but I just worry that it will either be to late to travel due to being to far gone or the babies born and we have to do the whole petition again.

 

Read this then bookmark it for later. It tells about registering your baby's birth at the US Embassy and getting his/her US passport and Social Security number. You will still register your baby's birth in the UK and get the UK birth certificate. This is a second registration with the USA. You will go to the US on a visa. The baby can travel as a US citizen if born before you get your visa.

Hello, does anybody have a rough estimate of how long the process is after the i130 is approved? 

 

It would be good to have a bit of an estimate as I've recently found out I'm pregnant and I know you can't travel after 7/8 months being pregnant. And would just like to know how long everything roughly takes. thank you 

It depends.. mine was at California Service Center and it took 558 days to be approved. Then, there’s that NVC stuff before the interview..  some service centers are faster though!! Good luck

Im going on 7 months as well and was getting nervous, but I was told it can be up to 8 or 9 months now

USCIS approval at Texas Service Center took us exact 7 Months. 

You could try to have them expedite your case since you are Pregnant and you do have Valid reason.

Pregnancy is not a reason for expedite.

It's okay, it's on my the 7th month they've had our application now. It's almost our receipt date and I've only just found out I'm pregnant. I'm allowed to travel if I have a low risk pregnancy and if I'm under 38 weeks.

That's okay. What is a K1? All this stuff is so confusing right... just to be with someone you love lol

It is about 5-6 months post-I130 currently. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower depending on if you’re ready to submit the packets and also on your embassy.  If they’re backlogged for appointments, you’ll be delayed for an interview. If not, you’ll probably have about a 5 months wait after NOA2.

Moving to Bellingham? Not far from me and I’m also from the UK. 

 

The key to the next stage is being prepared. You have no control over the speed which the I-130 is approved but the next stage is very much in your control. The quicker you get your documents together, the quicker your interview will be set up. Do you have your ACRO certificate yet? If not, get it now. Do you have police certificates from anywhere else you may have lived as an adult? If either of you were divorced or widowed before get certified copies of the divorce decree/death certificate now. Has your spouse competed the I-864 and get his tax transcripts? If not, get them now. Get everything ready so that as soon as the NVC case file is ready you can press the button and send all your documents.

Oh wow really ☺️ That's good to know I have a fellow uk citizen near by. Thank you for the information. I will definitely start getting those documents together so things are faster and smoother. It's been almost 7 months now and we're near our reciept date, so hopefully we hear soon. I visited Seattle and felt like an ant compared to all the bulidings lol

Yes, use the 7 or 8 months waiting for approval of the I-130 to get ready for the next stage. 

 

I’m not in Seattle, by the way. I just have that on my profile as it’s the nearest major city. We are in a cabin up a mountain in the Cascades, in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful! You will really like living in Washington. Spring and summer are perfect. The only time I don’t like it here is Christmas.

Mine took 7 months after NVC received the petition, this includes around 2 months of delaying the AOS submission, so I would say around 5 months.

It may take 5 to 7 months

Hey there,

 

This all comes down to preparation and your embassy's timeline. After approval most people gets delayed at AOS, so did I, I have tendency to look at everyone's timeline and it seems that's where it slows down because of lack of preparation and its not just lack of preparation sometimes, in my case NVC nickpicked tiniest details, such as please upload documents vertically and it takes them 3 weeks to review one document, then they want another document, once you upload that another 3 weeks, Lol you get the point. One document took me 2 months at NVC, so sometimes its just not in your hand.

- After approval add atleast 1 month for NVC to receive

- Count atleast 1-2 months at NVC to get your documents approved after you upload them.

- Then there is interview, I just checked wait time based on people's feedback, average time to get interview at UK seems 50 days, so add that, here is the link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xbLl_8yDgHLeDaLnTrPdYc44J0sjPSFfYCKxlKx6uTY/edit#gid=0

 

Based on information I've gathered it seems around 5 months after approval from uscis.
