hang in there. my i-130 was filed november 2020. no approval yet

u guys didnt do anything wrong. you just have to wait patiently. my friend filed in october 2020. 9 months until her combo card and dead silence. no GC in near future yet. 

Unfortunately initial EADs are now taking a year or more.  Advance Parole longer.  It is unlikely you did anything to cause these delays.  
 
Yes most K-1s experience with your husband does. I know of couples waiting 3 years 
 
 

Thank you for your encouragement. I wish you both a fast NOA2. I was informed ours is now moving to the embassy but I didn’t bother tracking it yet because I suspect it will still show “At NVC.” I’ll track today however because I heard (unconfirmed) that some embassies don’t even tell you or the fiance when they receive it so you have to be careful not to let it sit and expire! 

Hi guys, I cannot remember if I’ve asked this yet but, our K1 application moved to NVC in December (12-2). 
 
I called NVC last month and they confirmed they have ours and gave me the case and invoice numbers.
 
Operator told me Seoul hasn’t requested it yet. Does that mean it will wait at NVC until US embassy Seoul requests K1 applications from NVC?
 
I just feel weird letting it sit there as if I’m doing something wrong. I don’t want it to expire at NVC because of our inaction.
 
Is there anything we need to do to move our K1 from NVC to Seoul embassy? Or just wait on the embassy to request it and move it forward?

We got approved today! 
NOA1 receipt date March 31, 2020
NOA2 approval date December 2, 2020
 
Same-sex couple, foreigner from Korea. (In case any others in the future see this and want to know it’s possible.)
All I have to say for those still waiting or wondering if their file was lost, just keep the faith. There is hope. I won’t lie, I was losing hope but you will get a response at some point.
 
See you all on the other side. 🤞

Hello all,
I would like to throw my hat in the ring and just give an update on where my fiance and I are to help put others at ease with more information. It’s not necessarily amazing info, but may help you feel your case is more “normal” as we are also still waiting.
 
Fiance is from Korea. California is our service center. Our I-797C says our receipt date is March 31, 2020. We are still waiting for NOA2 (226 days of waiting as of today). Fell out of normal processing times window at the end of October. Sent inquiry/outside normal processing time request start of November and was told wait until Nov.25, 2020. 
 
I’m happy I found this forum because now I feel more at ease knowing there are a lot of delays. I was getting paranoid that we were delayed because we are a same sex couple.

Nice to see someone on the same date as us! 
we are also March 31,2020. Raised our inquiry after the normal processing time (Oct 31,2020) and got the response on Nov 6,2020 as attached  in the picture below. 
Hang  in there and good news will follow along. I’m trying to keep my expectations as low as I can , so it will be a big surprise when I hear it before than I anticipate. 

I know it’s difficult but the least we can do right now , and also happy to see some movement on March 16/17 dates last week. So we are getting there and maybe in next couple of weeks will be us!!! 
stay safe and well everyone....

Don't worry  I know it must be really stressful, wanting to hear back ASAP and stuff. 
Just remember that the original timeline of 5-7 months don't really apply anymore. It's also not really first come first serve, as some December 2019 files are still waiting to hear back. 
Good luck!
