Is this a USCIS created app or it's a third party app? I can't seem to find it in the Google play store.

It is a 3rd party I believe. It is called USCIS Case Status.

Thanks for verifying. I actually already have this one. I thought USCIS has released their own version. . The waiting game continues.

Hello Everyone  

 

My husband and I got married on January 12th, 2018 

We sent the I-130 on March 15th, 2018 

They received the application on March 19th, 2018 

The receipt notice was received in the mail on March 22nd, 2018 

Our application is at the Texas Service Center 

I am really confused at the dates you guys are referring to because the dates on the visa journey timeline are way faster than the USCIS processing times dates. Also, when you guys say the dates do you mean for U.S citizens or green card holders. 

 

Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you for everyone posting here it makes me feel so much better , this process is very hard for everyone I am sure

No updates still. How did you receive that Message? Did you ask them for any info for them to reply this to you?

New month and the waiting game continues. Hopefully, September is the month we'll begin to see approvals. Fingers crossed.

It's called case inactivity notification. You can enable it if you want in your USCIS account on their new website: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

Once you log-in, click 'My Account', then click 'Settings'. From there you turn on case inactivity notification. Then provide your email and/or phone number to receive the notification. The notification is sent out once a month (I think) if there has been no action take on your case.

What visa journey timeline are you referring to? In general, VJ just predicts their timelines based on crowdsourcing (meaning based on data provided by site users) but that does not mean it covers everyone. Additionally, depending on your service center the estimates could be different from other people's. The USCIS processing times gives you a range in months that they(USCIS) are using to approve cases.

To get an VJ estimate date for your specific case, add your case to the timeline.

 

The discussion on this thread are for CR1/IR1 applicants (Immediate relatives of US citizens, not permanent residents).

 

Good luck.

Thank you so much. That was very helpful. 😊

Hello everyone. While we wait, is there anything that we can get started on? I know it was mentioned here already but i just cant seem to find the thread. 

[R.DeLeon79 61]

Hey guys. My time is getting closer, I'm a Marchie🍀 (March 12,2018). But, as the time gets closer for my approval I seem to get nervous as each day goes by. I just have a concern and maybe you guys might be able to help me with my concern/doubt. See, this is my 2nd marriage. I also petitioned for my ex husband back in 1998 and he became a resident. We had our 4 kids during our 11 yr marriage. We divorced in 2009. Now that I am happily re married and have petitioned for my husband, I am worried that this may cause an issue. What do you guys think? Am I over stressing?

Oh wow. Congratulations on your approval. Looks like the approvals have started..  What's next is another waiting period with NVC but you are almost there.

You'll have to wait for your approval notice to get to NVC, then NVC will provide you in case number, and will subsequently instruct you on things to pay, do, complete,  mail etc. Read the  simplified NVC process in the link below:
