I-130's approved in this year

[Sammy.NZ 45]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone who submitted their I-130 THIS year (2021) been approved yet?

 

We submitted early Feb and in April the online status switched from 'received' to 'actively being reviewed'  so was feeling optimistic we'd have this part approved by July or August (my original ETA from VisaJourney) - but lately I've been getting estimates closer to January 2022. The waiting and not knowing is the hardest part  

 

Cheers

I would say 7-9 months is a fair estimate of I-130 approval times, obviously it's different for everyone.

I hate to say this but welcome to the process. It is hard but you are in good company here.

I filed at beginning of March for hubby and 2 sons. The boys are both showing actively under review for 2+ months. No action on hubby. We were so excited at first thinking it would be done by end of year but we made a decision to live our lives as we normally would and not make changes based on the status of filing. 
 

The plan is for me to go there from Oct to Jan so we can celebrate our birthdays and Xmas together. Also trying to decide what we will do if the boys are approved before he is.

I submitted the I-130 for my spouse back in May 2021 and got my second NOA2 this week on July 21. It was only in active review for a day. I wish you the best of luck!

I filed I-130's online for wife and step daughter in March and they were approved in April.  48 days total.  Nothing expedited or any apparent priority or tricks.  Just lucky I guess.   NVC is going a bit slower.
