Just an observation, Potomac suddenly jumped from its initial 2.5- 7months duration to 13-15.5months.

 

As at last week, the present receipt date for case was february 19,2019,  now it jumped back to may 8, 2018. 

 

Is this normal/ real

(recently) 

 

 

(Previously...) 

?, or there is a glitch on the system? 

sometimes the truth pops out and they cover it up

I current have O1 visa now

Here is my timeline (NY,QUEENS)

• I sent my I-485/130/131/765 on Aug 10th and package was delivered by 8/12 (Called USCIS on 8/26, said my case wasn't in system yet and they suggest me to email lockbox support by email to track my package) 
• I Finally got text message of my (I-485/130/131) three I797C MCS# on 9/4/2019
• Received I-765 rejected letter on 9/6/2019 (I wrote the wrong category  on I-765 , i should have write C9,so my I765 get rejected )
• Received I-797C letter by mail on 9/9/2019
• received the finger print appointment letter by mail on 9/13/2019
• Resubmit my I-765 on 9/19/2019
• Finished my finger print on 9/24/2019
• Received I-765 receipt text message on 9/26/2019 receipt # is IOE# 

 

Now my I-485/130/131 I797C receipt all start with MSC# which is processing by NBC, but my I-765 EAD card is processing by Integrated Operating Env location

 

Does anyone have same experience ?

I am an alien and I will be going to the US this coming December to spend holidays with my USC husband. My form I-130 is already in process, can I stay in the USA with my husband under tourist visa while waiting for the approval of I-130? I am planning to go back in my country of reaidence once USCIS notified me about the approval of my Form I-130. Would that be possible?

Do you already have a B2 visa?  If so then yes if it hasn't expired.

Yeah, I have a tourist visa valid for 10 years and multiple entry. My concern is if I can stay there while waiting during the allowable stay as tourist? Won’t that affect my pending immigrant application if the officer will see that I spend months there?

Make sure you can show ties back to "home".  Don't overstay and stay less in the US then at home.

Even with the 10-years tourist visa, you will typically be allowed to visit for up to 6 months at a time. Do not overstay.

This is for those under Potomac Service Center...

 

I have been constantly checking the case processing time through https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ and basing on the receipt date for a case inquiry, they are currently processing January 23, 2019 for spouse of USC. Also, it changes every single day if you are browsing it everyday.

 

Hence, if your PD falls on August 2019 which happens to be mine, the time it becomes current is on April 2020.

 

This is just my humble observation. Just sharing it with you guys. Correct me if I am wrong. 

 

Thanks and the waiting period for the approval of Form I-130 agitates me badly ;(

Dates are just moving up and down on the uscis timeline accross various service centers. I think the best thing is to check less often, program your mind to be alright and engage in some activities that will keep your mind away for now to ease depression. 

 

One day, we'll all be with our love ones in Trumpland. 😊
