F2b PD 2013-2 still waiting for 130 approval

[Bboorrcchh 5]

hi guys,

 

my 130 is in vermont center since Feb., 2013 and I am still waiting for approval. Is there anyone in the same condition? I am so frustrated that it takes such a long time to process the I-130. 

 

Is there anything I can do? Many thanks for any advice.

 

Some guy with PD of June 2013 has already got the welcome letter from NVC.

I am also waiting on my i-130 from vermont center. My priority date is May 2013.

That's weird it's taking so long. Our PD is 8/13 and we received our NOA-2 in 12/13 even after an RFE. All you can do is call them, but that's unlikely to resolve anything. But your priority dates are still good though.

That's because your service center was California? California center is faster than vermont.

 

It is slow at Vermont center. So frustrating!

I am totally with you on this. why is vermont center so slowwww? In another post, someone with PD Feb 2014 has already got his welcome letter and begun to go through NVC process. One weired thing is that the case summary shows one update on 12/07/2014. However I don't know what is updated for my case. what does it say in your case status?

It says exactly same as yours "Your case was received"  I know another person who filed in March 2013 and his says the same.  Someone on here reported few months back with priority date of Oct 2012 at Vermont center got approved. I believe they have put cases aside and will touch them once priority date gets close. I think that is what happening... because they are backlogged in other cases and other cases such as DACA etc took preference. So frustrating. When you call them, they don't give you a specific answer...its always a general answer. Nothing we can do, just wait.

hopefully our cases can be approved without other hassel, like asking for RFE. December's bulletin shows 45 days movement. I wish Vermont center won't drag us longer than necessary.

F2b filling date started

What matters is the Priority Date.  There are reasons that cases get done sooner such as the petitioner changing from LPR to USC.  Final Actions dates according to the Jan 2019 Visa Bulletin:

 

Family- Sponsored	All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed	CHINA-mainland born	INDIA	MEXICO	PHILIPPINES
F1	22AUG11	22AUG11	22AUG11	01AUG97	01MAR07
F2A	08NOV16	08NOV16	08NOV16	15OCT16	08NOV16
F2B	15MAR12	15MAR12	15MAR12	08JUN97	22JUN07
F3	15AUG06	15AUG06	15AUG06	22DEC95	22JUL95
F4	22MAY05	22MAY05	15JUN04	08FEB98	01SEP95

 

Sure the Center can get it out earlier but it will sit at the NVC until the priority date.
