November 2022 I-130 Filers

[Saihtiam 11]

My situation is the same. It just says "it's taking longer than expected". Guess we'll just have to wait a little longer

Same here. Our estimate went from 3  months to taking longer than expected since April.

PD 05-NOV-2022

NOA1 05-NOV-2022

 

Still waiting

Hi All. I just want to share an update with you my fellow Nov 2022 filers. 

Our I-130 just got approved today, Sep 20, 2023. We filed on Nov 2, 2022. 

On our USCIS account's homepage, it said it was being actively reviewed as of Sep 23 and that the estimated time is still 2 months. But when I looked under the "Documents" tab, that's where I found the I-130 approval notice. 

 

It feels so good to finally get this news. I hope you guys get the good news soon too, if you haven't yet. 

Good luck to us all!

Congratulations! That’s great news.

We got our case approved yesterday! We found out from the "Documents" section.

PD 11/05/2022. NOA1 11/05/2022 from Nebraska SC. NOA2 09/21/2023 from Texas SC.

Hope the best to everyone!

Congratulations everyone! It's so hopeful to see November filers getting our approvals. Best of luck to everyone, one step at a time.

Our I-130 was approved yesterday! We received an email saying that there was an update to our case but when we checked the website we got an error. Trying again this morning we got through and now we got the official news. Honestly, this didn't take as long as we had expected originally.

Our document mentions that it has now been sent to the NVC in Rochester, NH and that the NVC would contact the beneficiary. As we filed online, should we expect contact via email or regular snail mail?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Congratulations to everyone else who's also gotten the good news and for those who are still waiting, I'm sure good news is just around the corner.

Congratulations! We got the same message. Now waiting for the NVC welcome letter.

They should contact you by e-mail or physical mail (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html).

Though most references I have, they got an email.

We ust got the welcome email from the NVC with all the information in there on how to proceed. Exciting stuff!

Hello all,

 

Our I-130 was approved on 9/29/23, after we originally filed online on 11/14/22.  The NOA1 notice was generated by Texas SC but the Approval notice (NOA2) was from Nebraska (I’ve updated my timeline accordingly). 

 

As with a few of the more recent posts, I didn’t receive any email update but was “periodically” checking the online portal (aka, every day! Ha!), and spotted the approval notice under the “documents” tab.  Case status was also updated to “case is being actively reviewed by USCIS” on Sept 29, 2023, so I assume they’ve updated the “status” tab on the same day as posting the approval notice. 

 

Seems like I-130 processing is generally speeding up / all the Service Centers seem to be on roughly the same timeline, although the NVC process seems to be taking a little longer at the moment.  At least step 1 is now complete.

 

Best of luck all - hopefully not too long to wait for the majority of the Nov 2022 filers!

Hello everyone. Did anybody here file a petition for parents and just got approved? TIA

[ekster 8]

Our petition approval notice appeared on the USCIS page today. Timeline updated accordingly. A relief to be moving on to the next step!

[LincKay 13]

We received the notification that our case got approved today. We filed on Nov 13th 2022. 
 

🤞🏼 crossed all

goes well and good luck to us all. 

[LincKay 13]

In the time line, it mentions DS-261, is this the only form we need from NVC and not DS-260? 

Thank you guys. 

[LincKay 13]

We are waiting for the letter from NVC, does anyone know when I should apply for police certificate (UK)?

 

Thank you guys.
