How long before a case is assigned to an officer?

[Joee 0]

Hello Everyone,

I applied in September for I-130 and I-129F for my wife. I called USCIS today and spoke with an immigration officer. He told me that my case has not been assigned to an officer. I asked him how long before it is assigned and he would not give me a clear answer or an estimate. But he did say once it is assigned to an officer, then it moves pretty quickly after that.

Does anyone have any idea how long does it take USCIS to assign K3 applications to officers?

I'd appreciate your answer.

Thanks,

Joee

Did you send both the I-130 & 129F just this September that passed...last month? What Service Center did you mail it to?

I actually did the same...mailed the I-130 in August & I-129F in September at CSC as well. Did you get a NOA for either or? Can I ask, what telephone number did you use to call CSC? And how/what did you do to get through to actually speak to someone? I have had such a hard time to get through and speak to someone live.

Thank you.

I called the 800 number that is USCIS website. 800-375-5283. I chose the option "if there is a problem with their case" and got through.

Well, I'd appreciate if someone could answer my original question. How long is the wait for an officer to be assigned to your application.

Thanks.

See my signature for an idea. No, really i think its a ####### shoot and using peoples timelines and estimations arent really helpful. Some people move right through and others dont. My newest theory... its all based on the backround check, and how long it takes.

Take care and good luck. I hope you have a smooth and fast process

The timing depends on many things. As an extremely general guess, count on anywhere from 4 to 8 months. And please create your VJ timeline.

Just saw today someone got their I-130 from original submission to cleared NVC in 2.5 months!! Could be a new record.

The time it takes depends on luck more than anything else: whether your adjudicator is efficient or not and their level of experience with immigration matters. If you're lucky it could take a month to be approved. If you're unlucky it could take over a year. Be prepared!
