     Oh gosh!! What os going on with this increase in timelines?!?! It keep hearing different responses from people. Some people say the timelines are not accurate and each case is processed different, in terms of the type of waiver, for who, complexity of the case etc.. but still you wouldn’t even be able to talk about outside of processing times for like 3 years. Does anyone have any recent approvals ?

I noticed that on the page for i601 processing times it has a note that says “We converted Form I-601 from our older cycle time methodology to our newer processing time methodology. So, you may notice a difference in processing times this month.” 

 

does this mean that the 26 month wait time is just for “this month” or is this permanent. I think going from 12 mnths to 14 mnths to then 26 mnths is a bit extreme. Also does anyone know what the newer processing time methodology is ? Is it suppose to be better than the old ? 

no idea! Did you ever find the answer? I have been trying to look everywhere and cant seem to figure out if its a truly timeline or not. I know every case is different but it went up to YEARS from month to month.

The last few reports I have seen mention 2 years.

That’s crazy! Before covid it was just a couple of months. A few weeks ago it was a year and recently its like 30 months.. i thought they are going to speed things up. How long did your waiver take?

Hi all! Feel free to share your journey on how long this process has been/ how long its been taking you and where you are currently standing! Lets all support each other!

Congratulations so happy for you. Hopefully we all next soon 

When was it approved?

Ty! Yes!!! Everyone start getting them approvals. Nov 7

Hi everyone! I have a question, once you are approved for the i130, and uscis says they send an approval letter to the NVC. What exactly happens next? I’ve recently been approved for i130 but I haven’t received any email or letter yet.. sorry for the question i just figured some most of you are already past this stage you guys would have the best and most up to date info

Thank you!!

Im over 14 months and its so annoying!! Many of us are in the same boat. i think they did pause i130s, i try so hard not to feel sad when people who submitted months after us are at a different service center and are approved because I know the feeling of being separate from your partner and its so difficult. I just wish they would speed up the process its kind of ridiculous!!!! 

What’s going on in Potomac… these wait times are becoming absurd. 

True. I didnt even know they can give you that much information about waiting for background checks, i always thought they could just tell you the processing center and that’s pretty much it. So the advice is to just wait until the other country gives the background check? So its still just the waiting game? 

That is really annoying and beyond frustrating. It’s also so upsetting that Potomac is soooooooo slow! It’s not acceptable. And of course all we have to do it wait. Im surprised you were able to reach an agent and they gave you that much info! Lets try to be as positive as possible. I dont remember where i read or saw but supposedly Potomac is now processing july 20ish 2021 cases..

I did. They told me they contacted uscis and they usually give them about 4 week to respond... Still waiting 

When did you send it? did you wait till you were outside of processing times or did you do it right away. Also, what info did you write? Sorry for all the questions I feel like idk where to even start 

Has anyone reached out to a senator? Are they any helpful?? 

Yea its so frustrating. I dont know why the cases are even transferred there either. Tomorrow is 14 months!!! Lets  pray that we get approved already! It’s about time we get approvals!!! 

Hi everyone. I am so tired and frustrated from “keeping myself busy” and not checking every day multiple times a day. Like is Potomac just not working anymore?? It’s ridiculous how they are making us wait this long!!! 

Next week will be 14 months!!!!!!!! Guys im really wishing already we will be approved! Any updates from anyone?

Idk what is going on with Potomac but soon it will be 14 months!! Why is it taking them so long? I wish we will be approved already
