We just got approved!   So far no paper or email notice, but I check the "new" and "old" sites daily (obsessive, I suppose?) and discovered on the new site we were approved on 8/14/2019. NOA

Hi guys! This is my first post here but i have been following the topics for a while now, just never had the guts to post anything 😅

Me and my husband we were struggling after we got married thinking what was the best option of visa process for us. We got married in July in West Palm Beach, FL and were thinking about AOS but I got scared that i wasn't going to be able to help financially while waiting the process to move forward and reading a lot of mixed information about marriage fraud alert on AOS processes, so we end choosing to do the entire process being away thinking it would be less risky and also trying our best to save as much money we can during this time apart. 
Our I130 noa1 is September and in Nebraska, the slowest of them all, this makes me question if we made the right decision by not doing the AOS. 
My question for you guys is there any option of after Nebraska receive our case, can I go to the USA and filled the AOS form? I dont even know if that makes sense to all experts we have in here, but we are just trying to figure out what options we have aside from sitting waiting and crying hahaha

Luck to us all 

No, you cannot enter the US on a visitor visa or an ESTA with intent to adjust status, since that is visa fraud in violation of your visitor visa. Doing so can result in a lifetime ban from the US if you are discovered to have committed visa fraud (and they do look at these forums so they can and will find out), not worth it at all to risk never coming to the US by doing so. You can't come on a non-immigrant visa with intent to immigrate on it

That's awful, 400 days?! I hope you hear from them soon.. 

Got a reply from USCIS: "Currently, the NSC is processing most cases of this type within approximately 16 months from the Form I-130 receipt date."

 

We're not too far behind in terms of waiting. Been 355 days now since Mar 1, 2019.
