Processing times for Potomac

[skitlee 0]

I'm confused why I can't seem to find processing times for the Potomac Service Center. I filed our I-130 back at the end of October and I'm beginning to feel impatient for my NOA2 to arrive.

 

I found that YSC = Potomac Service Center based on this website https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do 

On this page: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/  Potomac or YSC isn't on the list.  I also found these charts http://www.visajourney.com/content/ir1cr1historical that don't show YSC either. 

 

Is there a reason why Potomac isn't really listed?

Potomac is the newer service center, which I guess is why it's harder to find the processing times. The USCIS website lists the I-130 processing time at Potomac at 5 months. Mine was recently approved there after 4 months. This seems somewhat faster than at least the Nebraska service center, so if you're feeling impatient after just 3 months, you're in for a long journey here!

 

You can find a list of petitions being processed here:

Just choose Potomac under service center. You'll see the recent approvals, which include cases from July through September. There are still cases from June who have not had their petitions approved. There have been zero cases from October approved yet from Potomac on this site. Be patient... you'll get there!

I received our NOA1 on October 21st Approx 4 months ago for my Canadian husband which is also filed at the Potomac. I'm in hopes, since our dates are so close, mine will be quick as well. What does the NOA2 letter entail? i know financials and family history right? does it ask you to get an apt with a specific Dr & for the interview?

Your NOA2 is just going to tell you that your petition was approved and is being sent to the NVC. NVC will ask for financial info. Medical and interview info happens after the case is complete at NVC.

People filed from December on forward are yet to be approved from potomac. Anyone between September 12 and November 30th are being processed in guess. Take a closer look at the timeliness and analyze.

We had to file an I-90 at the Potomac Service Center in early March after our local post office lost my wife's initial conditional green card. I filed the I-90 online and paid the $540 with my debit card and we got the receipt and biometrics appointment letters online right away and the hard copies in the mail a few days later so I was thinking that maybe the process would go faster. My wife attended her biometrics appointment on March 21 and it shows on our account page that the biometrics has been completed. I had my wife call the customer service number a few days ago to see if they could give her more accurate processing times but the CS agent just read the processing times from the website. I saw on the USCIS home page yesterday that the Permanent Resident and EAD cards have been redesigned to be more secure and fraud resistant and will roll out on May 1, 2017. Hopefully this is the reason for the delay and once the new cards roll out that they will begin issuing cards and update the Potomac SC info soon. It is really frustrating not seeing any progress.

Hi Folks, my EAD renewal application was transferred to Potomac service center. Any one in similar situation and how long is it taking to process renewal EAD (I-765)?

 

Thanks.

Hi there,

 

We recently filed a CR-1 application and just got the NOA1. The application was sent to the Potomac service center. As of April 30, 2017, the USCIS page says this:

 

Form	Title	Classification or Basis for Filing:	Processing Cases As Of Date:
I-130	Petition for Alien Relative	U.S. citizen filing for a spouse, parent, or child under 21	November 10, 2015

 

Note that this says 2015. Can anyone confirm that this is a mistake (maybe someone has called them)?

 

Thanks a lot
