I think they have been working on September 2022 at this moment. At this rate, some of us might hear about it in two or three months. My mom's application said it is taking longer than usual stuff, whereas my dad's said it would take 2 months to go. They were both applied for on the same day.

I saw November filer's case was approved. So it may be case by case and Service Center related.

Does anyone know or have applied for tourist visa while waiting the petition?

I am talking about the main group that is moving along. But, of course, there are some random or specific cases, like what you said.

My parents see to be staggerred too....worried what happens if this all doesn't synch up....

Dad's timeline is 8 months, mom's is 10 months....dad's status changed to actively reviewed 6 days ago, and mom's is still sitting on received....

My dad's has a week to go but his application has been under reviewed since Sept 1st.

By far this is the most active thread. so let's see what the next few months bring.

For one of my parents it is now showing estimated time until case decision: 3 months. For other progress is same "Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You will be notified if you need to take any action."

UPDATE:
both cases have been under review sine Aug 15. Today one shows estimated time until case decision 3 weeks and other case 2 months.

Hi All,

 

Jan 31 filer here. Checked the status for my parent recently and it was saying 4 weeks. Now it is is saying 8 months. Any idea why this shifted so far out? The case is assigned to the Texas service center.

I saw a lot of cases got recently approved specially with PD around 11/7/2022 and Approval date around 9/23/2023. Looking at those timelines, it looks like average time of approval is between 10.5 - 11 months.
I was trying to look at my case status again (obsessed), but USCIS server was down.

Just checked my parents case my mom’s changed to 3 weeks after they reviewed it on September 1 while my dad’s was reviewed Aug 1 and changed the timeline to another 4 months 

[eiseli 3]

As with some people in this thread, my dad's timeline changed from taking too long to two weeks while being reviewed since September 1st. My mom's is still taking a too long stage while being reviewed since February.

It looks like the USCIS has been working on 2022 December for awhile. Any of you guys heard about or have changed your status lately for 2023 Jan? Mine have been the same for awhile.

Is your dad petition still showing 2weeks since it changed from taking longer back in September?

It is now taking longer after that two-week period. I think they are mainly working on November and December for now, and I am hoping some of us will start seeing some approval around the end of this month.
