i-130 I-130 petition for parents

[Irina3991 0]

I’m a naturalized citizen of the US. In January 2021 I filed I-130 petition for my mother to bring her here from Russia. All I’ve received since then was the receipt notice and when I check status online it says as of March 2021case is being actively reviewed by USCIS.

My brother is turning 17 this year. I need my mom (once she get a GC) to file a petition for him before he turns 21. It’s been 17 months since I’ve filed for my mother and I’m very worried. I just hope it’s not lost somewhere. When I try to submit online inquiry due to outstanding timeline it says that the case is not out of the timeframe. 

 

Calling USCIS isn’t helping either because it’s impossible to get a person which is reasonable because of the amount of petitioners they have. 
 

Just wanted to ask if anyone experienced the same thing or have any idea how else I could get an update on the case. 
 

I’m also concerned  since all the immigration matter for Russian citizens are handled in Warsaw. My mom will need to obtain Schengen visa to go there I assume. Her current visa expires in November. Considering circumstances getting Schengen visa isn’t easy either.

Try Ask Emma on the USCIS website and ask to chat with a live agent.
