I heard today that someone was told by their lawyer that their I-130 would take another 6-8 months as USCIS is giving precedence to deportation deferment cases. I think they filed in September '13. Sounds bollocks to me. Would a uscis representative say this to a lawyer? In theory, we have priority don't we so why say this? Anyone else heard this? I don't know which centre it is going through.

I saw that. What I don't understand is why an official would say it to a lawyer. Kind of blatant and a bit worrying that there seems to be no attempt to hurry up working on family based visas, especially after that article and the response to the petition and letters in Nov. Can't see them making the 5 months by May at this rate.

Priorities shift at service centers all the time. In 2012/2013, I-129fs slowed down for K1s because priority was given to Dream Act cases. It just shifts back and forth. They're basically understaffed all the time.

* I-130/CR-1 visa by Direct Consular Filing in London
3rd May 2013 - Married in London
7th May 2013 - I-130 filed
4th June 2013 - NOA2 (approved)
16th July 2013 - Interview (approved)
30th July 2013 - POE San Francisco
29th August 2013 - 2 year green card arrived

 

* How? Read my DCF London I-130 for CR1/IR1 Spouse Guide

* Removal of Conditions (RoC) via California Service Centre
1st May 2015 - 90 day RoC window opened
6th May 2015 - I-751 filed (delivered 8th May, cheque cashed 18th May)
7th August 2015 - Approved / GC production
27th August 2015 - 10 year green card arrived

* Naturalisation (Citizenship) via Phoenix Lockbox

* San Francisco Field Office:
1st May 2016 - N-400 window opened
20th August 2016 - N-400 filed
26th August 2016 - NOA1
13th September 2016 - Biometrics
