[PK and PK 13]

Hi guys...was wondering whether does the processing timeline for I-130 depend on the beneficiary Country?

ok let me re-frame that Question - Does the timeline involved in getting an NOA2 depend on the Beneficiary Country???

They are processed in the order in which they are received...

The timeline really depends on the ratio of USCIS employees to petitions received...

Hey PK,

It's surprising how many people would think the similar way... Here is a thread of similar question I asked few days back on this forum..

PK and PK,

I dont think it makes difference, specially when your file is at california service center. They already approve I-130 faster then VSC.

Good luck!

I'm not trying to be discouraging but processing times depend on a variey of things such as:

a) date recieved

B) which Service Center it goes through

c) which shelf or desk it lands on or whether a contractor takes it home

d) if that person does their work or uses it for a paper weight

e) the weather

f) the amount pending from your country

g) how long it takes for htem to transfer it from service center to NVC, and NVC to embassy

h) if you have any RFE

i) just about anything else you can think of

There seems to be no rhyme or reason - they have all these guidelines and procedures (they say), as well as posted timelines on their site, but really I am skeptical. Some people are lucky enough to get NOA's in a couple months (one couple have incrediably gone from applying to completing NVC in 55 days!!), some cases take 8 or 9 months just to get an NOA2. Recently the timelines seem to be speeding up at the Service Center's but we'll have to wait to see if that causes a backlog at NVC. Each embassy has a wait time too - some are about a month after case completion and some are more like 3+ months! I hope you are one of the lucky ones that speeds through!! It'd be nice if the USCIS got their process in order so that people like us could predict our lives a little better - wouldn't it?!

I remember back in 2008 a beneficiary from Iraq was approved at VSC in record time, 18 or 19 days. I believe it had to do with where he was from. I think Iraq is a country where the petitions are processed PDQ. The beneficiary really took flack on it, I think it was Rocketman.

Either way, a approved petition is a good petition!!!

It was Rocketta 12 days for a approval. He really took flack on this website for his fast approval. But we all wished it was us in his shoes.
