Thank you guys!! ❤️❤️ 

I was shocked when I received the notification because I was hoping my case will be approve by the end of October (also according to my timeline). We just lucky to got early approval. 

Praying for you guys that you will hear a good news soon!! See guys at NVC stage!! 💕💕💕

If u r not a US citizen ...then it will be forwarded to CSC...LRP takes about 2yrs and during that period if u become US citizen u can upgrade your petition...but for now CSC is your base

I’m not a US citizen yet, so I guess that why it ended up in CSC. I do have the N-400 pending so hopefully it will be moved closer.

I just see others being approved in under 6 months and it’s a little infuriating not knowing how much longer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for those couples but I wish I had their luck. We can complain together!

I wish it was first come first served kinda thing but its like a lottery. I just contacted tier 2 officer, and the officer said my case is still under review. 😔

Requested an expedite though my California Senator, Kamala Harris. My senator’s office informed me today that USCIS had approved my I-130 and would be forwarding my case to NVC. They said I should get my NOA2 in 3-5 days. As it’ll forward to Paraguay where I’m residing throughout August, it’ll be more like 2-3 weeks. Our situation is very specific however so I don’t think my lessons learned will apply to many others unfortunately.

@ChrisJay11 hey, can I ask what was your reason to expedite. I want to know if perhaps I could do the same in my case. And how did you contact your senator about it? It would be of so much help if you could let me know.

I spoke with Tier 2 officer about my case and surprisingly she said US citizen case takes anywhere between 5to 7 months...I was little surprised as to the website says 7to 9.5 months...confusing ...but anyway she said the file is on somebody’s desk and it will get it’s turn soon...BTW PD 4/24..NSC..

Yes the websites processing times have gone up. So weird, I’d love to know how/in what order they process cases.

My NOA1 is 04/06 Texas SC so exactly 6 month. 

Fingers crossed we’ll get approval soon!

The customer rep was nice enough to transfer me to Tier 2 officer without any issues...and then I was told I will get a call back from USCIS and which I got it with in 15 minuets...officer was nice and said to just wait for a little as it was at somebody’s desk to be processed...so just hoping soon would be the best answer I got...

Very easy, its just that they won't have much answer for you. They just ask you questions to make sure you are the petitioner.

Anyone approved from California? Live in Texas but application was sent to California for some reason. 

My case is in CSC (PD: 4/18/2018), my husband submitted the petition while he was LPR. Last month we filed Form I-485 after he naturalized, not sure how fast they will approve the petition.
