Good morning,

What's the average timing these days of a spousal visa.

Regards,

Rusty

The movement you describe is not an indicator of speed. ..and quite common. ‘You will have approval without an RFE whenever they get around to it . 

Had you posted before filing , I would have said FILE ONLINE and keep it UNDER 30 pages . 
 

But attorneys seem to be resistant to change , so many balk at online ….but USCIS prefers it and that step completely avoids the mailroom / service center shuffle / queue for scan and organizing those weighty 300 pages .
 

Thank you kindly for that, I appreciate it.

UPDATE: I opened the document received today and is my online access code and at the bottom left it says the USCIS TSC SV Center.  Yet the envelope said Potomac as return address. The original submission was to Nebraska.  It seems this online access code notice date aligns with the date that reflects actively being reviewed - both the USCIS account access date and the date of actively being reviewed are both 12 Mar.

I JUST LOGGED IN ONLINE AND IT SAYS ESTIMATED TIME FOR DECISION IS 4 MONTHS.

Have a great evening!

What is the big indicator that mine is moving fast?

Is it that I received the "being actively reviewed" so quickly? Would transferring my case from Nebraska to Potomac cause the status to change to being actively reviewed. Thanks guys - this is all new to me!

These data collection sites are interesting base on groupings of submissions.

I think my 25 years legal background made be present the kitchen sink, bathroom and the backyard lol. Things like where she is in my estate plan, bank accounts, life insurance, credit cards, her military dependent ID card (I am retired army), etc. All valuable evidence I believe 😉 we will see 

I doubt the attorney actually submitted everything. He probably prioritized what he selected. He has a 99.5% success rate since 2002. Sound like this may be a good sign based on what ya'll say. Thanks so much for the feedback and your time. I hope you have a great day.

no legal issues, lots of photos, calls, gifts, travel, and bona fide evidence 😉

I submitted my I-130 (US Citizen for my foreign spouse) in Feb 2024. It was submitted on Feb 27, 2024 and receipt acknowledged on Feb 29, 2024. I got another notice today which I believe now indicates Potomac (originally submitted to Nebraska) and a new status of actively reviewing as of Mar 12, 2024. Is it possible that this is a good sign in terms or favorability or processing time? My submission was full of evidence, tabbed, indexed, organized and over 300 pages. It was also submitted by a renowned immigration lawyer.
