Hi. My first post here and I'm little confused.

We filed for I130 and got a letter back dated April 15.'09.

US Citizenship website still only reads that our case was received and pending in April. And time table for I130 is 5 months.

My question is how unusual this is, should we be worried and is there anything we can do like call them.

Thanks a lot.

If it were me, I would call (5 mos 8 days seems like you have been reasonably patient to make an inquiry). There contact page has the 1-800 number:

I am an April filer like yourself and I received my first NOA on April 6. I am now in the final stages of the NVC awaiting an interview date. Many of us that received notices seem to be progressing well. I'd say it's definitely time to make a call.

Good Luck

Once you hit the 5 month mark you can ask for an investigation into your case. 5 months is enough to request a formal look into your case. Call the number and there is an option if you are outside their normal processing times... Give them a call and get them looking into your case.
