This time we carried an abundance of evidence including about 300 printed pages of chats sampled from 3 years (17,000 pages) worth, as well as printed evidence of continuous ongoing financial support (many Xoom transfers per month), evidence of cash on hand, bank and investment accounts, a stack of about 300 pictures from our visits with each other over the years, and even a secondary Affidavit of Support from a friend. It is critical to have your story straight and be able to talk and share information clearly about your relationship to the visa officer. This time our visa was approved without any issues. Good Luck! Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 251 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 609 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
