question about tracking I130/I129F progress

[aslam 0]

Hi,

I saw couple touches on my application in middle of January (the first touch was when I sent the applications in, and this was the first touch in 4 months), but haven't seen anything since. I've seen a couple people getting approved whose timeline for I130/I129F was after me from CSC... What does that mean? Does anyone know how long after the first touch the applications are typically approved? And what does it mean if folks who applied after me to CSC are getting approved before me.. Dooes that mean they are scrutinizing my application, and it might take longer than usual to get approval?

Appreciate advice from experts.

thanks

are you out of the processing times yet? the ones approved before you may have gotten "lucky" or they may be running more security checks because of it being paki.

sorry, i know thats not very helpful

there is no typical time after touches, because touches can mean anything.

good luck!

Every case is different as I found out myself. Some people have been approved before yours and some still waiting as long as a year. NOA1 usually takes up to 10 days, all it states is that they got your application and assigned you a case number. From there on.. depending on your case, you get touch, it means someone look at your case but not completed it,. Some may get touched and no changed on their status. CASE ARE VARIES so make sure you are well prepared for the long journey, or get lucky and get a shorter journey. GOODLUCK!

Any visa can take longer if the beneficiary is from a muslim country.

You can check the timelines for an average of processing times for k3 out of CSC.

The background checks seem to take much longer for Muslim countries, as well as being put into Administrative Processing at different points in the process.
