Hi Luis, 

 

Depending on your country and Service Center this could be the same agony than a lot of us, or your petitioner could ask for your case to be reviewed.

 

What processing center is your case at?

If you don't know, just tell us the first 3 letters on your receipt number.

I am a newbie here, but here is my experience: our case got approved after 4 months ( my husband petitioned for me ). But, I waited for the welcome letter for a bit over a year. I do not know if it depends on a country....

It depends on the country mainly at NVC for your Filing Date for arrive, for NOA2 depends if your husband is a Permanent Resident, and the Processing Center the case was processed. A NOA2 used to take up to 6 months, but it has been stalled, and at CSC the average is around 1 year and 1 month and 1 year and 2 months.

 

What was your Priority Date when you began your case?

In October 31st 2016, they were processing July 2016, however, cases after August have progressed a lot slower than before. My case is still marked as received, since December 2016.

 

What took your case 4 months hasn't happened to my case, even tough it has 1 year and (almost) 1 month.
