June 2013 I-130 Filers (merged)

Hi to everyone. I have just joined the group. It somehow helps knowing that there are a lot of couples in your same situation, that have chosen to follow the law and so are suffering the consequences.

Would you know if USCIS prioritize applications regarding beneficiaries from certain countries?

Hopefully by end of year we will all here something from USCIS......

Good luck to everyone!

Hello and welcome!

The USCIS doesn't give preferential treatment to particular countries, but there are some known for high fraud that receive additional scrutiny. Everyone is theoretically on equal footing and processed on a first come first serve basis unless your case has red flags.

I say "theoretically" because things are pretty out of whack right now, but that's largely because petitions are being adjudicated at a variety of different locations, each of which has its own processing time frame.

Gosh reading all these cases makes me feel more anxious about the time frame... I'm gonna have to stop looking at stuff on VJ for a bit.

Its hard not to look because its so sad not To be with my husband! :'( and because looking at other cases get approved makes me feel like our case is getting closer to approval! :/

Well, my husband says that every day you're one day closer to approval. So somehow it is true anyway. Hang in there!

Ok I sent my K-3 today. We'll see what happens.

That's a very good point. I also try to think of it this way: since my wife and I have been married less than two years, every day they prolong this process gets us closer to obtaining an IR-1 when she gets here, meaning no BS removal of conditions or any more dealing with USCIS ever again.

The USCIS website is working again. It has also been updated and now we can find the four Service Centers showing their "official" processing time for I-130s.

It is interesting that all of them show 11 months.... interesting and hard to believe that they give the same information.

I noticed something really weird. All the 3 centres plus NBC shows 11 months average time but Texas centre shows 11 weeks! Looks like it got there accidentally. Not possible is it?

I guess it is impossible.... I would say it is a typo or something like that.
