I-130 July 2019 Filers

[S&J2013 117]

So we’re at 7 months today..... I’m 

so happy to see so many of you approved from Texas and slowly Potomac..... us Nebraska people, we’ll just keep hanging on in there. Hoping that as they’ve transferred out a lot from June too that it will mean they can get to us July IOE cases faster than 12 months now too. We’re almost at 6 months since we filed for the I-129f now too so we will hopefully soon be seeing if that will have any impact or not. Stay strong everyone!

Case Approved 2/4/2020 and status updated on 2/7/2020 to case closed. Does this mean that they sent to NVC?

When my I-130 was approved on Dec 18- https://myaccount.uscis.gov/ updated to "Case Closed' also. I never knew it was sent to NVC until we received the Welcome Letter email on Jan 20. The online account still just shows as 'Case Closed'.

 

https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/  Here it still just says 'Case Approved'.

I'm just mentioning because I see others who post it showing "case sent to department of state' and that never happened for us, but we're definitely at NVC!

It's Monday morning, time for immigration officers to head back to work and resume looking at our cases. Lets hope for lots of approvals this week!

Well The last PD approved was July 10th at Potomac. Are you anywhere near that time?

Mine is 11th. In that case it would go fast.

If you guys make your timelines, Visa Journey can give you some estimates about when they think you will hear back.

My PD is the 18th at Potomac. VJ thinks I'll hear back between the 14th-18th this month... we'll see, LOL. Somehow not confident (though if Potomac wants to prove me wrong, by all means, please!! 😂)

🤔 I am about to take a wild guess here with what has been happening with some people getting approved past others pd. It appears that processing times posted on the USCIS website are done by taking an average of date submitted vs date approved. With that said, It makes sense that they approve some petitions like August or even September filers in order to bring down that average when in reality they are far more behind then they say they are 🤨 

 

so it would work like this, every time a large group of new applications gets assigned to them they choose to approve a few within a very short period of time giving them a low average for that group thus bringing down the entire average for that specific service center.  
 

Don’t mind me just ranting here 😖 boy i gotta stop obsessing  over this 🤦🏻‍♀️
 

July 8 PD Texas 😒

I hear you!!  This wait is unbearable.  My PD is 7/24 (TSC), every morning I wake up thinking, "this is the day"....and NOTHING!  Yet, I feel for the rest of July filers who are at other CS that are worse than us.  Will keep on waiting.
