Reading thru the whole thread - In my opinion, the problem is stemming from you guys "changing the phone #" - you said it yourself that "(USCIS) -"it automatically sends a verification code to my old phone number". Now your focus must be to change the phone number from "old to New". Until then this problem will prevail going around in the same cycle again and again. Find a way to change the phone in USCIS record - write a certified mail to them with a receipt. If you don't receive a response - In my opinion, it will be a time to discuss this with a lawyer, sorry. Problem is the new & old phone number. Good luck sam

Like one of the comment says "why do you have login to your USCIS acct?" - I agree, if you want to check the status of your USCIS petition please go to <<https://egov.uscis.gov/>> put your Receipt number in the field provided for it - you will get the latest update on your petition. You don't need to login anywhere for just checking status of your petition - unless there is something else you have you didn't mention in your concern here. Good luck -sam

Depending on urgency/priority level of your travel outside USA - I would suggest you keep your interview date. Very few USCIS field offices offer same day (interview & oath taking ceremony) - Usually, it's interview first and a two/three/four weeks later Oath taking ceremony. I just had gone thru the process, my Interview was in mid June 2023 & oath taking was in first week of August 2023. It's your call (to change the interview date). Thanks & good luck -sam

Pardon my ignorance - Your "warning' noted. Thanks SN

Hello everyone, Just wanted some clarification, if some knows, how this things work in Category F2B I took a screen capture of NVC Visa Bulletin (May 2023) May 23, 2023 Bulletin DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS Family- Sponsored All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed CHINA- mainland born INDIA MEXICO PHILIPPINES F1 01JAN17 01JAN17 01JAN17 01DEC02 22APR15 F2A C C C C C F2B 01JAN17 01JAN17 01JAN17 01JAN02 01OCT13 F3 08FEB10 08FEB10 08FEB10 15JUN01 08NOV03 F4 01FEB08 01FEB08 22FEB06 01APR01 22APR04 For Canada F2B shows Jan 1, 2017 - My receipt date is Sept 11, 2017 My Question is: Does that - PROVIDED my i-130 is approved & if date (in green) goes to Sept 17 2017 - or beyond we can file visa application I am really confused how this will work that's why I came to the experts. Thanks for your help S

Just like the other comment - You open the DHL packet because you may have other things in there for follow up instructions etc. - In that (DHL) packet there is an another envelope which says "DO NOT OPEN" - don't open that envelope because this is Supposed to be handed to USCIS officer at the time your mom is "ready to migrate", at the point of entry. Or if you feel comfortable take the whole thing to land crossing as you said.

Are you a U.S. citizen? no I have a green card & I am sure that I am looking/searching in the right category How old was your child in when you filed I-130? The kids is over 21 unmarried - Here also I am sure I am looking in the right category - see below.

The web site used to show the priority date & number of months now they changed to just this. I know it says "80% of cases.." but I hope my Petition is not in the rest of 20% - One more thing I forgot mention that my case was in "laguna niguel ca" they transferred the file to Vermont on May 27, 2020 does that should not change the Receipt date which is Sept 11, 2017. I hope this will clarify some of it for readers to respond/help. thx

Hi Everyone/My experts team, I have a question from my VisaJourney trusty colleagues: Statement of Facts before the question: I have applied (Form i-130) in 2017 - Specific receipt date is Sept 11, 2017 - If I look the website the specific USCIS center (Vermont - where the file is located) timeline on website for this USCIS center says ESTIMATED 55.5 months. I understand that this "estimate" is barely a guideline and probably a "gestimation". Currently actual month consumed from receipt date are <<61 months>> and counting. Question: In your opinion, Would it be advise able to write letter to USCIS Vermont Center & Politely - Very Humbly ask them, what is a correct status of my application (Form i-130) or will this be 'wasted effort'. and or annoy them (USCIS). Thanks in Advance -s

Thanks - Yeah the wait is almost the same, it's been 5 years - they keep delaying mind boggling sometimes. -s

Thanks s

Hey Guys, A question for ya all if you guys know or can explain. Currently a Permanent Resident with a Green Card- applied i-130 for a Canadian born unmarried over 21 child over 5 years ago (2017) still under process. Want to file for a USA citizenship n-400 If the citizenship process is completed and the petitioner become citizen of USA before i-130 is approved what will the category of i-130 (would still be "filed by PR GC holder") Do you have to inform USCIS in writing that the petitioner of form i-130 is a US Citizen now Would the filed i130 classification change for Permanent Resident to filed by a USA Citizen. I think it will not - I just want to make sure that there is no mix up at the that end (meaning Form i-130). I hope I didn't confuse ya all thanks s

Reply to are you a US citizen: NO - I have applied in the right category of Permanent Resident & I absolutely sure that am looking in right category on USCIS Website - However, with all due respect that was not my question/curiosity. Categories on the website are defined very clearly, I adhere to that there is no confusion there in the category I applied and category I am looking in and my confusion was what "estimate" they are giving and what actual time has elapsed. FYI - further clarification: When I go to list my receipt date the web site goes = "Your can enquire only after Aug 29, 2023. That is where my confusion. Reply to is it a Child's child = No - She is my daughter. -> there also no confusion in application category. It's just this timeline and their claim of "clearing the back logs" does not match.

Hi folks, Anyone has an idea how accurate/reliable the "processing timeline" on USCIS website is even with rough estimates/guestimates. Fact is that I filed Form i-130 in Sept of 2017 (literally 60 months ago) -> USCIS for Vermont Center (that is where file is) shows "estimated" processing time 55.5 months, I know it's just an "estimate" & Please be aware that I am NOT being impatience - I am more curious than anything knowing that (obviously) I can't do nothing. Just wanted extra a set of different thought process that what you guys think. I know it is what it is. Thanks, sn

Thanks Imperium, your kindness (true response) saves the poor friend of mine some $$, That is what I told him but I wanted reassurance from my Visa Journey bussies. Thanks again, s
