K-1s and GC holders are getting faster approvals than USC, and we can't do a thing about it.

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

No approvals on 3rd and 4th from NBC. Looks like they only work on CR-1 on first and last two days of month.

NBC loves messing around with people. They approved my case after 5.5 months on September 5th now they still holding that damn file. I just called NVC before they closed and they haven't still received it. Do you guys know how often NBC ships files to NVC?

5th September to 5th October, exactly a month. Of what use is an early approval if they are not going to transfer your file on to the next stage? You've had it easier than the rest of us by being approved sooner, but now seems like they are punishing you for it, I am deeply disappointed with USCIS. Even though I am past the 7-month mark, there is uncertainity about the approval.

Let's hope. That's much better than the 20 or so months they were saying, once NVC and the embassy stages are taken into account and added to the 16.6 month average processing time of the I-130s.

What makes you think this?

Maybe the fact that in the last 12 approvals 5 were from March?

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

i think for March filers the average processing time is 7 to 9 months, the 16.6 is till July, we have to wait for the data of Sept. which is our 6th month i believe. So, Oct. is our 7th month and so on..

anyway, if they go on with approvals, we will be approved by then..

Hello Usman, we both have the same priority date of March 4. I am guessing our approval may be just around the corner as quite some filers after us got approved already.
