I don't understand what you mean...

But if it refers to the petition validation date, the consulate will automatically extend it as long as you are actively persuing the visa.

Hey Joye,

Got your PM-sent one back at ya...

They extend the I-130 until the security checks are done. I wish you the shortest security check in all of history...

It was a pleasure staying up and chatting with you, sister. : )

I am not far if you need a laugh, or have a need to vent.

Don't worry about the timing. They will notify your husband as soon as the check is done. Now a days, they do all these checks specially on male applicants.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
