Hi I’m a petitioner (US citizen)and filed for my husband’s I-130 online and got a confirmation letter with priority date of 4/22/2020. I filed the night before the Executive order by Trump came out. 
Has anyone else filed during this time? Is USCIS processing I-130 for spouses of US citizens during this time? Just wondering if there is any movement on these type of cases...

USCIS has not stopped processing petitions.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

It sounds like you haven't read anything about the order or the order itself.

There's a huge thread on the homepage which spells out the exemptions.

Okay... why do you have to be snarky and judgemental? 
I have read the order. But I’m asking from USCIS perspective. There is a difference in what is shared publicly and what is actually happening in terms of application processing. 

You don’t have to waste your time responding to a question you cannot contribute towards. Thank you

USCIS perspective is the executive order, period.

How would people here know what USCIS hasn't made public? This forum isn't related to USCIS in any way.

 

Here's the mentioned post with details from the executive order which has the info.

My husband and I filed on May 4, 2020 electronically. Got our NOA1 within 10 minutes on the website.

Hmm is that first NOA1 that basically says “we received you application and payment and a Receipt number and priority date has been assigned”? 
If it’s this one , then we got that one too in a couple of hours.

Hey, I am a bit confused with your profile. Is your husband already in USA or is in Pakistan?? When did you get married? Your timeline says POE was in 2011...? Then why filed for spouse visa..?
