Hello. Does anyone know how long it takes from approval to an interview date? I checked the timelines and there were a minimum of 6-month gap and there were numerous cases with 8 months or even a year before the interview. So my question is does it take this long? or perhaps the ones who got their interview dates soon did not update their timeline or something.

Unless you get an expedite you are going to have to wait a bit 😕 you will need to get DQ and then wait for your interview letter which in total can take a couple of months 

7 months and 11 days
Got an Approval under the document tab

USCitizen 

Pd: September 17 2021
AR: September 17 2021
AR2: April 28 2022
Approved:
Originally Nebraska center transferred to 
Texas Center

129f: March 4 and got denied : April 28 2022 

I believe the 129f really helped and suggest filling it out after the i130 🫡

For those who got their “ Active reviewing “ status, Do they also send you a email saying that or not? asking because  I try not to check my account as often

US Citizen and Japan resident and petitioned for my wife (I-130 only) who is Japanese on September 25th. Got PD the same day. Four days later on 9/29, I got a notification that it's under active review. Is it normally this fast?!

I also have some friends who had the same situation but where military and their whole process took 3 months , amazing

Hi everyone,

My sister is going to file I-130 for her spouse. She only has US passport to prove her US Citizenship. Is a copy of US passport enough to file I-130? She doesn't have Certificate of Citizenship or Naturalization Certificate.

Only Americans can have a U.S passport 

I’ll for sure call but I’ve been told the same. 
been told if I get the same center by mail , it’s mostly likely my center 

I filed online and I right away got a receipt notice. If I open the pdf at the bottom left it shows which center I got. 

Filed Sep 17 , got my Receipt number right away and got Nebraska for my service center 

Good luck everyone
