How accurate are the timeline estimates?

[Mr Trav 15]

I recently checked my timeline estimate...I got my NOA1 or my spousal visa for my wife on Sept 5. The timeline says...

 

Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between July 8, 2019 and July 31, 2019*. 

 

Adjudicated means the visa approval date or what?

 

And how accurate are these timelines...if no RFE?

That is the estimated date for just the I-130 approval. You still need to add the NVC time and interview at the embassy or consulate. That estimate is based off of the timeline data input by other users of Visa Journey (remember VJ, is just a small percentage of all the petitioners).

 

Good luck

All VJ timelines are "guess-timates." See this related thread:

Educated SWAG.  After petition approval then the processing becomes much more unpredictable due to so many different consulates having different timelines
