Just checked my parents status it went from taking longer than expected for the longest time to now 7 months for my dad and 4 months for my mom smh, I hope we are still on track to get an approval sooner than that, their PD is 6/25/2023. Has anyone else had their estimated time jump all over the place in the past few months?

I was approved yesterday and have an approval notice. My status still says actively reviewing and my estimated time to decision changed from 11 months to 13 months this morning. Long story short, even though we want some indication of an end, the estimated time on the USCIS website is horrible.

No email from NVC yet. Yesterday was notified by USCIS that my case was sent to NVC. My mom was approved 8/14/24. I don’t know how long it will take. I have asked other people on here who were approved before me, but did not get an answer. It seems once some get approved they never bother with responding to the questions of others or they are busier. If I get anything I will let you know.

anyone else waiting on 2 parents (or have been approved for 2 parents)? Wish they would process those together  hopefully it isn't a big gap

It took about five weeks from acceptance to “Case was sent to NVC status” and then another week from that for “NVC welcome email”. Hope that helps, everything is in the thread by the way, just takes a little digging back through the posts.

Thank you for the info! Hoping things continue to move along. All the best to you!

Today, I was able to submit all required documents for my mother's application

 

 

let's see how long will it take for NVC review and hopefully no changes or additional documents are requested.

 

I will inform when NVC will schedule the interview appointment.

 

Good luck everyone!

Cheers!
