Case Was Received At My Local Office

Hi everyone i am new to this forum and i don't know much regarding immigration process, i have a question and i hope you guys could help me out.

On November 29, 2015, we received your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Receipt Number EACXXXXX, at your local office. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

A year has almost passed but the status is still the same. Is it normal to wait that long ? an advise or response will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Who are you petitioning?

Cases are transferred to local offices when USCIS feel the need to conduct a face-to-face interview to establish more facts about the case. It can take along time for an interview to be arranged.

hello JFH thank you so much for the prompt reply.

Neither i am petitioner nor the applicant actually my mother is the primary applicant and my aunt ( my mother's younger sister) is the petitioner.

it already has taken a long time, i am really confused whether they will give any decision or not.

If your aunt is petitioning her sister then the wait is at least 13 years (possibly up to 25, depending on where your mother was born). So USCIS are in no rush to make a decision as she has to wait a long time for a visa to be available for her anyway.

Do your mother and her sister share the same parents (both mother and father) and are the parents listed on both birth certificates? Did they grow up together? Sibling petitions have complications where the individuals are half-siblings or did not grow up together (e.g. The parents divorced and one lived with mother and the other with father).
