Hello everyone,

I got married 3rd Feb, 2013 and my wife submitted her I-130 (US citizen filing for spouse) on 2nd April, 2013. I received a text and email confirming the case has been accepted on 4th April, 2013. E-mail says that :

"Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing"

Its already 6th month going on and still USCIS website shows that my application is under 'initial review'. I am tired of checking status updates daily (as it remains same and pissing me off crying.gif ).

1. Does anyone know what are the processing dates for NBC for i130?

2. When i am checking USCIS website, in the table for timeframe there is no listing of i130 at all. So i don't know why my case is at NBC. Also, the website was updated in June .

3. Its already 6 months and i came to know that this petition takes around total of 9 months. Is there something fishy in my case.

4. I have a brother-in-law (US green card holder), he applied for his wife on 12th April, and already got approval and got his NVC case number too. He is in process of filing AOS. It is really disappointing for me that my wife is a US citizen and we are still waiting. Called USCIS call centre 3 times but same answer - WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT.........

There is nothing fishy about it. I have filed for my wife in March and still on initial review, they are just very slow at NBC. Hang in there!

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

it is a very frustrating process and you will need patience

take your frustrations and redirect them to reading posts for several hours ... your answers are all there

is your file at nbc?? maybe and maybe not

was it transferred? is it going to be processed at the new facilty?

lots of questions that will give you a better understanding of where you are

also, not to say that you are lying but there is NO WAY an LPR (green card holder) can file a 130 and get approved before a citizen unless they are on a work visa and did a thingy to get their wife here, but that too is questionable

Just recently one VJ'er had her F2A approved super quickly, within a few weeks or so. Can't find it now..

OP, I am in the same boat as you are. I have been following this forum for quite some time and finally thought I would sign up. My wife and I are still waiting on NOA2 to arrive, I am going to be contacting my senator and congressman this weekend, this is getting quite frustrating tbh.


Oh btw, our case status doesn't even show up online!

Thank you! And to second - LPR getting approved b4 a USC IS possible and happens quite a bit!

This whole process is somewhat of a crab shoot lately. It doesn't follow the normal patterns anymore.

The LPR getting approved faster is probably because it was sent to VSC or CSC. Thanks to our completely clueless and misguided immigration system. i-130 files were moved from VSC and CSC to NBC when they got backed up. And NBC started sending it to local offices until they got overwhelmed. Then they started sending i-130 to an office that is yet to be started. Seems like a govt. sponsored musical chair.

Hello everyone,

I got married 3rd Feb, 2013 and my wife submitted her I-130 (US citizen filing for spouse) on 2nd April, 2013. I received a text and email confirming the case has been accepted on 4th April, 2013. E-mail says that :

"Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing"

Its already 6th month going on and still USCIS website shows that my application is under 'initial review'. I am tired of checking status updates daily (as it remains same and pissing me off crying.gif ).

1. Does anyone know what are the processing dates for NBC for i130?

2. When i am checking USCIS website, in the table for timeframe there is no listing of i130 at all. So i don't know why my case is at NBC. Also, the website was updated in June .

3. Its already 6 months and i came to know that this petition takes around total of 9 months. Is there something fishy in my case.

4. I have a brother-in-law (US green card holder), he applied for his wife on 12th April, and already got approval and got his NVC case number too. He is in process of filing AOS. It is really disappointing for me that my wife is a US citizen and we are still waiting. Called USCIS call centre 3 times but same answer - WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT.........
