moving?

[ConfusedinFlorida 0]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if you might have advice on our case:

We (I, PR at the time, met spouse while he was on tourist visa) filed I-130 and I-485 concurrently on January 20, 2022 (the visa bulletin was current). Our I-130 was approved in July of 2023. Since then, it shows that our case is being actively reviewed. In February 2025, I became a U.S. citizen and we uploaded a copy of my naturalization certificate and a letter informing them of my changed status to our USCIS account. 

 

Our inquiry date has been moving steadily back, so we are still within normal processing times (Miami FO). The last time I checked, our inquiry date jumped back from July 2025 to July 2026 and we are kind of losing our minds. Our lawyer tells us we just need to wait. I saw hat we can contact our local representative to check with ICE for us, but some people say that we have to be out of normal processing time for that? Can we upload more evidence to "get someone's attention"? Anything??

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

How many times did you meet before marriage? Was he in status or out of status when 130, 485 filed. Also you would be in touch with uscis not ice

Yes, thanks! I meant USCIS, of course. We met shortly after my husband arrived on a tourist visa and got married 3 months later and filed before his visa expired.

Had you been in contact online or anything else before he arrived in the US? Meeting, marrying and staying in 3 months is unusual and may be the reason for extra scrutiny. Also which country is he from?
