I was just reading about it and there is no real current timeline for the application. Boundless esitmates about 19 months so really, a similar timeline. The state website says it depends on the case and the processing but obviously, it comes with less restrictions than the I130. Another website said it is between 4 and 19 months. I would give it a go but I have to live at my mum's house for at least 6 months before I can combine my income with hers for the affidavit of support. It also looks like you end up with an additional fee but well worth it to get our loved ones here! Let us know what you decide to do.

It's crazy. You would think it would be somewhat accurate as this is our lives right now. Families living apart or some trying to get their GC so they can work. I'm a complete mess not being able to be with my husband and my children cant see their dad. So much is going to be missed out on on both sides. 21 years of marriage and we have never been apart for so long. Thinking that it's going to be a year or more before I see him hurts my heart so much right now. I know it will be worth it in the end and we are over a month in so it's still progress, just need to keep that mindset. Ticking off the days.

Aww, crying with you on that one. Even though we know they aren't accurate, its worse seeing such a high number. Hopefully, that will drop next time you log in. I'm holding on to the estimates on their site and the estimate I got here. They both are about the same.

I haven't recieved one of those messages but today, my progress changed to 5 months from 2 weeks and then 2 months. It's quite interesting to see the numbers change so much and all over the place. At least with the changing, it gives me something to look at on my account. I'm in a similar situation, married to my husband for 21 years and sent something to document our lives together over the 21 years. I probably sent way too may photos though!

Thank you. I thought that might be the case and I hadn't really dug into that part until now. So it's good to have that sorted and know what to do now.

That is what I continue to read every day here, lol. I thought if I put this out there and keep it up to date, members can see how it really is and help answer their question on that short time. Mine has been all over the place and I'm not even 2 months in. As much as I would love that short timeline and get my husband over here, it gives me time to sort my finances out and combine with my mum.
-
Yes, completey get that and understand. I will certainly read them a few times before I submit the form at the time needed. I thought I had read somewhere on the page that yes, it's all unmarried children under the age of 21 no matter where they are unless they would be considered an adult where they normally are domicile. However, by the time we are ready to submit, he will be settled and domiciled here in the states with me and that is the part I wasnt really sure about, if it was domicle when filing the I130 or the affidavit of support. But combined with my mum, we will be good for 5 or 6 in the household. I admit, I could have easily misunderstood about counting the household members but will make sure that I do it properly as they need it. Thank you so much for your help. Edited to add: So if we combine, I would count myself, my immigrant husband, my mum, and 3 children? So sorry if that is a stupid question.

I am a US citizen.

Seeing there are lots questioning the USCIS website timeline and the times being all over the place, some long, some very short....I thought I would make this post to follow along with any updates on what I'm getting in 'myprogress' tab. The advice given here was that it currently takes about a year for the I130 process. I'm posting this in hopes that it will help others who were given very short timelines see that it's not always accurate. I have seen others say that sometimes they can be processed sooner but that doesn't seem to be the usual case. There's always hope though, right? Anyway, as I go along with my application, I will update my data here to keep it current until my I130 is completed. As you can see, my dates are all over the place.

Boiler, you are highly respected here. Is my plan going on the wrong path or do you think I have misunderstood something? I know 100% I won't make the financial requirement on my own. But I can if my mum co-sponsors, be it a household of 5 or 6. I will go back and re-read it all. I def. don't want to mess this up. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

My household is 5, possibly 6. My 19 year old son has moved over with us but was considered an adult of legal age when we left the UK. So I don't know if his legal adult status will be from the UK or from here. I take it if he is living and established here at the time of the affidavit of support that we will have to include him in on my household number. However, my financial requirement is going to be high for even 5 so will need to combine my income with my mum. Thankfully, she is happy to do that.

Thank you. That must have been the reason but I felt bad that members had been giving me advice and I couldn't reply to them. It would have been great to go down the DFC route, our situation was so bad but thankfully he was removed from the house by social services and the police. I really feel he was a psychopath and I don't use that term loosely but nor am I a professional. We were just left in a stituation where we were asking for help and they just protected him. By the time his case was sent to CPS, he was in a care home and manipulating staff to hand feed him and change/clean him. We knew from the beginning that he wouldn't pay for his crimes due to his age and mental health but he knew what he was doing. He took his manipulative ways too far in the care home and he never recovered, he died Christmas morning. Now, we just count down the days as we wait for our I130 to be processed. Exciting times ahead!

Thank you for sharing, I'm fully expecting it to change but it does help to see how others is coming along. We just keep ticking the days off the calendar. I'm content with what the real time statistics show, just confused, lol.

Hi there, I filed my I130 18 March 2024 with the same date for IOE. My initial progress time was put at 2 months and then a few weeks in, it changed to 2 weeks. Then last week it went to 3 weeks and back at 2 weeks this past week. I am the petioning wife, moved to the states about 6 weeks ago with our children to get a job and to be able to combine income with my mum. British husband is in the UK. Everywhere you look, it says the process is about 11+ months for the i130 so it's confusing to see such a short timeline on my account. I'm keeping it in my head about the 11+ months so if it is sooner then that would be a bonus.
