It seems the paid tracking aspects on TrackMyVisa are only for I-129F applications. But there's some interesting graphs to see for free for I-130's! Thank you guys!
I actually find it very interesting that in the last 28 days the NOA1 month that's had the second most updates is March 2024 after May 2023. The graph almost looks like they're working backwards from March 2024 right now 😅
Hi guys,
I saw a huge jump for CSC so I’m intrigued how these estimated processing times work/are calculated? I have 3 I-130’s, all of which were accepted at Texas Service Centre. 2 of them were transferred to Nebraska and 1 to California.
So, I contacted the medical centre and they responded saying under 12s DON'T require a COVID vaccine as of 1st April 2024.
I can't see this documented anywhere online officially. Can anyone re-confirm if they've seen this somewhere?
Judging by the timelines I've been following online I think you'll be approved any moment. For standard processing times I've seen approvals for max May 26th in these recent days. So you should be next in line any moment now. Ignore the website estimate regardless, that's never accurate nor foretelling of anything.
For all of those who have had recent experiences with getting medicals done for an CR1, were you required to get a COVID vaccine done? Where did you get that done from (I do not see it readily available anymore)? Secondly, anyone know where to get them done for under 12s?
You should be fine! I went last month for 3 weeks with pending i-130 on an ESTA. I did not have global entry but I did do the MPC app thing which took me to a smaller quicker liner (it was actually even shorter than the global entry line) and I was not asked anything other than 'are you here on vacation?' to which I said 'yes'. That was as much interaction as I had.
For those that may benefit from this, I visited on an ESTA and there was no issue at all. I kept proof of residency/ties to home docs with me just in case. I did not need to show them. I used the MPC app which took me to a very small line with just a handful of people in front of me. All I was asked by the immigration officer was 'are you here on vacation?', and I said 'yes'. He was super nice and cheerful. He then took my fingerprints and stamped my passport, said 'have a nice trip!' and that was that. I was out super quick of the airport. Hopefully this can help anyone reading up on this!
We have 3 applications - 2 are for step-children.
From the start it showed one step-kid as 4 weeks (then when that time ran out it showed 'taking longer than expected'). The spouse showed as 3 months. And second step-kid showed at 6 months.
I see so many posts on here regarding expediting requests, and majority of the answers are how that's not a good enough reason.... I don't see any post here that shows you what a valid/good reason actually is to expedite. I feel like every reason that would cross my mind as a valid expedite request has been vetoed on here - so I am genuinely curious now.
I'd like to know on here if anyone had their request to expedite approved, what was the reason you gave? Or if anyone knows of anyone elses experience and what the specific reason for expediting was that got approved?
I know it's early days yet, but would love to start a thread here for fellow Sep23 filers so we can track progress together!

I am contemplating the filing of an I-129F. Not sure yet.
