it takes from 4 months - 12 months (sometimes longer) to get a decision on the petitions with an average of 8 right now. You have a wait ahead of you if you just filed.


Thank you for filling out your timeline! :D


You may want to change the consulate though ;)

It will take about 5 months to process your i130, then probably another 3 months to do the actual visa application, affidavit of support, and interview, provided you're ready with all your documents. Do a little research on the full process. The i130 is just the first step.

 

Is your timeline updated?

5 months is an average. I myself have been waiting almost 6 months.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Don't take the average from the USCIS website to heart. Trust me. They will approve some people in 1-2 months due to expedites and others wait over a year. It brings the national average down, but the median wait time is, and has been for years, 6-8 months. Anything faster than that from the USCIS is cause for great joy.

Pregnancy, no. Things like natural disasters in the beneficiary's country, or if the petitioner/beneficiary is dying, yes. There may be some other criteria, but if you are not in immediate danger in some way, usually they won't grant the expedite.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

Pregnancy no chance or everyone would arrive through immigration newly expedited with a huge bump or greeted by someone with a bump! lol.

There is a chance of an expedite with really bad health but expedites are often due to a disaster in the beneficiary's country - Philippines typhoon, wars etc. If you even get an expedite for USCIS you also need one for the NVC stage too.
