My I-130 was filed a year ago so hopefully I am a few months away from seeing some movement on my case.

 

BUT, I have no idea what to expect next for the total timeline. A month here, 4 months there. Another year? Another 2 years? Even longer? Can it really take a year just to get an appointment at the embassy in Manila? 

 

Feeing discouraged, where exactly do I look at data about the total time it takes from submission of the I-130 to booking the flight to America?


Thanks so much in advance.

I130 NOA1 to IR1/CR1 Interview . . .  roughly 705 days. Is this the relevant information I should be looking at if I am wanting the big picture from submission of the I-130 to getting her to America? Assuming the interview is successful it's 2-4 weeks more to get her visa and then you can book the plane ticket?

 

I have seen some comments about the US Embassy interview in Manila taking 12 months to schedule. Now my math looks like 15 months for the I-130 and then 2 more months and then 4 more months and then 12 more months just for the interview? That puts us way further out than 705 days. 

 

Thanks in advance for any insight.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Reading your post to figure out the timeline and in March u state applied 7 months ago / that would be October so it has not yet been 12 months which is still within normal times 

As for the interview possible ,  fill out a profile and ID the country and members of Manila will know your embassy with possible wait times after the NVC process is complete and u r DQ'd
