Hello everyone,

 

My mother’s petition was approved and we’re in the process of gathering all the documents needed. Unfortunately we’ve been having lockdowns back home in the Philippines which have been causing delays.

 

Is there a deadline/timeline for the family visa? Like if we don’t submit everything by a certain date, the application will expire?

An approved I-130 for IR5 does not expire, but NVC will send back the petition for storage if they do not get any communication or upload activity on the CEAC account within 1 year.  Easy solution -- upload whatever documents you already have, then if you are not able to get the remaining documents within a year, email NVC to keep the case open.

Thanks so much for the information, Chancy. I’ve been looking everywhere for an answer.

How long did it take for the I-130 to get approved?
