Hello All, 

Obligatory, if already created please remove/provide the link to existing topic. But after searching I did not see a thread for those who filed their I-130 in December 2023.

 

I (US Citizen) am filing for my husband (Mexican citizen). He crossed the border illegally as a kid (not DACA) and has been here for over 15 years. I know we will have to file an I-601a (or I-601 still not sure which will be needed). Does anyone know when during the process the I-601a should be filed? Actually, the order of all forms would really help just for peace of mind and reassurance, I have been down the rabbit hole and terrified with what some of these lawyers put their clients through.

 

Visa Journey: 

Nov 21, 2022: finalized with lawyer to begin the process.

Dec 5, 2022: I-130 was submitted. 

Dec 9,2022: Received account acceptance notice. Nebraska Service Center, I have seen some say they started with Nebraska but got switched to a different center (fingers crossed it's not because everywhere else other than California has longer processing times). 

Jan 7,2023: Case is actively being reviewed. 

 

While logged into my account the Processing Time tab states that my estimated time until case decision is 3 months. however, the Check Case Processing Times site (egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/) put it at 10.5 months. Is there a reason why they don't match? 

 

Anyways, Good luck to us all!
