[xort35 0]

Hi,  I am a US citizen and I filed I130 for my parents in July 1st, 2022.  The "Estimated time until case decision" gone from 4 weeks left to, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week and now saying "Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You do not need to take any action at this time.".   It has been saying this for 3 weeks now.

Yeah, are you in the process of I130 too?  What is your status?

Same here. Filed July 14, 2022 went to actively reviewing in September and 6weeks processing time. By December it just says the case is taking longer than expected to process until now.

I filed in July 2022 for both my parents as well. One saying 4 weeks pending and the other one saying taking longer than expected. Has anyone tried calling USCIS for a status update ? thinking of doing that this week.

Does anyone have a recent experience with I 130 for IR5 (parents from Russia)?  I filed it in July 2022, and also got the same message wait time 4 weeks -> 3->2->1-> Case is taking longer than expected. Tried expediting twice and got denied both times. Hoping to find out more about realistic timeline expectations. Thank you for sharing in advance.

I tried 3 times. Twice through an attorney, once through a congressman. Every time got a rejection. 

The case finally got approved in June 2023 through a normal processing times.

 The good thing is once it moved to NVC it’s been moving along. 

Hopefully your case gets approved soon as well.

Ohh nice ! Is there like a number you call or a form you fill for expediting ?

One parent got approved ..wohoo, the other parent is till under review, even though I applied for both at the same time. 🤔
