Started I-130 spousal visa process

[MrsMattis 1]

I sent off the I-130 packet for my husband (resident of Jamaica, I live in Connecticut) on July 22,2016 and I received the first NOA notice on July 28,2016 via text then email still waiting on the hard copy. I really hope and pray that if I stay on top of things that the process will go quickly cause our goal is to try and get him here before our bby is born which is the end of March. Good luck to everyone going through this?

hi

that's not going to happen, the process takes a year, so your bb will be born before he can come

Well I can only hope I guess. My sisters husband got here in 8 months and my best friends wife the process took 6 for him he said he looked at the process like a second job lol he would send off one thing then immediately prepare what was next so there was never a delay when he had to send in paper work for the next step. I'm preparing the documents for the AOS now to get that out the way then I'll start on the IV documents it's not easy getting all this paper work together not to mention making duplicates to give to my husband. All their gonna do is shred most of it anyway it makes no since. I'm so tired of traveling I go to Jamaica every 3 to 4 months to see my husband it's such a head ache

My process took about 7 months but, it really depends on the which service center your case was forwarded to. Was your case sent to Nebraska?

[MrsMattis 1]

Yes it was sent to Nebraska and I'm not hearing great things about them and speed

[MrsBurgz 104]

Ok, maybe you should fill in your timeline to get an estimate of when your petition might be approved. From what I have seen Nebraska is averaging about 4 months.

Yes, let's hope. Just remember the NVC stage and the long wait for the interview at Jamaica.

[MrsMattis 1]

I'll keep that in mind and hope for the best, thank u

December 3-23 is the date for USCIS, after that you still have the NVC to get through and then the consulate. Tomorrow is August 1st, there is little chance he will be here by November, it's only 3 months away. Realistically you are looking at a minimum of March of 2017. Good luck!
