In the I-130 form, for the question " Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?

Do we need to provide the evidence?

Generally no. USCIS will know anyway, no matter how you answer. If you lie, game over.

Is it normal if there was no option provided to upload the 2x2 photo in online filing for IR5?

i am asking if it was a technical glitch.

Hi All,

 

June filers are getting updates from USCIS

 

we should hopefully see updates by next month

[Dan2023 26]

Hi Folks, Checking in if anyone got any updates

[elmers 293]

No major update. Says estimated time left is 10 months for one parent and 2 months for another. Both at the same center, filed the same day. I don't think the projected time is accurate.

[Dan2023 26]

same here no updates yet

Any updates now that it has been a year or approaching a year for some us? My case progress has changed from taking longer than expected to 7 months. I know it is just an estimate. What has slowed down now?

For me, it says for one parent taking longer than expected and for another 13 months. But if you browse other threads, looks like approvals are coming within 12 months to 16 months, mostly. Hopefully by September-October us July applicants can start seeing approvals.

no status change for my parents

[AA&S 10]

My father was born Indian but changed his nationality in 2000’s. He gave up the indian nationality.
Us immigration CEAC asked for police clearance.
However i found that Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) nationals applying outside India.

Does he need one or not?

Everyday I'm checking and nothing. It seems as though they have been stuck approving submissions from the end of June. Just when you think you are seeing light at the end of tunnel.

I decided to log in at 0915 this morning and when I went to my email for the 2 step verification email I saw an email was sent by USCIS at 0913. Logged in and saw the approval under the documents tab. The first tab is still saying it is actively being reviewed. Hope approvals for July come quickly.
