I check at least 3 times a day! I am almost at 40 days and I have seen people approved at 40, 49, 59 days so I keep hoping I will get lucky too.. I know the chances are slim but I pray for under 3 m

Finally called them today to ask where my case was...told me it was in Missouri at the National Benefits Center..Any idea what this means? I was under the impression(probably wrong as this ####### is confusing as anyone could imagine) that the case got transferred to a local office for processing...obviously this hasnt happened...is this bad? Normal?

Thanks

Well, that makes me feel good that nothing is amiss. Still frustrating...seeing as your case was processed in the same facility and you got your approval over 2 months ago. :bonk:

Yes but remember not all timelines are the same. Those of us that got approved faster were very lucky. Before I got approved I had a spreadsheet started with all the 12/4 CR1's . There were like 700 for that day. (totally crazy) only less than 1% was approved when I was approved.

I had a spreadsheet started with all the 12/4 CR1's . There were like 700 for that day.

Just curious, how did you know which I-130 are actually CR1s?

I've been tracking a week-long of MSC numbers from mid-December, but all I can see is if they are I-130s. And they were averaging at over 1000 a day!

I think on the USCIS website all family based visas show as CR1's. I know what you mean there are a bunch. Like I said I was looking at over 700... just of 12/4

No, not all of them. I-130 petition can be for relative (spouse, parent, or child), fiancee, or orphan, and all of those have different visa codes.

Yes you are correct I read his question wrong. The answer is no there is no way of knowing what I130's are CR1 and what ones aren't.

Its still incredibly frustrating. I Just checked the 20 case numbers after mine, and at least 75% of those 20(which were i-130) were approved. I swear, I would pay to see what is going on inside these offices.

Today was my standard interview for my husband's 130. Our file began at NBC but was transferred to the Baltimore field office. I am pretty sure we ended up there since they might be counting our wedding date as happening while he was in "removal proceedings". The interview was good .... and 5 hours later i got our NOA2 via text message. NVC here we come!!!! Good luck to the December filers who are still waiting.
