US Immigration from Colombia

I filed the I-130 electronically. I received a notice last week that said my case estimated wait time is "12 months."

Did you receive something similar? Was the end result accurate? For example, if yours said 12 months did you receive your visa within 12 months or was it a shorter or longer wait?

Thanks for sharing!

There are some tiktoks going around about a parole to reunite families. It says that if there is a petition that has been approved, you can apply to this parole and the person you applied for can come to the country and wait for the process to be finalized here. What do you guys know about it? I have been wanting to apply for my sister but the process is soooo long that I don't know if it is even good the trying. According to this is only for a few countries not for all of them.

Do I use the petitioner's email or the applicant's email?

My reputation score says "1" jaja

How do I increase my reputation score?

Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read this. My wife is from Colombia - she entered the US about 3 weeks after our 2 year wedding anniversary. POE was Atlanta and we advised immigration that she should be IR-1, not CR-1, after showing him our marriage certificate. There was no issue at POE, the immigration officer understood, crossed out CR-1 from her visa, wrote IR-1, and also wrote IR-1 on the stamp itself with her A number. This was in October 2021. In January 2022, she received a conditional green card, so we immediately filed I-90 online with scans of our marriage certificate, passport with IR-1 on the visa and stamp, etc. This led to a biometrics appointment a few weeks later. At the time of filing, the estimated processing time was 10 months. It is now 20 months.

My wife received a reminder letter in the mail yesterday saying that she needs to file to remove conditions before October 2023. The USCIS website says we are within the "normal processing time" for our I-90 and that we should not contact them about the case until January 2024 at the earliest (which would be 4 months after her conditional green card expires). When we initially filed I-90, we did not see there is another option to report a typographic error. Is this applicable for our case? I'm not sure this counts as a typographic error since the validity itself is the problem. She is very concerned that she will soon be with an expired green card. USCIS contact by phone has been useless, as has their online support (all canned responses for every inquiry). I found similar cases here on VisaJourney, but many are from years ago. Has anyone had this same issue recently? Any suggestions?
