October 2019 Filers I-130 IR5

[HanhChi 25]

So, after weeks of waiting, the sputum tests of both my parents came back negative! They will be sending their passports/medical reports to the consulate for the visas to be issued. Another wait begins, but we are closer to the end of this journey than ever before.

Hey guys! My parents’ visas have been issued!!! It has been such a long wait with some hiccups along the way but I am so glad that we made it. Hoping some of you have got good news too. Please update your case if you can! 

This is the timeline of my parents’ cases. I hope it helps if someone is in a similar situation.
