Hello friends,

I am little confused by one thing. I was checking everyone's time line and found that most of the I-130 petitions took around a year or more in approval. USCIS website says it takes 5 months. my friend got approved in 3 months ( all permanent residents filing for there spouses. is it really take that long for just I-130?

Please help me understand if I am understanding something wrong.

Thanks in advance.

For i-130 Spouse of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), yes it takes a long time to get the i-130 approved by USCIS.

If you are a US Citizen filing i-130 for your Spouse, the normal wait is 5 months (sometimes a bit more, some get lucky and gets approved sooner).

You can call NVC directly for a faster response.

If you have an iOS or Android phone/device, you can call NVC for free over WIFI via the MagicJack application. You can download it for free at the App Store or Play Store. I use MagicJack app to call NVC everyday to follow-up my case number.

Thank you for the app,

great deal of saving on phone calls

Thanks! I am hoping to get interview news soon - our case is now in CR/IR category, so that should help. There was someone last month who received an interview appointment for Frankfurt the day their case was completed, so maybe I am lucky and will hear something this week.

Congrats! so how many months did it took for the NVC to complete your case athena?

Thank you! It took about two months since I got a checklist for the IV package.

Yes July 3 (US date).

The dates posted on my timeline/signature are US dates. I'm in the Philippines and we are a day ahead so I just refer to the US date to avoid confusing myself. Lol.
