Dear VisaJourney Community, I opened the I-130 since Dec 2019 for my brother (born in 1992) and his family (his wife-born in 1992, his daughter born in 2018, his son born in 2022). His family except his son travelled to the US in 2023. Now his whole family (all 4 members) is granted travel visa renewal. Today I saw in the online account, USCIS updated "Estimated time until case decision 16 months". Does it mean they are reviewing his case and will give the decision within 16 coming months? Anybody has experience regarding this notice? I have heard that is not good news since they will start counting the age of his children. And his case will still take 12-15 years more to process before his family can move to America. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much @OldUser and @Dashinka! My due date is August 3, 2024. My mom left the US on July 8, 2023. As @Dashinka mentioned, she can come back to the US even within July 8, 2024 to my due date? It would pass her one year mark of leaving the country. But she already has the reentry application. She gets so bored if coming here and has nothing to do, just waiting for the baby to be born lol :)) I am considering time to book a flight for her! Thanks so much again for your time!

Dear amazing Visajourney community, Happy new year to you all! My mom has a US green 10 year green card. She applied for I-131 Reentry Permit on 02.17.2023, and got her biometrics done on 03.21.2023. We haven't heard anything or received any reentry approval permit document from the USCIS since then. She flew back to our home country, Vietnam in July 2023 and is living there since then. Since I will give birth in the summer, my mom plans to come back to the US before my delivery to help me here. Do you guys know if it is okay for her to come back to the US when she hasn't got her reentry approval? I heard it may take 2 years to get it. Which documents will she need to show the Home Land Security at the airport to get in the US? She only has her green card and the receipt of I-131 biometrics. Thank you so much for your help!
