I-130 LOOK AT NEXT STEPS

[Shariar Rahman 2]

Hi there, my wife filed an petition for me last march. We received the NOTICE OF ACTION (Form I-797C) in march, which stated that they received the form and its processing. Later on within a week we received another letter which stated some login credentials for USCIS account  and told us to activate the USCIS account. As required, we activated the account. Now I would like to know what's the next step? Its been a couple of months and still we didn't received any update. Please note the priority date is 17th March 2021 and the petitioner is a US citizen and visa type is CR1.

You wait for either an RFE or approval.....then the petition moves to NVC, where they will require more documents...

Here is the guide:

you wait

this whole process is "hurry up and wait"

and unless USCIS sends an RFE for needed evidence ,  you wait 

 

Please create a timeline

 

i would expect your wait will include extra security checks as you had to abondon the F4 and change to CR1

Hi JeanneAdil thanks for your kind response. Please note that I didn't had to abandon F4, NVC automatically removed my name from CEAC due to CSPA age. By the way can you predict how long it would take to get approved based on the PD. Looking forward!

unforunately i could not predict an length of time not even before covid

but i advise going to your portal (hit the word portal on top of page) and read posts and embassy reviews from others at your embassy

Hi there, 

On march 2021 my wife (U.S. Citizen) filed an I-130 for me. According to the USCIS account they received the documents of the application on March 17th 2021. After that the only update I received on the end of August is that they are reviewing the documents received. Can anyone tell how much more time would they need to update the next step? Even though its already been more than 5 months!

You can check the processing times for the I130 by service center at USCIS.gov.
