Hey guys! I need help! We filed i130 last July. We did get an e-notification both e-mail and text saying they received and accepted our petition. We have a receipt number and know what service center it is. But after 4 months and one phone call later, we never received our NOA1 hard copy. I’m so worried.

What did they say when you called!?

Any new approvals for July from Texas? We are desperately waiting to hear something from them. PD July 8th (IOE)

I've been tracking too (July 5, Texas)- I saw 2 June approvals come through over the weekend, but no July yet... 

These are all on point -

😮 how did you get the estimate?

View your timeline> click view/update subscriptions> scroll to bottom and enable weekly approval estimates.

You'll get an email every week with an updated estimated approval!

I assumed that was for a Nebraska estimate 😳 but, yes I agree, someone has put in some incorrect data for a Potomac estimate to be next August. Our latest estimate for Nebraska was July 18, 2020 when I got my email yesterday 😭

I'm SOOO hopeful for you that your K3 application will knock that estimated approval down considerably. I'm confident in that!

Our estimate goes to August 2020,what is wrong? 

there's no way that's accurate! Someone likely used incorrect dates to complete there timeline here in VJ for Potomac, and that's going to throw off all the data and estimates. I wouldn't think into it too much.

Sorry, just to ask please what is the best to do for more chance of approval, CR-1 or K-1 visa?

 

do think its more easy for me to do like you CR-1 because i have two nationalities, i was born in France and live in France but i have too Tunisian nationality.

 

Thank you very much

Hi! In my opinion, CR1 is the way to go. It might take a couple months longer process (compared to the k1), but ultimately I believe it's less expensive and once you arrive you don't have to wait to adjust status: meaning you're able to begin working immediately, driving and really immersing yourself into your new home. I believe the approval ratings are better for cr1 petions also.

well, outta pure anxiousness and curiosity to see if it helps, I mailed off the K3 today. We were sure we weren't going to submit one, but figured, why not just try. TX SC.

Also, poor Benjamin. Being told he's just 'average' 

maybe unpopular opinion, despite Angela's antics at the tell all, I thought she looked good, lol, like something looked different about her to me..?

Same here, our Pd is July 18th and Aug 6th for K3. But we are stuck in Nebraska  my husband is a citizen and I’m in Mexico, waiting for the interview will take also 12 months or more, so it will take around 2 years for us too. It’s so frustrating. Interviews waiting time for residents petitions are no longer than 2 months now in Mexico because their approval takes “longer” than for citizens. My process will be as long as if my husband was a resident.

Hoping this ends soon. Glad to see some movement. We are in Potomac , July 2019. I want this to wait to come to an end , seeing how long an interview in Guyana is taking is giving me so much anxiety. Wait times for an interview surpassing 12 months for CITIZENS!! Ugh!! This is going to take almost 2 years or more for us!! 

i feel for you guys, that's gotta be torture knowing there is extended waits for interviews at your embassies. I hope you both have speedy noa2 coming soon. This whole process is so unbalances at every avenue.

Where do one check the waiting time for an interview?  my wife  is in Kenya 

Do a timeline search for Kenya, and sort by interview date, you can get an idea from NOA2 to interview- here's a quick search-

say you did get a visa- what about your father💁? You said you're the only one who can care for him

Been monitoring online processing time. Last night, it December 22 and upto 10 month. I guess they woke up and fixed it. Now its 11 month and dec 6 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

nope, I don't like that. lol 🙄 but all the timelines on VJ, point to a much more advantageous processing time at TX. Hoping it remains that way, and USCIS is being overly cautious with their cushioned estimated processing times. 🤞

Hello Everyone,

 

New to this forum, We are July I-130 filers with a PD of July 9th. I been following our application on a daily bases and noticed that on the USCIS secure site our case status got an updated date of 10/29/2019 today. The last time our date got updated it was in 09/15/2019. Not sure what the updates on the dates mean, but i'm hoping its a good thing.

 

We are at Potomac processing center

oooh I love hearing about any type of movement! awesome! and welcome here!

Hey everybody, our PD is July 8 with IOE (as probably everybody) and we got Texas. I saw on other websites that they have several July approvals... anyone here got approved at Texas SC? 
this wait time is making me crazy. We planned to be together In January

I haven't seen any July approvals (except one in here that had an expedite request).. Looks like they're (Texas) working through April mostly (2 mays approvals).

In a rather selfish way, this gives me (a poor Nebraska recipient) hope that now it is genuinely all digital, the workloads are balancing out to make it more fair. Sorry Potomac peeps but that is my hope. It’s wrong that one service centre takes over 12 months and another takes 6!

Agreed! It should be balanced.

Don't use staples! Use clips.

Here's some info from USCIS:

https://www.uscis.gov/forms-filing-tips

In preparing your packet, remember:

• Do not use binders or folders that we cannot easily disassemble.
• Use fasteners to hold together thick or bulky applications or petitions. Two-hole punching the top of the material for easy placement in the file is appreciated.
• Sticky tabs assist in locating items listed as attachments. For easy filing, place the tabs on the bottom of the page, not the side.
• Do not use heavy-duty staples; instead use fasteners or heavy clips.
• Do not submit originals unless specifically required. 
• Do not submit oversized documentation unless it is necessary.
• Send single-sided copies of your supporting documentation.

I plan on requesting a letter from my employer or employer supplied health insurance company stating that I will be able to add my husband upon arrival. It's my understanding that you need to prove that the beneficiary will be able to obtain health insurance, so my thought is that the letter should be sufficient evidence of that.

There's a "rich" guy from Greenwich, CT (one of the most uppity towns in the US) who met a "model" on a yacht.  Yes, we know what kind of women are on those yachts to "cater" to international "business men".

Maybe Darcey will somehow snake her way into that for some more screen time, isn't she from CT too? 

In my experience, A third party carrier would ultimately deliver it... It will get there, probably not as expedited as we're accustom to here. But it will arrive. I'm sure you're already aware, but be sure to include a phone # with the address!

Has anyone been using the app visa tracker? I check that more than the actual website. I was wondering how accurate it is..

I haven't used it. I want the info right from the source, you know. That's a third party app, isn't it?
