Hi!

Not sure who to believe. VJ I-130 processing time for CSC (183 days) which is based on stats of members or the 22 months the USCIS website is showing for I-130 (USC petitioning spouse). 

Please advise. Thanks.

File and plan for I-130 to take at least a year to be approved. 

Be pleasantly surprised if it happens before then... be slightly annoyed when it doesn't. 

Make sure your package for NVC won't lead to an RFE.

Wait for DQ. Wait for interview date.

Go about your day to day life. Remind yourself: you and your partner will eventually live together in the US.

Thanks Kor2US,

Sorry I'm still familiarizing myself w/ acronyms. What is DQ please?

Also, does filing online limit your ability to upload docs and misc. evidence as you would normally do when you file paper and send via snail mail? 

Can you still see requested RFEs and NOAs if you create a USCIS account online and file by mail? 

TIA

DQ = documentarily qualified.

It means the requested documents you uploaded DS260. I-864 (and supporting documents) and Police clearance certificates are in order and you are in line to have your application sent to the embassy/consulate for interview.

You can file as much supporting evidence as you like but each file shouldn't be more than 6MBs. You can upload pdfs, JPEGS or JPGs.

I'm not sure if you can see requested RFEs or NOAs online if you file by mail.
