Any April I-130 filers?

[Ying's Lao Gong 0]

My I-130 was received on 14 April and it was just approved on 06 August, 114 days... I checked the web site daily, but no touches.

Congratulations to those who've received their NOA2! Got our NOA1 on April 15th and like you, Sweetcitywife, nothing else yet. Must be any day now, don't you think?

I ran across a web site a couple weeks ago that said filers on the 2nd week of April would be approved in 114 days....I fell over when I received the e-mail

and they hit it exactly....I wish I could give you the URL but I didn't save it, sorry.

Congrats to all of the recent April filers, I have not gotten a touch or anything since 4/23. I called the USCIS but they where no help as always. I am starting to feel down, because I see people that have filed after my NOA1 date and they are getting approved and my case has not even been touched yet. Is there any April filers still waiting for a approval?? I know there still are a few, but the list of people still waiting is getting smaller. Anyways I am just trying to keep myself busy because the constant worrying over this is not fun.

Brian you are just ahead of us and no touches on our end as well. I even called to amend a mistake on our paperwork and faxed it but never got a touch out of it. Wife was really tampo last night about all this visa stuff never seen her so depressed she is swearing off VJ because it is just to depressing to her. I do not understand unless an expedite how someone can get an NOA2 before others. Maybe ours both are in the same batch and they are on vacation. At least at the NVC you are more informed as to the staus of your case this USCIS is really patience trying. We are not in too bad of shape looking at the leftovers from the March filers unless alot of them have not updated their timelines which I'm sure some have not. Anyways good luck I really watch your timeline because ours is so close and I cannot wait to get the wife to VEGAS only 7 hours from here easy drive.

Hello Chrisvy, we are an April filer and we are still waiting for an approval as well. The 5 months is not until next month, so we have to be prepared for the arrival to not come till next month as well. But im feeling the same way as you. At least when you get the approval you know for sure you dont have to start over. I did call them two weeks ago and there was no touches from that call and i did an expedite on my case with that phone call and they send me an email that same day telling me it was denied, that i didnt submit enough evidence, and i was like they didnt even ask for any. It was like they didnt even look at my case, just sent an email saying the expedite was denied. And there were still no touches even with that phone call and request. So im still waiting just like everyone else. I guess patiently, but getting upatient. I see a lot of people have filed after me and are getting their approvals which i cant understand. Guess there are different case workers and ours is slower or on vacation. Who knows. But im glad we all on here can talk on here and get ideas from each other on what is going on. Also with the phone call the lady told me that the five months is not up, so no review request will be taken until my case is past the timeline they post.

Good luck everyone and im praying for all of us, sweetcitywife

don't worry too much guys, my case status online never indicated any updates before the approval. as long as you sent everything they may be looking for, i believe they will approve the case at their first look(touch). i really hope the USCIS would keep the pace to get all cases reviewed/approved in a FIFO(first in first out) way.

April filers can expect a approval any moment now.

Thanks Chrisvy,

You mentioned that you are 7 hours away from Vegas, where do you live, because I am in Vegas and I will be flying to the philippines in 9 weeks via PAL, is your wife flying to US on PAL? I was able to buy a round trip ticket for only 774 total fare, including taxes, will be in Phillipines for two weeks.

I prefer Northwest myself. But have never flown PAL. I usually fly from Boise to seattle or portland then to tokyo then manila. I live in Twin Falls Idaho. Not sure if you remember but it is the place where Evel Knievel tried to jump the snake river canyon in the rocket. Most likely will not get back to phils until November or December. I just want the visa process over with and then if we have to wait until then it will be easier. Vacation time is limited for me and unfortunately during the holidays the tickets are almost triple what they are now. Last year I paid $2400 for a ticket december 22 to Jan 3. Then I paid $1200 for march 1 to March 22. Monsoon/typhoon season so may be a reason tickets are a bit cheaper now. My wife lives in Angeles City area where the old clark airforce base was. Now just to figure out how to get a stainless steel bodied Jeepney home I would be all set.

For all of you not getting updates online... I filed March 30 for my Wife and Son, they were approved August 5, and I got the papers August 11. I checked online at that time, and it had not even been updated saying that they had been approved. So don't fret about the online status.
