London USCIS

[adastra 0]

Hi all,

My husband and I filed through the London USCIS recently. We've been watching the I-130 processing times (http://london.usembassy.gov/dhs/uscis/i130filing.html). Originally it seemed like things were taking about 3 months -- but since then its seemed to slow to a crawl -- now it looks like applications are taking 4 months to process and the duration only appears to be getting longer.

Anyone know what's going on? Has anyone had their application approved earlier than indicated on the website? Has London suddenly lost all of its staff or is the site just not that accurate?

Thanks!

Laura

Oh Laura, i think that the guys from USCIS London are having a party with the girls from USCIS Frankfurt . I see it takes forever for my petition even if they say only 90 days .

Good luck,

The date on the website is the oldest date on any petition that they're currently processing, so they could potentially be processing much more recent petitions but just not finished all old ones yet. So I wouldn't worry yet.

I submitted mine 17th January and I got my Notice of Approval on 14th April so that's less than 3 months. In between those two dates the whole Adam Walsh thing kicked off which I assume slowed everything down.

Ours took a shade over two months, August to October 2005.

I filed my I-130 on 17 January as well, and I got an RFE on 14 April. I can only assume that if I had put in the evidence they needed it would have been an approval on the 14th instead! Don't worry, 3 months is what it stands at currently. It did speed up for a couple of weeks (probably due to lower number of applications coming in over the Christmas/New Year period) but it has settled back down to normal service.
