December 2015 I-130 Filers

[LookyWhatIFound 38]

My interview was on the 4th Dec 2015, and to date my case as been updated 5 times but still I. AP. After the interview the Co said my case was approved but I needed to submit an additional piece of document which I did a few days after. I was also informed by the embassy that the document was received and they will continue to process my visa. My question is. Is this the usual? And is there anyone who have been through similar situation? And how long did it take to get the visa?

Hi, in this thread people have just begun the I-130 filing process so nobody here has been through the process yet. You probably want to create a topic with your question as the title, one level above this thread where the people that might be knowledgeable on this will see your post and reply.

I think since you were missing information that they needed and if they are satisfied with what you provided you'll be out of AP, hopefully soon and get your visa. Since your case has been updating it is a good sign!

Good luck!

Well folks it looks like a bit of good news to start us off. I checked the USCIS website this evening and saw the following.

"On January 6, 2016, we approved your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number WACXXXXXXXXX. We will mail your approval notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

Didn't get an email notification yet so I'm going to wait until I get my NOA2 in the mail before definitely saying I'm in my way to NVC. However let's hope this is the first of many quick I-130 turnarounds for Dec 2015 filers.

I'm filing from abroad and at California Service Centre.

Priority date only really applies to visa categories that have an annual limit (e.g employment). The US only issues a certain amount of certain visas every year so they assign priory dates to applicants to manage the inflow. You don't become eligible for a visa until your hit your priority date.

The good news that there is no limit to spousal visas (fiancé too I think). That's why you have a priority date before the notice date, your priory date is the day USCIS received your I-130 and the notice issued two days later telling you this. I got the same in my NOA1, priority date 15 Dec and notice date 17 Dec.

Bored is one thing, tired and frustrated is another. I am trying not to check the website everyday for changes. I miss my hubby and want to add to my family. This is nerve wrecking.

Mkatel0317, my spouse is a US citizen so I'm IR1/CR1 visa category. F2A is for spouse of a LPR (green card holder) IIRC.
