Permanent Resident

[kaugel2 0]

Hi All,

I am a Permanent Resident of the United Stated.I applied for I130 for my husband in Oct 2011.I received a letter stating that they have received my application but after that I haven't received anything from USCIS. I just want to know how long does it take before I receive USCIS's decision. Whether my Petition is approved or not.Please help

Thanks

try here

http://www.visajourney.com/content/times it says 5 months... but it might be 6 or 7...or maybe 4.

You can also fill in your timeline,where you could see the processing estimates for your type of visa.

Its normal that you havent received anything yet,most of us are also waiting for the NOA2.Myself included...i am an october filer too.

Current wait line for I-130 is 6.5 months. It may be done earlier or may take little extra than its estimate timeline.

Thanks Guys. I guess I'll just for some more time. And yes, in the NOA1, it says that our priority date is Oct 2011.

And you are aware of ~3 year wait for the visa number to be available ? (just checking)

Current wait time @ CSC for F2A is around 8 to 9months; July 2011 filers are still waiting for approval.

Was your petition forwarded to Vermont or to California? Vermont is taking over one year to approve petitions from permanent residents. I am an August F2A filer, we also haven't heard a word since our NOA1.

Oh really, my application was forwarded to Vermont Center (I think the wait is longer in that case). Yes, I am aware of the 3 years long wait I just hope that USCIS clear all their pending cases quickly. Hey, also if someone can tell me what are the chances for my spouse to get a Tourist while his petition is pending. Atleast if he gets a tourist visa, he can visit me once in a while.

Hey Guys, I just saw the Visa Bulletin and the prediction for April 2012 for F2A is OCT 2009 (a straight jump of 2 months). I hope it keeps going on like this

I still haven't heard heard anything from USCIS. Still waiting for NOA2. Filled the petition on October.

It seems like the Vermont Service Centre has stopped processing F2A cases for the moment - the processing times they publish every month have been stuck at 9 January 2011 for at least three months now. We also haven't been approved yet, and I am not expecting anything to happen before the end of summer at the earliest.

But I have a question. In this case what will be the priority date? Is it based on when I received my NOA1 or will it be based on NOA2.I remember NOA1 mentioned priority date being Oct 11.

The priority date is always the NOA1 date, approval won't change it.
