Yea so he has a removal in absentia order against him. The problem is we cant file for the 601a until we have an approved i130 (hopefully any day) and we sucessfully have his absentia order administratively closed.

Our I-601A was sent in October 15th, Biometrics appointment in November and we just got a receipt notice last week 11/29.

I sent ours in October and just had our Bio done last week.  Most of the newer comments are still waiting on an approval. You should hear something back in about 2-4 weeks.  After that, that's when the waiting game begins. But it seems as if you are using the potomac address you may move faster then the rest of us. Good luck, you are not alone in this journey. 

We have ours tomorrow (I-130 pre-interview) from what our attorney told us yesterday hes had a few interviews with this officer and usually within a week he has an answer 
hopefully all l goes  
Hope you hear something back soon
 

my husband just got back his passport with a denial stating he is inadmissible  under 9B2 212a 9 b II because he was present in us for more than 365 day and that the inadmissible expires may of 2028 it states we can fill out a I 601 but we had filed and were approved for a I 601a before he left it also states 9C1 212 a 9 c 1 that we could fill out I 212 . Do I need to fill out both or what guarantee is that going to give me if we are approved that he can come back . I already proved my hardship with the I 601a and that did not work so why should I fill out the other form sending the exact same info ? PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE !!!! we have been together 13 years and married 9 they are breaking up my marriage for nothing they don't care..

Hello, I just thought I would update in case anyone else from September got stuck waiting like me.
 
PD: 09/18/2017
Service Center: Potomac
RFE: 05/29/2018
RFE Received: 06/18/2018
NOA2: 06/21/2018
 
They did not update the website or email/text. It just arrived in the mail today! I'll update the timeline.

I feel your pain.. my I-824 form was transferred to NBC for faster processing but it's the slowest of all Service Center's I am at 214 days now. 

My case was transferred from Potomac to national benefits center like yours. I just received a letter for me to come to my local field office for an initial interview after being at the national benefits center. Since your case was transferred in March you may not hear anything until September. I was told it takes them six months to process the case. When I received the transfer letter they also told me to speed up the process. Some lawyer have said when your case is transferred to national benefits center it is because they want you to come in for an interview. I have to come in for an interview so that is true for me. Anyway you may receive a decision without interview or you may have to come in for interview.

I’m at 255 days already. It is very normal.

The case was transferred from NBC to my local office.  We were approved (at a marriage interview in Philadelphia) on Feb 1 2017.   So it took from July to Feb.

Which question did you fill the boxes in, Form I-130 page 8, 61A thru C or 62A thru C?
 

yes.  we were transferred to nbc in July.   i did a congressional inquiry in October amd found my case was transferred to my local office.  Then ombudsman told me in December that we were awaiting the scheduling of an interview.  Then i received notice of an interview  in the mail in january.  then we had interview in feb 1 and were approved.  if the beneficiary is in the country they automatically schedule an interview.

you can get the approved next month. That what happen with my i130 when it transfer from Nebraska to Texas.

On the uscis app it still shows my case as received only. Don’t know what to say. 

Nothing yet, the waiting continues. I haven’t seen any Sptember at all. Lets hope very shortly!

Hello VJ members, do you guys think they will be starting to roll out approvals for September?

Good question.  I just asked the VJ site admins.  Hopefully I'll get an answer soon.

the priority date is the august 30th .. i got rfe in the February the 8th a sent to them what the need .. February the 20th they update my status and ask me to wait 

I hear you! It is depressing!

If you look under the timelines, you will get an idea for how long to wait. A lot of us waited for anywhere between 200-300 days before the I-130 got approved...they also give you an estimate for your approval under your own timelines. Also, if you click on "immigration timelines" there is a list of "Processing dates for common forms" which is gathered from user data and is more up to date than the USCIS website...just look at them to get an idea

Just wait another 2-3 months. I'm understand how you feel ,but nothing you can do right now is wait and hope no RFE.

My lawyer just submitted our expedite request today, PD 9/29 TSC, based on emergency situation (My daughter's medical issues). Hoping they approve it as I need my husband here with me! Wish us luck!
