Sorry you both got RFEs. Fingers crossed for more September approvals and quick resolution of your RFEs! ☹️

I contacted a congresswoman in January and she called Potomac. All that resulted was an officer checked my file, told her that it was being processed normally and no further documentation was necessary from me. Soon after it went into AR but that was just because of the officer checking.

 

Expedites... I'm not sure. I hear they rarely work and I don't know if physical, stress-related health issues is good enough of a reason to try. Does anyone else know? In that case, I feel like a lot of us are experiencing the same thing and they'd probably be inundated with requests. 😅

You are right. I have tried expediting twice, latest was stress which i am now being medicated for and they didnt even request evidence, Just said no!

I'm sorry to hear that. I know it doesn't help much, but at least you're not alone.  I think that you need to submit evidence with the expedite request though, or did you not have the option to?

i made the request over the phone and told them I had a letter from my doc. They said they would review and come back in 7 days. I expected them to at least ask for the letter but they just came back and said no.

 

I am an LPR filing for my husband in UK. In the new processing section I saw this notice below. A whole bunch of us on in Vermont who are LPR got this. I don't even understand! Just made me more depressed.

 

Estimated time until case decision:

Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You do not need to take any action at this time.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try submitting over form/email and let you know what the outcome is. Maybe it's worth another attempt for you.

 

I have this notification as well (your case is taking longer). I think it is just a standardized status based on when you submitted your petition versus the official processing time that they publish.

Yes I might try again. Do you know where I can get the form or email address please?

I applied for my parents on September 18 2021 online. My PD for both cases is Sep 18,2021. I am still waiting for an update from Texas Service Center. 🤦‍♀️

My parents’ I130 got approved today. I saw actively reviewing status and as mentioned by fellow vjers, checked the documents section and the i130 approval notices were waiting there. The notice says the nvc will contact the beneficiaries. Will they email or mail? I filed online. Initially my service center was texas but it got transferred to California.

I looked into it again and I was mistaken. It looks like they provide you with that after you speak with them on the phone, so you went about it the right way. Sorry about that.

They will email. I got an email and the beneficiary got an email, the emails were the same.

Sept 13

[Taylor_ 0]

NO1: 22-September-2021

Service Center Indicated as Nebraska

AR: 14-February-2022

 

I contacted a live agent via Emma to confirm location of case because our case went passed the normal processing time for Nebraska. 

The live agent indicated my case was actually at Potomac SC. I didn't receive any notification that the SC had changed. 

 

Keeping fingers crossed that we'll receive approval any day now!!
