I-130 & I-129

[Naveed Hassan 10]

Hi Everyone, I am little worried about this, we have forwarded I-130 in July, and now it’s about 4 months since we have received NOA1 that time we really didn’t know about the procedure then we forwarded I-129, my question is as I am near to hear something and Petition is already entered in 5th month of processing will I- 129 going to effect on I-130 processing time or not, as I have read that they gonna approve them on a same day, and 129 will administratively closed after the approval.

In the past (like when we petitioned) those who submitted the I-129F were approved 6-8 weeks after those of us with stand alone I-130s. So if you ask me, yes the I-129F will slow down your petition.

It will still be closed at NVC and your I-130 will continue

Good luck

Every case is unique. Some cases take little longer than others due to additional background checks or whatever.

Since you are within the officially posted timeframe of the USCIS, you don't have to worry about now. If it goes beyond 6 months, yes, you should worry about and get the help of congresspersons to enquire.
