I'm not surprised. There have been a lot of people recently with PD dates that have exceeded the date listed on the USCIS website. That being said, we're at TSC and this sucks 😕 

You never know.. I'm sorry, friends, but may be after approval the process for you will be the fastest 🙏🏼😊 fingers crossed for all of us🙏🏼

Did anybody else wake up to a notification from the app saying something about normal processing times are back? I was half asleep when I dismissed it but it sounded like the shutdown maybe was effecting the processing times?

I’m looking now on uscis and it does say May 22 and estimated time range changed from 6 to 8 months to 6.5 to 8.5. WTH!!! How can we continue to remain positive when you see something like this? I just don’t understand.

Hi everyone!

 

This is my timeline

Marriage (if applicable):	2012-06-15
I-130 Sent :	2018-08-03
I-130 NOA1 :	2018-08-06

 

Currently waiting on approval...sent to the Nebraska Service Center

timing is 7.5 Months to 10 Months U.S. citizen filing for a spouse

i'm hoping it doesn't take that long....

Hopefully it's not accurate on USCIS website because for Potomac Service Center it's saying "8 to 10.5 months" and as reported on VJ timeline some September filers have already been approved at that service center. We also filed in August and my husband called them about two days ago, waited on the phone for about an hour and the officer was not helpful at all, he basically read what was written on the website that they were taking care of February filers and we should wait for a few more months....which was very frustrating

Ugh...they really know how to test our patience. I am curious if any of those people who work for uscis has ever been through this process or watched a family member go through this? At this point, I’ve lost my mind pretty much that I just wonder and wonder....never EVER did I think I would have to prove to someone how real my marriage is or how much we love each eachother. 🤭

That is bizarre right?!! I understand that they need to prevent fraud, but for us whose marriage is real, having to prove our love to a third party with scrupulously collected evidence is just so forced and unnatural...

The case tracker app. The notification was on my home screen when I woke up and I saw something like "return to normal processing times" then hit the home button and couldn't find it again 😫

Estimated time range for NSC is now from 7.5 to 10 month (instead of 9.5) 😥😞😱

Omg..so it looks like all service centers backed up in a matter of a week? All this when the government re-opened.  And they say that USCIS wasn’t affected by shutdown.  I really don’t get it.
