Check your status on the uscis website. If it went to California, it probably hasn't even been looked at yet. We sent in ours on September 17. They received it September 19 and it hasn't been touched since.

I'm sure your petition is sitting on a desk somewhere waiting to be looked at. Don't stress too much yet. We should hear something soon.

Oops.... Didn't mean to quote you! Sorry.

"Illegal Husband" did he enter the country legally or legally with some type of visa?

That 5 months processing time is stated as a "goal" it is not a definite.

You refer to your husband as "Illegal Husband" how did he enter the country?

If she stated that her husband was Illegal. It most obvious that he entered the states Illegally.

When i filed my petition, it took about 4 months. But i have friends that have been waiting for several months. On the other forums that i'm on, i believe its taking longer because august-december waivers have been shipped to numerous locations outside of Juarez. Including to the California office. I think it is causing a backup of approving petitions as well. I hope this helps. If you'd like to message me you as more then welcome.

I'm not the original poster, but I am quite curious -- is this even possible? Can you enter the United States illegally, stay here (presumably with no legal status) for eleven years, and then submit an I-130 in an attempt to gain status? Wouldn't you at that point simply be deported and then subject to the 10-year ban?

Then it is not possible for your husband to AOS (Adjustment of Status) based on the I-130 petition your attorney filed. Your husband will have to exit the country and travel back to Mexico to be interview at the consulate there. The problem with that is, your husband has been in the US illegally for 11 years, also known as -- EWI (Entered Without Inspection). Unfortunately, your husband is subject to a 10-bar -- that bar is triggered the moment his crosses the border back into Mexico.

Be prepared with a waiver at the time of interview so as to save time with a possible approval.

Your attorney should've told you that it is not possible to AOS while in the US.

Not necessarily, there are thousands that enter the US legally, then become out-of-status on their visas by overstaying beyond the date on the I-94. So one can enter legally and later become illegal.

THe OP is not doing AOS, so there is no point in scolding her for something she isn't doing. She seems fully aware of the ban, waiver, trip home, etc. That is what she is doing.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

Not scolding her at all, unfortunately you took it that way. That is not the tone of that post.
